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 : http://www.ranganatha.org 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 . adiyEn will announce a Capital campaign approved by our Temple Board tomorrow , Aadi Pooram day and seek your invaluable support to serve Lord RanganAtha and Sri RanganAyaki , ANDAL , Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan , Sri Lakshmi HayagrIvan , Sri VeNu gOpAlan , Sri Jaanaki SamEtha Sri Raamachandran .
