Sri Satguru Gnanananda Divya Charithram

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on November 30, 2019. In this satsangam, she talked about Gnananandar. She initially described about formless nameless Parabrahmam and relates with Gnananandhar. She also told that nobody know about the birth date or the year of the Swamigal. Basically, Sathguru Gnananandha Swamigal comes from Adi Shankaracharya's Parampara. He was the pontiff of the Jyotir Mutt and after leaving the Mutt he walked all over India. He went to Kailash twice. He himself has told that he has visited Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Kabirdas, Thukaram, Gnaneshwar, Vallalar, Ramanar, etc. Finally, he made his Ashram at Tapovanam. She talked about all his Leelas which was really astonishing. It was more of a Leela Charithram. I was wondering about this great Swamigal, who's date of birth is not known. Let us all get the blessings of this great Sathguru Gnananandar. Here is the video below for Sri Satguru Gnanananda Divya Charithram. Enjoy!

நம்முடன் வாழ்ந்த மஹான்கள்: Sri Sivan Sar

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on November 2, 2019. In this Satsangam, she talked about Sri Sivan Sar. She started off by describing Sri Sivan Sar as Parabrahmam. She described Sri Sivan Sar as Parabrahmam throughout the discourse. Afterwards, she talked about Sri Sivan Sar's childhood and how he is the younger brother of Mahaperiyava. She even described how Mahaperiyava and Sivan Sar were both great Mahaans who were connected through telepathic powers. Then, she detailed many interesting incidents and experiences involving Sri Sivan Sar. Subsequently, she talked about Sri Sivan Sar's book Yenippadigalin Maandhargal. The book contains all sorts of information, ranging from science, history, astronomy, Vedas, astrology, etc. She briefed the book and the vitality of it. The book is set to be the soul of Sri Sivan Sar and considered to be the protector of us. I found this topic very interesting because I came to know that my mom was reading Yenippadigalin Maandhargal just recently. Out of curiosity, I also read little excerpts of this book and found it very compelling and complicated as well. I was spellbound as well as astonished at how Sri Sivan Sar, a man who led a simple life, could write this intricate information from the evolution of humans all the way to the recent human progress. I was amazed at the experiences my mom described as well because there are numerous instances where Sri Sivan Sar proved to be unworldly and a great Mahaan. It was also an eye-opener that Sri Sivan Sar lived just in recent times and was also a greatly spiritual man, along with Sri Mahaperiyava. We all should follow his words and go in a Dharmic path.

Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on September 7, 2019. In this Satsangam, she talked about Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam. She started off by talking about the Mahimai of Meenakshi and greatness of Madurai. She talked mostly about how Meenakshi appeared to foreigners. Thus, we know if we cultivate the habit of sincere Bhakthi towards Meenakshi, Meenakshi will certainly give us grace. She quoted many incidents in history about how people have protected the deities in the Madurai Meenakshi Temple for us in this period from the Muslim invasions. The Chokanathar Perumal is not any man-made Lingam. It is an existing Lingam from Yugam to Yugam (period to period). Afterwards, she talked about Meenakshi Kalyanam. She also informed the philosophy behind the Meenakshi Kalyanam story where Meenakshi appeared with 3 breasts where the first breast represents Apara Gnanam, the second breast represents Para Gnanam, and the third breast represents our own ego. When we appear before God to get Gnanam, the ego should disappear. Then only we will get Gnanam and we will attain Moksham. I found this topic very interesting because this Satsangam happened right after Srinivasa Kalyanam. Also, coincidentally, the day we did the Satsangam was when the Meenakshi Kalyanam happened at Madurai. I have never heard about this story before, but after hearing this story, it was so compelling. I love how there were many small stories embedded inside the big topic of Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam and all these stories played a pivotal role in the formation of Meenakshi, the Mahimai of Madurai Meenakshi temple, and the greatness of Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam itself. Here is the video below for Sri Meenakshi Kalyanam. Enjoy!

Srinivasa Kalyanam

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on August 18, 2019. In this Satsangam, my mom talked about Srinivasa Kalyanam. She started off by talking about the greatness of the Thirupathi Punya Kshethram. Thirumalai has been existant from the age of Krutha Yugam. In today's time, Kali Yugam, Lord Venkateshwara is a Prathyaksha (Tangible presence) Deivam for anyone. Even now, millions of devotees are thronging the shrine every day. She talked about how MahaVishnu descents from Vaikundam to Boologam and lands on Thirumalai and gives grace to all the devotees. Thirupathi was originally known for it's name, Varaha Kshethram, but ever since Lord Venkateshwara came to Thirumalai, the name, Thirupathi, became prominent. She talked about the interesting story of how Lord Srinivasa got married to Padmavati and this is called as Srinivasa Kalyanam. I found this topic very interesting because we had just traveled to India this summer and we visited a number of temples over there, including Thirupathi. The Thirupathi experience was an unforgettable one and the darshan was very pleasing. It was very interesting to hear the greatness of Thirumalai while recollecting my memories of us going to Thirupathi. This was also a completely new story to me. It is also eye-opening that the Murthy that we see in Thirupathi today is the Lord himself. I am so glad that we went to India this summer and went to all these wonderful places to relate to the story easily. Here is the video below for Srinivasa Kalyanam. Enjoy!

Sri Adi Shankara Charithram

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on May 18, 2019. In this Satsangam, my mom talked about Sri Adi Shankara Charitham. She started off by talking about the philosophies of Advaitam and she also quoted how Mahaperiyava explained Advaitam in a beautiful manner. She also explained how Adi Shankara is the universal Guru (Jagadguru). She then talked about Adi Shankara's childhood and how he lived the first eight years of his life with his mom, Aryambal. Then, she explained in detail about how Adi Shankara gets Sanyasam at the age of eight. While speaking about Adi Shankara's Sanyasam, she also described about the importance of Guru Parampara. Adi Shankara traveled across India, spreading his words of Advaitic wisdom on his way. Afterwards, he entered the Sarvagna Peetam at Kanchipuram. I found this topic very interesting because Adi Shankara is the first Guru. The story of Adi Shankara and the miracles that occurred in people's lives during his time period is just astonishing. My favorite part of Adi Shankara's story was the debate between him and Mandala Mishra. Sri Mahaperiyava himself is the sole Avataram of Sri Adi Shankara himself.
