Jayathu RanganAyaki ! Jayathu Sri RanganAtha : !

From the Bhakti List Archives

• April 14, 1998


Dear Sri RanganAtha Premis :

Today is the first day of BahudhAnya Samvathsaram .
I wish to take this opportunity to wish every one of you
and your family a HAPPY , HEALTHY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR .
MAY THE BLESSINGS OF THE DIVYA DAMPATHIS OF SRIRANGAM
BE WITH YOU ALWAYS AND SHOWER ON YOU BAHU (MANY ) DHANAMS
AND DHANYAMS AND GROW YOUR KAIMKARYA SRI !

Three young members of our Bhakthi list are going to enter
GrahasthAsramam in the next sixty days and I thought it is
appropriate to reflect on the great KALYAANA MAHOTHSAVAM OF
ANDAL AND SRIRANGANAATHA  in this posting in anticipation
of their blessed state of matrimony that they are going to enter .

I will do the sankalpam first for the BhagavAn's
Vivaaha MahOthsavam .
