Gender Mix—Male as Mother

Vaathsya Varadha Guru Amma

Due to want of time I could not post more here

But this episode needs to be posted as it is related to Mother, my obsession

Varadha was an ardent devotee of Sri Ranganathan (Sri Mahavishnu)

Every night he used to offer milk with sufficient sugar which was mixed properly by Varadha and cooled to the optimum level so that my Father Ranganathan can drink as such

One day absent mindedly he offered milk which was hot ( he forgot to shake it to the required warmth)

After offering ( Naivaedhyam ) Varadha felt the vessel and realized vessel itself was with unbearable heat and the milk no need to say anything

He started crying and asked Ranganatha as to how he would have taken that hot milk; his mouth,lips and tongue would have turned sour and he that could be treated

After listening o Varadha, Almighty talked “ Varadha, you have enacted the role of a mother which I experienced from Devaki and Kausalya ; now I get the same care from you; you deserve to be my mother”

From that day Varadha was called “ Vaathsya Varadha Guru Amma “

Amma is tamil means mother

I am also like Mahavishnu as I also take jaganmatha for my mother …..ha ha ha

Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi-Mother, Give me Alms

20 4 2009 Monday



after pravachan on " Om Mantraya Namah " today i went to a sacred thread wearing ceremony of a Brahmin boy;

as per the custom there was a ritual: the boy started asking " Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi " and spread his upper apron to receive the alms; many mothers filled it with rice and cereals

i love that " bhavathi Bhiksham Dehi"

while coming from office i was thinking about various episodes related to that; after bath and prayers i was just watching TV; in one of the serials there was a reference to " Kanagadhara Stotram"

the story is: Adi Sankara went from house to house asking for alms; at one house there was a brahmin lady; sankara said " Bhavati Bhiksham dehi"; she was very poor and had nothing to offer; she cried and searched the entire house to find something to offer Sankara; she was lucky to find a rotten amla( gooseberry) and offered that to Sankara; Sankara was moved to tears and prayed Mahalakshmi ( Kanagadhara Stotram); Devi appeared and after an argument about the " karma " of the woman showered gold.
