Dear RaamAnuja DaasAs and Daasis :
Today is the day after the Thirunakshathram of
Udayavar . adiyEn is very pleased to let you
know that we have assembled the needed
funds for the Kaimkaryam at SriperumbhUthUr .
In grateful appreciation of the support given by
many RaamAnuja Daasars from all over the world ,
adiyEn will share wqith you an excellent write up
on AchArya RaamAnujA's life and Vaibhavam.
In the latest issue of Sri RanganAtha PriyA ,
Sri U.Ve. Purisai Veeravalli VaradadEsikAcchAr
Swamy of Pondichery has provided a detailed
chronological account of the life & Kaimkaryams of
AchArya RaamAnuja .
adiyEn thought of translating the essay of Purisai Swamy
as a PrathyupahAram for all the upakArams done for
the SriperumbhUdhUr Kaimkaryam by many RaamAnuja
BhakthAs to assemble close to 4 Laks of Rupees for that kaimkaryam.
This is the least adiyEn can do in recognition of the support by all
the particpants .
