Options for Bhagavatha participation

We are in the last stretch and so far there's been great participation in person(in spite of the whether - Special Thanks to ALL), on the bridge and via the web. Hope many of you can come in person and make it a bigger success.

1. Conference Dial-in Number: (218) 844 -0840 - Participant Access Code: 676087# (*6 to mute/unmute)2. Live Streaming of Perumal - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sri-adhyayana-utsav

Trivia for today:

1. Nammazhwar after pouring out about the need to reach Perumal, today declares towards the end that the most satisfying thing for him is service and being in the company of bhagavathas that worship the 4 armed one. There is nothing greater in the life than being respectful and in service of HIS adiyars, adiyars, adiyars he declares.

2. Today's pasuram Thiruchinnamalai is actually a prelude to the expansion of the Rahasyatrayams we will recite from Desika Prabhandham tommorrow. The order for chanting as set by our Acharyas are not random.

3. Thiruchinnamalai is Swami Desikan's joyous outpouring on seeing Lord of Hasthigiri in purappAdu with vadyams. And he reminds us of the majesty of his gait in ever line.

4. Srimad Mysore Andavan in the recent past (~30 yrs) had a similar experience while having sevai of the Lord of Hasthigiri and apparently instantly poured out a sanskrit version of Thiruchinnamalai preserving word to word, and ending each pasuram jsut as Swami Desikan has.
