Evvarivaado ee dehi

Evvarivaado ee dehi
ivvala navvala nee dehi

kaaminchu noorake kalaviyu lenivi
emi gattukone nee dehi
Vaamulaaya iruvadiyoka vaavulu
Emani teliseno ee dehi

Kanduva nijamulu kallalu nadipee
Enduku nekkeno ee dehi
Mundhara nunnavi mogidana paatlu
Inde bhramasee nee dehi

Panchendriyamula paalaaya janmamu
Inchuka eragadu ee dehi
Anchala Sree Venkataadheesaa nee kripa 
Panchaga gelichenu vadi nee dehi.


to whom does this Jeeva embodied self belong both in this world and in the other world?

He freely desires for things that are there as well as those that are not there.

In this process what is it that the Jeeva has achieved?

Problems he has he has twenty one different relationships

It is not cear what is it that this Jeeva has understood and realised through this.
He utters thruths as also lies.
Why this jeeva acts in this manner is not known.
Ahead of him lie tremendous difficulties.
Yet this Jeeva is deluded towards this life.
This life has become subjected to the five senses(Panchendriyas)
This Jeeva knows nothing of all these.
O Lord Venkatesvara! ultimately when You shower your grace on him
THIS JEEVA quickly won and surmounted all the ills mentioned above.

This song highlights the glory and efficacy of Lord's Grace. Once it flashes upon the Jeeva, all his afflictions will absolutely be wiped out without a trace. Dehi the one who has a body. According to Ramanujacharya the bodies are four fold, Divine Sura; human Nara; Stationary Sthaavara; other animal species Tiryak. 
Sufferings are the natural consequences of these four types of embodiment. But the Human being is the luckiest since he has the power to think and worship the Lord Venkateswara.

Adisesa and his association with the Lord.

A well known story yet again to refresh our minds, may be  on what we should ask of God in case we are lucky enough to be blessed when we approach him. Should we be selfless or selfish both seem ok when we have the association Most rishis and great devotees have requested that God be ever present where they were seen to bless others and some like Adishesha are selfish in their request both approach seem ok see the request in the story below:
One day Athri Rishi was performing his morning prayers with his hand folded by the tank bund. suddenly his concentration was disturbed by a small snake which found its way into his folded hands. The great Rishi knew that the small snake was none other than Adisesha, he was annoyed and cursed Adisesha to be doomed to be born on earth. Adisesha repented his childish prank and sought forgiveness. The Rishi however could not redeem him of the curse so he advised him to go to Thiruchitrakutam and pray to the Lord there in due course he would be redeemed. thus Adisesha became Pathanjali (the one who fell from the folded hands). In due course he was blessed by the vision of the Lord who redeemed him he prayed that he be never separated from the Lord, that when the lord lay down he should be his couch, and when he sat he should be his umbrella, and when he walked he should be his foot wear, that he should be the soft cloth which the Lord wore etc God granted his wish to be associated with him always. the temple tank is called Shesha theertham. 

18 days 18 forms how lucky.

Once Gopralaya muni who was performing tapas in the Meru mountains desired to see the Lord as Krishna in his different leelas. In response to his austere penance God appeared before him and asked him to go to Thillai Thiruchitrakutam and offer prayers to him there and that he would fulfill his wish there. accordingly the rishi went to Thillai had his bath in the Pundarika puskarini and prayed to the Lord. God is said to have appeared on 18 days in his 18 forms dipicting the various Krishna leelas. thus the rishi saw the Lord as Kalinganarthana, as Poothana vadham, as Govardhana Giri dhari, Varaha roopam, Narasimha roopam, Trivikrama roopam, Parasurama roopam, rama roopam, seeing his various avtara roopams the Rishi prayed to the Lord to be ever present as Venugopala with four hands and with the company of Rukmini and Satyabhama with him. thus today we have the Lord in the Archa form as Venugopala with Rukmini and Satyabhama at his side.

lava and kusha.

At Thiruchitra Kutam Lava and Kusha had the darshan of Rama and Sita in their Pattabhisheka pose. Once when the brothers Lava and Kusha were ruling Ayodya they performed the Asvamedha yaga. as per a requisite of the yaga a horse is let loose and the entire area where it roams without any obstacles or hinderance or restrictions is considered to be the area over which the person performing the yaga will have complete unquestioned suzeranity.
the horse let loose by the two brothers reached Thillai Thiruchitra kutam. the princes also had their bath in the pundarika saras and worshiped Govindaraja. they prayed to have the vision of their parents at the time of Pattabhisekam coronation form. the Lord conceded and he appeared before them as Chakravarthi thirumagan along with Sita and Maruti. In return it is said that the brothers recited the Valmiki Ramayana and thus enabled God to hear his own story through the songs sung by his sons.

monument.

The lotus on which the Ramanuja statue will rest will measure 27 feet in diametre. The dimensions are significant - they speak of the 24 tattvas, or principles of creation, with the 25th representing the soul, the 26th god and the 27th signifying the guru.
Ramanujacharya, says Jeeyar, believed that all were equal in the eyes of god and he fought for the equality of all - "not only for humans, but also for the birds, animals, trees and other creatures".
The ‘Statue of Equality’ crafted in China is conceptualised as a tribute to Ramanujacharya’s philosophy and teachings, and its installation will mark the launch of the 1,000th birth anniversary celebrations of the religious guru planned by Chinna Jeeyar Swamy and his religious trust.
“The containers with the individual parts of the statue are reaching Chennai port from China in the next few days. We have created accommodation for about 60 specialist Chinese workers, engineers and welders who will assemble the statue,” says Mr. Suryanarayana.
Nanjing-based Aerosun has shaped 700 tonnes of panchaloha into the gigantic statue of the Bhakti saint, right down to the sagging ear-lobes.

consistency.

Consistency helps keep your direction towards the ideal. All action must direct towards the ideal goal set. its an important facet it helps gain efficiency which gives confidence enhances productivity thus progress is the by product. pursuing a high ideal with consistent effort is of little use if the actions individually are not perfect. The quality of action will depend upon the mind's concentration. so how great the urge to excel depends on your thought. the best way to do this is to constantly remind yourself that you have to give your best in this moment. once you are able to intently concentrate on the work on hand the rest falls into place automatically. have a fixed time its important say you are busy through the day. so you still have the night sacrifice one hour of your sleep you will see wonders happening there is no looking back. the 3 am stint is the best. it has the power to move mountains as it were. it becomes a habit after a time its a fever you would not want to get well of. the hour you will look forward to the addiction you will not give up. the negative too changes to positive here (addiction).
