Om Shanti ! "jantunam narajanma durlabham" (Adisankaracharya). This very human birth is the ultimate in the sense that one has a chance to become aware of the whole creation, all-pervading divinity, understanding the universal 'I' breaking the barriers of self and identifying oneself with super-consciousness that manifests in the universe and beyond ; And all this made possible by the divine gifts namely, Intellect and Wisdom.
Today, i.e., on 15.08.2015, I have taken a decision to share, with like-minded seekers, whatever little divine knowledge I have been gaining, though step by step, for the past few years. In due course, I will be posting 'Incidents revealing Divine presence'. The write-ups are entitled 'Paramatmuni leelalu" in Telugu; short spiritual stories gathered from different sources for many years, a few oil paintings done by me, who never held brush before -with brief explanation wherever necessary. Coming to know that Annamacharya keertanas are all about the spiritual knowledge(brahma jnaana), I have collected upto one thousand seven hundred plus kritis (songs) and sung for myself to my satisfaction. In coming sessions, I share with you some of the beautiful tatvajnana (spiritual wisdom) based keertanas of Annamayya.
A little introduction of how all it began may be necessary to acknowledge by the readers how
some turning points in our daily life bring about sea-change towards realisation. In my case the turning point came in August 2009. Unable to bear with overweight problem, I sought a friend's advice who introduced me to a Yoga master imparting freely in a nearby park. Lo, what a surprising discovery in my life ! lofty and magnificent trees with cool breeze , pleasant atmosphere, and lush green lawns serving the sage like yogacharya and his practitioners. Surprisingly, I lost eighteen kilos within just two months of joining. The way of yoga taught is extraordinary, for the guru dwells on entirely Bhakti(Devotion) and Jnana(spiritual wisdom) revelations, throughout one and a half hour sadhana, starting off with explanation of the importance of OM the pranava nada(Primordial Sound).
The creativity in me awakened, in the lap of Mother Nature, extempore praising the spiritual mentor,Yogacharya, in the following lines in freelance, though I never tried poetry ever before..
IN THE LAP OF MOTHER NATURE
You shall think of me as one
Who did treat you second to none,
For how much bliss God gave me
By divine yoga you taught me !
The day starts with chanting Om
I part you with heavy bosom,
Ninety minutes of precious stay
Keeps me joyous rest of day !
When vibrations are in my palm
The word 'Relax' makes me calm,
The Asanas make my body tuning
And health too gets perfect grooming !
I perceive by your yoga kind
Disease-free body, stress-free mind,
'Raise yourself, Praise yourself'' you teach
Shall be the goal for me to reach !
My soul is full of rapture
When in lap of Mother Nature,
I pray God for your noble 'deed'
A Happy and Prosperous Life to lead !
