All of you are invited to attend this Musical
tribute to the Saint and
his Upaasanaa Moorthy , Lord VenkatEsa of Thirumala
.
His krithis are the distilled essence of VaishNava
dharmam .
Here is one on his view of what is SandhyA
Vandhanam for
this evolved SrI VaishNavar :
" Sahaja VaishNavAchaara varthanula
sahavAsamE maa Sandhyaa
athisayamaagu Srihari sankeertana
sathathambunu maa sandhyaa
Mathi Raamaanuja mathamE maakunu
chathuratha merasina sandhyaa
ParamabhAgavatha padha sevanamE
saravi nenna maa sandhyaa
Srivaru mahimalu cheluvondaga
vesaraka vinutae maa sandhyaa
Manthukekka ThirumantrapAtanamE
santhathamunu maa Sandhyaa
Kanthugurudu VenkatagirirAyani
SantharpaNamE maa sandhyaa. "
(Meaning ) : " Having as our companions , persons
who follow
the VaishNava way of life is our sandhyaa
vandhanam ( Twilight prayer).
Rendering for ever , the excellent and
incomparable Sri Hari sankIrthanams
is our sandhyaa prayer .
Following the religious philosophy of RaamAnuja is
our ideal , knowledgable ,
intellectual sandhyaa vandhanam .
On careful reflection , we realize that rendering
service (Kaimkaryam) to
the exclusively devoted bhakthAs ( Parama
BhAgavathAs) is our beautiful
way of doing sandhyaa.
Listening carefully and tirelessly to the great
glories of the consort of
Sri ( PadhmAvathi ThAyAr ) alone is our
sandhyaa worship.
To chant forever , the well known and revered
AshtAkshara manthram
is our Sandhyaa worship.
To be engaged in acts( Kaimkaryams) ,
which please the father of Manmatha
and the Lord
of Venkatam hills is our only Sandhyaa. "
(PraNavam) NamO VenkatEsAya ,
