Thanks !

[Guest guest]

Dear Members of the Bhakthi Group :

 

During the last few days , I have received many public

and private mailings encouraging me to continue the

Kaimkaryam of posting information on the Bhagavadh

Vishayam . The quality of the feedback has been so

positive that it is clear to me that my decison to continue to

share what little I know on the Kula Dhanams of our heritage

is the right thing to do . I feel honored by your most sincere and

true expression of affection and respect and thank you all for

your welcome feedbacks .

 

As a participant in the recently concluded sathsangam at Buffalo ,

I enjoyed listening to the moving and informative presentations by

the talented and devout speakers . It became clear to me then

that there can not be enough information of this kind available

to all of us , unless each of us share whatever we know about

Bhagavath Ramanuja Darsanam and "instruct " each other

as stated by one of our AcharyAs: Parasparam Bodhayantha :

 

I will approach my service to the Divya Dampathis in that mode and

look forward to exchanges of information that will enrich our mind,

clarify it and lay the tracks for additional journeys in the vast land

of our sampradhayaam based on the PrasthAna Trayam and the TriveNi

of Naalayira Divya Prabhandham , Paancharaathra

and Vaikaanasa Agamams.

 

The rich experience of participation in the Buffalo Sathsangam

was a personally enriching experience for me for a number of

reasons :(1) the opportunity to meet some of the talented and devout

members from Buffalo, New York and from the other states as well

as Canada (2) the opportunity to listen to thought-provoking presentations

by the speakers (3) the opportunity to witness Dhanur Maasa AarAdhanams

conducted in the most traditional manner (4) the opportunity to learn about the

 

children performing a play on ThiruppANAzhwar's AmalanAdhipirAn, Thiruppavai

as well as recitation of SudarsanAshtakam and its meaning ET AL . The

sathsangam was a pioneering effort that was masterfully conceived and

competently executed with the valued contributions of many volunteers ,

who gave geenrously their time and energies. The impact was

unique and exhilarating . Srimans Anbil Ramaswamy ,

Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan , Sampath Rengarajan , Murali Ranaswamy .

Bharadvaj Jaganathan, CidAmbi Sriram of our group backed up

strongly by the highly motivated friends of

Sriman Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan at Buffalo made this pioneering event

a resounding success. Many new friendships were made and old

friendships were strengthened during this memorable occasion .

Participation at that meeting and the interactions there once again convinced me

to

continue my postings in the spirit of sharing of and learning about our

rich inheritance.

 

I take pleasure to wish all fellow members and their family a Healthy ,

Happy and Prosperous New Year .
