SRI :
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.
Naryana Narayana Narayana.
 
Dear Bhagavathas,
 
Our Pranams to all those who think of the sufferings of others.
 
Blessed are those who are bestowed with hearts which think of the sufferings of fellow beings. The act of offering food to others as per the program is very welcome.May our Lord make more and more hearts reach to the needs of the unfortunate people.
 
We, with folded hands, make the following request and appeal to all the Bhagavathas.  

Let us make it a point to feed atleast some of the people around us or in our area who are in difficulty, either as individuals or as a group , regularly by rotation or by joint contribution . This will go a long way in mitigating the suffering of very many people which in essence is a great service to our Lord. Such simple efforts on our part will give us great mental satisfaction and promote harmony in the society. We pray Our Lord to make us serve His children to the best of our capacity.
 
Regards.

    THADHEEYARADHANAM  ( PARANAI ) KAINGARYAM AT  SRIRANGAM
                                                      (EIGHTH YEAR )

ON KAISIKA EKADHASI - DHWADHASI , VAIKUNDA EKADHASI ? DHWADHASI
                                                  AND PANGUNI UTHIRAM


In the Thirupavai, Sri Aandal refers to Annadhanam as generating Dharma (sorey Arancheyyum).  Annadhanam on ?Offering of Food is the Exclusive Privilege of  Ladies.
The Sastras declare that Ladies only can offer Food to Yadhigal and Bhaghavadhargal. They can only offer Rice Bhiksha to Young Boys on the Day of their Upanayanam (Sacred Thread Ceremony)  Further entertaining guests is also prerogative of Ladies.  Thus Annadhanam is not a Privilege but a sacred duty cast on Ladies.  Epics Record the fact that Sita Devi, Draupadi and Rishipathnis strictly followed this practice in the lines and entertained several holy guests.

While offering food and entertaining guests anywhere and anytime would definitely yield merit Punyam to the Ladies, doing so at SRIRANGAM, particularly to the Vedic Scholars, Bhagavathas and Koil Archakas (Srirangam) that too in Scared KAISIKA DHWADHASI Day will bring in untold merit to the Donors.  The Merit so accrued will satisfy the hunger and thirsts
to anyone suffering in Narakas.  That is why it is said that, No other donations such as offering clothes, money, education etc., can equal to Annadhanam.  For this reason only Sri Paduka Sahasra  Parayana Ladies offering food to vedic scholars, bhagavathas and koil archakas for the 8th year in succession  at SRI AHOBHILA MUTT PREMISES, EAST CHITRA STREET SRIRANGAM ON KAISIKA DHWADHASI.

DECEMBER 4th and 5th of  2003        :    KAISIKA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI

JANUARY    3rd and 4th of 2004        :    VAIKUNDA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI

APRIL 4th of  2004                              :      PANGUNI  UTHIRAM

May kindly keep these dates in mind and associate themselves in this noble task.  By doing so, they will only be following the advice of Sri Aandal in Thiruppavai ?Ambaramey, thanneerey, sore Aranchcheyyum?
