Congratulations Ramakrishnan and Pavithra!

[PUNARVASU]

My kavithai on the wedding of SRKris.

கார்த்திகை கடை ஞாயிறு. நாளாம்

இன்னன் நாளாம் திரு நாளில்

காரிகை பவித்ராவின் கரம் பிடிக்கக்

காத்திருக்கும் எமது 'எஸ் ஆர் க்ரிஸ்' என்கிற

ராமகிருஷ்ணுக்கு புனர்வசுவின்

கவிதையான வாழ்த்து மடல்

இவ்வினிய நன்னாளில் எமது

இதயம் கனிந்த வாழ்த்துக்கள்

காரியம் யாவிலும் கை கொடுத்து

கணவனின் வாழ்க்கையில் துணை நடந்து

காரிகை பவித்ரா உடன் வர

நம் ராமகிருஷ்ணன் இல்லறமாம்

நல்லறம் தனை இனிதாக நடத்தி

சங்கீத சேவையையும்

செம்மையாகத்தொடற

என் மனம் களித்த (குளிர்ந்த)

வாழ்த்துக்கள்

பதினாறும் பெற்று பெறு வாழ்வு வாழ்கவே.

எனது தந்தை 'வீயெனெஸ்' அவர்களின்

வாழ்த்தும் ஆசியும் இத்துடன்

'தாத்தாவின் ஆசீர்வாதம்' என்கிறார் அவர்

Let me start the congratulatory messages with the Vedic blessing to the happy couples

शतमानं भवतिः शतायु पुरुषश्शतेन्द्रिये
आयुष्येवेन्द्रिये प्रतितिष्ठति | (yajur veda)
(Let the (couple) have 100 times respect (in their company) And have 100 (full) years of life with all the senses
100 times powerful to support them (through life))

..and particularly for Pavithra

इमां त्वमिन्द्र मीढ्वस्सुपुत्राँसुभगां कुरु ।
दशास्यां पुत्रानाधेहि पतिमेकादशं कृधि ॥ (Rig veda)

(Oh! Indra as one showers rain (all riches) you make this woman bear excellent progeny and very lucky.
May she have ten children (i.e., flourishing progeny) and make (her lovingly care for her husband ) as her eleventh child).

Please post your greetings and congratulatory poems here under...

சந்ததி பெருகட்டும்! புகழ் கூடட்டும்!

Did it rain in Trichy yesterday? skris and pavithra ?

[vgovindan]

Accoring to popular belief, it rains on the day of marriage, if the bride had eaten raw rice.

[tkb]

Congrats and shall meet you on the 15th in Chennai

Having known Sri Suryanarayana Iyer Chi Ramakrishnan's great grand father and having worked with Sri Ramanathan his grand father many decades back in the Railways, I sue moto become a member of the bridegroom's family and welcome the bride to the clan with this quotation from Valmiki Ramayanam
.

janakaanaamkule keerthimaashrayasthtithi me sutha seetha bhartharam aasadya ramam dasarathathmajam
which literally means that Seetha having brought fame to Janak's family will similarly bring fame to Dasaratha's family also

Let me not forget at this moment of euphoria , the other hero of the moment Chi Girish (I do not know his “sarman”) and wish him and his bride all the best

May Sri Rama bless the newly weds


I am sure forumites will condone this delayed blessings but they should remember Los Angeles is thirteen and half hour behind Trichy

[cmlover]

Well said veeyens..
Our congratulations are equally applicable to Girish.
I am sure GBL may have attended the same and will enlighten us on the festivities..

[gobilalitha]

Let more bachelors and spinsters of Rasikas get married so that we can have a barrage of kavithas flow from the kavignars of rasikas. gobilalitha

Congratulations, Srkris & Pavithra!

[sridhar_ranga]

Congratulations and best wishes, Srkris and Pavithra.

[arasi]

They looked lovely. The wedding was a joyous event. No frills and fluff. Reminded me of an old-fashioned wedding. All the family singing at Unjal--his father too! The ceremony was conducted with such dignity.
The family was very friendly and welcoming. His parents, siblings and relatives.
My husband and I were delighted to be part of the wedding.
Handsome as srkris is, he tends to look a bit solemn. Pavithra's radiant smile will make him smile more, I am sure!
And the lunch? An excellent, traditional fare. I had seconds of the Olan

[vs_manjunath]

Hearty Congratulations to srkris & pavithra.

[rajeshnat]

Congrats to ramakrishnan and pavithra. Arasi and Krishnan Sir going all the way to trichy is simply too good

[maduraimini]

Best wishes to the newly married couple- Ramakrishnan and Pavithra. Seems to have been a very beautiful wedding from Arasi's mail. May God Bless the couple with a long, happy married life.

[mohan]

Congratulations Ramakrishnan and Pavithra for a life of happiness, health and good music!

[veeyens3]

By this time quite a number of video clippings of the wedding are floating around, ma be it is already in You Tube
But I would like some techie to digitize the sumptuous meal, especialy olan, which came for special mention by Arasi, and share it with us over internet, before the "Advaithin" in Chi. Ramakrishnan manifests itself in the form of a warning that desire is the root cause of al sorrows in the world and that failure to control the sense organs, taste in this case, is an obstacle on my way to self realisatin.

Thus chastised, I control my desires and instead quote the following benediction from Taittriya upanishd

Srir varchaswa mayushya marogya mavida chopamanan mahiyathe, danyam danam pasum bahu putra labam satha samvatsaram dirgamayu

May Sri Rama bless you all

[girish_a]

Veeyens3 Sir,
Thank you very much for your words of benediction. My pranams to you sir.

And to srkris and Pavithra, all the best!

Girish

[arasi]

Girish,

[Ramasubramanian M.K]

Hi Kris/Pavithra: Official Welcome to the Rasikas family- an occasionally fractius group but the uniting factor is our passion for music. Kris has done an outstanding job(not to mention the occasional hand-holding he has had to do with me--a technologically challenged digital luddite!!!). I am sure the two of yu would enrich the forum!!

Best wishes for a long and happy married life--racy and spicy but never bitter!!!!

[Nick H]

It's nice to see Pavithrra joining in the site. Welcome, and adding New Year wishes to the already given marriage wishes (Just missed Christmas!)

[smala]

Nice to see you on board, Pavithra. Looking forward to pics - with rasikas, the already famous kalyAna sApAdu Olan etc., for starving deprived Injuns overseas.

[uday_shankar]
