Radhekrishna.

Sri Anna is an epic personality of our times and it is indeed our great fortune to be associated with him, even if remotely. All the Granthams that he has composed are an expression of pure divinity. While all these outpourings are his 'Samarpanams' at the sanctum of his beloved 'Lord Bhaktakolahalan', he has been extremely gracious in making them available to us for our benefit. We should therefore ensure that it's pristine divinity is maintained by us by ensuring that it is not reduced to mere casual listening / rendering. We should convert this into an opportunity to listen and render with bhakti which will gladden Sri Anna's heart.

Songs 81 to 90, Sri Raghava Shatakam

Jai Sitaram.

The grace of the lord on a devotee, and the devotion of a devotee to the lord compete and surpass each other, and in the culmination, both of them have only tears of joy for each other. We open the day today with a moment which will make our hearts swoon !!! 'Sri Raamaa' is speechless and stumped completely when 'Sri Hanuman' announces the good news of having found 'Sitadevi' and presents him with her ornament. We move on next to the essence of 'Sri Raamaa's' incarnation - to give 'abhaya' to a 'Sharanaagata'. Is there an episode other than that of 'Sri Vibheeshinaa Saranaagati' that can be a fitting example to illustrate 'Sharanaagati' ?. The narration gathers pace with 'Kumbhakarna's' pleas to 'Ravana' falling on deaf years. 'Ravana's' stubbornness in refusing to return 'Sitadevi' gracefully back to 'Sri Rama' sounded the death knell for the 'Rakshasa' race '. We end the today with the eruption of a ferocious battle between 'Rakshasas' and 'Vaanaraas' and with 'Ravana' beginning to lose his Kith and kin.
