I just made a 2 part Pravachanam (means spiritual talk/Upanyasam) for 2 days  on the topic Shri Maha Bhaktha vijayam, which is a series of stories on the life and teachings of Bhakthas renown in History.It was such a learning experience and a blessing in disguise. It was a very humbling experience too. People above 60 came up and   spoke to me about various related topics. A lady in particular gave me an idea that i should visit these pilgrim spots mentioned in those stories to have a first hand experience and add that extra touch.

On the 14th of April, the Pravachanam was about Shri Jayadevar, the author of the great Geetha Govindam and Ashtapathi. What a hair-raising story! What twists and turns! What climax! What logic and What justification of events in the story! The Pravachanam on the 16th was on two stories- Goswami Tulsidas and Santha Chakkubai. From a man with frailities of character, how he turned into a bhakt, with the burning desire to have a dharshan of Shri Rama? The simple wife Mamta Bai who opened his eyes from ignorance to illumination with her searing questions?

Well, will continue in my next post as duty beckons!
