Maha Periyava Jayanthi – Smt. Sowmya’s Special Drawing!

Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara – We have heard many incidents about our Periyava doing japam in Gosalas or cow sheds often including a historic meeting with Mahathma Gandhiji at a Cowshed in Nellichery. However we have not seen pictures of those (I can hardly recall seeing one or two). On this very auspicious Maha Punniya Kaalam (124th Maha Periyava Jayanthi) let’s savor this rare sketch from Smt. Sowmya visually depicting how Periyava would have performed the japam at the most auspicious place. Periyava’s thapas and Gho Mathas innocence has been beautifully captured. People who live in Bharatha Desam have the opportunity of visiting a nearby Ghosala and feed Gho Mathas as well as do Bhagawan Nama Japam on this Maha Jayanthi day. Equivalent to doing crores of Japam as told by our Periyava below. Again, Kudos to Sowmya for the great drawing! Rama Rama

தன்னிடமிருந்து த்ரவியங்களைக் கொடுத்து யஜ்ஞ ரக்ஷையைச் செய்கிற கோ, எதையும் கொடுக்காவிட்டாலும் தன்னுடைய ஸாந்நித்ய மாத்திரத்திலேயே மந்த்ரங்களை ரக்ஷித்துக் கொடுக்கிற வல்லமை வாய்ந்ததாக இருக்கிறது. அதனால் தான் மாட்டுக்கொட்டிலில் ஜபம் செய்தால் கோடிப் பங்கு (மடங்கு) பலன் என்பது. கோஷ்டம்’ என்ற மாட்டுக் கொட்டிலை போன்ற பரிசுத்தமான ஸ்தலம் எதுவும் இல்லை. – ஜகத்குரு ஸ்ரீ சந்திரசேகரேந்திர சரஸ்வதி ஸ்வாமிகளின் அருள் மொழிகள்

The cow which protects the yajnas by giving the important materials needed for the same has the power to protect the efficacy of the manthras by its mere presence. That is why it is said that doing Japam inside a cow shed yields crores of times the benefit that normally accrues. There is no place as pure as a ‘Goshtam’, the cattle shed. – Jagadguru Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal
