Dear BhakthAs:

 

It gives me great pleasure to share with you our firm plans for

SampradhAyic Veda ParAyana and Dhivya Prabhandha PaarAyNa ghOshtis

at SrI RanganAtha Temple during the occasion of the Second

anniversary Celebrations of the SamprOkshaNam for the Temple.

 

As many of You know , these PaarAyaNams are an essential part of

major celebrations at consecrated Temples and it is delightful

that SrI RanganAtha Temple has blessed us to maintain this tradition

and is pleased to hear dearly What He dearly wishes to hear .

 

On behalf of the Religious Committee of SrI RanganAtha Temple, it is

adiyEn's pleasure to invite you all to come and join one or both of

these groups led by PoorNa AdhikAris in Vedam & Dhivya prabhandhjams.

will lead the groups for KaaNDa PaarAyaNam of Vedam ;KodiyAlam Naithruva

MaaDabhUshi VaradarAja Bhattar , who is PoorNaadhikAri in BOTH

Yajur vedam and NaalAyira Dhivya prabhandham ( Four Thousand Sacred

Collect) will head the Dhivya prabhandham group.

 

SrIman U.Ve.RaajagOpaala Bhattar has performed grantha chathushtaya

KaalakshEpam under HH Vaikunta Vaasi SrImad Mukkur Azhagiya Singar

SrI RanganAtha temple is the one and only temple in North

America to the best of my knowledge , which has these elaborate

traditional offerings of the Sanskrit and Tamil vedams as

a part of the major Uthsavams for the PerumAL.

 

The presence of these two PoorNAdhikAris at the temple this year

makes it a very special event following the traditions at major

Temples in India like SrIrangam, KaanchIpuram et al.

 

Please take the time off and join these ghOshtis and enjoy

the Memorial Day weekend and have the auspiciousness of

hearing the Veda manthrams and AzhwAr's Divine Sookthis

chanted in the traditional manner.
