Happy 67th Vyasapuja Mahotsava, I Was invited to attend your lecture at ISKCON Vellore Temple by Your Disciple His Grace Dinadayal Prabhu, I was not able to attend on account of the Michaug Cyclone near Chennai and Surrounding Districts, we have experienced various sufferings in the past during cyclones ISKCON Chennai was also inundated suffering losses in lakhs, these types of natural calamities are a recurring phenomenon on account of movements of planets, in the 5th Canto Srimad Bhagavatham Sukadeva Gosvami Mentions about the cause for rain and cyclone.
ŚB 5.22.12
Some 1,600,000 miles above this group of stars is the planet Venus, which moves at almost exactly the same pace as the sun according to swift, slow and moderate movements. Sometimes Venus moves behind the sun, sometimes in front of the sun and sometimes along with it. Venus nullifies the influence of planets that are obstacles to rainfall. Consequently, its presence causes rainfall, and it is therefore considered very favourable for all living beings within this universe. This has been accepted by learned scholars.
ŚB 5.22.13
Mercury is described to be similar to Venus, in that it moves sometimes behind the sun, sometimes in front of the sun and sometimes along with it. It is 1,600,000 miles above Venus, or 7,200,000 miles above Earth. Mercury, which is the son of the moon, is almost always very auspicious for the inhabitants of the universe, but when it does not move along with the sun, it forbodes cyclones, dust, irregular rainfall, and waterless clouds. In this way, it creates fearful conditions due to inadequate or excessive rainfall.
ŚB 5.22.14
Situated 1,600,000 miles above Mercury, or 8,800,000 miles above Earth, is the planet Mars. If this planet does not travel in a crooked way, it crosses through each sign of the zodiac in three fortnights and in this way travels through all twelve, one after another. It almost always creates unfavourable conditions with respect to rainfall and other influences.
My uncle Late Kirubanandam, Was working for the Postal Department, Government of India, He was also a Reciter of Mahabharatham in Temples During Festivals following in the footsteps of his Father Kuppusamy He Was an ideal family man He had 4 daughters he got 3 of them married to a suitable groom, He had 4 granddaughters and, 1 daughter is mentally sick. He has been helping us in the Worship of Lord Jagannath by providing Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, etc.
During his Retirement Days, He was Working on his own Farm Producing Groundnuts, Paddy, Vegetables, Fruits Etc Recently I Discussed his Farm Activities with Tejiyas Prabhu Srila Prabhupada Disciple, He was a resident of Polipakkam Village, Sholinghur Taluk, Ranipettai District, Tamil Nadu. near Sholinghur Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple He was a pious soul. Please pray for the departed soul.
As I reflect upon my journey on the path of Krishna consciousness, I realize that time is a powerful factor that both unites and separates us. However, I am grateful for the time that I spent practising Krishna consciousness under the guidance of your disciple, His Grace Akinchana Krishna Prabhu, at ISKCON Vellore from 2017 to 2019. It was during this time that I was able to deepen my understanding of the teachings of Lord Krishna and develop a deeper connection with Him.
In the year 2019, I was formally initiated by my guru Maharaj His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaja at ISKCON Sheshadripuram, which was a truly transformative experience for me. However, during the same time, my elder brother got married, and I had to handle envious household political affairs which kept me busy.
Overall, I am grateful for the spiritual guidance and support that I have received from ISKCON and your disciples, which has helped me to grow and progress in my spiritual journey. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for me to visit ISKCON Vellore lately, but I've been keeping up with the spiritual teachings through the videos available online. I've been particularly interested in topics related to Grihastha Ashrama and Grhastha Issues.
I've been productive with my time by transcribing my lectures and compiling them into a book on Grihastha Ashrama. I'm also creating educational content for my YouTube channel,
Once again, thank you for inviting me to the 67th Vyaspuja Mahotsava
Your Humble Servant
