Exactly two weeks from
today, Saturday May 22, 2004 is Srimath Srimushnam Andavan Sri Rangaramanuja
Mahadesikan's 70th Thirunakshatram Mahotsavam. Srimath Srimushnam Andavan
was born in "VaikAsi" Month on star "ThiruvAdirai". Srimath Andavan Ashramam
in Bangalore where Srimath Andavan is camping presently, is gearing up
for a grand celebration for 5 days starting on May 18, 2004 with hundreds
of Sevarthis and vidwans participating in various Grantha Parayanam, Veda
Parayanams and Vidwat Sadas.
For the last couple of years sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Andavan all over USA had the great bhAgyam of celebrating their Acharyas Thirunakshatram with other sishyas in their vicinity, through the auspices of Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam in 10 Cities in USA. An AchAryan's Thirunakshtram day is a very important day in a sishyA's calendar. One need no special qualification to take a lead in organizing this and need not be an expert in the sampradayam to sing the praise of an Acharyan who renounced everything in life to devote to bringing his sishyas closer to emperuman. The celebration in each location could be marked simply by sishyas coming together on this joyous occasion and reciting few sthothrams (Vishnu Sahasranama, Desika Sthothrams etc.) and ending with Acharya Sambhavani and recitation of Srimath Srimushnam Andavan's Tanian. This year Sri Ramanuja Mission hopes to organize the thirunakshatram in even more cities than last year on May 22nd 2004 for all the sishyas of our illustrious Aharyan to celebrate this important day. This year we hope to see sishyas come forward in new areas also, where we did not conduct in the past. We request Andavan sishyas all over USA and all other locations worldwide to come forward in great numbers to host and/or coordinate this important mahOtsavam.
