Ksheera Saagara Sayana... The boy is so fond of Rama Naamaa...Specially the Rama Thrayodashi Mantra - Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama... The weekend early morning, his usual walk in the nearby lake park... One full round will take twenty minutes with a moderately phased walk... The boy never counted the Rama Nama chanting, just keep chanting...while sitting or walking... That day he wanted to... He was telling to himself, let us try. for one full cycle how many times we are chanting this Rama Thrayodasi... He started, walking, chanting, walking & chanting and chanting & walking... He completed the first round... Astonished... The count was exactly 1008 times... He would love to hear music while walking... Now, for the second round, he plugged in the ear phones in his ears and tuned the very unfamous 100.1 FM - All India Radio Bangalores All Classical Music Radio Station. To his surprise, he could hear Ksheera Saagara Sayana the very famous Krithi by Saint Thiyagaraja, in the raga Deva Gaandhaari. The boys all time favorite...for various reasons...Now rendering is by Vidwan Mysore Sri B S Raja Iyengar... The boy is little astonished...walking in the banks of a lake...Rama Naamaa chanting, 1008 times... on a Saturday...Yathi Maalayam day...Ksheera Saagara Song of his beloved composer Sathguru Sri Thiyagaraja... Not even minutes, he got the answer through the Sathguru Thiyagaraja... tAraka nAma tyAgarAja nuta dayatOn(5E)lukOrA rAma kshIra sAgara Sayana nannu cintala peTTa valenA rAma O Lord whose name (nAma) carries one across (tAraka) (the ocean of Worldly Existence)! O Lord praised (nuta) by this tyAgarAja! O Lord rAma! Please govern (ElukOrA) me with compassion (dayatOnu) (dayatOnElukOrA); O Lord reclining in the Ocean of Milk! O Lord rAma! Should You keep me in distress? Salutes to Sri Rama, Sathguru Thiyagaraja, Sri Mysuru B S Raja Iyengar... And most importantly... to the small boy, the master who taught who is Rama, who is Seetha, who is Lord Hanuman, Who is Thiyagaraja... The Great Guruvarar... Harikatha Rathnaakaraa Brahmasri T S Balakrishna Sastrigal...
