Dear
Bhagavathas,
Sri Ramanuja Mission
of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam is pleased to announce that with the
help of many sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan,
grand celebrations of this great Acharya's Centenary Thirunakshatram all over
USA and in Mid-east and Singapore have been planned. Please look at the chart
below for location details. If your location/vicinty is not listed and you would
like to host, please reply back to adiyen to coordinate further. Like in
the previous years, this will benefit all bhagavathas to congregate at a
single place in their vicinity and celebrate the Acharyan Thirunakshatram
together with grandeur. Details such as venue, in some locations are still
being ironed out. The updated information will be posted at http://www.ramanujamission.org as it
gets finalized. Bhagavathas in the vicinity are also requested to contact the
coordinator for further details.
Plans are on for
grand celebrations of the Thirunakshatram in Srirangam, India from March 20 -
28. The actual Thirunakshatram of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan (Panguni
Pushyam) falls on Wednesday March 28. Srimath Andavan Ashramam is planning to
web cast the proceedings on March 28, LIVE. Details will be announced later.
Sri Ramanuja Mission
requests that all Acharya Sambhavana for this occasion be mailed by bhagavathas
in USA with a check payable to "Sri Ramanuja Mission" and mailed
to
14433
Settlers Landing Way, MD 20878. Bhagavathas living outside may directly send their
sambhavana to Ashramam in India.

Srimathe Vedantha Ramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Srimathe Ranganatha Divyamani Padukabhyam Namaha
Dear
Bhagavathas, sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Thirukkudanthai
Andavan,
Exactly
one month from now on March 28, 2007, we will be celebrating the CENTENARY
(101st Thirunakshatam - Sathamaana Mahotsavam) of one of the greatest Acharyas
of our times Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan of Srirangam Srimath Andavan
Ashramam. At about the same time now next month, many great present Srivaishnava
Acharyas led by Srimath Srimushnam Andavan will be assembled at Srirangam with
thousands of sishyas and abhimanis for celebrating Thirukkudanthai Andavan's
centenary Thirunakshatram in a Grand and fitting manner.
Srimath
Thirukkudanthai Andavan was in the acharya peetam for 26 years (5th April 1963-
10th April 1989) covering the length and breadth of Bharatha desam on foot
to spread our great Ramanuja philosophy of Saranagathy to Emperumaan Lord
Sriman Narayana. One should remember Swami
Desikan's testimony that not even our Lord Narayana can try to repay
an Acharyan for all the upakAram he does to his sishya, for enlightening with
knowledge and dispelling the darkness. Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan has done
Mahopakaram to not only his sishyas but to our entire srivaishnava
community. His entire life both before His ascension to acharya peetam
as Kannan Swami and after the ascension as Thirukkudanthai Andavan was a
truly golden period in the modern history of Srivaishnavam. Srimath Andavan's
scintillating upanyasams brought back thousands of bhagavathas from all
sects of sishya parampara from both kalais to the main fold wherever he
went, and made them realize the greatness of our sampradayam. If not for
great acharyas like Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan, many srivaishnava families
would have veered away into modernism and lost the treasure that is our
sampradayam, forever. The Mahopakaram that Srimath Andavan has done to our
sampradayam cannot be repaid back by any measure. But as a small way of paying
back for an Acharyan's upakaram, let all of us all Srivaishnavas from all kalais
and all sishya parampara join hands together and sing the praise and glory of
this mahaan and celebrate His centenary Thirunakshatram in a grand
manner.
Sri
Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan
Ashramam plans to celebrate the Centenary in a grand manner and
coordinate the celebrations in many locations through out USA and abroad during
the weekend of March 24-25 and March 31-April 1. We request sishyas and
abhimanis in all nooks and corners of USA and all other
places outside India to come forward and host the Thirunakshatram with
other srivaishnavas, sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan
living in and around the cities together as a single family. For those
needing guidance on what to do and how to celebrate, we plan to make it
easy by mailing out CDs that has traditional parayanam and sambhavanai
kramam, that is easy to play and follow together. Please reply back to
Adiyen (shyam.sreenivasan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
/ shyam.sreenivasan@xxxxxxxxx)
with your contact details as soon as possible so that we can plan
for a memorable celebration.
