SrI:


Dear AaasthikAs :

In this SamsAric life of ours , there are intense times of Joy , when we 
are enjoying the SarvalOka SaraNyan's Roopam , GuNam and VibhUthi.
There are also times of gruelling pain and inconsolable sorrow , when 
we are  seperated from Him and His Divine Consort .

Swamy Desikan experienced such a period of intense sorrow,
when he had to leave Srirangam because of the horrible atrocities
committed by the Muslim invaders  and the threat they posed to
the Bhaagavatha Community there . He arrived at Sathyagalam 
near Melkote and meditated on Lord RanganAtha and the dhivya 
dEsam of Srirangam and prayed for the removal of his fears
and sorrow over the forced seperation from  his Sarva Swamy
and begged the Lord  for reunion with Him as soon s possible 
and drive away the offending hoard of Muslim invaders . 

Parama DayaaLu Lord Ranganatha responded to Swamy Desikan's
prayer and returned to Srirangam for the resumption of AarAdhanam 
after chasing away the inauspiciousness of the cruel invaders from
far off lands . Peace was restored and Swamy Desikan returned from 
Melkote , which had provided him temporary shelter under the sacred
feet of AchArya RaamAnuja and ThirunArAyaNa PerumAL.

Whenever we have fear about anything , it is customary to recite
Abhethi Sthavam of Swamy Desikan to chase away SamsAric Bheethi
and klEsams about Kaimakrya VirOdhis (Obstacles to Bhagavath
BhAgavatha  AchArya Kaimkaryams).

Please have the darsanam of the Lord of Srirangam at His temple in
Pomona , NY :

At Pomona , NY , we have " bheethi " about repairing the flat roof from damages
caused by the severe snows , Rain and heat of the past few winters and Summers .
We have worries about housing the archakaas of Sri RanganAtha at comfortable
living quarters . There are worries about raising adequate funds to cover
these immediate needs .

Lord RanganAtha and Sri RanganAyaki , ANDAL , Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan ,

to recite ThituppAvai and NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi and recieve the dhivya 
dampathi's
anugraham and PrasAdhams .
