Aadi Puram Celebrations

[Guest guest]

Dear BhagavathAs :

 

Today is the blessed day of ANDAL's birth .

Her ThiruppAvai Paasuram ( SiRRam SiRu kaalE)

is our Marga darsini . " UnakkE naam aatchyvOm "

is our Manthram .

 

On this auspicious day , I want to bring to your attention

the Kaimkaryam for Achaarya RaamAnujA , the Thiruppaavai

Jeeyar . He is our great AchAryA , who fulfilled

the wishes of AlavandhAr and established our AchArya

Paramaparai . Bhagavadh RaamAnuja SiddhAntham is flourishing

in India and around the world because of his Kaimkaryam .

 

We have started TODAY ,the CD ROM Project on AchArya RaamAnujA

in colloboration with Anantha Research Foundation of

KarnatakA . Professor Alwar is providing leadership

at the Anantha Research Foundation end . Great Scholars

in Sri VaishNavism are joining in to make this effort

an unparalleled one in the sense that such a CD ROM

on Sri RaamAnujA , his granthams and life history

have not been released so far IN AN IMAGE RICH FORMAT .

 

Inputs from the AchAryAs of different Mutts

that grew out of the Bhagavadh RaamAnuja's

paramaanugraham will be sought and incorporated in

the CD ROM itself or in the accompanying Text to go

wiht the CD ROM . I have seen now tHe demo CD ROM

from the Foundation and it is beautiful and sanctifying .

The two key areas that we are focussing are : Bhagavadh AarAdhanam

with its features and the nine granthams of AchArya RaamAnujA

with summaries . We are including many beautiful images

of the DIVYA DESAMS VISITED BY ACHAARYA RAAMAANUJA

wiht the much appreciated help of Sriman Dileepan .

Special emphasis will be given to the Temple town

of Melkote , where a lot of events of significance to

Sri VaishNavism happened .

 

We are aiming for the date of Sep 5-7 to release the

next level of Demo CD ROM with ArAdhanam and

Granthams at Pomona , NY and complete the entire

work in time for the Dallas December Meeting .

 

We need to raise some funds to cover the expenses of

creating this CD ROM . In my earlier note , I had

suggested that we would need 14,000 $ for the entire CD ROM .

 

We would need 4,000 $ to finish the Advanced Demo now for

bhakthAs to see at Pomona and elsewhere .We have

a month's time left for reaching the immediate target

of $4,000 . A donaiton of $100 each from

fourty BhakthAs or addiitonal amounts from those ,

who wish to support , would be most welcome

to race against this immediate deadline .

 

We will send the donors a copy of the Advanced CD ROM

after the Pomona Conference . A lot needs to be done

from now until the Pomona Conference .PLEASE COME FORWARD

AND HELP WITH THIS EXRAORDINARY KAIMKARYAM TO REACH

OUT TO THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS AND THEIR PARENTS

REGARDING OUR CHERISHED SAMPRADHAYAM .We need

Your pledges and support at your earliest convenience

so that we can forward the needed Developmental funds

to Bangalore for the design and cutting of the Demo CD ROM

in the next four weeks .Please let your Friends

know of this most important project and request

them to join in .

 

Many thanks in advance .

May ANDAL's blessings be with

You and Your Family always ,

Daasan SadagOpan

P.S : We have received sofar $416 worth of pledges

from Four BhakthAs . We have to raise 3584$ to raise

fro this immediate needs .
