Dear Bhagavathas:

I have uploaded (on You Tube) a delightful video clip of Sri Jagannatha Swami of Thiru Nandipura Vinnagaram (also known as Thiru Nathan Koil). Thiru Nathan Koil is a beautiful Divya Desam very near Thirukkudanthai.   The approach road is a narrow, winding country road with charming scenery around. The temple is managed by Sri Vanamamalai Mutt. Since Lord Jagannatha removed the curse of Nandi, you see Nandi inside the inner sanctum sanctorum.

I have spliced the video with the Divine Music of Smt. M.S.Subbulakshmi – a moving rendition of a Nanak Shabad [simirana kar lE mErE manA (tU)]. To enhance your anubhavam, the approximate meaning of the stanzas of the Shabad for sung by Smt.MSS is given below (from a friend of mine):

 

oh mind! why don’t u contemplate more?

 

your limited life-span is passing before you (one day at a time)

without contemplation on Hari's Name

 

like a well without water, like a cow without milk

like the Earth without rain

like a tree which giveth not any fruits

so is a being without Hari's Name

 

like the body without eyes, like the night without the moon,

like the temple without a lamp,

like a Pandith without the Vedas,

so is a being without Hari's Name

  

please remove my desires, anger, ego & envy

[in this age wherein] saintly men are cast aside [like useless tinsel]

Oh Lord! so sayeth saintly Nanak

there is no one in the world other than Oneself

 

 

With your eyes enraptured by the Divya Mangala Vigraham of Lord Jagannatha,  your ears enchanted by the mellifluous voice of Smt.MSS and your mind mesmerized by the meaning of the Shabad, you melt straightaway-  “azhal vAi mezhugu pOl”.

Enjoy!
