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.
