EDITORIAL
Dear Bhagavatas:
The last 3 or 4 weeks have been very hectic for me.
?       Hope you would have enjoyed the postings on Tiruppavai on "One-a-day"
basis throughout the month of Margazhi.
?       A series of lectures were arranged by Bhagavatas in Atlanta area on
consecutive Saturdays on ?Hanumat Prabhaavam? in connection with Hanumat
Jayanti, Aarthi Prabandham of Sri MaNavaaLa Maamunigal and Andal Prabhaavam
in connection with Andal TirukkalyaaNa MahOtsavam in the Hindu Temple of
Atlanta. ADiyEn was also commanded to give a short talk on the Significance
of ?Tirumanjanam? to PerumaaL.
Excerpts of these will be posted in subsequent issues.
?       On 20th January 2006, aDiyEn visited Cleveland to perform the ?Gruha
pravEsam? of my daughter?s new home there.

By the grace of Divya Dhampatis and the blessings of Achaaryas, all the
above events got completed successfully.

SANDHYAVANDANAM CLASSES

Some Bhagavatas have been expressing their desire to learn performing
?Tiruvaradana kramam?. I suggested that they should first learn doing
?Sandhya Vandanam?, if they have had their Upanayanam and for some reason
had missed doing that ?Nitya karma?. I assured them that they need not feel
shy for the omission and that when one was heading in the wrong direction,
the Lord allowed a ?U? turn. But, the bottom line was that once they start
doing now, they should make a firm resolution not to skip doing under any
circumstances.

I was surprised to see at least a dozen people who evinced interest in
learning (in fact, re-learning). I must congratulate them for their honesty
in acknowledging their omissions, for their uninhibited earnestness to join
the classes and for their firm commitment to strictly observe the Nityakarma
in future.

Accordingly, we commenced classes on ?Yajus ? Sandhya Vanadanam? on 20th
January 2006..

A hand out was distributed to them by way of introduction and followed it up
with a presentation on the significance and necessity to do this important
rite.

We include in this Issue the text of the handout for the benefit of other
aspirants who may not be able to attend in person.

THE CLASSES ARE CONDUCTED ABSOLUTELY FREE PURELY AS BHAGAVAT KAINKARYAM.

THE CLASSES WILL BE HELD FROM 11.00 am TO 12.00 noon ON SUCCESSIVE SATURDAYS
FROM 4th FEBRUARY 2006.

Sri N. Krishnamachariar Swami of Chicago has kindly contributed an article
on the ?Upa-nayanam? ritual. We are glad to feature the same in this issue.
