Appeal for Articles on Sri Ramanuja Sampradaya

April 20, 2010

Dear Bagavattas,

We are a small but beautiful Temple dedicated to Exclusively Sri VenkateswaraÂ in the state of North Carolina.Â We have recently acquired funds for printing fullÂ

color freeÂ souvenirÂ for the Prathama Brahmothsavam that isÂ about toÂ happen inÂ month of June.Â

Temple Website :Â svtemplenc.org

Brahamothsavam Schedule from June 10-15 2010 (invite below)

We are little behind (short of time), hence are in intenseÂ pressureÂ to have

qualityÂ articles in less than 2 weeks.Â Hence, I humbly appeal to the great forum of Vaishnava thinkers and writersÂ

in this greatÂ forum, we have many doyens who have written wonderful e-mail posts.

I request theseÂ magnanimous and creative authors to release their informative

e-mails andÂ articles from the past to be published in the free souvenir to beÂ

distributed byÂ S V Temple of North Carolina.Â

And request the owner of this wonderful forumÂ to help us in this regard andÂ

allow the reuse. Any devotee can help usÂ with identifying articles/contentsÂ posted which may be suitable or evenÂ condense prior articles to suit theÂ

undersaid purposes.

Criteria for articles are very basic:

1. Articles spanning one or two pages will be most preferable, but longerÂ

articles canÂ also beÂ accommodated.Â

2. It should bring out the glory of the Lord Sriman Narayana. References to

His manifestation asÂ Sri Venkateswara will be an added bonus.

3. It should be in conformance to the traditions of the alwars and theacharyas of the Sri Sampradaya. We follow the Thenacharaya

sampradaya in the Temple and have Sri Namazhwar and Sri RamanujaUtsava Vigrahas.

4. Article related to Tirumala and the Brahmothsavam celebrations would

be part of the souvenir.

5. We have only officially end of this week and I am hope it couldbe further delayed max by a week for submitting such articles.

We have the Brahamothsavam from June 10-15 2010 (invite below)
