Swami Nammalwar (India) Foundation (Chennai) conducted an unique summer camp for school children. The camp was organised by Sri.Uba.Ve. K.E.B. Rengarajan Swami on behalf of the foundation. 9 boys and 5 girls attended the week long camp at Thirunindravur Divya Desam. Thirupathi Periya Jeer madam,Thirunindravur was the residential venue. Sri.Uba.Ve.Nagai Veeraraghavachariar swami stayed with the childern all the 8 days (from 6-12 may 2001) and conducted sessions on nithyaanusandhanam, Emperumanin Avatharangal, Alwar Acharya Vaibhavam. Sri Uba. Ve. Sheadri swami taught the children songs on acharyaas and Emperuman. Sri. Uba. Ve. Sthalasayanam Swami and Sri. Uba. Ve. K.B. Devarajan Swami visited the camp and blessed the children with their upanyasams.

The children enjoyedthe camp very much and they proved to be potential baagavathothamas. Sri.Uba.Ve.Nagai Veeraraghavachariar swami remarked that given the proper environment each of our children could raise to the level of Bhattar, Desikar and others.

Adiyen had the bagyam of being a volunteer in the camp, I only felt that the kids knew more about the sampradayam and they had the right attitude and inclination(coupled with tolerence) which gives an enthusiasm of a bright future for this the "Bagavath Ramanuja Darsanam"
