    hi all,

    please find Sri Gnanananda Giri Swamigal's photo attached to my previous reply in "Pennai nadhiyin..."

    Let us keep praying for Peace on earth and Let Him shower His blessings on all of us.

    Dear rajisri,

    I am glad to see the song which was one of my regular bhajan song,'Pennai nathiyin'. We used to start the song by reciting the following lines.

    மந்தஸ்மித முகாம்போஜம்
    மஹனீய குணார்னவம்
    மதுரா பாஷினம் சாந்தம்
    சர்வ பூத தயாபரம்

    we used to sing 'Satguru gnananda Swamikaluku Jai' at the end.

    The photo of Swamikal also is very good. I have his photo in my key chain and so I can say my pranams to him often.

    Radhe Krishna

    TDU

    Dear TDU,

    I loved your poetic expression. But i guess a Guru is to lead you to "God in You" but your poem seem to realize the divinity in your Guru and turned blind to the divinity unexplored within you. May that love and divinity brighten up and shed light to experience the God right within You and all around you.

    It is out of pure Sai bonding that I write this to you. I'd love to be corrected if you have any misgivings on what I've expressed.

    Hi, all,

    This is rajisri's post. I have only corrected the font for your easy reading.

    Regards,

    TDU

    Hi all,

    There is an article in vikatan about an incident on Swamigal and Bagawan Sri Yogi Ramsuratkumar Swamigal. It is in the recent Shakthi vikatan. To see the photo of Him and of Thapovanam gives immense pleasure and brought tears in my eyes. Wanted to share the same with you all. Let Him be with us. I tried to copy that article but do not get the fonts...if anybody can help me, I can try to produce it correctly.

    regards
    raji

    Dear Lalithasai,

    Sairam

    Thanks for your wishes. I am sorry in posting this delayed response. Actually I am praising the divinity in guru in the belief that it may lead to exploring the 'Divinity within myself. As per the advaitha philosophy God is there everywhere, but to realise the God within we seek the help of Guru. I can cite an example here. We know that cow's milk is there all over its body and in fact it is said that cow's blood is converted into milk and since the blood runs all over the body we cannot tap anywhere in its body to get the milk. Also, to get milk we need special milkmen who are experienced in milking the cow. Guru is like a milkman who make us realise the divinity within. This is my limited knowledge and I will see in Saivahini what Bhagawan says about Guru.

    Regards,

    TDU

    Dear TDU,

    It is great.... My day has been made....... I never thought you to be spiritualistic and so much involved...... It is my mistake........

    Swami Haridas Giri made a revolution in the Sampradhaya Bhajans. He used to rent the Nardhagana Sabha for every sunday and have his Bhajans..... His voice penetrates into you and makes u feel ......... I dont know how to express..... My friends BIL was the armoniumist for him, who introduced us to the sampradhay Bhajan.

    But I dont know about his otherside as a Swamiji.....

    Going through all the bhajans etc......... flash back........ to my (G)olden days with my Guruji who was an ardent desciple of Seshadri Swamigal....

    Thanks a ton...... I am feeling happy after seeing all the bajan lyrics written there....

    Dear Veda,

    It is great to see another desciple of Guruji in this forum. First of all let me clear about 'Swamiji'. Swamiji is Swami Gyananda Giri swamikal who was the guru of Swami Haridos Swamikal. It is Swami. Gyanananda Swamikal who established Thapovan at Thirukoiloor near Thiruvannamalai. Haridos Giri Swamikal's father Annaji who was a bhagavathar singing sampradhaya bhajans brought his son Haridos giri Swamikal to thapovan and in due course Swami haridos Giri got dheekshai and became Swami Haridos Giri. There is a legend and I have seen the photograph also that Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba had made a visit to thapovan and met Gyananda Swamikal.

    I did not have the fortune of listening to Haridos Giri Swamikals' bhajans live at Narada Ganan Sabha. But, I have seen his bhajans there through CDs. His Radha Kalyanam is special. His description of all the rivers who come to attend the marriage has been told by Haridos Giri Swamikal so nicely and with lots of humour. Similarly, his rendering of Krishna Leelaikal ending with 'Illai, illai ilaai amma avarkal solvathellam poi illai in double meaning will make the hall reverberating with laughter.

    Regards,

    TDU
