GLIMPSE OF A DAY AT SRIRANGAM.... A PANORAMIC RISING.... We all wake up in our dingy rooms looking at the false ceiling. Even ceilings are false in our city lives. How about waking up to the pleasant view of towering gopurams and the dazzling golden vimanam nestled in their between? Sriranga vimanam is celebrated as the very figurine of the Pranava mantram. The 9 golden kalashams that bejewel the Vimanam stand for aum, aapa:, jyothi:, rasa:... which are the crowns of Gayathri mantra. A simple glance at the Sriranga Gopurams can bestow one with a crore blessings. A LOVELY DIP.... Lord Ranganatha came to Srirangam with the aim to quench the Bhakthi thirst of Goddess Cauvery. She in turn, is here to cleanse the external and the internal dirt of the person having a dip her waters. As per the Puranas, it is a sin to think of a river while having a dip in another. But the only exception is given to Cauvery. SHIVA explains NARADA that a person must think of river Cauvery while bathing in any other river. Lord Ranganatha Himself explains to Vibheeshana that a person who bathes in Cauvery makes a clean sweep of the paapam of the next ten generation. SRI SUDARSHANAS GRACE.... Just before entering the Kaarthigai gopura entrance, on the left-hand side lies the most vibrant sannidhi on earth. Sri Sudarshana, who is carried by the aadhaara shakthi of Lord Nrishimha has an exquisite presence here. A few pradakshinams of SriSudarsha (and Lord Nrisimha at His rear side) can kill the bad elements posing as roadblocks in our lifes path. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.... Just opposite the sannidhi of SriSudarshana is Bhagavath Ramanujacharyas sannidhi. Worship of this Saviour can untangle the hundreds of meshes around us that keep our lives static and spirit less. CIRCUMAMBULATING THE VIMAANA As per Brahmanda Purana, pradakshinam of Sriranga vimaana can rid one of several ills. The following are stated therein : Yama says to his servants We need to worship the last relative of a person who does pradakshinam. Brahma says Devas, Saadhyas, Rishis, Pitrus, Vasus do 12 pradakshinam everyday. Lord says 12 pradakshinams = One lakh times recitation of Vasudeva mantram (doer and kindler) 24 pradakshinams = One crore times Gayatri mantra japam (doer and kindler) 108 pradakshinams = They receive My own amsam COSMOS ON A SERPENT.... The core energy of the entire existence lies on the five headed aadisesha as Lord Ranganatha. His kataksham can bestow us and the generations to come never ending bliss and vitality. BEYOND WORDS.... The Divine Mother Srirenganachiar is an exception....She, being the Universal Mother instinctively knows what we need. Hence, Her reasonless love cannot be explained. Her darshanam will fetch us everything!
