Dear Srinath and others, 

HH Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji Maharaj has
started several initiatives in this regard. 
Gita Jyothi, Krishnum Vande Jagadgurum and many events
over the past 25 years were in these lines. As part of
Gita Jyothi "Worship your own and Respect All"
programme, religious heads from all sampradayams were
bought together, advised and counselled. 

Please see the most recent Sarva Vaishnava Samgosthi
held where over 300 Swamijis from all over India
attended. Several resolutions were passed. Ahobilam
Jeeyar had boycotted the great function after he had
talks with Kanchi Jayendra Saraswathi (which was
actually very unfortunate). There are a few other
'popular' swamis who couldn't make the event. 
Some pictures can be found at ---

The common program, the agenda, the programs for
execution have already been defined as part of the
Sarva VAishnava Samgosthi. 

The only support we can do I think is work on
mobilizing funds so that this committee can meet
atleast once or twice or thrice every year. We need a
fund of aroound US $200,000 per year to support such
events to begin with. 


Jai Srimannarayana!
Nivedana

Dear All,
Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
This is an excellent suggestion. can all the
Vaishnavagroups on the internet form a committe to
work as an agitating group to pave way for a much
wider discussions on this subject. A model code of
conduct and a common minimum programme can be worked
out to start kick start this approach. Can we rise
beyond our narrow outlook and widen our vision to
greater vistas? This will be an excellent service to
Emberumanar Sri Ramanuajar Himself. This is a poser to
members of all groups.
Adiyen,
Dasan,
Ramanujam.
