Sri Matre Namaha
Introduction to the series
The mother of the whole universe, Goddess Bhudevi incarnated herself as Godadevi or Andal on this earth and with Her abundant compassion gifted us a small yet powerful treatise named Tiruppavai.
This is a collection of thirty hymns (Pasuram) in Tamil written by Andal or Goda Devi, in praise of the Lord Perumal, (Vishnu). It is part of the Divya Prabandha, a work of the twelve Alvars, and is important in Tamil literature.
In this video, Dr Ramesh Krishna speaks on the 5th Pasuram. Goda Devi praises Krishna as someone who does wonderful deeds in an inimitable way.
Godā in this verse teaches the means of devotional service; — making simple offerings of flowers, chanting Kṛṣṇa's name and silently meditating upon His refulgent form. The result of such spiritual practice is the absolution of sins and the attainment of spiritual purity.

About Guruji Amritananda
=============================================
Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Dr. Prahlada Sastry) (1934 - 2015) is a respected nuclear physicist who, after having received life-changing vision of Bala Tripura Sundari, left his prestigious job of 23 years at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) to become a #SriVidya Upasaka and Guru. He was chosen by Devi to build the world's only temple in the form of a 3 dimensional Sri Yantra, at #Devipuram 35kms from the city of #Visakhapatnam. The Sri Yantra Maha Meru has images of all the Khadgamala Goddesses which one can worship and interact with directly. The Kamakhya Guru Peetham is a sacred place at Devipuram where Guruji had many darshans of and received ancient teachings from Goddess Kamakhya. At Her behest, Guruji made the teaching of Sri Vidya an essential part of his mission and strongly believed that everyone regardless of caste, creed, religion, nationality or gender should have access to this Vidya. He left no stone unturned in demystifying the complex rituals, creating easy formats for everyone to understand and practice. Guruji also started many social empowerment programs to help society at large. With numerous loving disciples all over the world, Guruji and his wife, Srimati Annapurnamba (lovingly known as Guruji Amma) have dedicated their lives to the service of the people. In October 2015, Guruji merged with the Divine Mother leaving behind a great legacy.
