Sri Ramanuja Mission requests that all Acharya Sambhavana for this occasion be mailed by bhagavathas in USA with a check payable to "Sri Ramanuja Mission" and mailed to 14433 Settlers Landing Way, MD 20878. Bhagavathas living outside may directly send their sambhavana to Ashramam in India.

Dear Bhagavathas, sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan,

Exactly one month from now on March 28, 2007, we will be celebrating the CENTENARY (101st Thirunakshatam - Sathamaana Mahotsavam) of one of the greatest Acharyas of our times Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam. At about the same time now next month, many great present Srivaishnava Acharyas led by Srimath Srimushnam Andavan will be assembled at Srirangam with thousands of sishyas and abhimanis for celebrating Thirukkudanthai Andavan's centenary Thirunakshatram in a Grand and fitting manner.

Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan was in the acharya peetam for 26 years (5th April 1963- 10th April 1989) covering the length and breadth of Bharatha desam on foot to spread our great Ramanuja philosophy of Saranagathy to Emperumaan Lord Sriman Narayana. One should remember Swami Desikan's testimony that not even our Lord Narayana can try to repay an Acharyan for all the upakAram he does to his sishya, for enlightening with knowledge and dispelling the darkness. Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan has done Mahopakaram to not only his sishyas but to our entire srivaishnava community. His entire life both before His ascension to acharya peetam as Kannan Swami and after the ascension as Thirukkudanthai Andavan was a truly golden period in the modern history of Srivaishnavam. Srimath Andavan's scintillating upanyasams brought back thousands of bhagavathas from all sects of sishya parampara from both kalais to the main fold wherever he went, and made them realize the greatness of our sampradayam. If not for great acharyas like Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan, many srivaishnava families would have veered away into modernism and lost the treasure that is our sampradayam, forever. The Mahopakaram that Srimath Andavan has done to our sampradayam cannot be repaid back by any measure. But as a small way of paying back for an Acharyan's upakaram, let all of us all Srivaishnavas from all kalais and all sishya parampara join hands together and sing the praise and glory of this mahaan and celebrate His centenary Thirunakshatram in a grand manner.

Sri Ramanuja Mission of Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam plans to celebrate the Centenary in a grand manner and coordinate the celebrations in many locations through out USA and abroad during the weekend of March 24-25 and March 31-April 1. We request sishyas and abhimanis in all nooks and corners of USA and all other places outside India to come forward and host the Thirunakshatram with other srivaishnavas, sishyas and abhimanis of Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan living in and around the cities together as a single family. For those needing guidance on what to do and how to celebrate, we plan to make it easy by mailing out CDs that has traditional parayanam and sambhavanai kramam, that is easy to play and follow together. Please reply back to Adiyen (shyam.sreenivasan / shyam.sreenivasan) with your contact details as soon as possible so that we can plan for a memorable celebration.
