  • 5. Tattva Nirnayam V1
    NamperumAL - SrI Rangam ïI> Editor's Foreward (for the eBook edition) YŒZ (PARA) TATTHVA NIRNAYAM This is a Sri Sookthi bequeathed to us by SrI Vatsya VaradacchArya (1165- 1275 C.E) of Kanchi revered as NadadUr AmmAL. He was born at NadadUr, a village near Kaanchi. He acquired the name of AmmAL from Lord VaradarAjan for his tender and devout Milk Kaimkaryam to the Lord. He served the Lord the milk naivEdhyam at a temperature, which was neither too hot nor cold and that made Lord VaradarAja wonder: "Is this my Mother, who takes such tender care of Me?" The name stayed thus as the AmmAL of the Lord from NadAdUr. NadAdUr AmmAL is the AchAryan of both Sudarsana Bhattar (the Author of Srutha PrakAsika) and AtrEya RamAnuja (the maternal uncle of Swamy Desikan). He met Swamy Desikan at the tender age of five at Lord VaradarAjA's temple PrAkAram during his KaalakshEpam and was wonder struck at the tEjas of the young boy, who had accompanied his uncle to the Temple. NadAdur AmmAL saw a great future for the young boy as the leading sampradhAya Pravarthakar of Bhagavad RaamAnuja darsanam. AmmAL offered his benedictions to the boy and asked his Sishyan, AtrEya Ramanuja to provide instructions to his nephew and grow him to become one of the greatest AchAryan. The year was 1273 C.E and NadadUr AmmAl was 108 years old. AmmAL wanted very much to train the young boy himself but recognized that he was too old and therefore asked his sishyan, AtrEya Ramanuja to accept that important responsibility.

I was chanting there for three hours with a small mådaìga (drum), and these American boys assembled and gradually joined, and so it is increasing.... We are attracting many students simply by chanting, and they are understanding the entire philosophy and becoming purified. This Society’s movement started only four years ago, in 1966, and we have so many branches already. The American boys and girls are taking it very seriously, and they are happy. Ask any one of them.

    Aarsha Vani (Voice of Sanatana Dharma) April 2019 Volume: 5 Issue: 03 GURUVĀṆI Every individual has four mothers – 1. One who gave birth 2. Mother Earth 3. Mother Cow and 4. Motherland. It is the duty and responsibility of everyone to venerate, comfort, and protect all these four mothers. Among this, Gōmāta i.e. Mother Cow is being looked and treated from a religion view. But, it is important to understand that Gōmāta is the wealth and heritage of this country. No other cow in the world has the special and distinct characteristics of the cows of Bhārata. Hence, every individual, just as they receive benefits from cows, should exert themselves to protect the cows, irrespective of their religious affinity. – Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma.

  • Śrī Guru-Tattva and the Secret of Dīkṣā
    Śrī Guru-Tattva and the Secret of Dīkṣā (By: Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda) (On the morning of Wednesday, August 8th 1934, Sriyukta Rajendranath Pal Chaudhuri Mahasaya, the famous zamindar of Louhajang, came to Sri Gaudiya Matha accompanied by one of his employees. Offering his humble dandavats at the lotus feet of Sri Srila Bhak- tisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada, he expressed his desire to hear some words on Sri Guru-tattva and the secret of diksa etc. Srila Prabhupada obligingly gave a valuable discourse for two hours. Some brief excerpts from that talk are presented below. It has only been possible for us to publish this priceless gem by the help of Upadesaka Pandita Sri- pada Pranavananda Pratnavidyalankara Mahadaya. Thus, we convey our sincere grati- tude at his feet – Nishikanta Sanyal) Rajen Babu – Is it necessary for me to take diksa again if I have already ta-ken diksa from a kula-guru (hereditary family guru)? He does not eat fish or meat; he studies the Bhagavatam, is the son of a Gosvami and is a householder. Prabhupada – Bhaktisiddhanta: asat-saṅga-tyāga, – ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra ‘strī-saṅgī’ – eka asādhu, ‘kṛṣṇābhakta’ āra To discard the company of those who diminish one’s resolve in krsna-bhakti (asat- sanga) is truly the natural conduct of a Vaisnava. And the most detrimental asso- ciation of all is those who enjoy the company of women and the non-devotees. (Cc. Madhya. 22.087) These two types of non-devotees can never become spiritual masters. They are not devotees of Krsna. kibā vipra, kibā nyāsī, śūdra kene naya yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā, sei ’guru’ haya Whether one is a brahmana, a sannyasi, a sudra or whatever, if he is fully conver- sant with the science of Krsna, he is eligible to become a guru.

    Aarsha Vani (Voice of Sanatana Dharma) January 2021 Volume: 6 Issue: 12 GURUVĀṆI Following Dharma always is not an easy path. If so, everyone would have done that very easily. Therefore, those who follow Dharma should be ready to face hardships, insult, and at times depression too. One should use such times to intensify one’s sādhana with tapas, while still strictly adhering to Dharma with grit, patience, and above all absolute confidence in the judgement and grace of the Supreme Lord. Without any doubt, one shall not only attain thunderous victory and success in all the endeavors, but also shall become role models for many ages to come. – Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma.
