Brahmaothsavam at Ahobilam

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavathaas:

 

The following is part of an appeal I received yesterday

from Sri. Krishnamachari of Ahobilam. The appeal also

included a Sri Mukham from HH the Jeeyar giving permission

for raising funds.

 

If you are interested in contributing to this cause, please

make your check out to Sri Ahobila Muth and send it to

1908 Preswood Dr., Hixson, TN 37343. We will consolidate

the contributions and send it over as a single check.

We will mail our receipt immediately. Receipt from Ahobilam

will be mailed to you as soon they are received.

 

Please e-mail your pledge within a week so that I can

keep track of the contributions as they come in.

 

Than you,

Annual Brahmothsavam

Ahobilam, Kurnool District

From 4-March-98 to 14-March-98

 

Asthikas, might be aware how the above

mentioned illustration reveals the greatness

of the Ahobila Kshethram and the feeding of

devotees here. The greatness is explained,

in such a manner that even feeding lakhs of

people other Kshethrams is nothing before Sri

Ahobila Kshethra where a handful of rice is

offered to a single person.

 

One will feel what is said in the

illustration is quite true if he happens to

witness the feeding of pilgrims as well as

the poor by several Annasathrams during the

festival here.

 

Inspite of all these Annsathrams there is no

arrangement for feeding Srivaishnavas who

attend the festival in multitude from several

corners. So, enormous funds of the Mutt

which are intended for the betterment of the

Mutt is spent for the purpose.

 

Hence I profoundly request you, Asthika

gentlemen, to come forward to extend your

helping hand in such a way that during this

year feeding may be conducted exclusively out

of the donations of sishyas and thus make the

feeding a grand success.

 

For all the donations SRI AHOBILA MUTT'S

HAMSA MUDHRA RECEIPTS will be given.

 

Srimad Azhagiyasingar stay at Ahabilam from

25.02.1998 to 25.03.1998 Panguni 11 Wednesday.
