Hear  the  great poem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrREtpYn-kU

 

I am hearing bell outside , keep  the plate

And  go and find out who it is?

I can eat  the food later , Oh  Alamelu

 

Who is that  , Is it kallookkaran

Great  , once  you were  so thin,

Now  you have  become fat ,

On the  day  , you finished  college

And  went  to London, Urgently

You  came  and saw  me , I was  happy

 

You  have completed  education  ,

And  have  become an emgineer , isn’t it?

And I have  retired  and have  become bed ridden now!

 

Do  not  stand  like  olden times, Please sit,

I am tired because due to arthritis ,

Like  what you see  me now

 

This  is my daughter Alamelu,

Who mixes rice  and feeds  me like  my mother.

As if  my  infancy has  returned  again,

She is there  , had it been male

He  would have  gone to Bombay or  Madras

IN old times also for Brahmins ,

The  country  outside  has been   their motherland

 

Daughter  , slowly  feed me,

In between I well  him the news

He is my  pet student

He  is my pet student

He Said  , Sir  do not get tired

By taling again and again,

I did not see you earlier  and did not know

How much  change has  come to you

Even now  I remember  that scene

 

In High school  you  walking  like  an elephant

In between cattle like  us

What need of cane , you had thick plants outside

Even students who were  heroic like tiger

Used to get  scared  and run

 

Though  we  became  near  to you,

We  were  able to see you only through key hole

With you sun like words  of clarity,

With  your knowledge  which was  very deep

WE  could see melting love in your eyes

 

What is the  use  of talking of past

As much as possible you taught   and retired

I earned  you and though  time tied  my hands and legs

I lived   in you

 

Oh Daughter  Alamelu  , let  this kallukaran feed mr

Even though he is Christian , it does not matter

Teacher  and student from olden times belonged to a home

Teacher  and student from olden times belonged to a home

Did I not feed you balls  of wisdom  earlier

AS compensation , make balls of rice and fed me

Being fed  by  the  great  son,

Let  my mind  become cool

 

AS compensation , make balls of rice and fed me

Being fed  by  the  great  son,

Let  my mind  become cool

Meera’s kolu 2024 –all one but 1-10

Meera’s kolu  2024 –all one but 1-10

 

By

P..R.Ramachander

 

My  dear  daughter  whose  ,

Creative novelty is known to all,

Decided   that  this   year,

The theme  of her  kolu  was  one  to ten

 

She  said  that whatever  scene of mythology  ,

She chooses should have that many mumbers  ,

She  has chosen  should  be in one place,

And  I simply  blinked  and blinked

 

After  her set  up  is  over , she called,

Me  and showed what  all she has done

I told her  everything in puranas  are individual

But   she  said  , it is  not like  that and told me.

 

1.Not  2  but 1

 

What  her one is , she explained to me

There Was  devotee  of  lord Shiva ,

Who insisted  he  will go round one  god only

After some effort  Shiva  and parvathy  became  “One”

 

2.Not 1  but 2

 

Lord  Sun married  sanjana, the daughter of Viswa Karma

But she  could  not sleep   with  a person   so hot,
So she left her shadow  , chaya  there  and vanished

Her father persuade her to come back , Sun had  two wives

 

3.Holy  trinity  in one place

 

WE   all  know   that  lord  Brahma  created   the world,

But some  people say   it was Khoosmanda, who when

All creations vanished  created  three powers ,

Durga , Lakshmi and Saraswathy  who created the world

 

4.4 went away  but were  1  before Guru

 

Lord brahma  started  the creation  and he created,

Four sons from his mind   who were told to create

They  refused and decided  to learn , Lord Shiva as DAkshinamurthy

Taught them all that  needs  to be learnt to the four

 

5.Five  elements  all in  one place

 

She  then told  us  the   story  of Mahi Ravana

Who jailed  Rama    and lakshmna

 And Hanuman went there  to free them but  there was five lamps  there,

To put out you have to blow  with five elements  and he did by his five heads

 

6.Six children but   were  one

 

There  was asura called  tharaka  who took  a boon,

That  he could be killed  by  son  of Lord  Shiva

At  That  time  parvathy  was doing penance  to marry shiva,

From shiva’s third eye six sparks came which became   six children

The  Lord  Shanmukha  looked  after  by six maidens

 

