My humble namaskarams to Sri Mani Varadarajan and all members of the Bhakti

Group

Pls allow adiyen a few minutes to present a short introduction abt my self.

 

[ * For those who already know me or have met me before please bear with

me.Thanks :-) ]

 

I was born and raised in Singapore.I am 24 yrs old and currently working ( on

temporary contract) at

a local bank.Though my family is predominantly made up of smarthas ( with few

members more inclined

towards perumal) adiyen is the odd one out.

 

Since an injury I sustained during my military service, I gradually became

inclined towards the philosophy

and practice of Ramanuja Sampradaya.It was during this time I spent much of my

time reading books on

The Azhvars and Ramanuja.I did have some exposure prior to that from an old

friend Rhagurama Bhatta

of Sri Villiputtur( former archaka , Srinivasa Perumal Temple,Singapore).The

story of Yamunacharya,

Ramanuja and Alavanthar's Stotraratna ( though I don't know it by heart) have

been inspirational to adiyen also.

 

The main higlights in my life are daily offerings of naivedyam to the panchaloha

murthy of Vennai

Thaazhi Krishnan and weekly thirumanjana kaimkaryam to this murthy which was a

gift to me by my

elders.I recite almost daily the at least the pothu thaniyans( both Ramanuja

Dayapatram & Sri Sailesa Dayapatram).

My goal is to take shelter of a Sadacharyan for samashrayanam within the next

year, once I land a secure

job.

 

I completed my BBA, Marketing at the University of San Francisco (1997) ,USA and

currently I am

pursuing a part time post-graduate diploma in E-Commerce at the Marketing

Institute of Singapore.

I have worked on some Sampradayam related websites with Sriman Satakopan Swamin

and Sriman

Madhavakkannan Swamin in the past 2 years two of which the following is

particularly dear to adiyen:http://shrikrishna.homepage.com Which is a foucs on

Lord Krishna from the Sri Vaishnava Perspective.

 

It was through the constant encouragement and blessings of Sri Madhavakkannan

Swamin that I started

participating in the NAMA Singapore activities.All the Bhagavathals- Sri M.S

Hari, Smt Mailini Sridhar ,

Sriman Andnad & Praveena Anand ,et al. in the Singapore group have been very

hospitable and encouraging

and have been of great help in all my projects relating to The Sri Viashnava

Tradition.

 

I would also like to thank Sri Mani Varadarajan for allowing adiyen to join

bhakti group and providing me an

opportunity to mingle with all the great bhakthas of Sriman Narayana represented

in this group.Humble

apologies for the lengthy note.

 

With Best Wishes
