Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Dear Sri Varna: Yes, the SVBM indeed had a very good year in terms of spiritual and religious activities.

SVBM / VMS (West Coast) in 2001 namaskAra 2001 was a memorable year for both good and bad !!!. Of course manyofyou may say that it was only bad, due to thousands of deaths andsuffering due to killing earthquake in India, barbaric terrorism actin US and so on.... I was just recollecting my exact one year(Jan 10) here in CA, andwhen I looked back, I could say that I had spiritually a very goodyear in association with SVBM / VMS( West Coast). Out of 52 weeks we had 43 functions, not including those continuoussessions of Shri Bannanje and Shri Sumadhva Vijaya Classes by ShriPadaki. Also other gatherings like Shri Hari Vayu sthuthi Punascharaneetc at many houses are not included. Probably we could not added 9more due to Ekadashis coming on weekend !!!!. All the parents of madhva bandhu who visited Bay area were happy tohad the opportunity to participate in one or the other function andblesses us with many more!!!. We could generate around $110, forTatvavada English Magazine and to Shri Palimaru MaTa, around$225 towards books of Shri Kallapur Gururajachar, to name a few. Alsothe SVBM website is updated with plenty of spiritually enlighteningmaterials and works of Shri madhanUru viShNuthIrTharu. I tried to recollect my memories here and here is glimpse of what2001 was. Of course there are many more to add to the list. I conveymysincere thanks to each one of you and pray Shri Hari to bless all of uswith many more spiritually enlightening years."ninna dhaasaanudaasara sangavirali hariyE"namaskAraB.GopalakrishnaSend FREE video emails in Mail!http://promo./videomail/ nAham kartA hariH kartA tatpUjA karmachaakhilam.h|taThaapi matkR^itaa pUja tatprasaadhEna naanyaThaa|tadbhakti tadphalam.h mahyam.h tatprasaadaat.h punaH punaH |karmanyaasO harAvevam.h vishNOsthR^iptikaraH sadhA ||"I am not the doer, shri Hari is the doer, all the actions that I do are His worship. Even then, the worship I do is through His grace and not otherwise. That devotion and the fruits of the actions that come to me are due to His recurring grace" If one always practices to do actions with a dedicated spirit to Hari, in this way, it pleases Vishnu. --- Quoted by Sri madhvAchArya in GitA tAtparya --To send an empty E-mail (without subject and body info.) to - --Visit VMS at http://www.madhva.orgView the latest events in the US by selecting the 'Events' link-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
