Dear All, By the grace of Gurumaharaj, Bhagavan Sri Krishna and Sri Madhurya Sakthi, Bhajanothsava Deepa Pradakshinam lead by Sri A.R.Natarajan Mama will be conducted this Saturday-October 26th from 4pm onwards. It is a very auspicious event and this is happening purely by the grace of the Lord on all of us. Our pattu Krishnan wants to dance with us all on that day!! Brief description about Deepa Pradakshinam : The Deepa Pradakshinam was introduced first by Bhadrachala Raamadaas. In the words of Bhaghavan, Daasa Charanu portion of the Paddhathi When bhakthaas as a group in unity & Bhakthi sings in praise of me and dances around a Deepam kept in the center, which is adorned with flame, it amounts to coming round the earth and they are rewarded with punya equal to the punya gained by those going around the earth. The Lord is promising this adding Dont doubt about this. (By going round the earth we come across many temples & punya kshethras and get the opportunity to have a darshan of great Mahaathmaas and thus gain punya. This is called Kshethraadanam). ------------------------------------------------------------ While in Sampradhaya Bhajan, Bhagavathaas sit and sing the bhajan , in Deepa Pradakshinam, there is also an additional element, where Bhakthaas dance (Nrithya) and enact the leelaas of the Lord (Abhinaya) around the lit Brass lamp (five faceted). In the present day situations, Deepa Pradakshinam is performed on Saturdays, special occasions like Saturdays of Purattasi month, Gokulashtami, Ramanavami etc. The Lord from Sanctum is brought to the lamp in the form of Jyothi (by Aavaahana Manthram). We do Deepa Pooja and place the lamp in the center of the hall and sing in praise of Him. Bhakthaas, along with the songs, enact the leelaas of God by dancing around the Pancha Mukha Deepam (placed in the center of the hall), in tune with the meaning of the song. It is also necessary to precede special Bhajan with Paddhathi Bhajan, which is the basic Paddhathi for all other systems. DEEPA PRADAKSHINAM, compared to Paddhathi Bhajan, gives more chance for participation by one and all either in singing, dancing, abhinaya etc. , wherein we forget ourselves and feel the presence of the Lord amongst us and prepares us to have Samabhaavana as we are able to mix up with other Bhakthaas/Bhagavathaas without ego. Please kindly take this as invite in person and come with the family to participate in this auspicious, enjoyable, beautiful booloka vaibhavam. Prasadam will be served for dinner.
