We have been blessed to hear/speak Sri Raamas(Thayaar and Sahas included) name for many thousands of years in the past(and no more to come since we will not have a rebirth  after hearing his name and associating ourself with an Acharya).   To continue the tradition of  celebrating his TN, not only at our homes, but with a larger Sri Vaishnava Community, we have amidst us Smt.Mysore Nagamani Srinath and her talented accompaniments, performing Songs in Sri Ramanuja Pantha.
