Shri Madhva Navami : 15th February 2008

Namaskara Madhwa Bandhugale!

Madhwa Navami Shubashyagalu!! It gives me immense pleasure in letting you all know that Shri Madhwa Navami @ Kondapur Krishna Mutt, was a very huge success [please find the photographs below]. I heard from the mutt authorities that it was second highest gathering for any large program apart from Rayara Aaradhane. This event was a jointly organized by ITMS and Kondapur Krishna Mutt. All the programs went off as schedules, thanks to Shri Hari Vayu Gurugalu.

The program started in the morning at 6:15 AM with Shri Vayusthuthi Punarascharne along with "Madhu Abhishekaha" to the installed Mukhyaprana Vigraha. After the Mangalaarathi, Pt. Shri Vedeshachar conducted Shri Pavanmaana Homa with a great pledge and the program went off very well. The homa lasted for well over three hours. We had quite a few people attending from BHEL and Madhapur areas.

Teertha Prasada followed, which was savored by all. During the evening session, starting at 4:30 PM we had a 2-1/2 hr discourse on Sri Su-mAdhwa Vijaya and Sarva moola grantha. By Pt. Sri Sukeshachar Jallihal.

As announced earlier we give away Rs 30,000 /- to Sainikpuri Vidhyapeetha as part of our Vidhyarthi Vetana Karyakrama (VVK). Pt. Sri Sukeshachar J gave away the Cheque to Sri Sudheendra Das [ITMS Director - Sainikpuri], who in turn has handed over the amount to Shri Poorna Bodha Vidhyapeeta.

Then Parimala Bhajane Mandali from BHEL offered their Sangeeta Seva to Srimad Ananthatheertharu. The last event was Pallaki seva for Shri Vayudevaru.

On behalf Of ITMS we sincerely thank Sri Vasanth Kumar Avru {kondapur mutt}, The Great Donors of VVK (Vidhyarthi Vethana Karyakrama), Pt. Sri VedeshAchar & Pt. Sri Sukeshachar J, ITMS members, People present there and Shri Gopinath and his Bhajana Mandali for making this event roaring success and an unforgettable experience!

This event was followed by Shri Murugoda Krishna Dasaru being honored for his contributions to dasa sahitya and nurturing several dasaru of this generation. KSM and ITMS honored Shri Dasaru with a citation, garland and shawl. Shri Dasaru then gave his Anugraha Sandesha.

As you are all already aware, ITMS & KSM had conducted several competitions across Hyderabad as a part of Purandara Dasara Aaradhane. About 41 children had won prizes across Hyderabad. They were all handed a certificate of honor by Shri Murugoda Dasaru.

Finally the stage was handed over to Shri Seshagiri Dasaru, which immersed all in the mode of Hari Bhakthi for a good 2 hours.

NGY: Varaha Avataara at Vanasatalipuram

23rd December 2007 was one more milestone for ITMS at Vanasatalipuram, where itorganized it Nirantara Gnana Yagna (NGY) with the Shri Varaha Avatara Pravachane by Pt. Shri Nagendrachar. The program was well received and had a participation of close to 40 people from in and around Vanasatalipuram. Pt. Shri Nagendrachar delivered his pravachana in usual exemplary style giving the Hari Bhaktas a good overview of Shri Varaha Avatara. Some of the important aspects that Shri Pt. Nagedrachar covered included his explanation of Adi Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasha (born to Kashyaparishi and Dithi) and how they were razed to protect the bhu (earth) from going into paatala samudra. He also reiterated the fact that Havis and Homa articles originated from Shri Varaha devaru and that donating 3 types of yeLLu (sesame seeds, red, white & black) is extremely beneficial in warding off evils and ill effects.

Overall it was extremely beneficial program for the attendees and Shri Satyaranarayana, the Manager of the mutt promised all possible support for Vanastalipuram going forward and ensured that he will completely support all our programs there.

NGY: Kurmavatara at Malkajgiri - 8th & 9th December 2007

With the Grace of Sri Hari, Vayu and GurugaLu, NGY Kurmavatara pravachana program last weekend at Malkajgiri was successfully completed.

Place : Malkajgiri Sri Uttaradi Matha
Topic : Kurma Avatara
Pravachana By : Pt. Sri Chittaguppa Padmanabhacharya
Start Time : 6:30 PM
End Time : 7:45 PM
Total Audience : ~40 on 8/12, ~40 on 9/12

The Acharya spoke about

1. Kurmavatara of the Lord, the circumstances for the same, and that this avatara is one of the three directly responsible for the gods receiving "Amruta" from the milk ocean; the other two being Dhanvantari and Mohini. Kurmavatara happens only during the Raivata(5th) and Vaivasvata(7th) manvantaras of every Kalpa.

2. The meaning of the word kUrma - One who removes the bad waves of Samsara.

3. The KurmapurANa being the 15th of the 18 MahapurANa-s. Specific prameyas for which SrimadAcharya quotes this purANa as reference. One of them being the 5 dinakalpa-s during which Sri Hari Himself takes up the post of Vedavyasa.

4. Upadesha of Kurma rupi paramAtma to King Indradyumna about dharma and AchAra that one needs to follow as a Brahmin. and other related topics.

The Acharya also spoke about Sri PadmanabhatIrtharu whose Aradhana was on Saturday (8th Dec 2007) and Sri Mahipati dasaru who Aradhana was on Sunday (9th Dec 2007).

Kurma & Matsya Avataara at Lingampally Rayara Mutt

We were waiting for the things to kick off in the main Madhwa center of the City "Lingampally". The wait is finally over and we had successfull pravachana of the 1st and 2nd phase of NGY i.e., Sri Matsya 'ka' & Krurma rupa 'ka' Avataras of HIM.



Pt. Nagendra Prasad Achar (above) as fluent as ever with his trade mark style delivered a wonder full discourse about both the avtaras in very stringent time conditions. We did have some objections or should i say remarks of having each avatara for two days and why are we hurrying up in lingampally.

What we learnt: In brief Matsya(Madah-tsyah) avatara means The One who incarnated to finish/end ego...."Madha vannu nashana(tsyah) madavanu" Kurma(Ku-urm-aha) avatara signifies The One who incarnated to kill or end the bad waves (waves in the sense bad thoughts and all...) "Ku(bad) urm(waves) vannu savaha(end) madavanu" There was a decent audience, as expected senior citizens were out numbering!
