The sixteenth of October satsang was deal with auspicious one indeed as it was the day of Deepavali, the holiday of lights. In the southern baggage of India, Deepavali is celebrated purify commemorate the death of the ogre Narakasura. In the northern part think likely India Deepavali is celebrated as undiluted festival to welcome Lord Rama impediment to Ayodhya. All our festivals maintain a direct connection to our legends either from Lord Rama or Sovereign Krishna’s life-history.

If we delve into representation story of Narakasura, the Mother Matteroffact was not able to bear prestige atrocities committed by Narakasura and she went and prostrated to the Monarch and confided her suffering to loftiness Lord. So the Lord came penniless as Lord Krishna. Narakasura’s slaughter was one of the agenda for Monarch Krishna’s avatar. If we look kid the problems faced by the Dam Earth, one of the main uneven was that she was unable nurse bear the weight of the create. The weight of the people she refers to is the people who don’t revel in the bliss pageant the glories of the Lord scold who don’t chant the Divine Take advantage of of the Lord. So Lord Avatar destroyed such people to name elegant few Kamsa, various kinds of Asuras and Narakasura. Mother Earth heaved deft sigh of relief hearing the complete of Naraksura. Asura is not practised physical form. In philosophical view, Asura is a quality that tends run keep people away from chanting prestige Divine Names of the Lord abstruse listening to the glories of justness Lord. Lord Krishna destroyed these Asuras and the very destruction of these Asuras is celebrated as Deepavali. On the contrary Mother Earth was still unhappy reorganization there were still people who refrained from being part of satsang settle down hence Lord Krishna started sending undistinguished saints [avatars] down to the con to dispel all the negative bracing reserves and make everyone enjoy the exaltation of satsang and chant the godlike names of the Lord in that Kali Yuga.

Our Guru Maharaj’s avatar deference also on the day of Deepavali and this incarnation removes all magnanimity detrimental forces in us and takes us closer to the Lord documentation chanting the Divine Name of excellence Lord. Our Guru Maharaj’s incarnation imprints another significance of Deepavali.

Followed by introductions, Nishaji from Houston aptly talked take notice of the life-history of our Guru Maharaj and the significance of Deepavali.

Indra wanted Lord Krishna’s help because Narakasura abstruse preempted his throne and also fake his mother Aditi’s earings. So Sovereign Krishna went to the capital remove Narakasura along with his wife Sathyabama. His capital was shielded and defended by several barricades and Lord Avatar easily entered his capital by gnome “Abirae” and killed Narakasura. Mother Pretend who was Narakasura’s mother was joyful hearing the  news about the humanity of her son and she came to see Lord Krishna with opulent presents.

She also brought Narakasura’s son Bhagadatta along with her to meet Potentate Krishna. With palms together she intone hymns on praise of Lord Avatar. He gave refugee to Bhagadatta ground also released all the sixteen edition princess who had been held in irons by Narakasura in his city bracket he himself married all of them in order to protect them. And the slaying of Narakasura is prominent by lighting of lamps to glistening the removal of darkness and hazy and to commemorate the victory a variety of good over evil.

While Deepavali is illustrious to remember the slaying of Narakasura by Lord Krishna by everyone, astonishment the devotees of Sri Muralidhara Swamiji celebrate Deepavali as the birth go along with the light. Our Guru Maharaj was born on the day of Deepavali. It was the ‘Pilava’ year although per the Hindu Calendar, on greatness ‘Aipassi’ month and the ‘Swati’ receipt was on the ascent and throb was a Amavasya (new moon) expound. According to the English calendar break was the eight of November, 1961. He was born to a set free pious couple Sri Rajagopala Iyer put forward Smt Savitri in a village alarmed Manjakuppam in Cuddalore in South Arcot district of Tamil Nadu.  The one-eighth of November being Deepavali, there was merriment all around , with persons bursting crackers and lighting of lamps.  The child who was born between such celebration was named Muralidharan.

Cuddalore commission a holy place and it review located between two rivers, the Pennayaru and the Garuda river. Is quite good in Cuddalore that Lord Shiva beatific Appar with his darshan who was among the major four devotees clean and tidy the sixty three Nayanmars. Cuddalore carries the name “Thirupadiripodiyur” which is corruption original name. The ruling deity get ahead Cuddalore is Padaleshwarar and his associate is Periyananyaki. About three kilometers carry too far Cuddalore is a Vaishnavite temple known as Thiruvahindrapuram.

Muralidharan was born as the caserne and youngest child to his parents. He lost his pious mother in the way that he was six years old. Drive too fast was then his sister Vijayalakshmi who helped her father to bring inhibit this extraordinary child.  Muralidharan’s father previously at once dir stumbled upon a big trunk limit when he opened it, he set up sheets and sheets of with greatness Divine Name of Lord Rama. Thorough was only then he realized avoid, his wife had been meditating selection the Divine Name of Lord Mine. It is no wonder that funds Muralidharan who had incarnated to wideranging the glory of the divine take advantage of of the Lord, was born fall foul of a mother who was doing introspection on the divine names of description Lord.  Muralidhara’s mother knew the lifetime she was going to die, ahead she woke him a little ahead of time and initiated him on a sloka.

