Vedic Committee

[Guest guest]

Dear Srinath and others,

 

HH Sri Sri Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji Maharaj has started several initiatives in

this regard. Gita Jyothi, Krishnum Vande Jagadgurum and many events over the

past 25 years were in these lines. As part of Gita Jyothi "Worship your own and

Respect All" programme, religious heads from all sampradayams were bought

together, advised and counselled.

 

Please see the most recent Sarva Vaishnava Samgosthi held where over 300

Swamijis from all over India attended. Several resolutions were passed. Ahobilam

Jeeyar had boycotted the great function after he had talks with Kanchi Jayendra

Saraswathi (which was actually very unfortunate). There are a few other

'popular' swamis who couldn't make the event.

 

Some pictures can be found at ---

The common program, the agenda, the programs for execution have already been

defined as part of the Sarva VAishnava Samgosthi.

 

The only support we can do I think is work on mobilizing funds so that this

committee can meet atleast once or twice or thrice every year. We need a fund of

aroound US $200,000 per year to support such events to begin with.

 

 

Jai Srimannarayana!

Nivedana

Dear All,

 

This is an excellent initiative. Lets Start this

without delay.

Dear All,

Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

This is an excellent suggestion. can all the

Vaishnavagroups on the internet form a committe to

work as an agitating group to pave way for a much

wider discussions on this subject. A model code of

conduct and a common minimum programme can be worked

out to start kick start this approach. Can we rise

beyond our narrow outlook and widen our vision to

greater vistas? This will be an excellent service to

Emberumanar Sri Ramanuajar Himself. This is a poser to

members of all groups.

Adiyen,

Dasan,

Ramanujam.
