Namaskarams to everyone,

I am filled with immense gratitude to share some special news. Renowned author Sri P V Gopalakrishnan has brought out a comprehensive two-volume book titled "Lyrical Masters of Tamil Isai: Lives & Legacies of Tamil Composers."

While the first volume spans the 16th to the 19th century, the second volume focuses on the 20th century and the Contemporary Period. I am deeply honored and humbled to share that I have been featured as part of the Contemporary Composers section.

While it is an absolute privilege to be recognized, I hold the firm belief that the stalwarts and legends in this book stand in a league of their own. I offer this recognition as a token of devotion at the holy feet of my Guru and God.

If you would like to support this wonderful documentation of our musical heritage, the books are available to order via Zero Degree Publishing:

தஞ்சம் தந்திடும் உயர் வேதாந்த சாரமே

Rubber Novel by Sri Jeyamohan!

Just completed reading the Novel Rubber (the first novel of) Sri Jeyamohan.  

We should read novels like this to know the real life of people.

There is difference between commercial writing Vs literature.

While the commercial writing kindles interest to read, creates thrill etc literature writing takes one to the real life.

I feel i should read more such novels and see films which are non-commercial.

Regards

Anand Vasudevan

 Master

Why do we need a Master?

Once upon a time, a cow went out to graze in the jungle. Suddenly, she noticed a lion racing towards her. She turned and fled, fearing that at any moment the lion would sink his claws into her. The cow desperately looked for someplace to escape and at last, saw a shallow pond. Barely evading the lion's reach, she jumped into the pond, and in the heat of the chase, the lion blindly leaped after her.

To the surprise of them both, the pond was extremely shallow yet filled with deep recesses of mud. After toppling over each other, the cow and the lion found themselves a short distance apart, stuck in the mud up to their necks. Both had their heads above water but were unable to free themselves no matter how much they writhed.

The lion repeatedly snarled at the cow and roared, “I am going to enjoy the sound of crunching your bones between my teeth!”

He thrashed about in fury but soon became fretful as he found no prospect of escape.

The cow thoughtfully laughed as the lion struggled to free himself and asked him, “Do you have a master?”

The lion disdainfully replied, “I am the king of the jungle. Why do you ask me if I have a master? I myself am the master!”

The cow said, “You may be the king of the jungle, but here all your power has failed to save your life.”

“And what about you?” Retorted the lion. “You are going to die here in this mud too!”’

The cow smiled mildly and said, “No, I am not.”

“If even I, the king of the jungle cannot free myself from this mud”, snapped the lion, “Then how can you, an ordinary cow?”

The cow gently replied, “I cannot free myself from this mud, but my master can. When the sun sets and he finds me absent at home, he will come looking for me. Once he finds me, he will raise me up and escort me home sweet home.”

The lion fell silent and coldly glared at the cow.

Soon enough, the sunset and the cow’s master arrived. He immediately recognized the plight she was in and lifted her to safety. As they walked home, the cow and the master both felt renewed gratitude for one another and pitied the lion they both would have been happy to save if only the lion had allowed them.

The cow represents a surrendered heart, the lion represents an egoistic mind, and the master represents the Guru. The mud represents the world, and the chase represents the struggle for existence therein.

In brief

Its good to be independent and not rely on anyone. But don't take it to an extreme, you always need a partner/coach/mentor/ friend who will be always on the lookout for you.

Having them does not mean you are weak, it's just that you can be stronger with their help.

Make sure to share this story with your partner/coach/mentor/ friend and express your gratitude.

ARAM by Jeyamohan

Glad to read the book Aram by Jeyamohan. It has 12 wonderful stories. This is my first book authored by Jeyamohan. He must be a Jnani to write such a deep experience touching our hearts. I recommend this book which is published by Vishnupuram publications. Those who are in Kovai can get it directly from the publisher whose office is located at Vadavalli and there is a book stall at RS Puram.
