SRI RAMANUJA MISSION, INC. -- AN ANNOUNCEMENT

[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

 

Dear Bhakti Bhagavathas:

 

HH Srimad Srirangam Andavan has given His gracious blessings to His

Thiruvadikals to start a non-profit service organization to nurture Sri

Ramanuja Siddhantha in USA and other countries outside India.

 

Accordingly, we are proud to announce the formation of Sri Ramanuja Mission

Inc. The Mission has been registered in the state of MD and has filed for

tax exemptions under IRS as a non-profit organization.

 

As desired by HH, one of the primary objective of the Mission is to

facilitate community out-reach programs for promoting the understanding of

our Sri Vaishnava Sat Sampradayam established by Sri Ramanuja. As a

starting point in fulfilling Missions’ objectives, the Mission’s co-founder

and President Sri U. Ve. Kannan Iyyangar, has started a discourse on Srimad

Rahasya Thraya Sara on January 14, 1998.

 

Sri U.Ve. Kannan Iyyangar 68, is a retired CPA of the Govt. of India. He

had his early religious instructions in the Sri Ahobilam Sanskrit College,

Maduranthakam and did Adhyayanam in Vedas and Nalaayira Divya Prabandham

etc. He had Kalakshebam in Granta Chathushtayam (four holy works i.e., Sri

Bhashya, Sri Gita Bhashya, Bhagavat Vishaya, and Srimad Rahasya Thraya Sara)

under the holly feet of learned vidwans including, Puthankottagam

Srinivasacharya, Melma Narasimhacharya, Thirukkoshitiyur Swami, Uthamur

Swami, Maduranthgam Swami, and Karpangadu Swami. He did kalakshebam of

Srimad Rahasiya Thraya Sara under the feet of HH Thirukudanthai Andavan (6

times) and under the feet of Thirukoshtiyur Swami (two times).

 

Adiyen and Jaganath Bharadwaj are extremely fortunate in attending his

kalakshepam along with other Bhagavathas. Those Bhagavathas residing in and

around Washington metropolitan area interested in attending this Kalakshepam

are welcome to join any time. The discourse is scheduled every Sunday 4 to

6 p.m. at his residence in North Potomac, MD.

 

Please pass on this information to other Bhagavathas who would benefit from

such a discourse. For directions please contact Sri. U.Ve Kannan Iyyangar at

(301) 294-6206.

 

The Mission plans to volunteer in conducting work shops, produce and

distribute texts, tapes, and other materials on the works of acharyas like

Sri Alavandar, Sri Ramanuja, Sri Vedantha Desika, and Sri Manavala Mamuni,

through cooperative efforts of other service organizations. We are planning

a few key initiatives in this regard. Bhagavathas interested in

participating in such kainkaryams, please send an email to nadadur

Thanks.
