paasuram – 7 Thiruppaavai
Dear all.
namaste.
Listening is very important in form of learning. only by listening we can learn, Andal asks other Gopis whether they listened to the sounds of Birds and conch and the name of the Lord Hari Sri Krishna.
Sravanabhakthi is very important. when birds chirping of the birds inform us that it is dawn come on wake up wake up… then to make this waking state clearer, conch sound comes with the nada of Omkara. then comes the name of the Lord of Lords Hari Himself. Actually the sounds of birds and conch takes the form of Sri Haris name..

namaste all
Whatever we do, we must offer those actions and its result to Sri Krishna.
Gopikas think that if anything goes wrong in their vrata, then what will happen, but when we utter the name of God, God pleases immediately and bless us with His Grace.
The First five hymn form the special first phase of the ritual.
- they elucidate that the aim of the ritual is union with the Lord of Lords Sri Krishna. the goal and aim is Sri Krishna Himself and the means to reach Him is also Sri Krishna Himself.
- how the participants have to adhere to the principles prescribed by scriptures, tradition and by elders, they have to observe certain restraints in food, speech and conduct.
- this vrata and ritual is not of selfish result and yield. it is for the benefit of the entire universe.
- invocation the God as Lord of clouds to shower good rain for healthy life of entire universe.
- we believe that all our sins will be eradicated when the utter the name of God Sri Krishna whole heartedly ..
Aazhi mazhikkanna – Thiruppaavai 4
The cloud drinks the salt waters of the sea yet gives us back sweet waters to the world to drink. All the Gurus will take all the aspects of Veda, Vedantha, Upanishads and sastra.. but they will teach us only what is required for us in the simple and practicable manner.
ஆழிமழைக்கண்ணா ஒன்றுநீ கைகரவேல்
ஆழியுட்புக்கு முகந்து கொடார்த்தேறி
ஊழி முதல்வனுருவம்போல் மெய்கறுத்துப்
பாழியந் தோளுடைப் பற்பநாபன் கையில்
ஆழிபோல் மின்னிவலம்புரிபோல் நின்றதிர்ந்து
தாழாதே சார்ங்க முதைத்த சரமழைபோல்
வாழ உலகினில் பெய்திடாய் நாங்களும்
மார்கழி நீராட மகிழ்ந்தேலோர் எம்பாவாய்!
– ஆண்டாள்
The Gopikas say that O cloud, assume the share that resembles the form of the Cause of Time and of all other things in the world.
Make your body as dark as the form of the Supreme Brahma tattva that has brought Time into existence. Be steady and thunder like the Conch..
The main purpose is to attain the bliss of union with Sri Krishna… and this is to be attained not in isolation, each by herself and also by the company, all together.. we pray that the preceptors may shower their grace on them and bring about their union with the Lord Sri Krishna.

Importance of rain and cow – the fruit of vratha
The main objective of this Thiruppavai vratha is union with Sri Krishna. our objective for any vratha will tell us who we are that is if the aim is for heaven then we like pleasure. if the aim is to attain the Lord Sri Krishna then we become parabrahmam.
First we sing the glory of Sri Narayana…
second we sing the glory of paraman ….adi padi
now we sing the glory of uttaman per padi…
God of Gods Sri Krishna begged Mahabali for the sake of His devotee Indra.. begging got purity by His act. His Growth is not to take away the wealth and Punya of Mahabali it is to protect him. Lord Sri Krishna stands as watchman in the gates of Mahabali..
if we sing the glory of Lord and humans observe all important vrathas by kaya, vacha and manasa, then there will be rainfall without fail and there will not be any overflow of water, the crops will be free from pests.
it is said that the rainfall depends upon the nature and character of Brahmins those who treat all equal and see Brahman in all jeevas, Kings who rule the country without any personal attachment and women whose chastity will bring rain in time and of course of right quantity.
Cows give milk to Sri Krishna and Krishna plays flute for the cows to give milk..
without rain the world cannot survive.. cow is God.. Vrathas bring fortune to the place where these ladies of high vratha lives.
Om Sri Narayanaya namaha..Om Sri Krishnaya Namaha.
Om Sri Gopi Vallabhaya namaha..
Margazhi -1
Dear Friends,
namaste.
Here the month of margazhi has come. These days are very auspicious. full moon light.. enjoy the beauty. moon like faced ones common on. start now. sing in praise of Sri Krishna… Dear girls you live comfortably here with the thinking of Sri Narayana and you are all wearing all beautiful ornaments which adds beauty to your natural beauty.
First we have to sing the praise of time.. kala.. kal which is more powerful than anything. In the Bhagavat Gita Sri Krishna declares that among the moths He Himself is Margazhi.. it is brahma muhurtha and dawn is the time of and the primary tendency of sattva or purity to enjoy the Atman, the pure God-consciousness.
Margazhi is called Margasirsa.. marga means a way, sirsa means to attain God..God is attained through karmayoga ie action without expecting reward (nirkamakarma), Jananayoga ie realisation of self and bhaktiyoga devotion to God. But i tell you none of these ways can bring the God closer to us. In fact, God along should come close to us. Margasirsa insists us to have faith that God alone is the means to attain God.
listen the glory of Sri Krishna..
i am going to narrate about Sri Krishna, Sri Krishna is the son of Nandagopa, who loves his son ever keeps alert .. Sri Krishnas mother is Yasodha whose bhakti is not understood by great sages like Narada, her lion cub son is Sri Krishna.
now let us enjoy the beauty of Sri Krishna son of Yasodha and Nandagopa. Sri Krishna ‘s body is like the dark of dark cloud, His eyes bright as red lotua petals, His face radiating divine charm, who is none but Narayana Himself.
His work is to give us what we needed, whatever we have it is HIS PRASAD. He is the giver and fulfillers of all our wishes.
Suitable time to do ritual….
by whom the ritual to be sone..
what should they do..
what they should obtain as the fruit of this ritual…
Now we need to do Durga pooja for which we need the ancient musical instrument parai and we will request Sri Krishna, giver of anything to His pure devotees…
Parai is a drum, played by hands, keeping near the heart and by singing and dancing.
it is an important instrument for this ritual, which is the means of highest end.
Parai signifies the three important activities of the mind, tongue and body.
parai is kept near the heart. We sing and dance which playing the parai.
Bath is merging with Sri Krishna because all the jeevathmas are river and Sri Krishna is the Ocean..
Sri Krishna is Nadhi , river we are all drops of water.. Sri Krishna is water we must purify ourselves by uttering the name of Sri Krishna always.
All of you join now to take holy bath and will do Durga Pooja to attain the LORD OF LORDS SRI KRISHNA..
OM SRI KRISHNAYA NAMAHA..
