NITYAGNIHOTRI VAITHIKASRI NANNILAM SRI RAJAGOPALA GHANAPATIGAL ATTAINED THE LOTUS FEET OF SUPREME SITARAMA

It is very shocking to hear that  Nityagnihotri Vaithikasri Nannilam Sri Rajagopala Ganapatigal suddenly passed away on 24th December 2019.

Sri Rajagopala Ganapatigal was a great Vedic scholar who was instrumental in spearheading the propagation of Sanatana Vaidic dharma. He was an expert in dharma Sastras and astrology. He was instrumental in many laukika Brahmanas doing Sandhya Vandanam and Pitru Tarpanam. He tirelessly propagated the performance of Shannavati Pitru Tarpanam. 

Sri Rajagopala Ganapatigal  started and popularized  the  Magazine "Vaithikasri" exclusively devoted for performance of  Vedic rituals, nuances regarding Karmanushthana and worship of various deities. His discourses clarified many of the doubts of the Brahmana community members in the  performance of rituals, dharma sukshma and so on. He has published  many Books which deal with various aspects of  Dharma, Karma, Mantra , Puja and so on.

He was the founder of  Sri Sri Seetharama Gurukulam Veda Patasala  which was started at the command and blessings of His Holiness Sri Paramacharyal of Kanchi. 

His untimely loss  has created a great void in the Vedic community  which is very difficult to be filled by any one.

It is a great personal loss for all of us who have been so kindly blessed by him all along.

We deeply mourn the great loss and offer our deepest condolences to his family members.

SRI GODA AND SRI RADHA

SrI RAdhA is MahAlakshmI in the form of NIlA DevI. She is worshipped with intense prema bhakti bhAva by AzhvArs and AndAl (GodA) as Nappinnai. She is also fondly adored as Pinnai. Pinnai MaNAlan is verily RAdhA Vallabha.

Along with chanting of TiruppAvai , chanting of SrI RAdhA KrupA katAksha Stava helps one to gain the bliss of Krishna katAksha and His divine association.

SrIgovindapriyAm rAjnIm vrndAvana manoharIm ।

I offer my respectful obeisances to the Goddess Sri Radha Devi, Sri Krishna’s beloved Queen, the source of the beauty of Brindavan, who is auspicious and is of the form of mercy.

SrIrAdhikAkrpApAtrAm vishNucittasutAm sudhAm ।

SrIkrshNapremamagnAm tAm godA devIm namAmyaham ॥

I offer my respectful obeisances to SrI Goda DevI (AndAl) who is blessed by SrI RAdhA DevI (in the form of NIla DevI), the nectar like daughter of SrI Vishnu citta (PeriyAzhvAr), immersed in Sri Krishna Prema Bhakti.

23. செய்யா மொழிக்குந் திருவள் ளுவர்மொழிந்த

24. ஓதற் கெளிதா யுணர்தற் கரிதாகி

RADHASHTAMI Celebrations - 6 September 2019 - Friday

Sri  Radha is none other than Sri Mahalakshmi, who out of great compassion, facilitates the individual Self to get the divine grace of the Supreme Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the glorious Yogesvara. According to the Scriptures, the best way to approach Sri Krishna is through first obtaining the grace of Sri Radha. Even a grave sinner gets redemption through her ceaseless divine grace and becomes purified to serve the lotus feet of Sri Radhakrishna. Let us not miss this opportunity to offer our humble and sincere prayers to the ever fresh and fragrant queen of Brindavan. On this most auspicious Radhashtami  day, may Sri Radha shower her blessings on all. 

श्रीगोविन्दप्रियां राज्ञीं वृन्दावनमनोहरीम्।
