SrI:
 
Dear Sri VaishNavAs :
 
It is with great pleasure adiyEn is inviting Your attention to
the recent release of a divine discourse on Pancha SamskAram
and SaraNAgathy  by HH SrimathE SrI Lakshminrisimha  
Dhivya PaadhukA Sevaka SrivaNN SaThakOpa Sri Narayana
Yatheendhra MahA Desikan , the Prakrutham Jeeyar of
AhObila Matam . This is a 43 minute long CD ROM that
is exemplary in the breadth of coverage of these two
most important samskArams that are " musts"  in the life of
a  Sri VaishNavan . 
 
PramANams from Sruthi , Dhivya Prabhandham , Smrithis ,
PurANam and RakshA granthams of AchAryAs are used abundantly
by Srimath Azhagiya Singar to help us gain a clear understanding
of the fine points about these two vital samskArams .
 
The  deep thoughts housed in this audio CD ROM with
revealing examples form daily life makes it easy to grasp
the essence of these two SamskArams and the central role they 
play in a Sri VaishNava's life .
 
Out of His infinite compassion for us all , Srimath Azahgiya singar has
squeezed in the time needed for this anugraha BhAshaNam by cutting
short His few hours of daily nidhrA yogam .  We are the beneficiaries .
This is a CD ROM that all houses should have  as a reference material.
 
The key points developed by SrImath Azhagiya Singar in this CD ROM are :
 
(1) Recieving Pancha SamskAram ( from an AchAryan ) alone confers
      VaishNavathvam on any one ; just being born in a VaishNava family
      does not make one a VaishNavan . The completion of the Pancha  SamskAram
      makes one a VaishNavan and equips him with the prequisite for gaining
      yOgyathai for performing Bhagavath   AarAdhanam . Srimath Azhagiya
      Singar gave the lakshaNams of a ParamaikAnthi and pointed out
      that  the Pancha samskAram is a hethu for developing ParamaikAnthi
      status among VaishNavAs . 
 
(2) Moksham can not however be gained through Pancha SamskAram ,
      although it confers on one VaishNavathvam and qualifies him
      to perform Bhagavath AarAdhanam .  Moksham can be gained only
      through SaraNAgathy that has been practised by AzhwArs and all of
      our PoorvAchAryAs . AchArya RaamAnujA has performed SaraNAgathy
      before the dhivya dampathis to show us the way in which SaraNAgathi
      with its five angams should be performed through His SaraNAgathy Gadhyam .  
      Seshathva Jn~Anam alone is not sufficent for gaining Moksham . SaraNAgathy
      is an absolutely essential samskAram for a Mumukshu .
 
Srimath Azhagiya Singar concludes this important CD ROM with four  
appeals : (1) Nithya KarmAs like SandhyA Vandhanam should be done
without fail (2) ParAnna Niyamam ( Observing restrictions on eating anywhere
and every where ) should be maintained (3) ParamaikAnthithvam
should be developed ( Utter Faith in Lord alone as the sole upAyam
and not asking anything from Him except the boon of Kaimkaryam to Him ) .
(4) Completing the two vital samskArams of SamAsrayaNam ( Pancha
SamskAram) and SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of a SadAchAryan
and maintaining the life of a Parapannan in the post-prapatthi period . 
 
This CD ROM can be obtained from Ahobila Matam North America soon
along with the other CD ROM released at Kaanchipuram today on RaamAnuja 
Vaibhavam . Latter was recorded at Melkote during the AchArya RaamAnuja 
Jayanthi celebration there by Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
 
Please send adiyEn a note so that adiyEn can help you acquire 
these two audio CD ROMs for Your family's home libraries .
