Good one. At one point we wanted an animated figure to put thalam for practise. I guess this gentle-ET Looking-bhagavathar can be recruited for this purpose.

- very impressive indeed with the head and body movements captured quite accurately

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 26 Sep 2008, 22:59

Yes, the 'angaceshtais' are so accurate.
They say that the braying of a donkey is good omen whenver you set out on a journey. Nothing is said about the singing of a donkey-this was the first thing in the morning I heard today.Let me see what it brings.

hmmm, a dark-skinned monkey-like figure singing gibberish. but we win, by refusing to be offended.

Venkat,
About horrible bAgavatars, one used to say,
'kazhudaiyAy kattugiRAr'. His singing is like the braying of a donkey. This one does not look like a monkey to me--also, this kazhudai bAgavatar sounds nice, at least for a short spell.

Punarvasu,
Isn't encountering a fox on waking up more of a lucky omen? nari mugattil vizhikkiRadu--not that we get to see them these days, except on the screen!

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 27 Sep 2008, 04:32

arasi,yes; Braying of a donkey is supposed to be good when you are setting out somewhere-a journey or so. I thought 'singing' of a donkey may be good for the journey of life(each day is a journey towards our destination):)

for those of you watching youtube or any video from India SPEED BIT ACCELERATOR is good. YOU WOULD GET INCESSANT VIDEO.

How do you get this ganesh mourthy?

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 28 Sep 2008, 00:55

From shakuna sastram it is claimed that hearing the donkey braying is very auspicious but its sight is inauspicious!
Here is the original stotra

http://rapidshare.com/files/148901813/D ... y.wav.html
Ths phalashruti is
prAtaH kAlE shrutEnnityaM sa hi svargamavApnuyAt |

iti gardabha bhAgavata k^Rita stOtraM sampUrNaM ||

VK may note that in the high frequency the notes used are S R2 G2
Hence any similarity noticeable with vedic recitations is purely accidental

Warning: Only listen and any attempt to imitate the bhagavathar may result in an irreparable damage to the vocal system

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 28 Sep 2008, 01:38

CML:

Since you dragged in vedic chants, may be this bagavathar was outside a vedic school and can not quite contain himself with his own interpretation. In the next incarnation he will be the chief of that school.

CML,
based on your message, if somebody sets out of the house with eyes closed, there are chances that he stands behind a braying gardabha; will it still be auspicious?:(

hi vijay,

SPEED ACCELERATOR is a freeware. google it and you would get it. Install it and run it whenever you watch youtube.

if the video clip is too good generally I download them for later watching.

Dear Punarvasu
Though it is considered inauspicious to look at the Donkey, it is considered auspicious to look yourself into a mirror as soon as you wake-up in the morning

whenever I sang my father used to jocularly comment ' my long eared friend is musically inclined today!'. i was reminded of his comments when i saw the slice.

CML. thanks; and also looking at ones palms-

Hey! I am confused. That looks like me but the music is better than mine! Did someone record a concert of mine that I did not give? Down with unauthorized recordings! This is a blatant attack on artists' rights! I demand that the accompanists be given credit as well! Why should only vocalists be honored thus!
