Sri Rama Charithram Part 6 in the Presence of Sri Mahaperiyava's Paadhukai

      Hey guys. This is the most recent Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did. My mom continued on the topic of Sri Rama Chairthram. In this Satsangam, my mom continued and finished the topic of Aranya Kandam, meaning entering in to the dense forest. She talked about Jatayu Moksham and Sabari Moksham, which happens to be one of my favorite parts of the Ramayana. She introduced a little bit of the story of Hanuman. In this Satsangam, everyone was really excited and anxious to hear the introduction of Hanuman. Here, Rama suffered deeply as Sita, his beloved wife, was abducted by Ravanan. It was really fascinating to hear the three phases of Rama as my mom said about how Rama acted as a Rishi (sage or saint), human, and Eeshwara (God). Here we can see Rama as a one whole almighty that is Parabrahma.
      We also happened to be blessed by Sri Mahaperiyava himself, as one of our friends brought Mahaperiyava's Paadhukai (holy feet) to our Satsangam all the way from Seattle, Washington. We never expected we would be blessed in this way by Mahaperiyava himself as this is the third successful year of our Sri Mahaperiyava Satsangam. Even all the devotees who came for the Satsangam were overwhelmed with joy and tears. My mom told me that Mahaperiyava is the divine force that is driving this Satsangam and she used to say that Mahaperiyava himself is telling all of the stories and not her. I believed in as everyone would contribute to the Satsangam by listening in on my mom's words and fulfilling the purpose of this Satsangam, which is to spread acknowledgement of our Hindu stories, cultures, traditions, values, meaning, and many more. This also came to surprise me that my mom never prepares for any of these Satsangams as well. This Satsangam was very divine as people eagerly awaited for Mahaperiyava's Paadhukai in the beginning and the next story of Hanuman in the end.
      This Satsangam was our third anniversary as I already stated before and we were blessed to do this event in the presence of Sri Mahaperiyava himself. The first video below is the arriving of Mahaperiyava's Paadhukai and the chanting of the slokas. The second video below is the video for Sri Rama Charithram Part 6. Happy Holidays! Enjoy!

 

 

 

Sri Rama Charithram Part 5

      Hey guys. This is the most recent Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did. My mom continued on the topic of Sri Rama Charithram Part 5. In this Satsangam, my mom started on the topic of Aranya Kandam, meaning entering in to the dense forest. She also talked about Rama's three forms being a Parabrahmam, an almighty, and a mighty hero. She elaborated by saying one should elevate himself to see Rama in al three forms. Here is the video below for Sri Rama Charithram Part 5. Enjoy!

Sri Rama Charithram Part 4

      Hey guys. This is the most recent Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did. My mom continued on the topic of Sri Rama Charithram. From now on, I'll write a little summary of what she said. This Satsangam was about how Rama, without asking any questions, respects his father's words. The previous day he was appointed as a ruler of the empire, but the very next day he was sent to the forest by his stepmother. In spite of it, he acted as a "Stithapragnya" or one who shows no reaction, and he went to the forest in order to keep the promise of his father. Who else will do this? Even though Baratha is only one day younger to Rama, you could see the relationship between the two. Also, my mom ends this by saying how Rama's brother Baratha was appointed ruler. Here is the video below for Sri Rama Charithram Part 4. Enjoy!

Sri Krishna Charithram Part 2

      Hey guys. I know I haven't been posting any new content in this blog. That's because it's nearing the end of school and I have a lot of work to do and couldn't find enough time. Hopefully, I could manage my time well and find time to upload some interesting, new content to this blog. But, my mom's Mahaperiyava Satsangam is still going on. I've decided to not post the live stream video during the live stream as we encountered technical difficulties while doing so. From now on, I'll give reminders on my blog the week before and day before and post the video of the live stream directly after its done. This is her continuation of the story of Krishna. Here is the video below for Sri Krishna Charithram Part 2. Enjoy!

Sri Krishna Charithram Part 1

I even have many competitions running this weekend, so I couldn't post anything new this week. Probably next week will be my redemption week. My mom had a Mahaperiyava Satsangam last week and I couldn't live stream it because I was just that busy. She started saying the story of Krishna. Here is the video below for Krishna Charithram Part 1.

Shiva Aparadha Kshamapana Stotram Meaning in Tamil

     
      Hey guys. Given below is the meaning, in Tamil, of Shiva Aparadha Kshamapana Stotram. It's a beautiful and a moving Stotram on Lord Shiva composed by Sri Sankaracharya. Basically, this Stotram seeks the forgiveness from Lord Shiva for all our misdeeds (Paavam) and seeks eternal bliss. It's always better to chant the Stotram with full knowledge of its meaning. That'll give us good Bhaavam (attitude).
      This article was composed by my dad. But, all the verses of the meaning will be a Tamil translation of the original Sanskrit verses. Below is the Shiva Aparadha Kshamapana Stotram Meaning in Tamil. Tune in for more content.

