Sooryan is recognized to be uccham (ascendant) in mEsha rAsi; Chandran in Vrushabha rAsi.

He stayed with us most of that evening. I videotaped the whole scene. Churchill, Pola (2007-11-14).

  • Greatness of Nama What Is Nama? "Nama" Means Name. the Word
    Greatness of Nama What is Nama? "Nama" means Name. The word name has evolved from the Sanskrit word "Nama". Nama or name refers to the name of a person, place or thing. Without a name, unique identification of entities in the world is not possible and without identification communication is not possible and without communication nothing is possible in this world. The whole world will come to stand still. So is the importance of the Name. When you call a person by his name, immediately he responds by some means. When human beings respond to a call by his/her name, what will happen when you call God by his name? God the loving mother of all creatures (Movable or immovable) will definitely respond to your call. In fact He is waiting for your call… But we never call Him. How do we make our call reach him? God exists in two forms. 1. Saguna – With name and form (Bhagwan) 2. Nirguna – Nameless and formless (Bhrama Swaroopam) The nirguna bhramam being nameless and formless in nature, worshipping or loving the nirguna bhramam is not possible. We humans, beings the highest creation of God cannot do it, no need to mention about other creatures. So, the nirguna bhramam due to its endless love and mercy entered into a stage where in it have numerous forms with numerous names. At this level it is called as Saguna bhramam or Bhagwan. Bhagwan can be loved and worshipped. Bhagwan has numerous names, he can be called upon by any names and he can be worshipped in any forms.

  • 24. Glorify the Lord's Name
    24. Glorify the Lord's Name EMBODIMENTS of Love! Only when we realise the preciousness of the diamond will we take care to safeguard it. Likewise only when we are aware of the value of chanting the Lord's name will we make the effort to practise it and benefit from it. Devotees recite or sing the names of the Lord in two ways. One is Keerthanam and the other is Sankeerthanam. Keerthanam is done individually and benefits only the devotee concerned.' Sankeerthanam is done collectively for the good of the world as a whole. Keerthanam is of various kinds. First is Guna Keerthana---praising the qualities and attributes of God through song. Second is Bhava Keerthana---expressing the inner feelings and emotions of the devotee. Reflecting the feelings of peace, companionship, yearning, filial love or sweetness experienced by the devotee, these songs give vent to the emotional outpouring of the devotee. The third is Leela Sankeerthanam--praising in song the sports and divine play of the Lord. This is done through singing the Ashtapadi (of Jayadeva) or describing the sports and miraculous deeds of the Lord. The rasa krida is also in this category. The fourth is Nama Sankeerthanam--- singing the names of the Lord. This is the most efficacious of all forms of devotional singing. But in actual practice the devotees derive joy from singing all types of devotional songs. Special significance of Nama Sankeerthana What is the special significance of Nama Sankeethana---singing the names of the Lord? "Nama" is made up of three letters: "Na" "aa", "ma".

  • 1. the Love of God
    1. The Love of God One may be a master of all the Scriptures And competent to teach the Vedanta; One may be a great ruler Living in a many-splendoured mansion; One may be a valiant hero Who has vanquished his enemies; Or one may be a pitiable Victim of poverty and privation. If he has no devotion in him His life is devoid of meaning. A servant who is filled with love of the Lord Is more to be adored than the overlord of the world. "BHAKTI is service to Hrishikesa," it has been said. Service to God has been described as Bhakti. The heart of the devotee flows with love of the Lord through constant remembrance and recitation of His name. Out of this stream of love, devotion emerges. One who is nourished by the nectar of Bhakti will have no desire for anything else. To be unaffected by joy or sorrow, gain or loss, praise or blame, to remain steadfast and unwavering in faith, is the hall-mark of true devotion. Affection, attachment, desire are natural qualities in man. When these qualities are directed towards God and when one is continuously engaged in good deeds, these qualities acquire purity and sacredness. Then a man becomes not only a great soul but can become divine. State of mind of a devotee The devotee is ever conscious that the universe is a manifestation of the Divine and is permeated by the Divine. His life is based on the recognition of the immanence of God in everything. This state of mind is called "Prema Advaitam" (unity in Love.) Through this love the devotee experiences his oneness with the Divine.
