AN APPEAL

Mylapore, Chennai ?600004


Dear Sir/Madam

Srimathe Srivan Satakopa Sri VEERARAGHAVA Satakopa Yathindra Maha Desikan, has been the 43rd Jeer of Sri Ahobila Mutt, (popularly known as Devanarvilagam Azhagiyasinger) from 9th February 1951 to 24th November 1957.

He was in the Ashramam for a very short period but traveled extensively through out India to propagate what he preached and practiced. Born in a rich family in the year 1901, he has always felt himself as a Trustee of Lord Krishna, whom his family has been worshipping.

He has lived simply through out his life. When he was offered the Pontiff Throne (Pettam) of Sri Ahobila Mutt by 42nd Jeer, he has accepted without hesitation. He has performed daily traditional discourses ( Kalashepam) both during pre and post Sanyasa Ashramam. He was the Principal of Maduranthakam Sanskrit college and also responsible for opening of Oriental Schools at many towns in Tamil Nadu to support traditional studies along with modern education introduced in curriculum. Sri Ahobila Mutt Oriental School at Mambalam is one shining example of his vision.

Srimad Azhagiyasinger has taken the entire team of Sri Ahobila Mutt to Badri, for the first time in the history of Sri Ahobila Mutt. He performed his last Sankalpam at Rishikesh and attained the Abode of His Lord (Paramapadam) at Naimisaranyam on his 57th Thirunakshethiram. Srimad Azhagiyasinger?s Brindavanam is located at
the banks of Gomathi river in Naimisharanyam in Uttar Pradesh.

Srimad 45th Azhagiyasinger has planned to perform the grand centenary celebrations of his Acharyan at Selaiyur near Chennai on 19th November , 2001. With his blessings, it has been decided to celebrate in a fitting manner at his birth place, Sri Ahobila Muth, Selaiyur by this committee.

The Committee comprising of eminent and influential people have decided to celebrate the happy centenary Thirunakshethiram and to mark the occasion in an appropriate manner by a 5 day Ubhaya-Veda Parayanam, Vedic lectures, and Thadeeyaradhanam. A souvenir, intended to be a volume of permanent value with Srimad Azhagiyasinger?s earlier writings and competent and learned scholars, to be published on 19/11/2001.

We earnestly appeal to you to participate in this holy service on the great occasion by sponsoring advertisement in the valuable souvenir. We are planning to print about 1000 copies of sovunir and it will cost about Rs1,50,000. We are also planning to keep a corpus fund of Rs.1,00,000 for future celebrations. therefore we are planning to collect Rs.3,00,000. The money can be sent to Sri. Dr. S. Padmanabhan at the address given above in this appeal. The remittance should be drawn as "Treasurer, 43rd Jeer Centenary Celebrations Commiittee" payable at Chennai.

We are thankful and confident that you will support us on a large scale in this Centenary celebrations as a service in the honour of our Jeer (Acharya Kainkaryam) and take the blessings of Lord Lakshmi Narasimhan and our Acharyas.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,



Dr.S.Padmanabhan
Secretary,
Centenary Celebrations Committee.
