DAILY ARCHANAI TO LORD SUDARSANA WITH CHANTING OF SUDARSANA STOTRAS

FROM JULY 15TH TO AUGUST 31ST, 2005

For the 3rd year in succession, mandala archanai is proposed to

conduct to lord Sudarsana(Chakkratthazhvar) at kanchipuram from JULY

15TH TO AUGUST 31ST, 2005 (48 DAYS). This was started in the year

2003 as a prayer to God to offer protection against the dreaded SARS

disease, which broke out that year. This archanai of 108 divine names

will be performed with silver coins embossed with the figure of Lord

Sudarsana on one side and the lotus flower on the other. Everyday,

flowers would be offered to the lord. On the final day, besides

archanai to Sri Chakkratthazhvar, archanais will be performed to Lord

Varadaraja and Goddess Perundevi Thayar. It is also proposed to

arrange for a daily recital of the powerful sudarsana-satakam to ward

off all evils. At the end of the mandala archanai, thadeeyaradhanai

will be conducted for poor Brahmins and vastrams will be given to

them.

Those who wish to participate in this programme are requested to

communicate their names, address, gotras, birth-stars and special

prayers if any, so that the daily archanai may be performed in their

names. Further they should also give an undertaking to chant, in

their respective houses, the sudarsana-ashtakam and the shodas-ayutha

stotras composed by Swamy Sri Vedanta Desikan. All can chant these

Stotras, but it is essential that men and boys invested with the

sacred thread should perform sandhyavandhanam daily. Only then

results will be obtained.the entire cost of this prayer-programme is

being borne by the above sabha. But those who are willing and can

afford can send money towards the cost of flowers only (about Rs 10/-

per day). After the completion of the prayers, the silver coins used

in the archanai would be sent to those who register their names with

the sabha. Those who contribute to the cost of daily flowers will

also get an additional Sri Sudarsana silver Stand weighing 20 grams

and the book of Sudarsanan Vaibhavam which contains many stotras of

sri Sudarsana.

Several devotees have confirmed the effectiveness of this annual

prayer and have started that their wishes have been fulfilled by the

grace of lord sudarsana. We hope to have more participation from

devotees this year. Generous contributions are requested to provide

to the said below address.
