Our Acharya Sarvabhouman Swami Desikan's 733rd Thirunakshatram

(Purattasi-Thiruvonam) is falling on Sep 28, 2001 this year. By seeking

the blessings of Swami Desikan and the Padukas of all vaishnava acharyas,

SriVaishnavas in New Jersey have planned to undertake a Maha Sankalpam

to recite ALL of Swami Desikan's Sthothra Mala (28 sthothrams in sanskrit

+ 1 in prakrit), Sri Desika Prabhandham (18 prabhandhams) and Sri Paduka

Sahasram (1008 verses in 32 padhathis) in a short span of 6 weeks. The

plan is to recite Sri Desika Sthothrams and Prabhandhams on every Friday

between 8.30 PM - 10.00 PM ET starting this coming Friday Aug 17 and to

recite all of Sri Paduka Sahasram on Sunday Sep 23. The friday venues will

be the grihams of the participants. If you are interested in participating,

please reply adiyen at shyam.sreenivasan (AT) morganstanley (DOT) com to get the details

and driving directions to the venues each week.

If there is sufficient interest from bhagavathas across

USA to participate in this great opportunity, we plan to broadcast this

over telephone bridge. There is **no cost** involved for participating.

This is a fitting tribute to Swami Desikan and will give us an opportunity

to recite and hear the great works of one of the greatest acharyas of our

sampradayam. Please reply adiyen if you are interested to participate thru

tele-bridge.
