[RamanujaMission] RE: Tribute to Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy

[Guest guest]

Dear All:

 

Namaste. The Bhagavat Kainkaryam of Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy mama have been

manifold namely through lectures, electronic journals, books, participation in

workshops and forums. I have had the opportunity of being with him in several

forums and panels. In one of the NAMA panel with youth at the Ranganatha Temple,

Pomona, New york, I remember his enthusiasm in discussing the issues with youth.

May Acharyas and Lord bless him to continue the kainkaryam.

Sriranga Smaranam, MG Prasad

[RamanujaMission] RE: Tribute to Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy

 

 

Dear Sri Sudarshna Madabushi Swamin,

 

On behalf Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc of Srirangam

Srimath Andavan Ashramam adiyen would like to thank

devareer and the parama bhagavaths of "Tiruvenkatam"

for sharing the historic moments of when,

where and how Sri Anbil Swami has influenced you all,

though his selfless kaimkaryam. To this day, we have

been flooded with flurry of e-mails from many others

sharing how they all benefited from his service and

endorsing SRMs decision to confer the lifetime

achievements title Kaimkarya Rathnam on

him.

 

It is heartening to know that SRM efforts in

honoring Anbil mama are complimented and endorsed not

only by Hindus and Sri Vaishnavas all around the word,

but by many scholars belonging to other faiths as well.

 

 

While we all enjoy the sprit of joy and

accomplishment of this great scholar, SRM would like

to pray to Divya Dhampathi to bestow him with all the

happiness and more and more kaimkarayams in the years

to come.

 

Once again, thanks for your active participation in

this grant event.

 

Dasan