7.Seven mothers/virgins  alwas as one

 

Seven is the number  which occurs  in mythology  often

There was  a    asura  called  andhakasura  and  Goddess

Took form of seven mothers  to kill  him  and there

Is seven virgins   in Tamil Nadu   who were  all

Forms of goddess  Parvathi   who were  guardians  of  Tamil villages

 

8.Eight  1 in 3 all in one state

 

Eight   is the number  of different  type of Ganesas

Spread  all over  Maharashtra, Most  of them have two wives

Sidhi and Budhi  who were  sent  to him  by Lord  Brahma

Because he felt sad  that  he  was  the only  bachelor god

 

9.Nine planets   all in one place

 

Nine planets are  supposed  to determine luck of every one

And So Lord Ravana put them in prison in houses,

Where   they will do immense  good before a son

Who cried like was  born to him, but  SAni ,

Made a ball of his and  rolled  it  into a bad house

This  one  brought  his death at   battle  with Lakshmana

 

10.Ten incarnations  all in one place

 

Ten    were  the  incanation  Of  Lord  Vishnu

Once  there  was an Asura   called   Banda ,

Arose  from ashes of Manmatha  and

Goddess  Durga   fought  with him

And during war  she created ,

The ten Avatharas of Vishnu 

From her to kill  asuras  of past

Created by  Bandasura  and

She killed Bandasura  herself

See each of her 1-10 in

Amba mahalakshmi  neeye  Anna poorneswariye

Pattu  pavadai katti  Oddiyanam  mele pottu

Thanga  kireedam vaithu  thamarai  poochendu  aadinaal

 

Oh mother  Mahalakshmi   you are  goddess annapurneswari

Wearing   silk  petty coat, tying    golden Odyanam(belt )  over it

Putting   golden crown, she played with ball made  of lotus flowers

 

Asurarum   devarum   amudham kadayum pothu

Amrithathil  vandhu udhithaal  anna purneswariye

 

When Asuras   and devas were   churning for nectar

She came on the nectar, the  goddess  annapurneswari

 

Kodi thavangal cheithu  padha darisanathai

Kondadum   anbarukku koduthaal  sakala  bhagyam

 

To those  friends  who do  one crore penance

And celebrate  the  vision  of her  feet

She gave   all sorts  of luck

My periyappa -the great Viswanatha Vadhyar of Mumbai

My periyappa  -the  great  Viswanatha  Vadhyar  of  Mumbai

 

By

P.R.Ramachander

               Sri Viswanatha  vadhyar was my  mother’s elder  sister’s huband .His native place was Payilur ,He was by profession a priest. In the 40’s  it was not a paying profession , that  too in a small agraharam , near Palakkad

       Some time in  1952, he left his village  and  helped one  of his brother in laws  near Hyderabad in running a hotel.He then thought  he would go to Mumbai  to help another Brother in law   who was  running  a hotel in Bhandup  , Mumbai

   He found that   again doing his profession of piest  was better .Slowly  he established  him self  .He had three sons and five daughters  .All his  sons  got job in Mumbai  and with  some effort  he could give all  his  daughter’s  in marriage

    When my father  wanted  to give in marriage my sister(1961)   , since his  monetary  position was very poor , My periyappa  lent  him 10000 rs loan( You can understand how big it is by knowing rice  was  selling at 30 paise per kg)

   After  I got a job  in 1963 and after  working  few  years , I returned the loan .He refused  any interest  for that.

    I had  a wonderful relation with him   and all his children. Today  one of his daughter  in laws has  published  a great article about him by one sri L,M,Sarma .It really jolted me   as it  made me understand  how  great was my periyappa..My humble  namaskarams to that  great  individual, Who mostly lived  for others

Brahmasri Pyallore Viswanatha Vadhyar, epitome of true acharya dharma, messiah of the poor

No, he did not head any famous institution, lead a revolutionary movement, or had his photographs and interviews splashed across the front pages of newspapers or (in his earlier years) even have a decent accommodation in Mumbai, yet he became a legend who continues living in the hearts of his numerous grihastas and their descendents. He was Brahamasri Pyyalore Viswanatha Vadhyar who made Mumbai his home in the latter years of the mid fifties of the last century, and in his own way rendered invaluable service to the Tambram community in his own in inimitable humble wa

As I visualize his benign features through the mists of time, there appears before me a calm, wise face radiating brahma tejas of the highest order reminiscent of the ancient vedic times, eyes (a slight squint in one eye, if I remember right)) twinkling with wisdom and humour, a chandana kuri on his forehead and streaks of sandal paste on his arms, and a tall wiry yogic body with not a milligram of flab. Compare this with today’s hippo sized barrels of lard looking like asuras, weighed down with rrudraksha malas embedded in gold and bejeweled rings in every available finger, moving around in Marutis babbling incessantly into their Blackberrys.

