ANUGRAHA BAASHANAM OF POUNDARIKAPURAM ANDAVAN

[Guest guest]

Special Event On jan. 2 1999

HH Andavan Speaks to US SrivaishnavALs !!

Dear Bhagavatas,

 

You will be happy to know that Parvaakkottai Sri Gopala

Desika Maha Desikan, Prakritam Acharya of Poundarika

puram Asramam has consented to bless us with his

Anugraha Bhashanam on 2nd January 1999.

What a way to start a HAPPY NEW YEAR !

 

It will be music to the ears of our revered Azhagiya

Singhar who has described the Prakritam Poundarikapuram

Andavan as " Nadamaadum Deivam "-'God walking on earth'

to learn that HIS mentor, friend, philosopher and

guide" is giving an Anugraha bashanam to the Bhagavatas

in U.S.A

 

Paravakkottai Sri Gopla Desika Maha Desikan, Prakritam

Srimad Andavan of PP Ashramam is such a Virakta that

he shuns publicity, is totally unostentatious and

believes in an extremely simple and austere life in

tune with the Yathi Dharmam and with total devotion to

Aachaaram and Anushtaanam.

 

Those who have had the opportunity to have even a

glimpse of this Mahan will testify to the veracity of

this fact.

 

He has declined oft repeated offers by many of us to

install a phone in his Asramam (with an Answering

machine and Caller ID, if need be) saying that it would

distract his ceaseless concentration of the Lord.

 

No wonder, all Yathivaras unanimously regard him as

verily "Vasishta" among them. You will remember how at

the time of Sannyasa Sweekaranam of our Azhagiya

Singhar, the Poundarika Puram Andavan blessed him by

sprinkling holy water on him reciting the Mantram

uttered by Sage Vasishta at the time of Sri Rama

Pattabhishekam.

 

It is indeed our bhagyam that he has consented to

deliver his Anugraha Baashanam to us. Let us not fail

to avail of this golden opportunity provided to us.

 

I understand that already 15-20 families have signed up.

Since the time is very short and the capacity of the

bridge is very limited, please sign up with Sri Murali

Rangaswamy immediately and ensure that you do not miss

this mega event.

 

We are extremely grateful to the board members of Sri

Ahobila Muth, USA for their help and support in

providing access to the teleconferencing bridge network

for the Upanyasam and other logistics in the USA.

 

Arrangements for this Upanyasam will be similar to that

of the Anugraha BhashaNam by H.H. the 45th Jeeyar of

Ahobila Matham. The cost per family will be $10.00. Of

course, this does not include the cost of the long

distance call to the bridge network. All interested

Bhaktas will be responsible only for the long distance

call to the teleconferencing bridge.

 

Please note that "YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED ANYTHING

FOR THE CALL TO INDIA". Sri Murali Rangaswamy has

kindly agreed to make the call to India and bear the

resulting cost.

 

Please contact him at - rangaswamy_m to

sign up for the Upanyasam.

 

Further details pertaining to the Upanyasam will be

announced by him shortly.

Namo Narayana,

Anbil Ramaswamy
