SrI:

namO NarAyaNa 

Dear BhakthAs: 

Today is Sarva EkAdasi and Tomorrow is 
SravaNa DwAdasi . Bhagavan's Janma Nakshathram 
is SravaNam .It is very sacred for meditation on
Sri Oppiliappan and Thirumalai VenkatEsan. 

Tomorrow (March 10) is SravaNa DhvAdasi .
The svaroopam and the UpavAsam on SravaNa 
DhvAdasi day has been discussed at great length
by Padhmam , VishNu PurANam , NaaradhIyam ,
Smruthi Saara Samucchayam , Aniruddha Samhithai
and Dharma Vrutthi. Prakrutham SrImath Azhagiya Singar
discusses this SravaNa DhvAdasi observances with
quotations from the above sources at considerable
length to instruct us on the ways to observe this 
important Vratham. 

The central message is that Sravana DhvAdasi UpavAsam
(Fasting) can be substituted for the regular EkAdasi
UpavAsam as it yields the boons of observing
10,000 Regular EkAdasi UpavAsams.Those who can not 
observe EkAdasi or SravaNa DhvAdasi fasting due to
number of saasthra-accepted reasons are
permitted to take milk, Fruits and other food items
permitted on EkAdasi days. 

On the sacred eve of SravaNa DhvAdasi , adiyEn would like
to dedicate a new Yahoo Group named "Oppiliappan ".
This group is dedicated to focus on the teachings
of ALL Vaishnavite AchAryAs and our 12 AzhwArs .

as well as the SthOthrams of Swamy AlavanthAr,
KurEsar , ParAsara Bhattar, Swamy Desikan will be
some of the topics that will be covered in this 
group mails and exchanges. Fund raising for Dhivya Desams ,
Mutts and AabharaNa Kaimkaryams at individual Dhivya 
Desams will be additional areas of activity.

This group will coexist with all other outstanding private
and Public List groups like Bhakthi List, SrI Ranga SrI , 
ThiruvEngadam ,Malolan ,Nrhari and ParakAla Matam and 
others serving SrI VaishNavA Community around the world .

the above groups on appropriate occasions. AdiyEn will
