Dear Balaji,

I posted the following at the various sites and all of them came back with
the message that my computer (or my id - whichever!!)is not authorised to
enter those groups.

Can you please post these on my behalf to the following sites/ groups?

Now the matter proper:--

Dear Bhagavathas,

The 36th Jeer of Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Sri Parakalaswami Mutt graced
the 69th Thirunakshatram celebrations of HH Srimad Srimushnam Andavan held
at our Chennai Asramam on the 2nd June 2003.On that occasion HH Srimad
Andavan reminded us that the Sapthathi of the Jeer of Parakala Mutt falls on
Chithirai Revathi 2004 and advised us that we should stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Sishyas and Abhimanis of the Matam in conducting these
celebrations in a fitting manner.

This subject was broached to HH. With His characteristic humility, HH
mentioned that He was more interested in planning the 121st Thirunakshatram
(the second Sashtiabdapoorthi) of HH Peria Parakala Swami, the 34th Jeer
falling on Aadi Punarvasu 2004 rather than think about His own 71st. (In
fact HH was planning to set up committees for this purpose!) This is no
doubt a noble thought on His part but we cannot let go of this opportunity.
Keeping the great traditions of the Mutt in mind, we have to plan the
celebrations in mind.

On behalf of Srirangam Srimad Andavan Asramam, on behalf of our Trustees and
our NEC members (and on my own behalf) I requested HH Sri Abhinava Vagheesa
Swami that His 71st Thirunakshatram be celebrated at our Chennai Asramam.
This is with a view to attract maximum audiences, conveniently assemble a
good set of Adhikaris for Veda Grantha Parayanamsand the volunteers for the
event management as well which will generate maximum mileage for the Matam
and its projects. The Trustees of the Mutt present immediately pointed out
that the Mutt premises was getting ready at Palathope, Mylapore and that the
function be held there only(a perfectly justified point of view). We pointed
out that the access to the site was very much restricted and cannot
accommodate more than a handful of cars/ two wheelers. HH has to take a
decision in this regard.

This mail is to invite suggestions and proposals for events, constitution of
a committee, collection of funds, application thereof etc.,

My role is to facilitate, coordinate, cooperate and motivate only. All
assistance possible will be rendered by my colleagues in the Asramam. Kindly
reply to eyetex@xxxx and rr@xxxx

Kindly forward this mail to all the sites for maximum circulation.

Warmest regards.

RR.
