BELIEVING BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

TO GET RID OF THE PROBLEMS FACED IN 1970'S,MY BELOVED MOTHER SUGGESTED TO CHANT SOME SLOKAS IN MY DAILY PRAYERS,WHICH I DID EVEN WITHOUT KNOWING THE MEANINGS. BUT WITH FULL FAITH IT GAVE ME IMMENSE MENTAL SATISFACTION AND MUCH SOONER MY PROBLEMS WERE GETTING SOLVED.I CONTINUE TO CHANT ALL THE SLOKAS WHICH MAKES ME HAPPY,ENERGETIC WITH UNBRIDLED ENTHUSIASM.



SWAMI CHINMAYANANDA'S TEACHING HELPED ME START TO RECITE ONE SLOKA EVERYDAY FROM BHAGAVAD GITA. IT MADE ME TO CULTIVATE GOOD HABITS, UNDERSTANDING THE REALITIES OF LIFE, COMPOSED CONVICTION, CLEAR VISION TO CHOOSE DIRECTION.I ALSO STARTED LISTENING AND ATTENDING SPIRITUAL DISCOURSES AND DEVOTIONAL MUSIC. THE BHAJANS GAVE ME GOOD MOMENTS AND ESSENCE OF LIFE. 12 YEARS OF PRAYING ANJANEYA ON SATURDAYS; 15 YEARS OF ATTENDING RAHU KALA POOJAS IN KALIKKAMBA TEMPLE ON TUESDAYS;UPAVASAM ON EKADESI DAYS AND ATTENDING BHAJANS STARTED BY BANK FRIENDS; 54 TIMES THIRUVANNAMALAI "GIRIVALAM" CONTINUOUSLY WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES; AND THE BLESSINGS OF RAMANA MAHARISHI,SUKHA BRAHMA MAHARISHI HAS DEFINITELY GIVEN HARMONY AND TRANQUILITY IN MY LIFE. I FIND SERENITY AND SENSE OF DIRECTION BY FULFILING PITHRU KARMAS(FOREFATHER'S RITUALS) AT RAMESWARAM, ALLAHABAD, VARANASI, GAYA, AND BACK AGAIN TO RAMESWARAM.



AFTER SERVING STATE BANK OF INDIA FOR 36 YEARS I RETIRED FROM OFFICE WORK IN THE YEAR 2001. WITH THE WONDERFUL COMPANY OF MANY FRIENDS IN MAHALAKSHMI YATRA SERVICE, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF VISITING SO MANY SACRED HISTORICAL TEMPLES (IE)ASHTA VINAYAK TEMPLE,PANJA DWARAKAS, MATHURA, BRINDAVAN, AYODHYA, HARIDWAR, RISHIKESH, ALL JOTHIR LINGAMS, PURI JAGANNATH, BADRINATH, KEDARNATH, SAKTHISTALAS, VAISHNAVO DEVI,KAMAGHYA, KOLKATA KALI, KOLHAPUR MAHALAKSHMI, KANAGADURGA, AMBAJI,PUSHKAR, AHOBHILAM,POWERFUL SACRED NARASIMHAS ALL OVER ANDHRA PRADESH,PASUPATHI NATH AT NEPAL, MUKTHINATH.




WITH THE BLESSINGS OF ALMIGHTY, THE MARRIAGES OF TWO SONS HAPPENED IN 2001,AND THE OTHER IN 2007 RESPECTIVELY AT CHENNAI. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH WONDERFUL DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS AND BOTH MY SONS ARE ALL SETTLED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MY SASHTIAPTHAPOOTHI WAS CELEBRATED IN THE YEAR 2002 AT PHOENIX WITH THE HELP OF MY NIECE CHITRA AND KALYAN WITH AN ATTENDANCE OF 30 FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. IN THE YEAR 2008 MY WIFE VASANTHA'S 60TH BIRTHDAY WAS CELEBRATED WITH PUNDITS CHANTING VEDHA MAHANYASA. SELF AND WIFE TWICE VISITED U.S TO STAY WITH SONS AND NOW ON MY THIRD VISIT TO GET MY PROMOTION AS GRANDFATHER.
