Name : K.Ramachandran	Country : Mumbai,India	Event : Namasankeerthanam
Date : all dates during his visit in last two years	Venue : vani vidyalaya(Mulund),Ganesh temple(Ghatgopar)
4 years before i just happened to hear the first volume of Namasankeertanam through my Vedic friend. I contacted many times Govindapuram over phone to know more details(I did not know about your website at that time ),but I could not contact Bagavathar. During my visit to chennai 3 years before,i made it a point to visit govindapuram and did so.But to my dissappointment, my one hour waiting time there coincided with Bagavathar"s busy schedule of pooja time in the evening and hence I could not meet him(as i need to rush to Mumbai immediately) execpt giving my contributions and also purchasing of balance 7 volumes of cassesttes through one of his Shishyas . I Was only left to VISUALISING Bagavathar and his namasankeertanams for another one year through photograph in cassette and audio cassettes. One day i heard his program in VANI VIDYALA,Mulund,MUMBAI .I thought i got the fortune in my life.Afer that wonderful event,i was generally keeping track of his events and was in Krishna gana sabha,Chennai during his NAVARATHIRI Ashtapathi Program.Last year i attended program again in Vani vidyalaya Mulund and Ganesh temple in Garodia Nagar in Ghatgopar. My Daily travel from home,Mulund to my office in powai Larsen &Toubro and by car starts with Namasankeertanams(8 VOLUMES ON ROTATION) of Bagavathar before starting the engine.I volunteer to give lift to people with the only aim to to spread sweet/ lovely/pleasant/Melodious Namasankeertanam music on panadurangan by Bagavathar and inform about the good cause of constructing Temple by Bagavathar in govindapuram.I would love others to enjoy he same way as i enjoy and contribute as i have done for the temple.I eagerly wait for completion of temple at the earliest .I will all the more pleased if i would be allowed to offer my physical service in any manner to Pandurangan Mandir after my retirement.

My Experience / Blessings with Anna (by name we call Guruji) could not be counted. He is Lord Panduranga and there is not even an single doubt on that. I came to know him only for the last 5 years. I feel by then i have already lost my 25 years. But Today i'm really proud that we (my wife Bhuvana also)who is an ardent devotee of anna, that we could serve for our rest of life to Anna. He is so graceful that he showered his countless blessings on both of us and got us married in his own Ashramam at Govindapuram. Coming to Bangalore utsavam / pravachanam (one week on Maha Bhakta Vijayam)he has graced to do our (rather his) grihapravesam and stay at our/his house. The pravachanam was an audience packed -Hall full program dancing to his tunes, the akarshanam (the attraction) that comes from him is inexplicable which can only be realised on presence. Also, i have attended many of his programs, which is audience filled of vittal namas, namasankeertana, bhajans, divine discourses, bhagavata parayana and other spiritual activities. His motive is all the people irrespective of caste should get engaged in chanting of Divine names whereby people attain the Holy bliss. Anna's thinking is very high in nature and incomparable. He is a very simple person and always truthful to his master (Lord Panduranga) for whom he is constructing an temple similar to one at Pandarpur and would humbly request ALL to participate in this noble cause and obtain the blessings. I think there is no end to describe on his qualities and it is infinite...... My humble pranams to my Guruji (Anna).

After a long time, I could see an auditorium fully packed and hearing namasankeerthanam especially after Guruji's mukthi. It was nice to see after atleast a gap of a decade, that namasankeerthanam was heard by bhakthas clapping their hands with full devotion and dedication. Moreso, when deekshidhar is traditionally dressed with crown on his head, big zari dhothi, big garlands and other bhagavathas doing divyanama sankeerthanam. It was an electrifying atmosphere and bhakthas who were the witness will only be able to feel the presence of god.

Date : 1st Aug 05 to 10th Aug 05	Venue : Chennai Kamaraj Auditorium
Oh! What an experience. Direct ranshipment to Pandarpur. Any religious activity must induce the Bakthi Bhava. If it already exists, it must be developed. Sri Dheekshithar's Bakthavijayam did both. My sicere thanks for yielding to my request to sing "Vishamakkara Kannan" on 9th Aug 05. I am obliged. I have already contributed for the temple project from our family and relatives. I shall continue to spread the message. And the lively speach of Brhamma Sri Rama Dheekshithar. What a gentle appeal to contribute for the temple fund (Humor flows so naturally). Until I visited this site I didnot know that Sri Vittal Das is a Nithyagnihothri and his Vajapeya yagam credentials. My namaskarams to him. The highlight of Sri Vittaldas' glory is he is so near the Bhakthas and easily accessable for the geniunely interested bakthas to clarify their doubts, inspite of his greatness. One more happy and proud aspect is, he develops a good shishya parampara for the next generation. I submit my humble pranams to this great Bhagavata. I thank God for giving us a rare breed of Mango fruit which is a combination of the Sengalipuram tradition combined with Sri Haridas Guruji's Bhajan Panthathi nourished by the manure of Sri Krishnapremi Annas Blessings. Radhey Krishna - K. Ranganathan.

