srimathE rAmAnujAya namaha:

adiyEn had the oppurtunity to speak to sri Thirukkoshtiyur Madhavan and got the 
details
first hand from this noble Ramanuja dasa. These devotees have also securing the 
land, 
and have found a Tablet from Mamunigal's time which mentions the 1 Yr Discourse 
and the tanian as given by the lord.

Plans are underway to construct a Ramanuja University on the very same location.

Newsflash! From
Sri Vaisnava Sri A. Krishnamachariar, e-mail: akchari@xxxx
214 East Uthara Street, Srirangam, Trichy 620006
( 431-434398/ 437025)


On the 21st and 22nd October 2001, the Tirunakshatra of Sri 
Manavalamamunighal, 'Srivaisnavism's most beloved acharya', was celebrated 
with pomp in Srirangam. Yet whilst the sacred vigraha of Sri 
Manavalamamunighal was enjoying tirumanjanam, and puliyodarai and sweet 
pongal were being enjoyed by all, the sacred mortal remains of the saint lay 
but 2 km away, gripped by a bog mire saturated with effluence, abandoned and 
at elements' whim. His worthy mission too lies neglected.
The exiting 'Thiruvarasu-Need of the Hour' project' seeks to rectify this 
neglect by constructing a Thiruvarasu (a shrine built above the mortal 
remains of the saint). This will serve as a 'nerve centre ' to inspire a 4 
phase development project:

Phase 1: Re-construction of a Thiruvarasu, or shrine built on the sight of 
the sacred mortal remains of Sri Manavalamamunighal.

Phase 2: Re-construction of the adjacent Keshava Perumal Sannidhi, wherein 
106 Shaligrams from the terrestrial Divya Desas will be worshiped. A further 
uniqueness will be the Archa-vigraha presence of all Alwars & Acharayas.

Phase 3: Establishment of the Sri Ramanuja University. It will be a salient 
feature of this university to offer fully accredited dual degrees combining 
conventional courses with Agama, Divya Prabhandha, Sri Bhashya and other 
Sampradaya studies. The university will also house a 'Grantha Naimisaranya', 
wherein every published Sampradaya text will be available for reference.

Phase 4: Development of a 'Spiritual Kaveri Resort' and 'Planetarium'
An immense project needs huge funds. Every rupee helps. We ask every 
well-wisher of the Srivaisnava sampradaya, regardless of age, gender or 
income, to donate at least the cost of but one brick (i.e. Rs 2) towards the 
aforesaid noble works. Those who find this too irksome a commitment should 
think twice (if not bow twice) before uttering the holiest of thaniyans or 
applying the distinguished padham (lotus feet).

There is no time to waste. A committee headed by H.H. Vanamamalai Kaliyan 
Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamy, H.H. Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar 
Swamy, Sri Thirukoshtiyur Madhavan, Sri Vaishnava Sri A. Krishnamachariar, 
Sri U.Ve. Velukudi Krishnan, Dr M.A. Venkatakrishnan, Dr A.V. Rangachariar, Dr 
R. Rangarajan, and
Dr M. Varadarajan, has been established to guide the project. Let us all 
co-operate to fulfil Sri Manavalamamunighal's noble mission for mankind.

"May the divine commandment of Sri Ramanuja flourish more and more, 
unimpeded in its victorious course at all times and places. May 
Manavalamamuni- needed for the welfare of all godly people, the great temple 
city of Sri Rangam, Of Nammazhvar's Tamil Vedas and the entire world 
surrounded by the oceans- may that Manavalamamuni live for another hundred 
years"

Dr AD Sri Rangapriya Ramanujadasar (Author of the project's English 
publications)
