I am very happy to read about the success of this conference and also by the

unanimous resolutions. My compliments to all the SriVaishnavas in India for

their move towards unity and a common vision in preserving and promoting our

satsAmpradayam.

 

I would like to suggest that the success of the Chennai Conference be used as a

precedent on which we SriVaishnavas here in the US can begin similar steps

towards unity and common vision.

 

adiyEn,
