(unknown)-appreciation & an appeal.

[Guest guest]

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.Naryana Narayana Narayana.

 

Dear Bhagavathas,

 

Our Pranams to all those who think of the sufferings of others.

 

Blessed are those who are bestowed with hearts which think of the

sufferings of fellow beings. The act of offering food to others as

per the program is very welcome.May our Lord make more and more

hearts reach to the needs of the unfortunate people.

 

We, with folded hands, make the following request and appeal to all

the Bhagavathas. Let us make it a point to feed atleast some of the

people around us or in our area who are in difficulty, either as

individuals or as a group , regularly by rotation or by joint

contribution . This will go a long way in mitigating the suffering of

very many people which in essence is a great service to our Lord. Such

simple efforts on our part will give us great mental satisfaction and

promote harmony in the society. We pray Our Lord to make us serve His

children to the best of our capacity.

 

Regards.

KAINGARYAM AT SRIRANGAM

(EIGHTH YEAR ) ON KAISIKA EKADHASI - DHWADHASI , VAIKUNDA

EKADHASI – DHWADHASI

AND PANGUNI UTHIRAM In the Thirupavai, Sri Aandal refers to

Annadhanam as generating Dharma (sorey

Arancheyyum). Annadhanam on “Offering of Food is the Exclusive

Privilege of Ladies. The Sastras declare that Ladies only can offer

Food to Yadhigal and Bhaghavadhargal. They can only offer Rice

Bhiksha to Young Boys on the Day of their Upanayanam (Sacred Thread

Ceremony) Further entertaining guests is also prerogative of Ladies.

Thus Annadhanam is not a Privilege but a sacred duty cast on Ladies.

Epics Record the fact that Sita Devi, Draupadi and Rishipathnis

strictly followed this practice in the lines and entertained several

holy guests. While offering food and entertaining guests anywhere and

anytime would definitely yield merit Punyam to the Ladies, doing so at

SRIRANGAM, particularly to the Vedic Scholars, Bhagavathas and Koil

Archakas (Srirangam) that too in Scared KAISIKA DHWADHASI Day will

bring in untold merit to the Donors. The Merit so accrued will

satisfy the hunger and thirsts to anyone suffering in Narakas. That

is why it is said that, No other donations such as offering clothes,

money, education etc., can equal to Annadhanam. For this reason only

Sri Paduka Sahasra Parayana Ladies offering food to vedic scholars,
