*sac-cid-ānanda-rūpāya viśvotpaty-ādi-hetave | *tāpa-traya-vināśāya śrī-kṛṣṇāya vayaḿ Numaha ||* - PADMA PURANAM
We offer our Humble obeisances unto Lord Sri Krishna, whose transcendental form is Truth, Knowledge, and Bliss personified. He is the cause of the creation, maintenance and destruction of the universe and the destroyer of the three types of miseries.
*Sarva-Mangala-Maangalye Shive Sarvaartha-Saadhike | Sharannye Trya[i-A]mbake Gauri Naaraayani NamostuTe ||* - DEVI MAHATMYAM
Salutations to You O Narayani Who is the Auspiciousness in All the Auspicious, Auspiciousness Herself, Complete with All the Auspicious Attributes, and Who fulfills All the Objectives of the Devotees (Purusharthas - Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha),Who is the Giver of Refuge, With Three Eyes and a Shining Face; Salutations to You O Narayani.

Oh our mind!! Let us recite the great name of Swami Ramanuja which is the easiest and greatest and the one which can give both Drishta and Adhrishta Phalam. Scholars who had learnt all four Vedaas and shaastra failed to realize the supreme power and took refuge at the feet of Swami Ramanuja. One who gave his entire life to the lotus feet of Swami Nammazhwar, who rendered mouthfuls of praise for the lord who bears the lotus dame Lakshmi on his chest and also followed his footsteps in experiencing the divine Anubhavam
. Let us take refuge at the lotus feet of this Swami Ramanuja who was praised by all the great scholars of shaastra.
H.h. Pujyasri. Nadhamuni Narayana Ayyangar
H.H. Nadhamuni Narayana Ayyangar (Nana ji) was a mysterious mystic. Once, when I asked him about His Guru, He didn’t directly answer me. I was present in his Pooja room, a close disciple of his visited him at that time. Nana ji told him to have his dinner with Him. When the visiting friend said he is in Upavasa on Fridays, for Lord Narasimha, Mama told him,
Don’t worry, I will tell your Narasimha. He won’t mistake you. Have your dinner, stay with me tonight and you can leave tomorrow morning. Regarding His Guru, like Dattatreya, He had several Gurus. First and foremost, I can think of Shri J Swamigal, whose instructions he would meticulously follow. There are several instances. Similarly Swami Ritajananda of Sri Ramakrishna Mutt. Swamiji has guided Him for several mystical tasks. There are many. In the course of our lengthy conversations, He had narrated many incidents concerning men and matters. He would underline the morale from each person’s life. How can you explain a Vaishnava having a statue of Lord Siva in his Bhajan Hall? To me He is God in disguise"
