Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi Celebration, 1999

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavathas:

 

Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc. requests all Bhagavathas to participate in the Sri

Ramanuja Jayanthi celebrations to be held at Sri Venkateswara Temple in

Bridgewater, New Jersey on Saturday, April 24th 1999.

 

Sri Ramanuja Mission's first anniversary will also be celebrated on the same

day. The Mission is planning to have an one-day event at the temple that

includes the Mission sponsored Abishekam (10:30 -1:00), Srinivasa Kalyanam

(4:00 - 5:30) and discourses by participating Bhagavathas from different

organizations (2:00 - 4.00). Lunch will be provided.

 

The Mission is planning to release the much awaited CDs of Sri Desikar

Sotramala. With Bhavath anugraham, the recordings are expected to be

completed soon. This monumental task of recording over 900 slokas in 28

titles (including Prakrith work of Swami Desikar) has taken nearly two years

to complete. The Achutha Satakam in Prakrith (101 slokas) is incredibly

rare and we are fortunate to have such complete renderings of these slokas,

which is a fitting tribute to the greatness of Sri Vedantha MahaDesika.

This is the world premiere effort of bringing a comprehensive collection of

all the slokas together. The slokas are rendered by Sri Shyam Sundar and

Sri Venkat Srinivasan of New Jersey in a traditional divine recitation, and

English commentary is included before each sloka explaining its meaning and

importance. The final product will be available in six CD volumes. The

Mission is planning to release the first two CDs on Udayavar

Thirunakshathram day.

 

Please contact Sri Vijayaraghavn Poondi at GCL or (732) - 287 -

9062 for any questions on accomadations or travel plans.

 

The Mission seeks your blessing, cooperation, and patronage in the on going

activities of the Mission. Further information on this will be posted in

the near future.
