Happy Pongal 2012

The festive season comes bustling with the nature giving its best. Warmth of the Sun shine, splendor of the blooming flowers a bountiful harvest no doubt brings celebration. Although known by different names like, Pongal, Makar Sankranti and Lohiri, these harvest festivals are a mark of gratitude for the abundance and Prosperity bestowed by Mother Nature. This is the time to honor the cow and cattle a grateful gesture for the untiring service they render to mankind. We all know that there is no Sunday for Sun God who transcends time and also the one who rotates the Wheel of Time and the harvest festival is the time to gratefully remember “Aditya - the Pratyakasha Devata” for his glorious divinity that blesses one and all tirelessly. The Lord Indra for the timely rains without which no vegetation is possible is also remembered with gratitude.


"Pongal is here, an occasion that marks joy and cheer, and brings along everything that's best. May the festival of the harvest season, be one that brings along with it, all that's best and everything you're so deserving of. Have a memorable Pongal."

Bhagavad Gita

True devotion is beyond language

This song was written by Shri.Prabakaran Sir and set to music and sung by Shri.Suresh Chandranji on 20.02.2002 and was sung at Dr.Arun Madhavanji's Satsang. After a long time I met Shri. Prabakaran Sir and this prompted me to present this video clipping. The depth of his devotion with which he has written the lyrics is amazing.The person sitting behind Shri. Sureshji with spectacles is Shri.Prabakaran Sir.

My pranaams to you Prabakaran Sir. Jaigurudev..
