SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:
Dearest all,

Bhagavath kainkaryam is Great..
bhAgawatha kainkaryam is greater
Acharya kainkaryam is the Greatest... 

Kainkaryamaavadhu sEshi ugandha yEval thozhil
seyvadhu.. What Our Master has in thiruvuLLam and what
is ugappu to Him, is what we as His eternal servants
should do.. 

The one and only (primary) step for our ujjIvanam is
the devotion to Manthrams such as AshtAksharam and
Dhvayam , reverence for one's AchAryan, who performed
UpadEsam of these powerful manthrAs and dhruDa Bhakthi
for Sriman NaarAyaNan , who is the Para Devathai for
these ManthrAs . Sustained and unfaltering devotion to
the Three( mathrams , 
AchAryan and Sriman NaarAyaNan) should always be 
there to realize upliftment in our spiritual journey.

Our core belief is MahA VisvAsam to our AchAryan
in the spirit of the following pramANam quoted 
by U.Ve. SrivathsAnkAcchAr Swamy :

GururEva Param Brahma , GururEva ParA Gathi:
GururEva ParA VidhyA , GururEva ParAyanam
GururEva para: KaamO GururEva param dhanam
YasmAth SadhupadEshtAasou tasmAth GurutamO Guru:

AchAryan is Para Brahmam (Supreme Brahman).
He is the highest to be attained as Education, wealth,
the means for PurushArtham and the essence of VedAs.

AchAryan is the One, who instructed us on SadAchAram
and anushtAnam. Therefore , He has to be worshipped 
by us with reverence at all times out of gratefulness
(Kruthaj~nathai) for His MahOpakAram. 

Our attitude towards our AchAryan has to be along the
lines shown by Swami Desikan and Sri NadadUr AmmAL:

Achaaryasya PrasAdEna mama sarvam abhIpsitham
prApnuyAmithi YasyAsthi VisvAsa: Sa SukhI BhavEth

The Sishyan, who has the unshakable faith
in his AchAryan's grace as THE cause for realizing all
that he wishes for , will be the most happy and
contented one .

Therefore, our AchArya Bhakthi is moulded along
the lines drawn by Swamy Desikan:

archanIyasya Vandhyasccha KeerthanIyasya SARVADHAA
DhyAyEth japEth namEdh BhakthyA bhajEdh abhyarchyEn
MUDHA upAyOpEya BhAvEna TamEva SaraNam vrajEth 

AchArya vandhanam, Japam of His Taniyan, Keerthanam
of His auspicious attributes, dhyAnam with joy should
be peformed by us always. We should seek His feet for
succor as the upAyam for placing our AathmA,the
BhagavAn's property, at His CharaNAravindham as Aathma
NivEdhanam.

The noblest of instruction given to us is:SarIram,
artham,PrANAmsccha SadhgurubhyO NivadhayEth "

Everything --our body , wealth and even prANan--has to
be placed at the sacred feet of our SadAchAryan , who
saves us from the terrors of SamsAram and helps
us most mercifully to reach Parmaam Gathi. 

All Sri VaishNava AchAryAs in general and one's
own AchAryan in particular has to be revered 
along the above lines.Let us therefore celebrate 
our AchAryAs, who have nothing but our KshEmam 
in their minds, prepare us for a state of fitness
for arpaNam of our Jeevan to Sriya: Pathi.

Here is what is in the ThiruvuLLam of asmadhAchAryan
His Holiness Srimad PaRavakkOttai Andavan Sri
Gopaladesika Mahadseikan Swami and here is a golden
opportunity for us to perform Acharya kainkaryam that
is not only to ugappu to Him; but to Divya Dampathi as
well. 

His Holiness Srimad Paramahamsetyadi Sri Gopaladesika
Mahadesikan swamy of SriPoundarikapuram Andavan
Ashramam is very keen on establishing a branch
of the Asramamat Bangalore. 

As Bangalore has several illustrious Srivaishnava and
there is quite a number of sishyas and
abhimanis of Srimad Poundarikapuram Andavan ashramam
[to name a few, ParamahamsetyadiSri Sri Rangapriya
swamy, Dr NS Anantha Rangachar swamin, Asramam
Srikaryam Dr A Ananthanarasimhacharya swamin,
Srikaryam's brother Sri Anantharangachar swamin etc. 

It is all our bhagyam that our most compassionate
acharyasaarva bhouman has taken this sankalpam to
establish a branch here in order to enable the
shishyas residing here and nearby to celebrate AzhwAr
acharya thirunakshatrams, carry out veda vedanta
pravachanams, sadhas, have book releases and
publications and teach vedas, upanishads and slokas
etc.

Swamy also wants to build a kalyana mantapam and offer
the maNdapam at a very low cost or even free to poor
Sri vaishnavas.

In order to carry out His ThiruvuLLam and sankalpam,
we are on the look out for a suitable site. Hence we
are on the look out for people who can help us in
procuring sites or offer the existing properties at a 
reasonable price for this kainkaryam. 

We are also trying to contact the govt for any
provision in allocation of a site but it is a
difficult option. Thus we are requesting all shishyas
and abhimanis of the Ashramam to help us with ideas
and any information on properties which may be
available for a lower cost for this greater cause and
purpose etc.

Some arrangement has already been made for the
construction once the site is available. Hence it is
utmost important for all of us to find and acquire a
suitable site immediately. It is our humble request to
all to help us in this endeavour in anyway possible.
