Sri Swamijis Chennai visit

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Sri Swamiji's Chennai Concert, Nada Yoga Raga Sagara was a marvel.History

has not seen such a concert and no other future concert can perhaps even

equal this equal , leave alone surpassing it! The place, time, setting of

the stage, disciple of the audience, the whole ambience was unique. People

for a moment forgot that they were in a busy city like chennai as seemed it

was it was out of the world! Sri Swamiji was simply more adorable than

ever with His child like interest and enthusiasm about everything!!!

More than 10,000 people were seated in pindrop silence, drowned in the

divine music of Sri Swamiji as the cool sea breeze enveloped the

audience.No bigwigs. No politics. No VVIPS . No protocol. No speeches. No

flattery.No exaggeration. The entire focus was only on Sri Swamiji. It was

just Swamiji and His healing Music! Sweet and Soothing Music! Curing Music!

It was just for devotees of the Lord and believers. It was a unique and

an exhilarating experience even to those who were very much used to

concerts of Sri Swamiji. Most of the audience was rocked to sleep when the

second raga was being played. Most of them didnot realize that Sri Swamiji

walked amidst them and were surprised when told... they were sleeping

Each raga had a different impact on the body.

Though awareness of the body's existence remained, body was no longer

obeying commands of the brain.We could not open our eyes though we felt

like!

The distinction between the body and the consciousness, which is generally

smudged was apparent.One could sense the seperate identity and existence of

both. It was like laser surgery, so to say, seperating both.Yet

consciousness could sense existence of both at the sametime as seperate

identities ! amazing experience!

Pujya Swamiji played Pranava Svarupam in Rushyaketupriya Raga, Bhajan

Vilasatu Deepti in Brindavana Saranga Raga, Bhajan Varugave Varugave - Tamil

Bhajan in Malaya Maruta Raga, Andolaye Rajeshvarim in Hindola Raga, Pavana

Pavani Palayam in Gamanashrama Raga, Happy tune in Shankarabharana Raga and

Mangala in Sama Raga

The Tanjore temple backdrop , tastefully and colourfully decorated, provided

the required sanctity and serenity to the stage.It was indeed a scene from

Siva loka!! We chennaities could not believe that we could really do all

this! It is dream come true for us! We thank Sri Swamiji for bearing with

all our lapses and encouraging us to do our best!!Jaya Guru Datta!

Many regards

Srilakshmi Prasaad
