The above is very true. srI srI srI chinna jIyar svAmi graciously
guides the volunteers despite all of our shortcomings. His
vision/presence/teachings are a source of inspiration to us.

I remember distinctly his talk about a couple of years back at
a function in chennai .. He was talking about the need to preserve
three things in the sampradAyam -

1. our LOrd, and the way we see the LORd - i.e. the divyadEsams
2. the pramANAs - scriptures, AchArya works and so on
3. learning/knowledge - everyone should learn about the sampradAya
and support those who teach/learn.

In fact, He was emphatic that "IT IS OUR DUTY TO PRESERVE THIS
WEALTH AND PASS IT ON TO OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS".

On many other occasions, his advice has been the clarifiying
factor while encountering many confusions regarding these and
other kainkaryams.

In fact, the volunteers of the rAmAnuja list/VEDICS attempt
to do projects that support the three things above -

1. DD efforts
2. many book publication efforts were supported, and will be
supported; so is the same for proper translation efforts
3. the upanyAsams and tours that are organized.

It is our fortune that we all happen to live during the era
of srI srI srI chinna jIyar svAmi, who many of us believe
is the current-day rAmAnuja/svAmi maNavALa mAmuni.

adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
varadhan
