[Guest guest]

Sri:

Dear Ramanuja SrivaishnavAs

Adiyen wish to bring a small change in the name of favory in India as "Vedics"

and not as "Vedics India" ,

Also On May 8th Vedics had already done the inaugral ceremony in Sirupuliyoor

Divya Desam and it was well received by the local BhAghavadas and it really

serve the local community to conduct Bhajans, Divya Prabhandham recitation etc

on regular basis .

On behalf of all , Vedics dedicated those structures to the bhAghavadas, on this

occassion Srinivasa Perumal Thirumanjanam , Divya Prabhandha sevai and

bhAghavada DhadheeAradhanai (for 200 +) also happened along with great local

people participation and enjoying the occassion very much

On Behalf of Vedics(I) , Adiyen prays "Pallandu Pallandu" to the Thiruvady

Thamarai of Divya Dhampathy , Alwar and Acharyas though last but not least the

bhghavadas who contributed for this kaimkaryam for blessing us an oppurtunity

to serve His adiyavar and pray for many such kaimkaryams in future (eg What

Sridhar swamin has mentioned)

Most importantly wish to inform the Adiyavar kulAm that those interested in

visiting this Divya Desam can approach us, we will be able to take care of them

, also similarly Vedics(I) can serve the interested Bhaghavadas in making

arrangements for touring the Divya Desams , for more info pl contact us
