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!
