DAILY ARCHANAI TO LORD SUDARSANA WITH CHANTING OF SUDARSANA STOTRAS

FROM JULY 15TH TO AUGUST 31ST, 2005

 

For the 3rd year in succession, mandala archanai is proposed to conduct to lord

Sudarsana(Chakkratthazhvar) at kanchipuram from JULY 15TH TO AUGUST 31ST, 2005

(48 DAYS). This was started in the year 2003 as a prayer to God to offer

protection against the dreaded SARS disease, which broke out that year. This

archanai of 108 divine names will be performed with silver coins embossed with

the figure of Lord Sudarsana on one side and the lotus flower on the other.

Everyday, flowers would be offered to the lord. On the final day, besides

archanai to Sri Chakkratthazhvar, archanais will be performed to Lord Varadaraja

and Goddess Perundevi Thayar. It is also proposed to arrange for a daily recital

of the powerful sudarsana-satakam to ward off all evils. At the end of the

mandala archanai, thadeeyaradhanai will be conducted for poor Brahmins and

vastrams will be given to them.

Those who wish to participate in this programme are requested to communicate

their names, address, gotras, birth-stars and special prayers if any, so that

the daily archanai may be performed in their names. Further they should also

give an undertaking to chant, in their respective houses, the sudarsana-ashtakam

and the shodas-ayutha stotras composed by Swamy Sri Vedanta Desikan. All can

chant these Stotras, but it is essential that men and boys invested with the

sacred thread should perform sandhyavandhanam daily. Only then results will be

obtained.the entire cost of this prayer-programme is being borne by the above

sabha. But those who are willing and can afford can send money towards the cost

of flowers only (about Rs 10/- per day). After the completion of the prayers,

the silver coins used in the archanai would be sent to those who register their

names with the sabha. Those who contribute to the cost of daily flowers will

also get an additional Sri Sudarsana silver Stand weighing 20 grams and the book

of Sudarsanan Vaibhavam which contains many stotras of sri Sudarsana.

Several devotees have confirmed the effectiveness of this annual prayer and have

started that their wishes have been fulfilled by the grace of lord sudarsana. We

hope to have more participation from devotees this year. Generous contributions

are requested to provide to the said below address.
