Srimath Andavan Ashramam has engaged a professional online-stream broadcaster to broadcast the Thirunakshatram function directly from Srirangam for the benefit of many of us who are unable to be at Srirangam. If all works well, it is a great opportunity to see the events LIVE right from your home and also be part of the rare occasion of seeing all of our great acharyas of both branches of our Sri Ramanuja Sampradayam like Srimath Srirangam Andavan, Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan, Srimath Ahobila Matam Azagiyasingar, Sri Vanamamalai Jeeyar Swami, Sri Parakala Mutt Jeeyar, Sri Ranga Priya Mahadesikan Swami, Srirangam Koil Jeeyar and Sri Thirumalai Pedha Jeeyar Swami on one stage. This is the first event where a direct online telecast for such a function is being attempted.

Srivaishnava AchAryAs are GyAnis who sacrifice all attachments in life to serve Lord Sriman Narayana, guide us in the righteous path and the path of Saranagathy. Retaining AchAryA?s teachings in one's mind, singing the glory and spreading the AchAryA?s greatness, are only very minuscule payback to an Acharya when compared to the great sacrifice an acharya undergoes for His sishyas. Our great AchAryAs have preserved the traditions unbroken through the ages and aglow with ever fresh relevance to changing circumstances of contemporary times. The 11th Andavan of Srimath Andavan Periaashramam, His Holiness Sri Ranga RAmAnuja MahADEsikan is one such sadhAcharyan who has uplifted many a soul to the holy feet of Lord Narayana, to bring deliverance to thousands of disciples from ever revolving samsAra. Srimath Andavan's Sapthathi (71st Thirunakshatram) is celebrated as a Mahotsavam at Srirangam in the midst of five other great Srivaishnava Acharyas. What a great divine sight it is going to be at Srirangam to see all these Acharyas and their sishyas in a single place !! For the benefit of the many bhagavathas living outside India and unable to participate at Srirangam, Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam along with many hosts will be celebrating the Thirunakshatra mahotsavam around the world in the week of June 05-12, 2005. It will be a fitting tribute to Srimath Andavan when all Srivaishnavas together like these great Acharyas, and celebrate this joyous occasion. We request you to kindly utilize this opportunity and get the blessings of Srimath Andavan and Sri Ranganatha Divya dampathis. For all the upahAram that an acharyan does in the service of uplifting our souls to do nithya kainkaryam to Lord Narayana, giving various upanyasams and kalakshebhams even in the midst of tiring sancharams and for constantly taking up many projects for performing bhagavath kainkaryam and for sustenance of our age old Srivaishnava sampradayam....all we can do is to sing His praise and offer our Acharya sambhavanai regularly particularly on the occasion of His thirunakshatram. Sri Ramanuja Mission is targetting to raise a minimum of $71,000 to be submitted to Srimath Andavan as our collective sambhavana on this occasion. We seek generous contributions from Srimath Andavan's sishyas, abimanis, all other Srivaishnavas and bhagavathas alike to achieve this target to support Srimath Andavan's key initiatives like Veda Patasala and sustenance and propagation of our Srivaishnava sampradayam. A special web page has been created
for this occasion for bhagavathas to contribute their Sambhavana online.

As periAzhwAr says pallAndu pallAndu to perumAL, let us pray to the Divya Dhampathis for blessing His Holiness Srimath Srimushnam Andavan Sri Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikan for Longevity along with Good health so that He can guide us all for many many more years to come !! |
