This is how social change happens where people can go from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, from mortal beings to immortality which is knowledge that is Aksharam. Thank you Best Regards Uma I like the idea that there is a standardization of Telugu knowledge which is also recognized by an Educational Institution. This is how social change happens where people can go from darkness to light, from untruth to truth, from mortal beings to immortality which is knowledge that is Aksharam.
Thank you

]]> Comment on Spiritual Discourses by Brahmasri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma by Balamurali Krishna Goparaju http://teluguhouston.org/tcahouston/?p=913&cpage=1#comment-2276 Balamurali Krishna Goparaju Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:31:40 +0000 http://teluguhouston.org/tcahouston/?p=913#comment-2276 I have attended the first three discourses on Lakshmi Vaibhavam, Narayana Vaibhavam and Gajendra Moksham. The discourses touched my heart and spirit. The explanation has almost painted a picture infront of my eyes and felt the whole body vibrating in resonance with Bhakthi on several occasions. No amount of time would be sufficient to here Narayana Vaibhavam especially about Sri Krishna and Sri Rama. I had been blessed by His Holiness Srimannarayana Chinna Jiyar Swamiji few years back with mantropadesam. Ever since that day, my heart and mind experience great happiness (Anandam), eyes well up with tears, whenever I hear such discourses about Srimannarayana and Sri Mahalakshmi. We bow to his Aarthi in Gajendra Moksham to save his devotees. The explanation is so enriching that one can visualize with Narayana jumping of his Pannagadheesa bed and start to run (not walk), his disorderly robes, behind him Sri Mahalakshmi following with looks of Vismayam, Shankam, Chakram, Gadha trying to catch up with him in the background of Pala Samudram and Adi Seshu. This type of events do charge our souls (like batteries) with life and keep us going to face the intricacies and turbulence of life. My gratitude goes to Brahmasri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma garu for bringing this to us, to the organizers (TCA, Hosuton Sahiti Lokam Group and Vanguri Foundation) who made this possible, to the Ashta Lakshmi Temple where we enjoyed the first two days in the divine ambience of Srimannarayana and Specially to Sri Mallik Putcha garu and Sitaram Ayyagari garu for opening their doors and hearts to host the remaining two days of program at their homes. May Srimannarayana and Sri Mahalakshmi bless all organizers and attendees with health and propserity.

]]> Comment on ANCIENT HISTORY OF ANDHRAS by M Raghavan http://teluguhouston.org/tcahouston/?page_id=446&cpage=1#comment-1850 M Raghavan Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:04:22 +0000 http://teluguhouston.org/tcahouston/?page_id=446#comment-1850 I find it alarming that all of the epics seem to refer to Andhras as having connections to enemies of what were identified as being those on the side of God, e.g., the Pandavas, Krishna, Vishwamitra, and so on. It would suggest an "asthika" (non-Vedic) origin to these ancient peoples. Tamil references to the Andhra peoples refer to them as "Tenangu", people of the South.

I suggest that some kind of learning material provided for Level 4 for next year competitions. The feedback I got from these kids is that they are little bit lost in what and how to prepare at this level as they don't have much time to spend on a regular basis.
