SRI :
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.
Naryana Narayana Narayana.
Dear Bhagavathas,
Our Pranams to all those who think of the sufferings of others.
Blessed are those who are bestowed with hearts which think of the sufferings of
fellow beings. The act of offering food to others as per the program is very
welcome.May our Lord make more and more hearts reach to the needs of the
unfortunate people.
We, with folded hands, make the following request and appeal to all the
Bhagavathas.
Let us make it a point to feed atleast some of the people around us or in our
area who are in difficulty, either as individuals or as a group , regularly by
rotation or by joint contribution . This will go a long way in mitigating the
suffering of very many people which in essence is a great service to our Lord.
Such simple efforts on our part will give us great mental satisfaction and
promote harmony in the society. We pray Our Lord to make us serve His children
to the best of our capacity.
Regards.

THADHEEYARADHANAM ( PARANAI ) KAINGARYAM AT SRIRANGAM
(EIGHTH YEAR )
ON KAISIKA EKADHASI - DHWADHASI , VAIKUNDA EKADHASI ? DHWADHASI
AND PANGUNI UTHIRAM
In the Thirupavai, Sri Aandal refers to Annadhanam as generating Dharma (sorey
Arancheyyum). Annadhanam on ?Offering of Food is the Exclusive Privilege of
Ladies.
The Sastras declare that Ladies only can offer Food to Yadhigal and
Bhaghavadhargal. They can only offer Rice Bhiksha to Young Boys on the Day of
their Upanayanam (Sacred Thread Ceremony) Further entertaining guests is also
prerogative of Ladies. Thus Annadhanam is not a Privilege but a sacred duty
cast on Ladies. Epics Record the fact that Sita Devi, Draupadi and
Rishipathnis strictly followed this practice in the lines and entertained
several holy guests.
While offering food and entertaining guests anywhere and anytime would
definitely yield merit Punyam to the Ladies, doing so at SRIRANGAM,
particularly to the Vedic Scholars, Bhagavathas and Koil Archakas (Srirangam)
that too in Scared KAISIKA DHWADHASI Day will bring in untold merit to the
Donors. The Merit so accrued will satisfy the hunger and thirsts
to anyone suffering in Narakas. That is why it is said that, No other
donations such as offering clothes, money, education etc., can equal to
Annadhanam. For this reason only Sri Paduka Sahasra Parayana Ladies offering
food to vedic scholars, bhagavathas and koil archakas for the 8th year in
succession at SRI AHOBHILA MUTT PREMISES, EAST CHITRA STREET SRIRANGAM ON
KAISIKA DHWADHASI.
DECEMBER 4th and 5th of 2003 : KAISIKA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI
JANUARY 3rd and 4th of 2004 : VAIKUNDA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI
APRIL 4th of 2004 : PANGUNI UTHIRAM
May kindly keep these dates in mind and associate themselves in this noble
task. By doing so, they will only be following the advice of Sri Aandal in
Thiruppavai ?Ambaramey, thanneerey, sore Aranchcheyyum?
