Divine Discourse on Lord Shree Raam

I am typing this post a minute after electric power cut as I am viewing a divine discourse by respected Morari Bapuji on Lord Shree Raam from Harvard University Campus in the US.

It was a pleasure to see my favourite spiritual speakers such as Bhupendrabhai Pandyaji among the audience.

(As in Chennai, these power cuts remain to be frequent. However essential requirements such as ceiling fans are fulfilled as each of our houses has an inverter. I'm grateful to Shree Mahaa Vishnu that power has returned now after a brief period of absence).

Jai Shree Seethaa Raam🙏

  

Role of technology in preserving traditions

We live in world that is changing due to changes in technology that affect individuals as well as communities.

In countries such as Bhaarath (India), communities strive to preserve old traditions by adapting improvements in technology. 

For instance, religiuos discourses used to be given by Gurus, and the teacher versus taught interaction used to be largely oral and written since ancient times until a few decades ago. 

Now these are replaced to a significant extent by computer and mobile based technologies, particularly after the Internet came into being. Today it is abnormal to find even spiritual programs without using computers and IT backed social media. It is an obvious fact that it is not easy to preserve our old tradions without embracing today's technology. 

Unless technology is in bad people's hands, it can be used amazingly effectively, as we see in Sanaathana Dharmaa Organisations today.

Maadhwaa Saint

Today is an auspicious day in the Maadhwaa calender. It is the anniversary of the day on which Shree Appavaru attained the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna.

Today is a very important day to all citizens of Bhaarath (India), our beloved mother land. It was in 15 August 1947 that our great country got independence from British rule. Google doodle has aptly honored our Independence Day.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fest

From 8 August to 26 September, Shree Satyatma Theertha Swaamiji, our respected Chief Pontiff of our Uttaradi Mutt will grace Dharvaad, Karnaatakaa, by his presence and perform Chaathurmaasya Vratham. I fondly remember my visit to Dhaarvaad on work when I was working in Macmillan India Limited. I remember Shree Sathyanaaraayana, journalist, who took me to a FMCG Fair in the town. I think that he also took me to a Shree Raam Temple in the town. I remember my visit to Shree Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Bellaary, a nearby town, and my visit to Shree Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Manthraalayam.

Shree Raam Temple

A few days ago I had to visit our Maadhwaa Mutt at Kumbakonam to meet the Managing Priest to speak to him that I shifted my residence to the town recently and about how to conduct shraardha ceremony of my parents and brother in the Mutt. After my meeting, I had the joy of visiting the devine Shree Raamanaatha Swaami Temple in town. It was a highly spiritually enriching experience. I write this not because I like to announce my visits to the Mutt and the Temple; I write this to make Lord Shree Mahaa Vishnu happy in my humble manner.

L to R: Lord Lakshman, Shree Hanumaanjee, Lord Shree Raam and His wife Shree Seethaa Devi 

Jai Shree Raam🙏
