Dear Bhagavathas,
The 36th Jeer of Sri Brahmatantra
Swatantra Sri Parakalaswami Mutt graced the 69th Thirunakshatram celebrations of
HH Srimad Srimushnam Andavan held at our Chennai Asramam on the 2nd June 2003.On
that occasion HH Srimad Andavan reminded us that the Sapthathi of the Jeer of
Parakala Mutt falls on Chithirai Revathi 2004 and advised us that we should
stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sishyas and Abhimanis of the Matam in
conducting these celebrations in a fitting manner.
This subject was broached to HH.
With His characteristic humility, HH mentioned that He was more interested in
planning the 121st Thirunakshatram (the second Sashtiabdapoorthi) of HH
Peria Parakala Swami, the 34th Jeer falling on Aadi Punarvasu 2004 rather than
think about His own 71st. (In fact HH was planning to set up committees forthis
purpose!) This is no doubt a noble thought on His part but we cannot let
go of this opportunity. Keeping the great traditions of the Mutt in mind,
we have to plan the celebrations in mind.
On behalf of Srirangam Srimad
Andavan Asramam, on behalf of our Trustees and our NEC members (and on my own
behalf) I requested HH Sri Abhinava Vagheesa Swami that His 71st
Thirunakshatram be celebrated at our Chennai Asramam. This is with a view to
attract maximum audiences, conveniently assemble a good set
of Adhikaris for Veda Grantha Parayanamsand the volunteers for the event
management as well which will generate maximum mileage for the Matam and
its projects. The Trustees of the Mutt present immediately pointed out thatthe
Mutt premises was getting ready at Palathope, Mylapore and that the function be
held there only(a perfectly justified point of view). We pointed out that the
access to the site was very much restricted and cannot accommodate more than a
handful of cars/ two wheelers. HH has to take a decision in this
regard.
This mail is to invite suggestions
and proposals for events, constitution of a committee, collection of funds,
application thereof etc.,
My role is to facilitate,
coordinate, cooperate and motivate only. All assistance possible will
be rendered by my colleagues in the Asramam. Kindly reply to eyetex@xxxxxxxx and rr@xxxxxxxxxx
Kindly forward this mail to all the sites
for maximum circulation.
Warmest regards.
