Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 As a service to our sampradayam in reaching bhagavathas all over USA, by seeking the grace of the padukas of ALL acharyas, Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Asramam has started to conduct Sri Desika Sthothram classes and Divya Prabhandham classes over the telephone bridge every saturday from Mid-November, 2000. We would encourage all the interested bhagavathas to come forward and avail this wonderful oppurtunity to learn slokas in a traditional way. We have started with Sri hayagreeva sthothram and SudharsanAshtakam in Desika Sthothrams. For Divya Prabhandham,we have started with ThirupaLLAndu in Nithyanusandhanam. Children, preferably over 6 years are most welcome to join too. The medium of instruction is English. Please note that it is not AT ALL late to join now as we are progressing at a slow and steady pace. Please visit our web site at www..org to read more details about tele-sthothram and tele-prabhandam. Registration for the class is done at our website. Please remember that there is no cost involved in this kainkaryam. Tradition: Our goal is to teach this in a traditional way. Each of the Slokas/Paasurams in the Sthothram/Prabhandham will be broken down by padam (words) and will be requested to be repeated twice in a slow and coordinated way. This will be reduced to repeating once in future lessons and finally recited by each individual after reaching a comfort level. Class Frequency: Every saturday 12:30 - 01:15 Prabhandam Class and 01:15 - 0200 Sthothram Class Adhyapakas (teachers): The Prabhadham classes will be taught by Sri Venkat Sreenivasan and Sri Narayanan (both from New Jersey) on an alternating basis. The Desika Sthothram classes will be taught by Sri Sundar Kidambi (from Boston) and Sri Shyamsundar Sreenivasan (from New Jersey) on an alternating basis. Text Material for Sthothrams and Prabhandams www.prapatti.com has a good collection of the text in PDF format in a variety of languages including Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada. This site is being maintainted by Sri Sunder Kidambi. Please visit the web site and download the sloka text if needed. Please be informed that the audio clips are made available for the classes already completed. For new people interested in joining the classes, they could visit the site and download the lessons. Please visit our website to get more details. dAsan, Venkatanathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 I think Sri Ramanuja Mission folks are doing an excellent job in teaching strotrams and prabandams. I think Adults should make efforts to get youngsters join the classes. It may be a little difficult to adjust to the discipline. But once that is acquired, these classes will have a profound effect on the participants' lives. I thank the members of Sri Ramanuja Mission for taking such an active role : Shyam Srinivasan, Venkat Srinivasan, Narayanan Viraraghavan & Sunder Kadambi. If I have left out some one I might have done that by error. adiyen Krishna Kalale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
