MESSAGE FROM SRIMATH ANDAVAN
ASHRAMAM: Swarna Pushpam For Andavan Ashramam's Aradhana Perumal |
|
  
All the devotees
of Ashramam are aware that Nithya Aaradanai Perumal is Sri Venugopalan
along with Sri Rukmini and Sathyabama. This is the perumal supposed to
have been in the Ashramam from the days of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Desikan,
a revered poorva acharya of our Ashramam who established Munithraya Sampradayam
in the 1700s.
Sri Venugopalan
enjoys Dolothsavam at the residence of various devotees several times in
a month. This is done in a beautiful Swarna Dolai specially made. Every
one of you also know the beautiful silver mandapam, in which this Perumal
is having Nithya aradanam. Both these facilities were made as per the wishes
of His Holiness, a few years back.
Now this year,
His Holiness is coming out with a proposal, that the daily archana for
Sri Venugopalan soon will be performed with 1008 Swarna Pushpams. For this,
small round golden discs of about 15mm's in diameter and 2 gms. in weight
are getting ready. On one side of the disc lettering in Samskrit with the
wording "Ohm Visvaya Namaha" is engraved on each of these discs. All these
1008 golden discs will be retained in the Ashramam for daily aaraadana.
Devotees are invited
to join in this Ashramam Kainkaryam. By joining they will be part of Nitya
aradanai. Your contribution will do some service every day to Sri Venugopala
Perumal. This small gold disc, costs Rs.1350/-. Devotees can contribute
for one or more of these Swarana Pushpams and obtain the blessing of Sri
Venugopalan every day. It is hereby informed that the Swarna Pushpam
will be retained in Ashramam for nithya Aradhanam to perumal. Residents
outside India may contribute $40.00 ($35+$5 Shipping) through Sri
Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam, electronically
using Visa/MasterCard/Amex/CheckingAccount through Paypal. Please click
on the Visa/Amex Logo Below to conveniently contribute for the same.
As the number
to be used for Nityaaradanam is a fixed one at 1008, it is better to book
your requirements at the earliest, to avoid any disappointment later.
The payment by
cheque or DD is to be made payable at Chennai drawn in the name of "Srimath
Andavan Ashramam" and posted to Ashramam premises at No.21, Desikachari
Road, Mylapore, Chennai ? 600 004.
As a recognition
of the contribution, a small show case piece of Sri Venugopalan, covered
in plastic case will be given from the Ashramam. Picture of the 2 gms weight
golden disc engraved as stated above and the proposed gift is given below.
