Dear bhagavathOthamas,

 

This is a very special day. Today is the 70th thirunatshatram of our revered

acharya, HH Sri paramahamsEtyAthi Vanamamalai kaliyan rAmAnuja Jeeyer swamy

(prakrutham peedhAdhipathi of Vanamamalai mutt, 30th pattam). Swamy's greatness

cannot be explained by words. We, in US by the parama krupai of parthasarathi

emperuman and goda piratti have been immersing ourselves in the divine nectar of

swamy's upanyasams over the tele-bridge for the past few months. Each week we

spent expecting the sunday " mumukshupadi " kalashepam time to enjoy hearing the

divine rahasya arthas from the mouths of our acharya which was our great

bhakhyam (couldnt have obtained the same even if we were in India).

 

In Ramayana, both perumal and piratti feel that they have been indebted to

anjaneya and could never do anything equal to the help he has done. In our

sampradayam, each and every acharya is supposed to be in the position of

thiruvadi. When perumal and piratti cannot do anything for the favour the

acharya has done to them what can we jeevatmas do? Still it is our prime duty

to atleast celebrate the thirunatshatram of our acharya whereever we are,

reciting his thaniyans, following his words and meditating on the kalyana gunas

of the acharya and ofcourse the divine arthas taught by him to us, to lead us in

the right path (dvayam).

 

On this occasion we would like to let all shisyas of vanamamalai mutt and other

Aptha bandhus know that we, as volunteers of vedics would be meeting swamy in

the first week of december to submit the sambhAvanai for mumukshupadi kalashepam

and also the amount given by various bhagavatas here for the ennakAppu utsavam

in vanamamalai divya kshetram. Any of you, who are interested to join this

divine cause can mail us at varadarajan_tcs. People in India can also

join. We will be in India from dec 1.

Let us recite this vAzhi thirunAmam of swamy and sincerely pray to the divine

couples to give their mangalasasanams to swamy to shower many many more divine

arthas on we baddha jeevatmas and lead us in the sattivaka path.