Forgotten Places in India

      Hey guys. I didn't post anything last week because I was super busy. Even this week, I was busy. But, I found this time appropriate to post something new in my blog. This article was also based on a message sent to us. This article is about the most forgotten place in India which is the Northeast part. I'll be embedding a video describing the lost value and preciousness of the Northeast. I'll be posting about 3 to 4 posts in the next few days, since I didn't post anything last week. This article is going to be pretty short. Tune in for more content like this. With that said, I'll be happy to introduce the article, "Forgotten Places in India."

Udhyoga Parva - Krishnar Dhoodhu of the Mahabharatha

      Hey guys. We received some comments about the previous live stream and that the audio wasn't working. I listened to the live stream myself and couldn't figure out what happened. The last 30 minutes of the live stream had perfect audio though, surprisingly. Personally, I don't know what happened. Good thing for us we had the audio for the live stream. I was again disappointed that the live stream had some errors, but it motivated me to fix those little mishaps. My sister downloaded the video and audio onto Movie Maker in our computer and I overlapped the audio and video so the whole video is synchronized. I also uploaded the video to YouTube. It took a while to upload because it was such a big file. The video is down below. This is Udhyoda Parva - Krishnar Dhoodhu of the Mahabharatha said by my mom. Tune in for more content like this. Enjoy!

Number 5 is the Auspicious Number for Almighty

    
      Hey guys. Sorry for not posting some content last week because I was really busy. Today I'll be talking about something very different from what I normally post. Unlike getting information from another article and stating my opinions and connections on it, I'm getting my information from an anonymous person who forwarded a message to us. It's all written in Tamil, but don't worry. I'll be giving an English translation and interpretation on the writing. I'll have the Tamil writing below the English verses. This article also involves numbers like a previous article I did about the value of pi. This article is going to be pretty short. Tune in for more content like this. With that said, I'll be happy to introduce the article, "Number 5 is the Auspicious Number for Almighty."

Virata Parva of the Mahabharatha

      Hey guys. Due to some technical difficulties we weren't able to live stream our Mahaperiyava Satsangam yesterday. But, fortunately we recorded the audio of the Virata Parva Charithram. I was really disappointed that the live stream didn't turn out. But, it motivated me to do something different with the audio recording. My sister and I created a PowerPoint slide presentation with the audio of our Mahaperiyava Satsangam in the background. My sister turned that into a YouTube video and uploaded it just now. From now on, we are planning to create these type of PowerPoint YouTube videos for my mom's Mahaperiyava Satsangams that we don't have a video/live stream for. This is Virata Parva Charithram said by my mom. Here is the video below. Enjoy!

      Hey guys. Today I'll be revisiting interesting topics about the Hindu religion. But, this article is about its influence and how its very wide spread.

Akshara Mana Maalai

   
      Hey guys. On the auspicious day of 137^th Jayanthi (birthday) of Sri Ramana Maharishi (January 12, 2017), I’m giving you guys the history and background of Akshara Mana Maalai. It’s the first composition of Sri Ramana Maharishi. It consists of 108 beautiful verses and dwells on the highest principles of reality. It’s called Akshara Mana Maalai because each verse is alphabetically arranged. Mana Maalai means wedding garland. The verses are in the form of the dialogue between the bride (Ramana Maharishi) and the groom (Lord Arunachala).
      This is yet another work of my dad, but I'm working on an interesting article that I'll be posting tomorrow. The words are all in English, not Tamil. Below is the history of the Akshara Mana Maalai. Tune in for more content like this.

Pathigam for Getting Rid of Hardhsips and Obstacles

     
      Hey guys. I only posted the translation last week, because it was a really long translation. I will post another content later today or tomorrow, if possible. Today, I'm again posting a content that my dad has created on Pathigam for Getting Rid of Hardships and Obstacles.
      The background of this article is that, this Pathigam was sung by Thirugnanasambandar on Lord Shiva. By singing this Pathigam we can get rid of our hardships and obstacles. Once one devotee of Sri Mahaperiyava wanted to go to Kasi and North India Pilgrimage; But due to some reason, he always faced some hardships and obstacles. He prayed to Mahaperiyava. Mahaperiyava suggested this Pathigam. That devotee kept chanting and finally successfully completed his pilgrimage. We can also sing this Pathigam for our benefit.
      My dad gave the meaning in English to each of the stanzas in the Pathikam. There are some pictures to go along with the songs and the songs are written in Tamil. Sorry if you can't read Tamil, but still you have the English meanings. Below is the full Pathikam in a google doc. Tune in for more content like this.
