Dear Sri Satyanarayana,

 

I don't understand what you are trying to convey from emails like

this. You have missed reporting on important occasions related to

Vaishnavism like dhanurmAsa celebrations, ManavALa mahAmuni, Vedanta

Desika, Ramanuja and several azhwars' birthdays, which are

celebrated in the Govindaraja swamy temple, while Ramanuja birhtday

is also celebrated on the hill.

 

Regards

Vishnu
