Respected sirs, I could not control my laugh after reading "Nellinekathe Kuru(seed inside paddy) for hours. If the Nampoothiri said Aari( rice) God might have considered it as Hari, which the mother intended.
At least Ajamila got moksham by calling his son Narayana in his last moments . But one in our community may think- why should I call?

I am more familiar with the naaraayaneeyam of another namboothiri, Shree Melpathur Naarayana Bhattathiri, who in his 27th year condensed the entire vishnu bhaagavatham of about 18,000 verses into a hundred cantos of 1034 verses. I am also familiar with the story of super-villain Ajaamila (we have one such in our community) who lived a life of unspeakable atrocities, offences, crimes and sins, and was saved from the clutches of yama-doothas by pure accident in his last moments because he called upon his son named Naaraayana when in his throes before death. But, how many of us can remember to utter the names of Bhagavaan Sree Naaraayana or of Lord Shiva (Hari and Hara) at the last moment of our own lives?

At the same time let us not fail to appreciate , adore and applaud the clarity, candidness and competence of Narayanaswami Anna for his prolific scholarly output, when, almost all if us , at his age wouid be in adult diapers struggling to even breathe, leave alone remembering our own names . So what if Anna chides us, scolds us and , at times , resorts to certain "theri words" let's take it as Aashirvadam and benefit FROM his wisdom Remember, it's not very iften that God gifts brilliant andanars like our Narayanaswamy Anna. Let's consider ourself fortunate and blessed to have a great soul like our beloved Anna in our midst. Let's pray to God Almighty to grant many more years to Anna so that he can continue informing us, educating us and enriching us On Thu, 28 Dec, 2023, 9:02 pm gopala krishnan, <[email protected]> wrote: Respected Mr Sarma, I appreciate very much the last line- Let's ring down the curtain of charity on things that only the Almighty can change and open the Christian New Year on a more charitable note Also the beautiful legend about Nampoothiri- I could imagine many things from the legend Gopalakrishnan On Thursday, 28 December, 2023 at 08:15:02 pm IST, Laxminarayan Sarma <[email protected]> wrote: Dear GopalaKrishnan-ji What is chronic, congenital and is part of a guy's DNA cannot be wished away Reminds me of a foul-mouthed Namboodiri of easy virtue, whose vocabularly would turn EVEN a a sailor's face red with shame This guy lay on his deathbed. Concerned that he should get satgathi after death', his pious aunt, wanted him to at least make him utter the word Hari. Now the word Ari (rice) is phonetically closest to Hari. So she picked up a grain of Ari and asked him what it was But the inveterate man, grinned at her and replied, "Nellil ulla kuru", meaning, The Grain in the Husk" Let's ring down the curtain of charity on things that only the Almighty can change and open the Christian New Year on a more charitable note On Thu, 28 Dec, 2023, 6:05 pm APS Mani, <[email protected]> wrote: Simply beautiful and befitting brief.

Sri L S thought I was not fair in my first Mail and my response that I neither supported nor criticized anyone in particular but appealed to all in general, seems to have satisfied him. As stated by another member in Tamizh, let us leave bygones as bygones and move on, leaving this episode behind us. I am writing this because you have mentioned my name in your Mail and I don't want to be dragged into another discussion, even if unwittingly, one that can turn bitter. You just saw the Quote I sent earlier today " Too much discussions lead to Quarrel" and let us avoid further discussions on this subject - we have had too much already. Please, let us get on with life.

Mr Narayanaswamy, a member 98 years has expressed regret, LN Sarma expressed regret. I have also expressed regret for any sort of messages if appeared disturbing to Mr Rajaram. But it is astonishing that nothing came from Mr Rajaram who is the first one to start abusing in Tamil. Now his response is why should he regret and he is targeted by others.Poor Mr Rajaram- He will drink water too by chewing!!! So it appears Mr Rajaram is not going to regret as usual. In earlier two occasions too Mr Narayanaswamy expressed regret. Mr Rajaram did not expressed any regret. All the efforts taken by other members have become FUTILE again. If Mr Narayanaswamy or any other member respond sarcastically to Mr Rajaram, the reason is never admitting mistakes and abusing others by Mr Rajaram. Not late- Without finding fault with Mr Sekar etc, I request Mr Rajaram to express regret for his abusing mails. If not, he is targeted does not carry any meaning. The person who ate salt will have to drink more and more water Gopalakrishnan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
