A Divine Experience

It was a lazy afternoon.I was in a very deep sleep. I was sleeping so deeply, that too, in an afternoon after so many months. In next to no time, I started dreaming . I saw a light approaching me and I could hear Jesudas's Harivarasanam in my dream. I have only vague memories of my dream, but it was a divine journey.Was my spiritual experience real or mere figment? No matter what, I enjoyed it.

I first listened to Harivarasanam in a dance program in my school.It was only then that song caught my fancy. It is a favorite divine number for many like me. For the uninitiated, Harvarasanam is a lullaby rendered by Jesudas for Lord Iyyappa. It is played in Iyyappa temples before closing for the day.It is Jesuda's signature song. This song alone pulls a huge crowd for his music programs during the Marghazhi season in Chennai. Of late, we play Harivarasanam at home in our MP3 player in the evenings . Jesuda's divine voice sets a feel-good mood and takes us for a divine ride. It creates a calming effect in our minds. I feel light after listening to it in a packed day. I would recommend Jesudas's Harivarasanam as a must listen to all.
