SMS Chari's Lectures

[Guest guest]

Dear bhaktas: People in the North East should take this

up as a serious volunteer effort to promote the teachings

of Sri Sampradayam. Sri SMS Chari is an octogenarian

vedantic scholar who has had kAlakshEpam under eminent

SriVaishnava vidwans and AchAryas; his numerous books on

SriVaishnavam are an authentic source of knowledge for

readers from all ages and backgrounds. Truly they don't

make people like SMS Chari anymore - FYI in case anybody

forgot Sri SMS Chari is also a devout Sri Matham shishya.

AdiyEn has the good fortune of being related to him (he

is my late atthimbEr's first cousin).

 

Recently we noticed a great deal of activity related to

the first USA visit of Sri Velukkudi Krishnan; the results

were also very encouraging. It only shows that such things

are quite possible to accomplish with the right amount of

committment from few people in each city/location. Why

don't we try calling out for volunteers in different NE

cities in the USA - such as Sri Muralidhar and Sri Sunder

in Boston, Sri VijayRaghavan in Buffalo, Sri Rajaji and

Sri Nadadur Madhavan and Sri Sadananda in D.C. etc. Just

thinking aloud... if at all there is anywhere to begin

planning this it is in Malolan Net - what better place

than here, to consider such kainkaryam towards an EMINENT

scholar and Sri Matham shishya??
