Sairam friends,
Happy Navratri!
Hope you take time to remember Sai and Goddess Durga , Mahalakshmi and Saraswati during this divine Navratri. Remembrance is enough. The kind mother will take care of you. We have kept Gollu in our home. My Mom is doing pooja every evening inviting some of our neighbors. I am not doing much to help her though. The past few days I have been making videos for Shirdi Saibaba and its has always been expression of my own life and my love for Saibaba. I was desperately looking for someone who sings Sai bhajans beautifully because Sai himself likes singing in praise of God and Goddess.
Yesterday, Padma aunt sent me a video of her daughter singing in praise of Goddess Sharadamba. I loved it so much and wanted to make a video with it. I felt its so blissful to listen to Aishwarya and wanted all of you to enjoy this simple song in praise of Goddess Sharadamba. ( She’s pronounced as “Saradambal” in Tamil)
I believe, Saibaba felt that I am ignorant and wanted to open my heart and eyes. Hence he made me listen to this song. The photos of Goddess Sharadambal in this video is used with courtesy. Hope you like it…
Goddess Sharadamba Song
Did you feel blissful?
Thanks to Aishwarya for making me feel really peaceful at heart.
We are pleading the Goddess to remove our ignorance and bless us with wisdom. Most of the time, we are caught by our desires that we take wrong decisions. We become blind due to our own desires. Hence, Goddess Sharadamba shows us a way.
You too can record your song and send if you believe you have a good voice. Mail me for instructions on how to record without noise. But I may not have time to make videos..Atleast I will be happy to listen to you.
Sai dream
I had couple of dreams on Sunday.
Its like this…
I see one of the girl I know with school uniform with viboothi on her forehead as if she’s getting into her home after worshiping in a near by temple. I can’t even recognize this girl and go out in the a beautiful village road searching for her. I was disappointed that I could not find her. It was as if I am in my Mom’s village and very scenic. I remove my office tag looking at the evening sun set.
After I woke up, I told Saibaba that I know what he means but really getting confused. Now a days, Saibaba is not telling me anything clearly. Fine Sai. Just be with me so that we shall finish this off gracefully. Later, I went to Saibaba temple, sat in the main hall and read Sai Satcharita.
Be careful when you tease girls
Today, one of this girl at work was in Saree and I wanted to tease her. I told this to her that I am not getting the right idea to make fun of her. After sometime, I felt why I am doing this? May be, I am ignorant. They may not like the way I tease and not all will take it easily as I say what ever I wish in the name of joke. Already my life is like this and what if some girl curses me? I get this fear oftentimes when ever I tease girls though I know them well. This is a problem in trying to make fun with our friends. If our time isn’t good, they might get hurt and react. So I kept calm today.
Oh…I wasn’t completely calm. I showed a link about the new Internet of Things product for “Sleep Technology” – IoT Beds to another girl. I went near her and said “I am selling this. Please buy this. You can sleep peacefully as it has IoT enabled Air conditioner and will send cold air and warm air as required directly into the bed.” I irritated her so much about its features that one of my friend asked me not to do it. She replied that she will get sleep if she opens a Physics book and don’t need such products. he he..
Later, I told her that I am testing human reaction to the IoT world we are building.
There’s so much love around me for which I hardly thank Sai
I just don’t know why I often see office tag? Should I be here or get out of this place? If I should not be here, what will I do? I wish to be in Coimbatore because my parents need me. This weekend, when I spoke to my sister’s daughter Katya, I felt really like hugging her and taking her places. I was having Dosa and she asked me to feed it to her. As I took my palm with a piece of Dosa near the camera, she opened her mouth and acted as if she’s having it. Call is Love on Skype? She doesn’t know Tamil but I am happy that she has that love on us which matters a lot.
If I ignore this period without meeting her, then, I will never be able to make her understand that we all love her so much. Once she’s grown up, she won’t have much time to think about us. Neither she can come to India nor I can go to the U.S.
Few days back, I made a video in which I said, that I light 3 lamps everyday – One for my Mom, Dad and myself. Honestly, when ever I light lamps, my heart only prays for my Sister and her family. Especially Katya. Though they don’t have time to pray Sai, I know Saibaba is taking care of them.
Today, I got cold which is really irritating me. While walking down the steps during lunch, I was thinking if I should go to Shirdi and stay there for a month with my parents. Practically not possible but it was a thought which made me feel blissful. During Sai’s life time, some close devotees used to stay in Shirdi for such long periods. Saibaba won’t even give them permission to go back home even if they don’t have money to survive in Shirdi. Sai will make sure he will retain them in Shirdi as long as their time to move comes. May be, Sai is trying to help them get out of unnecessary problems.
Once again
Happy Navratri friends.
Remember her. The Mother Goddess Sharada!
You know, Like how I was asking my friend about Sathya Narayana that I don’t know about him, I was also asking my friends about Goddess Sharada. I assume that I am religious and had been to Sharadambal temple in Coimbatore too but seems I don’t know about her. I know Adi Shankara worshiped her dearly. She’s a form of Amman – Parvathi. That’s it. Being Hindu, we must know about our Gods and Goddess. Atleast some stories about them. Saibaba has encouraged all his devotees to follow their tradition.
So celebrate Navratri remembering Goddess Durga and learn little about the Goddess you love.
I can’t believe I had wrote about these Goddess in the past several years. How much I was devoted? Its all in my heart. I am just not able to express it since I am going through some worries these days.
Sri Andal Thiruppavai
This year, the new statue we bought was Sri Andal. I choose her thinking its Meenakshi Amman. Only after I kept her in home, I realized she’s Andal. So sweet Andal came to our home by her own trick. I have the green parrot in my pooja place given by my friend 3 years back from Sri Villiputhur. How beautiful is Thirupaavai. I am not reciting it now a days. Andal seems ask “Did you forgot me?”. Will I dear?
Goddess Bhuvaneswari
They had made Goddess Bhuvaneswari at work place Gollu and I remembered one of my Sai friend lit 108 lamps and sent me photos.
Goddess Padmavathi
How much I enjoy doing Kumkum Archana to Goddess Mahalakshmi in my home? I am not doing it now a days as my parents might feel that I am always into doing some religious stuff. I stopped doing all these extra curricular activities now a days. I just offer Kumkum in Saibaba temple.
Lalithambigai has a soft smile that illuminates her face
Lalithambigai makes me remember the days I used to read Lalitha Sahasranamam
Kolhapur Mahalakshmi
My long time dream is to visit Kolhapur and I never know when that graceful Mahalakshmi would call me?
Sri Durga
Remember the days I used to be very dear to Goddess Durga.
Shri Vidya
An article I wrote about Goddess Lalithambigai and Shri Vidya based on a dream I was blessed with