Name : V.S.Manian (Kavignar Vaidha)	Country : Chennai, India	Event : Namasankeerthanam
Date : Dec 31, 2004	Venue : Sreenath Kalyana Mandapam, West Mambalam, Chennai
I am V S Manian, hailing from Chennai. I am a follower of Brahmasri Vittaldas Maharaj Guruji of Govindapuram. Shri Guruji's Namasankeerthanams and Upanyasams have a magnetic power on me and I used attend His programmes, whenever and wherever possible, during the past 3 or 4 years. One of such programmes are being organized at West Mambalam, on the occasion of the English New Year, i.e., 31st December night. Even our Guruji Himself once said that celebrating English New Year is odd for aesthetic Tamil devotees like us, we are accepting the trend, as we try to cope with the practical ways of present day life. However, celebrating the birth of the New Year in this way is a completely different experience, which should be experienced to feel the real impact. In fact, I was so inspired and go enthused to write a poem on my experience of such nature. I was fortunate enough to be present during the New Year eve Bhajan programme of our Guruji during the past 3 years. All those who weere lucky to be there would have vouched for the extreme happiness of that wonderful moments. Shri Guruji has the knack of mesmerizing the audience, just with His graceful looks, divine voice and free-flowing Bhajans, without resorting to any gimmicks or tricks. He collects all of our mind, soul and thought and making us to focus on the Almighty alone. When He renders a Bhajan or a Namavali, the whole audience go with Him, sing with Him and clap with Him. There are thousands and thousands of people around the World, who get a false impression of enjoying and inviting the New Year or its arrival, with various cheap or luxurious entertainments of their convenience and choice. But, the lucky few of us, celebrate the same in the presence of our Guruji, in a devotional manner. In those few minutes of hysterical involvement in the Bhajans of our Guruji, we forget what happened in the just-to-end year. We do not bother what will be happening in the forthcoming year. But, we gain confidence that since we start the first seconds of the New Year, singing the Names of God and dancing to the tunes, under the Graceful leadership of our Guruji and His disciplined group of young disciples, that whatever to happen in the coming year, will only be good for us. At the end of programme, at the first minutes of the New Year, our Guruji, Gracefully gives to everyone who attended that programme, a beautiful Photo of Lord Vittal, with which He also gives a Re 1/= coin. The coin should never be valued by its monetary value. It is full of Graceful blessings of our Guruji and Lord Panduranga. Prior to start attending our Guruji's New Year eve Bhajans, I used to be left with very little money, sometimes, even nothing in my wallet on some days. But, then came to me the first coin, blessed by our Guruji. Ever since then, I never went short of money at any point of time afterwards. This is a real experience, which I always cherish.

I am V S Manian, a staunch follower of Brahmashri Vittaldas Maharaj Guruji. I am inspired to narrate another miraculous incident I had with regard to Sri Pandurangan Bhajanasramam, Govindapuram. On 19th of February this year, I was fortunate to visit the Dhakshina Pandaripuram, i.e., Govindapuram, with my family Though I already knew that a massive Temple is coming up for Sri Vittal and Rukmani, at Govindapuram, due to the massive efforts of our Guruji, the enormity of the process sunk in me only on my personally seeing the site and the nature of works going on there. The impact of the majesty of the forthcoming Temple inspired me to decide that I should make as much contribution as possible for me. I am not such a wealthy man to make big contributions. However, both myself and my wife, who is a Doctor, bad a wish that we should make a meaningful humble contribution for the construction of the upcoming Mandir at Govindapuram. My wife had joined the Hospital in which she is employed now during June 2004. At that point of time of our visit to Govindapuram, she had completed almost 7 months of service. We were expecting an increment for her, positively, in the next 4 or 5 months, on her completion of one year of service. During our journey back to Chennai from Govindapuram on 22/02/2005, both myself and my wife had a discussion and made a decision that whenever she gets an increment, we should send an amount equal to the increment she gets, as a humble contribution to our Guruji, for Sri Vittal-Rukmani Mandir, Govindapuram. We were very confident that she will get her increment in the next few months and we will certainly send our contribution. By God's grace and our Guruji's blessings, to our pleasant surprise, within 7 days, i.e., on 28/02/2005, she got her Salary and her Salary was increased by Rs 2,000/=. Immediately, we took a Demand Draft for Rs 2,000/= and sent that to Sri Pandurangan Bhajanasramam, Govindapuram. It is nothing short of a miracle, which was made possible because of God's grace and our Guruji's blessings.

Date : Dec 2003	Venue : Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai
Radhe Krishna! I have been to many of Shri Dikshithar's Upanyasam and Namasankeethans. I am from Chennai and by Guruji's(HH Shri Haridas Giri) Krupa I attend many satsangs here. Shri Dikshithar's recent upanyasam on Geetha Govindham (last year's contn) at Krishna Gana Sabha was fantastic and we have to wait for another 12 months to get blessed to hear again! Namasankeerthanam at Sri Ram Samaj on 31st night was a real great way to start off the new year followed by the Radha Kalyanam at Krishna Gana Sabha. Radhe Krishna!

Today I returned after spending seven days at BRINDAVAN. The trip cannot be explained in words but one has to experience it. We visited all the places were Lord Krishna did something or other. At each places the concerned part from Bagavatham as well explained by Anna. We did Brindavan Parickrama and Govardhan Parickrama an unforgettable event. We also visited Nanda Gokulam were Lord Krishna was taken after his birth at Mathura. We visited the places like -- Kalinga Narthanam, Dhurva Thabas, Rasaleela meeting of Uddhavar and Gopikasthri, Vamsivat (the tree from were Krishna blew his Flute). Radhe Krishna.
