WELCOME ADDRESS- Brahma Vidya Sathram - 2016

Very dear brothers and sisters

With immense pleasure and warmth of love, we welcome all of you here this day to partake in the BRAHMA VIDYA SATHRAM on behalf of Nagarsanpettai Sri NithyaKalyani Trust and RitanbharaGnana Sabha. This conference is being conducted by the humble, earnest and thirsty seekers of truth to facilitate one and all to attain higher echelons
in the realms of spiritual enlightenment. We have several scholars to share with us their invaluable knowledge on various aspects of Brahma Gnana – self-realisation, the quintessence of which is seamlessly ingrained in the Sri Vidya Upasana.

By the grace of Sri GurumandalaRoopini Sri LalithaMaha Tirupurasundari, it has been decided to invade into the divine and blissful vistas of Brahma Gnanathrough this revered BRAHMA VIDYA SATHRAM event.

This year, the Ritanbhara Jnana Sabha, entering into 28th year, and Nagarsanpettai Sri Nithya Kalyani Trust (Regd.) have joined together to organise this BRAHMA VIDYA SATHRAM with assortment of programs to bejewel the meet.

The relevance of this august conference in the present world could be well appreciated in the context of the notion of universal peace,tolerance,compassion and empathybeing intensely affected by relentless conflicts amongst nations and the alarming increase in the repulsive,unethical,immoral and unlawful acts by individuals all over the world.

The conferences of this nature are bound to promote a sense of goodwill, brotherhood and divinity thus smoothly paving way to establish universal peace and harmony for betterment of humanity. It would be appropriate to remind ourselves what lord Buddha saidonce, “Just like a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life”.

May this sacred congregation offer you the perfect platform to initiate to grow spiritually and infuse an instinctive desire to be enlightened with attaining salvation?


This meet would provide means to rescue ourselves from the medley of problems with which we have been encircled by imbibing divine consciousness and motivate to become active practitioner of the blissful upasana.

If initiated in proper perspective, the Sri Vidyaupasana is known to endow the practitioner to blissfully experience the merging of the self with that of eternal universe.It is also believed that whoever is privileged to obtain initiation into Sri vidyaupasana would not have rebirth. The upasana, involving reciting mantras and ritually complex meditations, creates a methodical, systematic and esoteric discipline imbibing finer elements of knowledge, devotion and rituals.The upasana would result in the experience of blissful,absolute divine truth bringing in peace, tranquillity and satisfaction in all spheres of our life facilitating to free ourselves from the temporal pursuits.

Let us join together and wish this sacred conference a grand success while blissfully submerge in the ocean of divine discourses to reap pearls of spiritual wisdom!

Kumari Subadra Venkateswaran of New Delhi rendered this song written by Sri Naka Sundaram at the time of conclusion function of Brahma Vidya Sathram-2016

இனிஒரு பிறவி எனக்கில்லை இனிமேல்
இதை அறிவாய் மனமே

பஞ்சேந்திரியக் கூடு பரமனிருக்கும் வீடு
அஞ்சாமலே தேடு அவனிருப்பான் பாரு
தஞ்சமென்றே நாடு தந்திடுவான் பேறு
நெஞ்சத்திலே நின்று நானறிய வைத்தான் கேளு

விஷயத்தில் நாட்டமெல்லாம் விடுபடலாச்சுது
விஷமான ஸஙகல்பத்தின் வேரறுந்து போச்சுது
உஷத்கால சூரியனாய் உள்ளம் தெளியலாச்சுது
ஒளஷதமாம் குருபாதம் அவனியெல்லாம் ஆச்சுது

வலிமைமிகு மாயை விடுபட்டதே பாவம்
கலிகால துர்குணங்கள் கலைந்தது மாச்சரியம்
புலிபோலே வைராக்யம் தொலைந்தது மோஹம்
வலையாகும் ஞானத்தினை விரித்ததே வேதம்

எண்ணங்கள் எதுவுமில்லை எழும்பி வருவதற்கு
திண்ணமாய் தடையுமில்லை தத்துவம் தெரிவதற்கு
உண்ண உண்ண தெவிட்டாத ஞானாநந்த மாவதற்கு
பண்ண வைத்தான் பைரவியில் பாட்டிதை கேட்பதற்கு
(பண்ணமைத்தான் பைரவியில் பாட்டிதை கேட்பதற்கு)

நமஸ்காரம்.
