Gnana yajna mee

Song sung by Shri. G. Balakrishna Prasad

Gnana yajna mee gathi mokshasadhanamu
nanaarthamulu ninne nadape maa gurudu

An oblation of knowledge is the way to salvation
Only yesterday my Guru conducted and showed me the method.

alari dEhamanEti yAgaSAlalona
baluvai agnAnapu paSuvunu bandhinchi
kalasi vairAgyapu kattula gOsi kOsi
velaya jnAnAgnilO vEliche mA guruDu

In an oblation area called this body
Tie that strong animal called ignorance
Slay it again and again with knives of detachment
And this my Guru offered in the glowing fire of knowledge

mOkkuchu vaiShNavulanE munisaBa gUDapeTTi
chokkuchu SripAda teertha sOma pAnamunu ninchi
chakkagA sankeertana sAma gAnamunu chEsi
yikkuvatO yagnamu sEinche bO mA guruDu

To a gathering of vaishnava bhaktas in the court of saints....With joy offer them the drinks of His Holy Feets sacred water
Entertain them with the songs of SAma veda
My master performed such an oblation in the prescribed way.

tadiyya guru prasAdampu purODAsa michchi
kodadeera dvayamanu kunDalambulu veTTi
yedalO Sri vEnkaTESu nitu pratyakshamu chEse
yidivO swarUpadeeksha yichchenu mA guruDu

My Guru gave his blessing which is my sacred residue of the oblation
He wore the two sacred mantras in his earrings to his hearts content.
With vision of Sri Venkata in his heart
See..My master gave me that Self-Realization knowledge!

teliya cheekaTiki

In this Padam Annamaiah states that God should protect the unfortunate ones instead of helping the fortunate.

P

velugu lOpaliki velugEla ||
Show lamp to remove darkness but why do you show lamp in broad day light.

C 1
araya nApannuniki abhaya meevalegAka
iravaina sukhini gAvanEla
varada bOyeDi vAni vaDi deeya vale gAka
dari vAni diviyaga dAnEla ||
Provide security to the distressed. Why would you protect the one who settled securely. Rescue the one drifting in flood. Why do you protect the one on bank?

miti lEni pApa karmiki dAvalegAka
hitamerugu puNyuni kEla
dhruti heenu grupa joochi tiru vEnkaTEswaruDu
tatiigAva kunDina dAnEla ||
Uplift the sinners. Why bother about wise and pious? If Sri Venkatesa is not merciful to the sufferers, who else would show mercy?

Even a small hut without leakage is enough. A cup of porridge without worries is better. A woman of any caste is better than a characterless beauty. A little wealth with no blemish is more satisfying.

guTTu cheDi manu kanTe konchepu mElaina chAlu

A life without insults is happier, even if it is short. Sinless food is better even if it is just a fistful. A humble life is better than rich infamy life. Contentment is happier than struggling all the time.

vijAtulanniyu vrudhA vrudhA

This video is dedicated at the lotus feet of Sri Srinivasa.
Song sung by Shri G.Bala Krishna Prasad garu

Caste differences exist with body and vanish with body. Soul is unblemished and immortal. All devotees of Srihari who keep him in their conscience belong to the best caste.

dharaNi lOna paratatva jNAnamu
dharma moolamE sujAti ||
Hari is in the conscience of all. Differences are due to eight kinds of pride(due to food,money,women, knowledge, caste,beauty,status and youth). The supreme Yogis rejected them as evils. They realised that transcendental wisdom is the truth and such believers form the best caste.
