• May 8, 2000
Dear BhakthAs: Yesterday, we celebrated at Sri Ranganatha temple the Mahothsavam of our grest AchAryan's 984th birthday. SampradhAyic Dhivya Prabhandham recitations were complimented by recitaions of Sri YathirAja sathathi , Sri RaamAnuja NooRRandhAthi . A traditonal SaaRRumurai was a fititng finale for this Uthsavam . The RangaghOshti members came together with other BhakthAs to recite dhivya prabhandham . adiyEn is delighted to hear that they will come together once a month to recite dhivya Prabhandham dear to Sri RanganAyaki SamEtha Sri Ranganaathan at His Sannidhi. AdiyEn requests every one interested in reciting and/or learning to come together on the monthly ghOshti days , recite the dear AzhwAr's dhivya prabhandhams as bhakthAs of our Lord of limitless compassion and receive the dhivya dampathis' blessings. During the discussions after the celebrations , many expressed interest to learn the recitations of the Dhivya prabhandhams of AzhwArs in the traditonal manner of santhai. adiyEn is interested to help with this project . The plans are to approach these clases two ways: (1) an hour or two at Sri RanganAthA sannidhi at Pomona , NY on Ranga GhOshti days every month. An excellent teacher trained in the traditional manner has kindly volunteered to pass on this rich tradition to us (2) A weekly sessions for an hour or thereabout to teach using the power of Internet tools and technologies to rach BhakthAs all over the country. It has been suggested weekday evenings are better than weekend time slots for this instruction in an asynchronous manner . A small committee of BhakthAs including adiyEn, Srimathi Sheela Belur and Sri Gopalan ( Oppili Swamy) of metroploitan Washington D.C area will work out the details if there is sufficent interest for these classes. Please let me know of your interests .Here is a golden opportunity to learn the recitation of these treasures of Tamizh Marai (Vedams) from your own homes .It is a wonderful opportunity for members at all levels of ages to learn and help build Sri VaishNava communities that are familiar with these sacred collect of Four Thousand . After getting your feedbacks , we can work on the details of delivery over the Internet using chat rooms and teleconferencing .We have to find an inexpensive way to get connected.adiyEn invites comments from internet tools experts to suggest ways. May all sampradhAyams rooted in AchArya RaamAnuja darsanam come together and raise their unified voice and celebrate the dhivya Prabhandhams and Vedam at the sacred feet of Ubhaya VedAntha VibhUthi-nAthan , Sri RanganAthan . After all He is "NamperumAL" and is our eternal Kula Dhanam. May the VaishNava Sri grow and attain new heights of auspiciousness in this 984th year of the avathAram of AchArya RaamAnujA . It is in this spirit , it is my pleasre to announce the completion of "Aarthi Prabhnadham " commentary in the Home pages created for Sri MaNavALa MaamunigaL, one of the greatest BhakthAs of AchArya RaamAnujA , who was given the name of YathIdhra PravaNar by His AchAryAn . The moving plea by Sri MaNavALa MaamunigaL to AchArya RaamAnujA echoing the sentiments of AzhwArs, AmudanAr and Sri VedAntha Desikan in Aarthi prabhandham are covered well by the contributing author, Kaanchipuram U.Ve. Sri ThirumalaiaandAn SriinivasaachAr Swamy with the capable assistance of his son , Professor T.A.Vijayaraghavan and hi wife, Srimathi Sudha Vijyaraghavan.
