Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 SrI: SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama: Dear BhakthAs: On this auspicious day (987th birthday ) of the avathAra dinam of our dearest AchAryan , I am very happy to share this note below from SrI Maruthi Pavan of India , which appeared in the sister lists. I fully endorse his most sincere appeal and wish to state that there is so much room under the cool shade of the kalpaka Vruksham of AchArya RaamAnujA . AchArya RaamAnujA's Millenium avathAram Celebration is approaching in 14 years (2017 A.D). One of the goals of the establishment of the Ramanuja Society is to plan way ahead of time a grand celebration with durable institutions on ground such as an University named after Him to benefit all VaishnavAs and abhimAnis intersted in SrImad Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam . With our AchAryan's anugraham and participation by all VaishNavite AchAryans and their SishyAs , I feel confident that such a durable institution at an appropriate site would be established and be a beacon of light for years to come as a place to learn about , practise and strengthen this ancient sampradhAyam . May we all thrive from this mahA Sambhandham that we are blessed to have in common ! RaamAnuja Daasan,V.Sadagopan > >Jai Sriman Narayana We are the children of our EmberumAnAr.
