Dear BhakthAs : It is a great joy for me to forward this communique conveying the happy news about the Sri RanganAthA Temple of Pomona , NY receiving the Certificate of Occupancy from the local authorities as of February 14, 2001. After the dedicated work of many , many devotees and struggles against many odds , the Certificate of Occupancy has been received and the temple can officially conduct the many functions to celebrate the Dhivya Dampathis, AzhwArs and AchAryAs . Please visit the temple and enjoy the dhivya soundharyam of the ArchA moorthis and participate in all the functions to celebrate our illustrious Bhagavath RaamAnuja SampradhAyam. Every one is welcome. I conclude this invitation to particpate in the nithya and VisEsha uthsavams for the Lord of Srirangam at His temple in New York with a prayer to His Paadhukais: SruthInAm bhUshaNAnAm thE SankE RANGENDHRA PAADHUKE MiTa: sangarsha sanjAtham raja: kimapi sinjitham --Naadha Paddhathi slOkam of Sri PaadhukA sahasram: slOkam 1 (meaning): Oh Sri RanganAtha PaadhukE ! Inside Your toe-hold, there are different gems. As Your Lord adorns You during His sanchAram and moves about , those gems make a SunAdham . Those MangaLa Naadham reminds one of the jostling of the Vedams that are Your AabharaNams. The inner meaning is that the ThiruvAimozhi composed by Swamy NammAzhwAr ( SatAri Soori) with the anugraham of the Lord of Srirangam is the essence of Sakala VedArthams. As Lord RanganAthA has His sanchaaram at the Pomona Temple, may the admixture of the sacred sounds of Vedam and Dhivya prabhandham there remind us of the SunAdhams emanating from the Lord's Padhukais (Guru paramparA starting from the dhivya Dampathis onwards through Swamy NammAzhwAr to prakrutham AchAryAs).
