SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

Dear Srivaishnavas,

My pranamams to all. My name is Rajesh Ganesan Pillai
from chennai. I studied Computer science in Trichy and
have always been attracted by the Lord of Srirangam. I
started my spiritual education with ISKCON (which I
was pulled into, during one of my visits to Srirangam
temple, where there was an ISKCON stall). I came to
Singapore for an assignment and happened to meet one
of the Srivaishnavites here who took me to Sri MS Hari
Swamin. 

After listening to his lectures, all my doubts have
been cleared like the morning snow disappearing when
the sun rises; and He blessed me with SriViashnavam
Books and Divya prabandam and Desika prabandams
Cassettes. I have realized that Sri Ramanuja
Sampradayam (Srivaishnavam) is the only unparalleled
and unambiguous philosophy and the Lord has made all
these moves for me so mercifully. I have also been
having 30 min interactions daily during lunch time
with Sri Madhavakkannan (who works just in front of my
office:-) (Again, the Lord's leelA) and get all my
queries answered then and there. He has also blessed
me with Sri SMS Chari's book on Vaishnavism and a CD
in mp3 on Swamy Desikan's Yathiraja Sapthathi
Upanyasam by Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan Swamy.  

On this greatest day of Sri Ramanuja's
Thirunakshathram, I wanted to send this introduction
and the way the Lord has shown me the way, so that
Bhaagawathas (irrespective of their past and births)
all over the world can join this best sampradayam
which is within their reach. When we arrive at the
cross roads of convictions we are at a loss to know
which path to pursue with. Several paths, recommended
by many, lay ahead. Some Vedic; Some non-vedic; some
pseudo-vedic. We decide to take the path followed by
our elders traditionally- i.e. Ramanuja Sampradayam,
which is in accordance with Vedas, in its full sense. 


I wish to announce that I have requested Sri
Madhavakkannan and Sri Hari for arranging my Pancha
samskaram and BharaNyAsam through one of the
Srivaishnava AchAryas, for which they have already
started acting.

Ramanujar Thiruvadigale Saranam
