But if a devotee truly craving for the love and devotion towards the Lord cries out his mind in a desolate spot with none watching, Lord rushes to find a place in such a true devotee's heart.

"Krupa samudhra..." - "Samudhram" means ocean, Ocean is so deep and none to this day could accurately gauge its depth, Ocean has almost no boundaries - all we can see is its vastness and limitlessness, when we stand at the sea shore and watch the ocean, all we see is only an infinitisimal part of the ocean and we are unable to see all of it.

GOD USA has his philosophy as its guiding principles.

His key activities are in the direction of educating people of the fact that real happiness is very much within one’s own self and that inner peace and tranquility will naturally lead to universal brotherhood and harmony. Adi Sankara was a great sage and he propounded the Advaita Philosophy (Monism), So were Sri Ramanuja who established Vishistadwaita (Qualified monism) and Sri Madhwa who propounded Dwaita philosophy (Dualism).

Swami Desikan in his great work - daya satakam, describes Thayar's face - on one hand with her beauty and grace she casts a spell on the Lord to accept any soul coming before them and on the other hand she looks at the soul to fall at the Lord's feet. The sea always tries to wet the feet of even those who stay a little away from the waves.

His grace is limitless and ungaugeable. This song is on Srinivasa Perumal in a village near Kumbakonam called Senganur (the historic name is Sankapuri).

"Tava Kinkarasya mama Pranesha" - Sri Swamigal pleads to accept him as a servant, as Sri Srinivasa Perumal is his 'Praneshan' (the Lord of his life)

Sri Swamigal before the temple

"Antharanga Bhaktha Hridhaya Nivasa..." - 'Antharanga Bhaktha' - Intimate devotee , Hridhaya Nivasa - resides in the heart (Resides in the heart of his close and true devotees).

This verse is taken from Srimad Bhagavatham's Amritha Madanam.

Repeating the Lord's names loud in a temple to catch the attention of the crowd, or crying out with apparent devotion to get the appreciation of this world is certainly not to be confounded with true devotion. Now coming back to the story...

"Sri Muralidhara Abhaya prada..." - Srinivasa perumal in Tirupathi has his right pointing to his feet (known as varada Hastham), while the perumal in Sankapuri has his right hand facing upwards symbolising his intent to protect those who look to him for shelter (Abhaya hastham).

Sri Swamiji's Pujamurthy (Deity of worship) Madhurisakhi sametha Sri Premika varadhan (Sri Krishna / Sri Radha Rani) adorn the Bhagavata Bhavanam Hall at Madhurapuri ashram. So since both came from Samudhra rajan, Goddess Laksjmi is referred to here as the sister of Chandra (Moon). His ability to surprise even highly erudite scholars in interpretation of Vedic truths had convinced all , that he speaks not from borrowed bookish knowledge , but purely by his experience arising from highest spiritual realisation (what our Vedas refer as Jivan Mukthi and para Bhakthi).
Swamiji has composed (and is still composing) songs in Tamil and Sanskrit , that are sweet and simple in praising the glories of his Guru and the Lord.

Yet, like other true men of god, he is no fanatic , without even a trace of bigotry in him.

The mission is also managing a school teaching Yajur and Sama Veda to young aspirants ,and is aptly named as Sandipini Gurukulam.

Swamiji's respect and love for Vedas and others ancient scriptures passeth all human understanding.

"Sanka Chakradhara Sankapuri vasa" - the Perumal in Sankapuri - Senganur has counch and discus as his ornamental weapon like in Tirupathi.

The mission regularly honors Vedic scholars , Bhagavathars and Audhuvars. Srimad Bhagavatam and many other scriptures in Sanatana Dharma advocate this as the simplest means to attain the Lord. Later, in one of his conversations , he confided that , all his prayers before the image of his beloved Lord were immediately answered.

His parents - Srimathi Savithri and Sri Rajagopala Aiyyar named him - Muralidharan . The issues with Mahatmas is entirely different, they desparately yearn to isolate themselves from this world, but the Lord keeps pushing them into the world to uplift the masses.
