Great saint,Music and temple visit....

1.Pestering is what i do to my friends and family and so i was pestering my bro to take me to "Avatar" but in vain...Height of boredom perhaps and so I was scouring through the pile of CD's and cassettes.One CD caught my eyes and the title read as "Life of Kanchi Sri Chandrasekara Saraswathi" fondly known as "Mahaperiyaval".Personally i have faith in "Adi Sankarar"-A great person behind "Advaitha" and "Mahaperiyaval"...Dropped the CD into my computer and for the rest one hour,i was totally glued to my screen.

He was christened as "Swaminathan".As a child he had great interest in studies and music.He admirmed his cousin who had faith in Sri Adi Sankara.

One fine day,a surprise did reach Swaminathan's family and the news said his cousin would be throned as 67th Acharya in Kanchi peetam.But later due to his cousin's sudden demise,Swaminathan who was later called as "Sri Chandrasekara Sarawathi" was adjudged as 68th Acharya in Kanchi peetam.He accepted the throne at the tender age of 13 and from then on he never visited his parents.


A person who adored simplicity,A person who walked many kilometers through his feet and strictly avoided all the luxurious things,A person who was eminent in almost 17 languages including some foreign languages,A person who gave equal importance to all the religion,A person who was a Sanskrit scholar,A person who always gave importance to education,A person who travelled most part of India through his feet and met many scholars,A person who always served for the poor people is none other than "Sri Chandrasekara Sarawathi" aka "Mahaperiyaval".He reached the heavenly adode at the age of 100,which was a great loss for the entire mankind.

He is not amongst as today,but his preachings and divine sayings will always guide us to attain the path of divinity.After watching the CD,i was so emotional and tears started to flow from my eyes.The one hour was simply a great time.

2.It is Marghazi masam and my father does his pooja at 4am.I listen lots of Kacheri's in TV.Today it was an eyecandy.I watched "Marghazi Mahavutsav" program by "Vishaka Hari".She is my favourite and i so much admire and respect her.I adore
her madisar and nose ring.Her mellifluous voice is no par...She is a multifaceted person with loads of talent i would say.I can go on and on about her....Ok let me come back to the program. She took the concept "Kuchela Charithram" which is again about my favourite "Krishna" and for one hour i was completely glued.It was again a worthy one hour to cherish.I said to myself that i have to purchase some CD's of her which is related to Krishna and experience the full rasa.Probably within a month I should do that(nooooo its not going to be ma resolution..No more to resolutions from this year)

3."Jenma sabhalya adeiden"-Wanna know the reason,here we go....It was my long time wish to visit "Uthamarkovil" and my father took me to the temple on the new year day.It is a temple famous for Saraswathi and Brahma.The main deity Sarawathi
here is popularly know for "Nyanam" and the goddess holds Olaichuvadi instead of Veenai.And it is my favourite temple.One could find separate Sannadi for almost most of the god and goddess here.Do visit the temple once and get the divine
blessingsfrom goddess.And how did i forget this,i did get the prasadam and it was Chakrapongal...If i think about prasadam,my mouth starts watering..Lemme forget the prasadam part.

On the whole it was some of the motley of events and at the end of the day,i did experience some eternal satisfaction.I am indeed a person who loves visiting temple and who loves music,so it was definitely a nice time for me.

Ciao for now....Will buzz shortly....
