Divyaprabandothsavam 11/23 to 11/25

 

Jai Srimannarayana!

srimathE rAmAnujAya namaha

 

With the Divine Mangalasasanams of Sri Sri Sri

Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar

Swamiji, 'Divyaprabandothsavam' chanting of the entire

Nalayira Diyaprabandham for the first time in USA at

Sri Siva Vishnu Temple (SSVT), Lanham, MD went very

well. The entire event was self funded by

Vikasatarangini, Washington DC center of JET USA with

the assistance and gracious consent by the SSVT

management in coming forth to hold the event in the

temple.

 

The prabandham was chanted for three days in the

presence of Utsawar Perumal and Alwar utswars from

11/23 to 11/25 daily from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM. The

program concluded on 11/25 at 12:45 Noon by offering

the prabandham and Alwar sambhavanai to the lotus feet

of Lord Venkateswara.

 

We offer our thanks to his H.H. Sri Sri Sri Tridandi

Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji in

sending Sriman Uve Venkateswara Iyengar swamigal to

conduct this divine event.

 

We offer our thanks to Sriman Uve Venkatesan Iyengar

swamivaru in chanting the entire prabandham and

providing discourses at the beginning of each and

every prabandham. We could not have performed this

event without the guidance and dedication of Sriman

Venkatesan Iyengar swamivaru. Most importantly, his

concluding message explaining the significance of

Alwar Sambhavana and the necessity for prabandham

chanting in all the temples touched evryones heart

especially to the temple management, 25 scholars

comprising the prabandham goshti and nearly 200

Bagawat Bandhus present.

 

We thank SSVT chair person Sriman K.G.Venkatraman for

his support and enduring love for Bagawat kainkaryam.

We thank the SSVT priests for their dedication and

support in Utsawar alankaranam and Satumurai

participation.

 

We Vikasa Tarangini, Washington DC center offer our

thanks to the entire Divyaprabandham Goshti for sEvA

kAlam, comprising of nearly 25 dedicated Bhagavatas

who made this event a grand success. The Goshti

comprised of attendees from Chicago, Denver, New

Jersey, Nebraska, Pittsburg and locally from

Washington DC suburbs. As soon as we posted the event

in the various eGroups such as 'JET' 'Bakthi' 'NAMA'

etc. we had a overwhelming response from all parts of

USA to participate and chant the prabandham. On an

average the Goshti comprised not less than 14 people

chanting at any given time. We thank each and everyone

of the Prabandham Goshti in taking lot of effort to

come from all part of USA. The entire atmosphere was

charged with the divine chanting and we all are still

experienceing the reverberation of the divine slokas

long after the program has concluded.

 

The dedication & devotion that we saw in Sri

RamanujaMission Inc members is truly inspirational and

we sincereley thank Sri RamanujaMission. Our thanks

especially to Sriman Madhavan Nadadur for hosting

Ramanuja mission members from New Jersey. Our thanks

to Sriman Poondi Vijaya Raghavan for committing the

entire Ramanuja Mission to support and participate in

the event.

 

We thank Sriman Venkatesan Iyegar for his guidance and

priya Mukunda, Varadan and Ananda for their

preparation of picture posters of all the Alwars.

They did a superb job in preparing the picture posters

as it was very useful for children and adults to learn

the significance and contribution of our Alwars.

 

Our Special Thanks to Prasadam contributions by

various devotees. There was countless hours of happy

involvement in preparation of nearly 35 different

prasadams. (so many bhaktas were saying thanks to

Anna Data.)

 

Our thanks to Belur family, Sadananda family, Sriman

Parthasarathi family, Bansal family, Barathi Reddy

family, Prathivadi family, Srinivasa Kumar family,

Vinjamuri family, Venkatramana family, priya

Parakalan, Prakruti and many others who have rendered

help and support in Prasadam preparation or Pushpa

kainkaryam or Mandapam setup and alankaram. Our

thanks to Sri.Venkatachalam for assisting in recording

the event. Last not but not least we thank all our

local Vikasatarangini members for their hardwork in

making this event a grand success.

 

With Acharya anugraham and Perumal sankalpam we look

forward in celebrating more of these divine yaagams

for Lokakalyanam.
