Exactly two months from today, Wednesday June 8, 2005 is Prakrutham

Srirangam Srimath Andavan Sri Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan's 71st

Thirunakshatram Mahotsavam (Sapthathi). Srimath Srimushnam Andavan was

born in "Vaikasi" Month on star "Thiruvadirai". Preparations are well

underway for a very grand celebration of the Sapthathi of Srimath

Andavan's Thirunakshatram at the PeriAshramam in Srirangam where

thousands of Sevarthis and vidwans will be participating in various

Grantha Paraanam, Veda Parayanams and Vidwat Sadas starting on June 4th.

Many of you might have seen postings in various from Sri R.

Rajagopal (Chairman, National Committee of Srirangam Srimadh Andavan

Ashramam) on the details of the grandest celebrations being planned.

 

An AchAryan's Thirunakshtram is a very important day in a sishyA's

calendar. One should remember Swami Desikan's testimony that not even

our Lord Narayana can try to repay an Acharyan for all the upahAram He

does to his sishya. We as sishyas, can only join together and sing His

praise and spread our Acharya's glory. Last year Srimath Andavan's

sishyas and abhimanis living in USA had the great bhAgyam of celebrating

their Acharyas Thirunakshatram with other sishyas in their vicinity,

through the auspices of Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath

Andavan Ashramam in 16 Cities in USA. The year before it was conducted

in 8 cities. In keeping up with the tradition of doubling the

celebrating locations, this year Sri Ramanuja Mission hopes to organize

the thirunakshatram in 32 different locations in USA and outside India,

during the weekend of June 11-12, 2005 for all the sishyas of our

illustrious Acharyan to celebrate this important day.

 

We seek the sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Andavan to come forward to

help with the hosting and organization of this event in their vicinity

(home/temple). All we need is for our Andavan's sishyas and abhimanis

living in the vicinity of each other to join hands and celebrate our

Acharyan's Thirunakshatram together. Please reply adiyen ASAP at

shyam.sreenivasan

<atshyam.sreenivasan so that we can plan for

a grand celebrations in USA and other locations outside India too.
