Sri:

Srimathe Nigamantha Mahadesikaya Namaha:

 

Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam cordially

invites all bhagavathas for a grand parayanam of Swami Desikan

Sthothrams, Sri Desika Prabhandhams and Sri Paduka Sahasram at Swami

Desikan Sannidhi in Sri Ranganatha Temple, Pomona, New York. The vast

wealth that Swami Desikan has given us is his Sri Sookthis through which

he has established this great Srivaishnava Sampradayam and Sri

Ramanuja's sidhdhantham on firm grounds. Considering that the attempt to

do the parayanam of all of Swami' Desikan's sthothrams, prabhandhams and

Sri Paduka Sahasram in just about 12 total hours is a mammoth task, we

plan to recite with three ghostis in parallel, spread between two

Sundays Sep 28, 2003 and on Oct 05,2003, the Thirunakshatram day of

Swami Desikan.

 

The ghosti on Sep 28 will start at 8.00 AM on both days. Swami Desikan

and Sri Srinivasa Perumal share the same Thirunakshatram day

(Purattasi-Sravanam) every year. Sri Aadivan Satakopan's (the first

Jeeyar of Sri Ahobila Matam) thirunakshtram (actual day Oct 01) is also

being observed on Oct 5 at Sri Ranganatha Temple. This is a Triple Bonus

for all Srivaishnavas to come to this temple that day. Sri Ranganatha

temple has planned a great celebration on Oct 5 with Thirumanjanam for

Sri Srinivasa Perumal and Acharyas, Purappadu for Swami Desikan and Sri

Aadivan Satakopan with other special events to celebrate this great day.

We can never repay the upahAram that Swami Desikan has done to us all

and we should be proud to be born in this great sampradayam. Please come

with your family and participate in this great Acharya's

thirunakshatram, the thirunakshtram of Sri Srinivasa Perumal, Sri

Aadivan Satakopan and in all of these ghostis and enjoy the bhagavath

anubhavam as enjoyed by Swami Desikan Himself which is displayed in

every one of Swami's Sri Sookthis.
