The Mantra Nonpareil
The last few days were spent on contemplation on Tirumandiram, the 3000-verse spiritual treatise written by Tirumoolar. The occasion was a release of an audio cd by Swami Akshara. The participants were volunteers of Akshara Foundations, including myself.
Though meditation on the verses were happening for nearly a decade since I first heard them sung by Sirkazhi Govindarajan in 1992, now there was an opportunity to speak about it on two days at the inaugural function of the CD at the Foundations in Chennai.
Never enjoyed speaking to a group of people more than this any time.

Hi Swahilya,
Could not make it on the first day. But it was indeed a refreshing experience on Sunday. And having a darshan of the Swamiji at such close quarters getting enlightened by his words of advise was indeed a blissful experience which would not have happened but for you.
I do not have words to thank you and at the same time thanking you would be be-littling the service done by you.
@Ganesh and Balasoumi: At present, I don't know how it can be done. But soon, I suppose when programmes are being held in the United States, there is a possibility of getting across the CDs. It could also be sent by courier if you wish and mail me your addresses.
Hari: Actually since most of the people who came on the first day were not there on the second and most of those who were on the second did not come on the first, I dealt with the verses in full detail and you hence didn't miss much.
And as for the opportunity to meet Swamiji, I am equally happy as you are that it happened so beautifully that day. Namaste. Swaha.
Thanks Swahilya,
Do let me know when the CDs are available.
Thanks
Sowmya
Balasoumi: The CDs are available. Just how to get it across to you is what I am wondering.
Swaha.
