EDITORIAL

Dear Bhagavatas:

On this "KooDArai vellum Seer" day, we are happy to dedicate this

16th Issue of "Sri Ranga Sri" at the holy feet of "SooDIk koDutha

SuDarkkkoDI", ANDAL and Yathi SArvabhouma H.H. Srimad Andavan,

Prakritam Pontiff of Poundarikapuram Swami Ashramam, ParavakkoTTai

Srimad GoOpAladesika mahA Desikan Swami. In this issue, we conclude

the present series on "AchArya Vamsa Vriksham" with a homage to this

great mahAn (in addition to the usual feature of "Sri Ranga Vijayam")

 

May the NachiyAR who gave us this gem of message in "KooDArai vellum

Seer" help us win over by our sheer love and affection, even those

who may not be well disposed of towards us and bless us with perfect

amity, mutual understanding and friendly cooperation in the days

ahead!

 

May this great Maharishi of PounDarikapuram Ashramam whose

SathAbhishEkam celebrations (81st Birthday) are slated for

March 24-31, 2001 bless us to realize his twin themes of

 AnushTAnam at the personal level and

 unity of SrivishNavas at the community level!

 

All the Prakritam Yathis of Swami Desika SampradAyam, notably H.H.

Azhagiyasinghar of AhObila Mutt, H.H. Srirangam Srimad Andavan of

PeriyAsramam, H.H. Abhinava VAgheesa Brahma Tantra Swatantra Swami of

ParakAla Mutt, Mysore, Sri Rangapriya Yathi of AshTAnga YOga VigjnAna

Mandiram, Bangalore - act as Patrons and will grace the occasion by

their presence.

 

This is the time for all of us to join them by closing our ranks and

rallying behind this messiah of unity - a message which he is never

tired of emphasizing - a message delivered to us also by H.H. Srimad

Andavan of PeriyAsramam and Sri Rangapriya Yathi in their recent Tele-

Upanyasams.

 

This is the time for all Sishyas and AbhimAnis of all monastic

institutions to demonstrate their unity by unanimously coming

together and contributing their best both monetarily and by

physically attending the celebrations
