15th Sreemad Bhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram

Harih Om Tat Sat. We are happy to announce that the 15th Annual SreemadBhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram will be held during the auspiciousMargasheersha, from 23rd December 2016 to 01st January 2017 in ParalikadNaimishaaranyam, the sacred precincts of Thacchanaatthukaavu DeviTemple. Narayanashrama Tapovanam and Hind Navotthana Pratishtan willbe jointly conducting the event.

Sreemad Bhaagavatam holds that Knowledge of the Supreme Truth is theonly means to deliver human mind from taapa-traya, the three-fold afflictionsof the world. Distinct from the usual Sreemad Bhaagavata Saptaahams, thisTattva Sameeksha Satram aims to instill deeper wisdom, universal values andrational insight through the profound thoughts of the great holy Text. Overthe last 14 years, the objective is being fulfilled, every time to a greater degree.

Genesis of the Satram

In 2001, in connection with the inauguration of Annakshetra inThacchanaathukaavu, for serving free food at noon everyday, SreemadBhaagavata Saptaaham was held. When it concluded, some listeners expressedto Poojya Swami Purushothama Tirtha and me, their eagerness to be exposedto the lofty text in greater depth, so that its message will become part of theirdaily life and interactions. It was then that we gave shape to the SreemadBhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram.

Programme details

Over 30 distinguished exponents – Sannyaasins and Scholars – will beexposing the precious value-treasure. In addition to 5 lectures, mostly inMalayalam every day, there will be full recital (paaraayanam) of the originalSanskrit Text, spread over ten days. Additionally, English talks also will bethere on 28th, 29th and 30th, keeping in mind those who would be attending theevent from other States and abroad.

On Dec 26 Monday, 5155 students would participate in a collectiveVishnusahasranaama Japotsava commemorating the 5155th year of Vishnu-sahasranaama stotra, the sterling cultural legacy bequeathed by Bheeshma toYudhishthira. The session would begin by 9 in the morning and concludeafter prasada distribution by around 1 o’ clock.

On Dec 28 Wednesday, before celebrating Rukmini Swayamvara in theevening, we propose to conduct ‘social marriages’ for which some requestshave been received.

On the concluding day, 01 Jan Sunday , Vishnusahasranaama archana andhavan will start by 9 and conclude with distribution of prasaada, by 2 pm.

Devotees coming from various parts of India and abroad can participate inthe event with the sankalpa that the entire humanity should be blessed withprosperity, solidarity and inner strength.

Those who are unable to sit on the floor will also be able to participate inthis mahotsava, with special facilities being made for sitting on the chair andperforming the archana with akshata on plates distributed for the purpose.

Spreading the awareness

Proceeding with our plan as in the previous years, this year also threeyaatras (processions) are organized for bringing (i) Sri Krishna idol fromGuruvayur (ii) Dharma Dhvaja from Thiruvilwamala, and (iii) SreemadBhaagavata Grantha from Narayanashrama Tapovanam to the Satrashaala.These processions will form part of the General Dhaarmic Awakening measures.En-route, the yaatras will be received and welcomed by votaries of Dharmawith bhojana-dravya-samarpanam (offering of materials for anna-daana).

Essay writing, Sreemad Bhaagavata Hymns recital, and elocutioncompetitions are also being arranged for children of different age groups, toimbue a lasting effect in the society.

This year the shloka recitation will be based on Bhaagavatam 2nd Skandha,7th chapter. 1st ten shlokas will be for Juniors, and seniors will recite shlokas26 to 46. Devotion of Akrura and advice of Rishabha will be the topics foressay competition. Elocution Competition will be on the story of Krishna, theVrindavan boy putting Indra to shame and also Mahabali’s sacrifice ofKingdom.

Jnaana yajna being far superior to material Yajnas, participating in orsupporting this Knowledge Festival elicits the best of Divine blessings.
