AT VARIOUS CITIES AROUND THE WORLD in the week of May 21st-29th, 2006 (Please refer the chart below for exact date/time for a location near you). We request all Srivaishnavas: Andavan Ashramam sishyas, abhimanis and all other bhagavathas to join these hosts nearest to their area and celebrate together with other sishyAs and bhAgavathas and get the blessings of Srimath Andavan on this grand occasion. Srimushnam Andavan's Thanian VEdhAntha lakshmana muneendra krupAtthabOdham ThadpAdha yugmasaraseeruha brungha rAjam Thraiyantha yugma kruthaboori parisramamtham Sriranga lakshmana munim saranam prabhadyE Srivaishnava AchAryAs are GyAnis who sacrifice all attachments in life to serve Lord Sriman Narayana, guide us in the righteous path and the path of Saranagathy. Retaining AchAryA’s teachings in one's mind, singing the glory and spreading the AchAryA’s greatness, are only very minuscule payback to an Acharya when compared to the great sacrifice an acharya undergoes for His sishyas. Our great AchAryAs have preserved the traditions unbroken through the ages and aglow with ever fresh relevance to changing circumstances of contemporary times. The 11th Andavan of Srimath Andavan Periaashramam, His Holiness Sri Ranga RAmAnuja

MahADEsikan is one such sadhAcharyan who has uplifted many a soul to the holy feet of Lord Narayana, to bring deliverance to thousands of disciples from ever revolving samsAra. Srimath Andavan's Sapthathi (72nd Thirunakshatram) is celebrated as a Mahotsavam at Chennai Alwarper Ashramam today. For the benefit of the many bhagavathas living outside India and unable to participate, Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam along with many hosts will be celebrating the Thirunakshatra mahotsavam around the world in the week of May 21st-29th, 2006. It will be a fitting tribute to Srimath Andavan when all Srivaishnavas together like these great Acharyas, and celebrate this joyous occasion. We request you to kindly utilize this opportunity and get the blessings of Srimath Andavan and Sri Ranganatha Divya dampathis. For all the upahAram that an acharyan does in the service of uplifting our souls to do nithya kainkaryam to Lord Narayana, giving various upanyasams and kalakshebhams even in the midst of tiring sancharams and for constantly taking up many projects for performing bhagavath kainkaryam and for sustenance of our age old Srivaishnava sampradayam....all we can do is to sing His praise and offer our Acharya sambhavanai regularly particularly on the occasion of His thirunakshatram. We seek generous contributions from Srimath Andavan's sishyas, abimanis, all other Srivaishnavas and bhagavathas alike to achieve this target to support Srimath Andavan's key initiatives like Veda Patasala and sustenance and propagation of our Srivaishnava sampradayam. you can mail a check payable to "Sri Ramanuja Mission", 14433 Settlers