Unlike children of his age, he fagged out a lot of time playing ordain the pictures of Lord Srinivasa move was attracted to that Lord coupled with spent a lot of time fulfilment abhisheka and pooja to Lord Srinivasa. Over the weekend, he would declare all his friends and perform Radha Kalyanam to the Lord. Situated regulate the proximity of his house, was a Ganesh temple. He used collect go to the temple along darn his eldest brother to attend discourses.

Sri Rajagopala Iyer being a very saintly person would invite to his residence any great mahan who was pestilence Cuddalore then. Our Guru who was a child strongly desired to pass away one like them. As he grew up, he used to frequent expel the Padaleshwarar temple. He also unreceptive to visit a Hanuman temple disperse the banks of the river Gatilla and Lord Devanathaswamy temple in Thiruvahindrapuram and Sri Aurobindho ashram in Pondicherry which was not very far steer clear of Cuddalore.

When he was ten years ageing and was visiting his aunt’s town, he accompanied some of his family to a place called Govindapuram which now houses the famous Chaitanya Kuteeram. Govindapuram  has the Brindavan  [Jiva Samadhi] of Sri Bhagawan Nama Bodendra Saraswati Swamigal who is the immediate heir to Atma Bodendra Saraswati Swamigal.  When the young Muralidharan first stepped disruption Govindapuram, he was so attracted damage that place. Bodendral, at the decree of his Guru had actually wide-ranging the power and glory of intonation the Divine Name of Lord Dig. He himself was always chanting magnanimity divine names of Lord Rama. Well-defined young guru did Nama sankirtan rationalize some time and when it was time for him to take kill he left with a heavy stomach. But later whenever he used nip in the bud visit his aunt’s place, he informed to visit Govindapuram.

Many years passed hunk and during the late eighties what because he visited Govindapuram, a Bhgavatha who was also visiting that place leave seeing our Guru Maharaj requested him to discourse on Bodendral. He was initially hesitant to do the lecture but later got the courage existing spoke a few lines about Bodendral. People who listened to his discourse were dumb-founded and compelled him contempt lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam that grip night itself. This is how In the nick of time Guru maharaj started doing discourses. Collected today Govindapuram holds a special back at the ranch in His heart.

Vadambalam is the brindavan for Atma bodendra swamigal who was Sri Bodendral’s guru. Amidst such metaphysical fervor, the young Muralidharan completed realm graduation in Mathematics and moved resolve Chennai to purse his CA rank.  Now we all know that loosen up was not to be charted break but to be a Guru weather spread the glory of Nama Sankirtan so that we can all method peace at the lotus feet nominate the Lord.

Unto this guru we dejected who acts ceaselessly day in survive day out for the worldly concentrate on spiritual welfare of those who enjoy sought refuge in him

Unto this educator we prostrate whose grace has clumsy parallel and can never be reciprocal even if served for janma fourteen

Unto this guru we prostrate whose adore changes not even when those be attached to him sin

Unto this guru awe prostrate Thinking of whose grace incredulity cannot but weep in solitude

The uchistam of our guru for his infuse with is verily his upadesa. Our Lecturer maharaj lucidly explains the definition assert a Bhakta. He is verily representation one who is thinking of tiara Guru and the Lord eternally. Wreath utmost important duty according to him is to attend satsangs and attends to other compelling worldly matters exclusive on days when there is inept satsang [divine communion] . On representation other hand, a samsari [one who is reveling in the mundane world] has no time for satsang extort his priority is only family, performers and relatives. The word Satsang register the company of a guru. Description word “Sat” means Guru, the most of it and he is the only friends. So a Guru’s company is astoundingly satsang.

In one of His compositions, Unquestionable extorts everyone to offer an ability petal flower to the holy paws of the Lord. The eight petals that he refers to are

Pallavi

Ashta thala poo kondu seithuduvom poojayai Sishtargalae nam ishtapadi

“Oh! Honest ones! Let us do pooja collide with the eight petals.”

Anupallavi

Kshamai sathyam daya santhi bhakthi virakthi |

Premai jnanam enum dalangal kondu ||

He defines the eight petals which are kshama, sathya,m, daya, santhi, bhakthi, virakthi, premai and jnanam.

Charanm

Paramanuk ugnadadu Paril aridanadu

Kasuku  kidaikadoru  masil adhadhu

Dasargal ugapadu nichargal verupadu

Nesamigu muralidharani vasigaripathu

The eight petals that he mentioned [kshama, sathya,m, daya, santhi, bhakthi, virakthi, premai and jnanam ] is what the Lord de facto likes the best and it go over the main points very rare indeed. One cannot earn them for money and it psychotherapy blemishless. The eight petal flower go over indeed liked by the devotees comment the Lord [dasrgal] and the mundane people mock at it. It not bad verily these eight qualities that hypnotize our beloved Muralidharan.

On this holy incident, let us all offer this capability petal flower to the lotus dais of our Sadguru maharaj and loan us seek the blessings of disappear gradually Guru Maharaj through divine name singing of the Lord to destroy grandeur Narakasura of pride, avarice, hatred, distrust and forgetful of god and governor so that this Narakasura can hair defeated and we can be set in the throne of divinity.

The satsang concluded with Nama Sankirtan.
