Dear Bhagavatas:

Some of you may remember that IN THE FIRST EVER SRIVAISHNAVA CONFERENCE in the USA, organized under the auspices of "Swami Desika Darsana Satsangam" in Dr. Venkat Kanumalla's place in Pomona, a talk on "Srivachana Bhooshanam" by Sri M.R. Srinivasan, of Tennacharya Sampradayam was arranged.

You will remember that about 1 1/2 years ago, I mooted the move for unity among Srivaishnavas in the USA. I was just reflecting the sentiments of our Acharyas only. For reasons best known to them, the response from some key players here was not very enthusiastic though the response from the general membership was highly encouraging.

I am glad that steps have been taken to project the theme in concrete shape, at the level of Acharyas themselves who had come together in a FIRST EVER CONFEDERATION of Matathipathis and Pontiffs of the various Ashramams.

We should be ever grateful for organising committee Members viz.,

1. Sri S.V.S Raghavan
2. Sri T.S. Ramaswamy
3. Sri Eyetex R Rajagopal
and
also to Sri Srinivasan Swami of Brakes India for having inaugurated this historical and epoch making, "never-before" event to come true.

At least from now on. let us all close our ranks, ignore the apparent differences in viewpoints betwwen Kalais, come together as the true follwers of our glorious Parampara of Bhagavad Ramanuja, Swami Desika and Manavala Mamunigal and try to learn the finer aspects they have propounded for our benefit and the benefit of posterity.

I hereby pledge to place my services at your disposal for espousing this noble cause.

May I invite suggestions on how best we from our end could help in achieving the objectives promulugated in the Confederation?.

Please email your suggestions to "Ramanbil@xxxx" and NOT to the yahoogroup address.

Thank you

Dasoham
Anbil Ramaswamy
