[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Haribakthas:

 

Like last year, we are celebrating Sri Sri Ragoothma theerthara aaraadhana this year on Jan. 18th, Saturday at Allentown. Though the actual punya dhina is on Jan. 14th, we are celebrating it on 18th due to the conveniences of the weekend. Please plan on attending with your friends and family. The program will consist of Devara pooja, hastodaka to Sri Ragoothma theertharu, and a short pravachana in the morning followed by theertha prasaada (lunch) around noon. In the afternoon we will have lectures / pravachanas on philosophy of Sri Madhwacharya. The program will conclude with Haridaasara bhajana, evening pooja & mangalarthy, and supper in the night. As in the past, we will make accommodation arrangements for out-of-towners. Detailed program and directions will be given few days before the aaraadhana.

Dear Sri Hari bakthas:

 

There is a slight change in the program:

 

Sri Uttaraadhi Mutt swamiji's anugraha bhaashana will be at 10:30 am instead of 11:30 am. Sri swamiji will be giving his anugraha bhaasana over the phone from Sri Ragoothma theerthara mUla brindaavana at Tirukoilur.

 

We request the devotees to come early and settle down well before 10:30 am. Offering of Hasthodhaka will follow swamiji's bhaasanam.

Kumaar, Krushna Thursday, January 16, 2003 12:42 PM'GV & Shobha Srinivasan'Cc: Kumaar, KrushnaRE: Sri Ragoothma theerthara aaraadhana at Allentown, Jan. 18Thank you very much for this info. My name is Krishna kumaar & I am from Singapore. I am of course a madhva. Are the following things possible ? :1. I would like to listen to the Anugraha bhasana of Sri Uttaraadhi Mutt later due to the time difference. Is it possible to store it in our web site which can be accessed later ?

I would also like to listen to other pravachana's that take place on the day of Jan 18th, if it could be put on web.

 

 

Yes, we hope to tape the pravachana if we able to reach Sri Uttaradhi Mutta Swamiji & will try to put it in the web.

2. I would like to know the mahima of Sri Ragothama Swamigalu. Are you aware of any book in English or Tamil available which can be purchased ? I do visit the Brindavan of Sri Ragothama Swamigalu at Tirukkoilur near Vizhupuram in Madras whenever possible and when I visit Madras. But I am yet to see a book on the subject.

 

 

 

You can read about Sri Ragothama Swamigalu from the attachment. Yes, there are books available at TKLR in English, Tamil, Kannada etc....

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Similarly are you aware of the availability Sthala Purana of Sodhe ( the place of Vadhiraja Swamigalu ) in English ? Recently in Dec 2002 I undertook a pilgrimage tour of about 8 places when I visited Sodhe and enquired about it. But unfortunately they have it in Kannada in which I am not proficient. If it is available in English, it will facilitate since my children can also read it.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards
