Response to My Urgent Request

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

I was in such a confused state yesterday with 2 priorities in my mind. 1. Is to do the seemantham in traditional way 2. Is to do it @ home. With all my efforts of trying to bring one here lost, I mailed the forums as a last resort. But the response was actually OVERWHELMING. I did receive lot of emails personally, phone calls and suggestions. Thanx to all. After doing some back and forth calling, I managed to fix Shri. Saranathan today. I had booked the tickets for him to come on 19th and leave on the 20th. After doing some research I got a flight for 380$ . I also tried Shri. Raman from Phoneix, But the flights are way too costly.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for sending emails/Voicemails. I did not expect to receive this kind of respone. This list is great. This has lot of learned people, scholars, Vedic experts from all walks of life. A person who wants to learn about vedas/sustras can find it here.

 

I hope with Perumal Anugraham and with all your blessings the function should go on smooth and neat.

 

Thanx everyone

Respected Ramanuja Bhaktas,

 

I am so happy to see the kind note that we have just received from

Sri Srikanth, and would like to express my thanks to all of you who

immediately responded to his request for information regarding

priests.

 

The goals of the International Ramanuja Society are intended to

ensure that Bhagavad Sri Ramanuja Darshanam is open and accessible to

everyone. Sri Ramanuja's Vision is much more than his profound

philosophical and humanitarian teachings. It is also the expression

of these very ideas in the rich cultural and religious traditions of

our SriVaishnava heritage.

 

One such tradition is the seemantham, a Vedic " baby shower " , if you

will, in which the mother-to-be is presented with fine clothes,

gifts, and traditional foods, to the accompaniment of beautiful

chants that offer prayers and blessings for her welfare and the

welfare of the baby.

 

On behalf of all of the members and supporters of the Society, I

would like to wish Sri Srikanth and his wife congratulations and best

wishes on this blessed occasion.
