A celebration for the Three teachers

[Guest guest]

Respected Ramanuja Bhaktas,

 

Members of our Society in Chicago and Denver are proposing to host a

weekend gathering here in Denver in honor of Sri Ramanuja and his two

foremost disciples, Swamy Vedanta Desikan and Swamy Manavalamamunigal.

This will mark the only occasion this year where all three teachers will

be honored at the same time, in one place, so it seemed only fitting for

the International Ramanuja Society to to sponsor this event, in

cooperation with Vedics, our sister organization in Chicago. If

finalized, the celebration will take place at Sri RadhaGovinda Temple in

Denver.

 

Here is the proposed agenda:

 

Saturday, October 27

 

8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

 

thiruvAradhanai (Sri Lakshmi Narayana Pooja)

including verses of the first three AzhwArs in honor of their holy

appearance days

Dear Sri Mohan Sagar:

 

It is an excellent idea that you are proposing .

Two to three years ago , I created a Web page on

Sri ManavALa Maamuni and populated those pages on

this great AchAryan's life and Sri Sookthis ,

since none existed until then.

 

I will plan on completing some of that unfinished work

(Thirivaimozhi NooRRandhAthi )as my contribution for

the planned celebration at Denver in 2001.

 

The current home pages were created by Haresh Balasubramanyan

of Singapore and myself and articles there are from Sri Kaanchi

T.A.Srinivasan Swamy (Aarthi Prabhandham ) ,Sri Velukkudi

Krsihnan Swamy ( Taniyan for Sri Maamuni) , Anugraha BhAshaNam

by HH Sri VaanamAmalai Kaliyan Jeeyar and myself ( Upadesa rathana Maalai,

Devaraja Mangalam , YathirAja Vimsathi and Introduction to

the Life of Sri Maamuni ).

 

The URL for those home pages is:

Thanks for taking the initative to plan this

meeting at Denver this year.
