Krishnam Vande Jagatgurum

THARANGAM
By HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamigal in "Kathai Kelu" Discourse on Marudhanallur
Sadguru Swamigal at Narada Gana Sabha on Jan 11 - Jan 19th 2014

In the Marudhanallur Sadguru sampradayam, during unchavrutthi they will only sing
the Tharangam of Sri Narayana theerthar. Because Sri Narayana theerthar when he
had once come to Tamil nadu, he stayed at Govindapuram, the Adhisthanam of Sri
Bodendra Swamigal. Whilst being there he found the leaves of the Nama Siddhantam
created by Sri Bodendral and having read all that, Sri Narayana theerthar sang them all
as keerthanams collectively called as Tharangam. Narayanatheerthar has sung the
dasama skandam of the Srimad Bhagavatham itself as Krishna Leela Tharangani.

No one has sung the nama siddhantam itself as a keerthanam like this.
Puja, dhyana, yoga, anushtanam in this country, this time, this direction is usually the
norm followed but for namasankeerthanam there is no norms defined.

Rama Krishna Govinda ! Why do you go to allahabad and triveni sangam and perform
snanam, Here ganga is antarvahini with saraswathi joining, there is no need to go
there.

Rama nama gangayA militha krishna nama yAmune govindanama

saraswathiprathithE Rama Krishna Govinda ! If we say rama it begets the same fruit of
bathing in Ganga, if we say Krishna it begets the fruit of bathing in yamuna, if we say
Govinda it begets the fruit of bathing in Saraswathi - namasamprayAke
bAdithadOrasamsara vAranatatkAranE - Rama krishna govinda telling is enough.

Even today in Sri Marudanallur sadguru swamigals nama siddanta tharangam this
particular tharangam will be sung during the taking of unchavritthi.
Narayanatheerthar sang many keerthanams as krishna leela tharangani which is the
10 skandam in the srimad bhagavatham. Although a sanyasi, he used to come to sing at
the varugur srinivasa perumal temple in the night with a tambura. In the night all the
villagers would hear "ehi muham dehi sri krishna mam pahi gopala bala sri krishna" -
please come and give me darshan krishna and give me anandam. The villagers would
object to his song and dance with so many keerthanas being a sanyasi this is against the
sastras. What to do says Narayana theerthar, I don't wish to sing and dance but the
gopalan is not allowing me to.   They reply that this is all your imagination, the
bhagavan is neither asking you to sing or dance. So next day narayana theerthar asks
those who are against him to come to the temple to see for themselves. "Krishnam
kalayasakhi sundaram. While singing like this with anandam, the bhagavans flute and
the sounds of the anklets are heard. They are amazed, whereas narayana theerthar can
see the bhagavan in its real form but they don't have the ability to see so and can only
hear the flute and sound coming from the anklets. Looking at narayana theerthar they
all say its right that bhagavan has indeed called all of us to hear sing and dance.
Because we would have never heard this otherwise any day. "VishnOr gAnantha
nrithyancha natanacha vishEshatahA brahmaNu brahmanacharinam karthavyam
nithya karmavathu". For vishnu, singing and dancing is very vishEsham.
