Sathsangha at Thirukoilur

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

The Program (in the text as well as in the attached file) for the already

announced Sathsangha in Sri Ragothama Thirtha Brindavana complex in

Manampoondi near Thirukoilur on Sep 15-18 is given below . This has evolved

after a lot of discussions among the participating scholars and we pray and

hope this Sathsangha to be useful and memorable, by the Grace of Sri Hari,

Vayu, Gurugalu.

 

Arrangements have been made for accommodation and food for all the days of

the Sathsangha. It is likely Sri Sathyathma Thirtharu and group will

participate in this Sathsangha either from Sep 16 or from Sep 17. The other

participating scholars giving lectures are Sri Prahaladacharya, Sri

Ramachandracharya, Sri Sathyadhyanacharya, Sri Anandathirtha Nagasampige,

Sri Malege Jayatheerthacharya. A group of ardent devotees of Sri Ragothama

Rayaru and good experts in divine Devaranama singing in bhajan style from

Madras is also participating.

 

The overall theme for the Sathsangha is Bhagavata. There is an interesting

Vakyarta on Anandaikarana on the last day. Topic for one talk is

deliberately left open for the audience to decide at the time of the

Sathsangha.

 

Program is built in such a way providing for " total immersion " in spiritual

pursuits, like lectures, poojas, devaranama samkirthanas, from dawn to

night, giving ample opportunities for shravana, manana. It is also

encouraged for participants to undertake " seva " to Sri Ragothama Thirtharu

either for fullfilling any past owes or just as a spiritual offering to Sri

Ragothama Thirtharu. This involves taking the sankalpa and observing the

prescribed niyama nishtas, like taking shower both in the morning and

evening, doing pradakshina namaskara to Sri Rayara Brindavana in the

morning and evening, having food only once a day etc.

 

I request the participants to confirm their participation giving their

headcount. Please do so without delay. This is critical for moving ahead

and to make sure of proper arrangements.

 

Participants are requested to take care of transportation to and from

Thirukoilur on their own. We are still evaluating arranging a charter bus

at our expense from Madras. A devotee in the USA has also offered to

undertake transportation expenses for the participants in need of this

assistance.

 

Please also note that Sri Sathyapramodha Thirtha Aradhane is on Sep 19 which

will be performed by Swamiji in Thirukoilur.
