Sri Parthasarathi thunai, Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Sri Vara Vara munayE namaha Sri vanachala mahA munayE Namaha Dear Srimathi Vedavalli, There have been a lot of good discussions going on in this group. Adiyen's humble pranams to all bhagavatas who have given valid points/anubhavams on the lines of our vedas/azhvars/acharya not moving away from our sampradayam as shown by our poorvacharyas. Adiyen has been a passive reader for quite sometime. Let adiyen now with the permission of all the learned bhagavatas write about the "Nava vidha sambhanda" as mentioned by Pillai lokacharya. "pithA cha rakshagas sEshi bharthA jnEyO ramApathi: I svAmyAdhArO mamAtmA cha bhOkthA sAtyamanoodhitha: II" 1) PithA-putra sambhandam (Father-Son relation) 2) rakshya-rakshaga (protected-protector) 3} sesha-seshi (servant-master) 4) bharthA-bhArya (husband-Wife) 5) jyAthru-jnEya (knowledge-that which is known) 6) svam-svami (property-owner) 7) sareera-sareeri (body-soul) 8) dhArya-dhAraka (AdhAra-AdhEya bhAvam, that which holds and that which is held) 9) bhOkthru- bhOkya (one who enjoys-that which gives enjoyment) It has been shown that all these relationships are shown by the thirumanthram by our poorvacharyas.

Sravanam--- Parikshit Maharaj Kirtanam --- Sukha dev goswami Smaranam --- Bhaktha Prahlad Vandanam --- Akrura Padhasevanam --- Lakshmiji always doing service to Maha vishnu Worshipping ----Prithu Maharaj Dasyam ----- Hanuman Worshipping ---- Prithu Maharaj Treating as a friend ---Arjuna Atma Nivedhanam ----Bali Maharaj Above said Personalities are example for pure devottees. And also Ambarisha Maharaj was always doing bhakthi with all his senses , mind and soul.Yes i admit i read bhagwath gita as it is .I heard Pillai Lokachariar also had given nine sambhanda reg. devotional service .I am trying to get that.If any one know that please let me know that.
