Namaskaram,

sriman naaraayaNa charaNow charaNam prabhathyE

srimathE naaraayaNaaya namaha

srimathE raamaanucaaya namaha.

 

i was added to this group just today. many many thanks to mani for

introducing me to this group of knowledgeable people. i am proud to be

atleast a part of it.

here is my introduction.

My name is Vijayaraghavan R Triplicane( i just read vaidehi's intro. i

am really happy to know that somebody is from Triplicane and i

wholeheartedly share all those great experiences of her abt Sri

Parthasarathy perumaL, his uthsavams, his inherent "ghambeera" look

....and everything abt him. more than anything else, the rythmic chanting

of naalaayira dhivya prabhandham, enhancing its greatness to new

heights, which i doubt one can find in any other dhivya dhEsam other

than the 108th. it is to be experienced personally. )

i was born in TRiplicane in 1968 and within 2 years my father got

transferred and my maternal grandfather moved to mambalam where i spent

most of my early childhood. we made frequent visits to t.cane though. my

greatest source of inspiration is my grandpa and my uncles. they are all

well versed in the vaisnavism, 4000, Bhagavad Gita,...more than the

knowledge , the Bhakthi in them is very important and i grasped

something from them. later i moved along with my father who used to get

transferred once in 3 years. i did my BE in electronics & comn and i aws

worjking as Research & Development Engineer in Indchem electronics ,

madras from '89 -'93. Then i came to USA. i am now doing my MS in

Computer engg at west virginia univ(1 hour drive south of pittsburg)

will be graduating by this summer- to start job search..

my parents dont know much of the religious literature or the

visishtaaadvaitha pjhilosophy etc.. they just had a strong devotion and

bhakthi to lord Rama, thats it. so i too just knew nothing but rama.

later my frequent discussions with my uncle and grandpa gave me some

insights. b4 coming to US i made it a point to visit as many dhivya

dhesams as possible and i had my samaasrayaNam at vaanamaamalai madam,

thirunelveli dist. and visited Azhwar thirunagari and the puLiya maram

and the 9 dhivya dhEsams cxalled nava thiruppathy. great experience

(even though most of the temples are very old and in a dilapidated

condition).

i am learning periya thirumozhi by thirumaNGgai aazhwaar. i happened to

go thro a pasuram abt badhri( mudhugu paRRi kaiththalaththaal munnoru

kOloonRi..) and i was very much attracted by its simplicity and the

great attraction and the greatness of tamil and i started reading the

other pasurams of thirumaNGgai mannan and esp the thiruvallikkENi

kaNdEnE pasurams with so much of satisfactio and pride!)

i am looking forward to learn a lot abt our philosophy our tradition and

the literature.

thanks once again for introducing me to this group.

p.s.:

vaidehi, do u live in car street? my uncle lives there. No. 46 car

street. it is closer towards the jn. with singarachari st. his name is

janardhanan. (murali - locally). they bought this house last year and

since then living there. my great inspiration and my teacher - my

parents live in tambaram presently.

bye

viji