For Viswanatha Vadhyar, upadhyayam was a dharma in the true sense of the term, a bounden duty as part of his Brahminic lineage. And he was not just any ordinary upadhyaya. He was an acharya, a true teacher and also an highly erudite mantravadi who used his mantravadam skills top counsel and cure his grihastas of the numerous phobias, tensions and problems besetting them. Psychiatrists were unheard of those days and it was the likes of Vishwanatha vadhyar who were true counselors who catered to the mental health of their grihastas. With his great skills he could have minted millions had he wanted to do. But he didn’t stray from the path of dharma and succumb to the temptations of filthy lucre. He limited himself to making an honest rupee to maintain himself and his family.

His acts of charity are the stuff that legends are made of. One doesn’t not known even if his family ware of it Charity is something that even the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand gives. But his charity was not giving out monetary doles. He couldn’t afford it. His charity lay in his help to the needy. I can recall one stance when a well to do grihasta of his fell on bad days. The girhasta got a paralytic stroke, was rendered jobless and over a period of time became penniless. At this stage the grihasta lost his father and did not have the means to even cremate him, leave alone performing the hugely expensive post funeral rites. Vishw3anatha vadhyar came to know of this grihasta’s plight and came rushing to his house in the dead of night. Those days only taxis were available. So Vishwanatha vadhyar, took a taxi in the dead of night from Ghatkopar where he lived, to the grihasta’s house in far off Andheri and handled the funeral and the thirteen days ceremony, without expecting a copper. Local people had collected the fire wood but all other expenses were personally borne by Vishwanatha Vadhyar. Not only that, this noble vadhyar met all the expenses with the thirteen days ceremony including the dakshinas, the danams and the feeding. Was Viswanatha vadhyar rolling in riches at that time? Barely. He was making a modest living jaust making ends meet. Can one expect such grace from today’s carrion eating vultures who style themselves as vadhyars and feast off the dead ?

I have known Viswanatha vadhyar perform yagyapavitam ceremonies for poor Brahmin boys. Spending out of his own pocket. I also recall his services in exorcising a brahmarakshas in one of the oldest pattar ghettoesd, Shri Ram nagar in Andheri. There is a drive way leading upto the gates of Shri Ram Nagar. As you enter the gate, you will see a huge banyan tree with a miniscule temple in which a lamp can be seen burning. I don’t recall which year it was, probably, the latter half of the fifties that a Brahmarakshas had taken the colony in its grip and had inflicted a lot of casualties in the form of deaths of young Brahmins. After a prasnam, Viswanatha vadhyar was given the task of exorcising Mr. Brahmarakshas. He did it effectively and the colony saw happy days again. Now, any other vadhyar with the expertise, accomplishments of Viswanatha Vadhyr would have taken advantage of the paranoia gripping the residents and extracted more than his pound of flesh. But, believe it or not, Viswanataha Vadhyar took a token amount of just Re.1, as dakshina.

That was Vishwanatha Vadhyar. He would rush to the help of his grahastas. Unlike a certain vadhyar in a north eastern suburb who rushed to his guru’s deathbed only to snatch the latter’s diary containing contact details of the grahastas. Viswanatha vadhyar to had a family to support. And he did support them very well. Unlike the present day mercenaries who have succumbed to greed and are extracting the last drop of blood from the grahastas. Even from those who don’t have the means. And they have supporters in galore in this forum and other for a who justify the greed of these poonool wearing, pot bellied tubs of lard styling themselves as vadhyars.

These lard filled hippos will be forgotten and their diaries will be stolen by their potbellied sishyas,. But benign souls like Vishwanatha Vadhyar will continue to reign with reverence in the hearts of the numerous grihastas (bhaktas, in fact), whose lives they have touched in numerous ways, through acts, too numerous to name, of kindness, charity and love.
