Sree lakshmi hayagreeva parabrahmaNE namaH

Dear bhaktas:  adiyEn would like to draw your kind attention
to the upcoming celebration of prakritam (36th) Parakalam
swami's 67th. thirunakshatram.  The parakala matham as we
all know, is a renowned ancient institution directly connected
with Swami Desikan through brahmatantra swatantrar, and also
to bhagavad Ramanujar - through its inheritance of the lakshmi
hayagreevar vigraham that udayavar received at the Sri. Sarada
peetham in Kashmir [See: http://www.parakalamutt.org/ ]

During the 10-day period from 19th. through 28th. April 2001,
the Mysore matham plans to commemorate the thirunakshatram
of present Jeer as well as the previous (35th.) Jeer, both of
which occur within days of one another, and right before Sri.
Ramanujar jayanthi.  Here is a brief description of the program
