Sri:

Humble pranam to all devotees of the LORD:

Kainkairyams of Sri Ramanuja Mission in the USA from the eyes of an outsider.
============================================================
The Kaimkaryams of Srimath Andavan's sihyas in USA under the leadership and 
guidance
of Ramanuja Mission, clearly show by action their sincere dedication, and 
service to their AchAryan.

In doing so they have been serving others in the community for the past
7+ years with satsanghs and educational programs via the tele-bridge and
in person.  Their active members in many parts of the country is a boon to 
many
budding devotees. Many of adiyen's personal friends have been the beneficiary
of this great institution.

===>  Ramanuja Mission as a pioneer in leading in some of the activities:

=> *  Paduka ThiruAradhanam of all of the Acharyas of Srimath Periyandavan 
of Srirangam
   and padukas of other mutts and current day acahryas (eg: HH Sriman 
Narayana Chinna Jeeyar Swami).

This is a rare blessing to get and every recepient should be be grateful 
and thankful to Sri RamanujaMission Inc for
allowing us to receive the blessings of all the padukas,

* Desika Prabhandam and Azhvar Prabhandam Classes on Tele-bridge

Sri Ramanuja Mission started teaching the classes in a very organized way, 
and many students
have benefited.  Adiyen learnt some of the Desika Stothrams from Sri KM 
Narayanan.

* The Desika Stotra Mala CD

Sri Ramanuja Mission, released the Desika Stotra Mala CDs chanted by Sri 
Shyam and Venkat Sreenivasan.
I received the copy and still hear them at adiyen's home. This was the 
first such audio set released anywhere
with such a clarity in pronunciation, intonation and recording.

*   Honoring both kalais and all acharyas by chanting their tanains/ 
satthumurai etc.

Personal experience:  The first time we had the honor and blessings to work 
with Sri Ramanuja Mission
was in October 2000, when we had the joint Acharya Thirunakshatram in 
Chicago, with about
200 sri vaishanva particiapants, with 70 particiapants from our of town.
The enthusiasm and acharya bhakthi in each and every one of the Ramanuja 
Mission
team members was vibrantly visible from the time we received them at the 
airport.
[The scene of first few young men coming out of the terminal,
sri Shreyas Sarangan, KV Narayanan, Shyam & Venkat Srinivasan, Srikant,
(with Thiruman Kappu and a pleasant smile at the airport is still in my eyes.]
At this function, the leadership from Sri Poondi Vijayaraghavan, Sri 
Nadadur Mathavan, Sri Murali Thirumalai
and Sri Kannan kept the team going steady with the services they provide and
an anchor for the young men to join and develop into contributing devotees.

We celebrated the holy advent of two of our dearest acharyas,
tirunakshatrams of Sri Vedanta Desika and Sri Manavaala Maamunikal in 
Chicago at
Sri Venkatesvara Swami temple, Aurora, Illinois.  This was the first time 
in the United States
where the tirunakshatrams of Swami Desika and Swami Manavaala Maamunikal 
were jointly celebrated.

Their commitment to perform Paduka Thiruaradhanam and Bhagavath Aradhanam
is truly motivational. During the Acharya Thirunakshatram in october 2000,
they performed kainkariyam with about 3 hours of sleep or less.

Even today at every location whenever adiyen has had the bhagyam of serving
with Ramanuja Mission, they have always chanted both Tanians and Satthumurai
and allowed others to chant their acharya tanians, thereby honoring and making
Ramanuja Mission an institution that serves all Sri Vaishnavas in the US.

and LAST but not the LEAST:
*   Kaimkaryam Awards every year by  Sri Ramanuja Mission, Inc.,
                with blessings from HH Sri Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan

These are just the services that adiyen as an outsider far away from WDC 
and NY/ NJ
is able to see and am very thankful for these. I  am sure they serve in 
many more areas now,
like Adyayana Utsavam, the new Temple, Upnaysams, Panchangams, Matrimonials 
etc.
