TOMORROW REMINDER: Srimath Andavan Thirunakshatram Celebrations all over USA

[Guest guest]

TOMORROW IS SRIMATH ANDAVAN THIRUNAKSHATRAM. DETAILS OF ALL LOCATIONS OF

THE CELEBRATION GIVEN BELOW IN A CHART. (Correction on the Venue is to

be noted for Ames, IA) PLEASE ATTEND IN THE LOCATION NEAREST YOU AND GET

THE BLESSINGS OF THE ACHARYA.

 

AchAryAs are JnAnis who are dearer to God. Praising AchAryA’s glory.

Retaining AchAryA’s teachings in mind and spreading AchAryA’s greatness

etc., are only very very small when compared to what an AchAryA has done

to the sishyas. It is our purva janma punyam that we have our AchAryAs

to guide us in the righteous path and spread the fragrance of

Arulicheyal and Divya sukthi of Alwars and PurvAcharyas and the

philosophy of VishistAdvaitA, traveling far and wide throughout the

country. For all the upahAram that an acharyan does by sacrificing all

the pleasures of life in the service of uplifting our souls to do nithya

kainkaryam to perumal and giving various upanyasams and kalakshebhams

even in the midst of tiring sancharams and constantly taking up many

arduous projects for performing bhagavath kainkaryam....all we can do is

to sing His praise and offer our Acharya sambhavanai regularyly

particularly during His thirunaksatram.

 

The spiritual wealth of our sacred land lies in the spread of pure

renunciation. Our great AchAryAs have preserved the traditions unbroken

through the ages and aglow with ever fresh revelance to changing

circumstances of contemporary times.

 

As SwAmi VEdAnta DEsika says in SlokA 2 of NyAsa Vimsati,

 

AgNyana DwAntha RoDhAth aga pariharanAdh Atma sAmyAvahatvAth

Janma pradhvamsi janma pratha garimathaya divya drushti prabhAvAth

NishprathyuhA nrusamsyAth niyatharasathayA nithya sEshitva yOgAth

AchAryA: sadbhira prathyupakaranadhiyA dEvavath sYAdhupAsya:

 

The slokA says that

 

" The spiritual preceptor should be worshipped like God by the virtuous

with a service of never being able to re-pay him."

 

SwAmi DEsikA repeats in slokA 38 of AdikAra sangraham,

 

YEtri manathEzhin gNana villakkai irul aNaitthum

MAtrinavarku oru kaimAru mAyanum kAnagillAn..

pOtri Ugappadhum Pundhiyil Kolvadhum Pongu Pugazh

Saatri valarpadhum sarrallavO munnam petradharkE

 

The slokA says that

 

" For that AchAryA who has driven away the darkness of ignorance and

ignited the light of knowledge in mind, even Sriman nArAyanA could not

give a suitable compensation. The only little things we can do for all

help we received are : Sing His praise, remember His deeds in mind and

spread His greatness."

 

As a pontiff of Srimad Andavan Periaashramam, His Holiness Sri Ranga

RAmAnuja MahADEsikan has uplifted many a soul to the holy feet of Lord

nArAyanA through SamAsrayanam and Prapatti to bring deliverance to

thousands of disciples from ever revolving samsAra. His Holiness Srimad

Andavan,s 70th Thirunakshatram is going to be celebrated all over the

United States on 22nd May,2004.

 

As periAzhwAr says pallAndu pallAndu to perumAL, let us pray to the

Divya Dhampathis for blessing our AchAryA, His Holiness Srimath

Srimushnam Andavan Sri Ranga rAmAnuja mahA dEsikan for Longevity with
