A message from Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy

[Guest guest]

Dear bhAgavathas,

 

Sri V. Krishnan Swamy is having some problems with a virus on his PC, so

he has asked me to forward this message to all of you:

Srimate Ramanujaya Namaha.

The second anniversary of Swamy Nammalwar India Foundation is being

celebrated on 1st July 2001 at T. Nagar chennai. Each year the

foundation takes the opportunity of submitting the title "Srivaishnava

Simham" to

the lotus feet of three Vidwans. One from Tennacharya sampradayam, one

from

Desika sampradayam and one Prapanna vidwan.

 

Last year Sri. U. Ve. T. A. Krishnamachariar Swamy (tirupati), Sri. U.

Ve. Perukkarai Chakravartiachariar Swamy, and Sriman Endur Swamy were

conferred the title.

 

This year, Sri. U. Ve. Purisai Krishnamachariar Swamy, Sri. U. Ve

Puttur Krishnaswamy Iyengar Swamy and Sriman Dindigul Toppuswamy would

be

conferred this title. I need not elaborate on their selfless service in

the

propagation of Srivaishnavism. This can never be valued.

 

But considering it as our duty and pleasure we submit a token purse of

Rs. 10,000 (USD 250) to them on that day. I did not request any of you

last

year for sponsorship. But now that I know many of you are interested in

participating financially for noble causes, I am putting up this

request.

 

You can either take up the sambhavai of one swamy or contribute

whatever you can. We would pool this and offer it to the swamys. Your

name (or if

you want it in your parents name), would be read on the day of the

anniversary.

 

You would agree with me that this is too small an amount. I would like

to increase this amount being offered to them. Please note that you must

 

be willing to donate this amount year after year.This is purely my

initiative.

 

Neither the foundation, nor the swamys

would like anything of this sort. But I thought that many bhagavatas

should

have the opportunity to participate in this and so this request.

Thondaradippodi alwar says ' kurangugal malayai nookka " Many monkeys

joined together

in lifting one boulder while building sethu. One monkey was capable of

lifting many rocks. But since every monkey wanted to serve Rama, and the

number

of rocks were less than the number of monkeys, many monkeys had to lift

one rock. Let us also join together in serving these Srivaishnavas.

 

We are short of time. So I request you to just send me a mail about

your willingness and the amount. All donations can be routed through:

 

 

International Ramanuja Society

c/o Sri Mohan Sagar

1239 South Boston Street

Denver CO 80231

 

who inturn would remit one cheque to Swamy Nammalwar India Foundation.

Pls mark a copy of the mail you send to me to Sri Mohan Sagar
