Dear BhakthAs:

 

Today is Sarva EkAdasi and Tomorrow is

SravaNa DwAdasi . Bhagavan's Janma Nakshathram

is SravaNam .It is very sacred for meditation on

Sri Oppiliappan and Thirumalai VenkatEsan.

 

Tomorrow (March 10) is SravaNa DhvAdasi .

The svaroopam and the UpavAsam on SravaNa

DhvAdasi day has been discussed at great length

by Padhmam , VishNu PurANam , NaaradhIyam ,

Smruthi Saara Samucchayam , Aniruddha Samhithai

and Dharma Vrutthi. Prakrutham SrImath Azhagiya Singar

discusses this SravaNa DhvAdasi observances with

quotations from the above sources at considerable

length to instruct us on the ways to observe this

important Vratham.

 

The central message is that Sravana DhvAdasi UpavAsam

(Fasting) can be substituted for the regular EkAdasi

UpavAsam as it yields the boons of observing

10,000 Regular EkAdasi UpavAsams.Those who can not

observe EkAdasi or SravaNa DhvAdasi fasting due to

number of saasthra-accepted reasons are

permitted to take milk, Fruits and other food items

permitted on EkAdasi days.

 

On the sacred eve of SravaNa DhvAdasi , adiyEn would like

to dedicate a new named "Oppiliappan ".

Desams will be additional areas of activity.

 

This group will coexist with all other outstanding private

and Public List groups like Bhakthi List, SrI Ranga SrI ,
