Sri Rama Charithram Part 11

      Hey guys. This is the most recent Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did. My mom continued on the topic of Sri Rama Charithram. In this Satsangam, my mom continued on the topic of Yuddha Kandam (War Between Rama and Ravana). She first talked about the Rama Sethu Bridge between India and Sri Lanka. The Rama Sethu Bridge was built  in order for crossing the ocean. Rama engineered the building of this bridge with the help of Vanaras (monkeys). So, with the help of Rama's grace, they built Sethubandhanam (Rama Sethu Bridge). Even after arriving in Sri Lanka, Rama wishes peace between Ravana and him. He sends Angathan (Vali's son) for a peace talk between them. But, Ravana didn't want to give Sita to Rama. So, the war begins. Initially in the war, Indrajith (Ravana's son) was successful in throwing the Nagastram, which fainted everyone in Rama's side including Rama. So, Indrajith thought that he was succesful in killing those people. But, with the sudden appearance of Garuda from Vaikunda, everybody was revived as if they've just woke up from a deep sleep. The next day, Ravana himself came to war. But this time, he was totally defeated and he even lost his crown. Rama showed mercy and he told Ravana to come back again tomorrow. At this time, Ravana felt very ashamed of his state. Here is the video below for Sri Rama Charithram Part 11. Enjoy!

Deivathin Kural Reading Circle

      Hey guys. Recently, our family started a group called Deivathin Kural Reading Circle. The point of this group is for people to read one topic of Deivathin Kural each week. Deivathin Kural is a compilation of talks given by Sri Mahaperiyava himself. It's available in book form as well as pdf form. We have created a Google Sheet where people could record the weekly goal of one chapter like a reading log. Personally, I think this will benefit further generations as the talks given by Sri Mahaperiyava displays significance about Hindu Dharma and also relates to current philosophical aspects. It is also interesting to acquire more knowledge about something that we don't know about our Hindu philosophies. Coming from one of the greatest minds, the Deivathin Kural is a very important book filled with innuendos that relate to everyday spiritual life and it showcases a pathway to attain success in life. It is definitely a must read book, and that is why we have created this reading circle, for people to gain knowledge of the profound philosophies spoken in a simple enough language for us to understand and to gain a better understanding of our Hindu culture and tradition. We have only started this reading circle a couple of weeks back. If anyone is interested in joining, please let us know so we could add your name in the reading circle. You could give your email address through this blog or the comment section below so that we could give you the access to the Google Sheet. If you have any questions or suggestions leave it in the comment section below. Thank you for the support. Tune in for more content.

Sri Rama Charithram Part 10

      Hey guys. This is the most recent Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did. My mom continued on the topic of Sri Rama Charithram. In this Satsangam, my mom started on the topic of Vibhishana Charanagathi (total surrender to the Almighty). She first explained about the qualities of Charanagathi as well as the qualities of the person who surrenders. We have seen how Devas surrendered in Bala Khandam, Bharatha surrender in Ayodhya Khandam, and all the sages surrender in Aranya Khandam, etc. But what makes Vibhishana Charanagathi different from the rest is that Vibhishana had all the qualities of Charanagathi. In this Satsangam, she talked about how Vibhishana tries to give good advices to his brother, Ravana, to give back Sita to Rama. Ravana refuses to listen to Vibhishana and he kicked Vibhishana out of his kingdom. Vibhishana took this as a boon and totally surrendered to Rama.
