Dear Sri Matam SishyAs & AbhimAnis: 

The annual Acharya Thirunakshathram celebration weekend is under 
active planning for September 2  and 3 at Sri RanganAtha Temple , 
Pomona , NY .

Both Srimathy Vimala Rajaji(770-395-7142) and Sri Srikanth Raghavan
(301-208-1256) and a group of Sri Matam SishyAs are assembling 
the program for two days of joyous celebration for the participants and
their Families with special emphasis on children's active involvement .
SEvaaKaalam , Bhagavath AarAdhanam , DolOthsavam for KaNNan ,
Children's Program ,Quizzes, Cultural programs( Dance, Music ) and
delectable Bhagavath PrasAdhams will be most enjoyable  during these
event filled two days  .  Sri Ranganatha Temple will serve as a local host
during the two days of the Celebration .  

The Board of the Ahobila Mutt North America has to firm up
the numbers attending and make plans for the comfortable 
and enjoyable two days for the particpants and their families 
at this annual gathering and let the host organization know 
for their planning .

Please go to Ahobila Matam Web site and register your 
participation for all of us  to serve you well and make 
this annual gatheringa memorable one as in previous
years  :

                                           or

These are two days for all of us to come together and celebrate our  Parama
KaaruNika AchAryAs , whose Great UpakArAms can be never paid back.

Our noble AchAryAs have been saluted by NyAsa Soothrams as "Mukundha Tulya: "
(Equivalent to the Moksham granting Mukundhan  Himself ) .Without their 
blessings
of SamAsrayaNam and BaranyAsam  , we would have led meaningless lives ,
an animal edition of human existence . With their Knowlege of Bhagavath 
Saasthrams ,
Sookshma Buddhi , AchAram , anushtAnam , Sri Nrusimha dhivya PaadhukArAdhana
Balam,VairAgyam , inquiry of our welfare , we would be like ships on the sea 
without 
rudder or compass . Through their invaluable SadhupadEsams , they have created 
the Ruchi ( the  longing ) and the urge for performing SaraNAgathy before 
MalOlan 
at His silver Mantapam and ask us to recite SaraNAgathy Mantrams with them . 
After our Prapatthi , our AchAryan blesses with the anugraha bhAshaNam to open 
our eyes to the significance of the Aathma VivAham with Malolan . After 
Prapatthi , 
our AchAryan unfailingly inquire about our well being .Our AchAryan is joyous 
when we visit Him during His sanchArams and the affection with which He greets 
us 
makes us shed tears of gratitude for the Mahaa BhAgyam of our uRavu with Him , 
which is indissoluable as with the Lord whom He serves .

For Such a noble AchAryan and His illustrious Guru Paramparai leading all the 
way 
upto the  Parama  Purushan  , it is very appropriate to assemble together for 
atleast 
two days in an year at the Sannidhis of Lord RanganAtha , Sri Ranga Naayaki , 
Dolai
KaNNan , the 12 AzhwArs and the archA moorthys of Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar ,
Sri MukkUr Azhagiya Singar and Prakrutham Srimath Azhagiya Singar and prostrate 
before them and enjoy Sathsangam with BhAgavathAs and sishyAs of Sri Matam and
all AchArya Paramparais of Bhagavath RaamAnuja .

The occasion is for reflecting on Sruthi Vaakyams , AzhwAr Paasurams , Three 
Rahasyams,
AchArya UpadEsams and "charge our spiritual batteries " and feel refreshed to 
serve 
our AchAryan , Fellow BhagavathAs and the SaraNya Dampathis .The occasion is 
for 
the children and younger generation to learn more about our ancient traditions 
, while
they grow up in this country .

Let me conclude this appeal for Your full participation with two prayers from 
Mahaa NarAyaNOpanishad :

vidharthArafum havaanahE vasO: kuvidhvanAthina:
SavithAram nruchakshasam ----Manthram 73

(Meaning): " We invoke with prayers the Lord who is the creator of
this universe , who is the unique supporter of this universe and who
endows men with knowledge . May that Lord ever grant us (spiritual)
wealth . 

NaarAyaNa Param Brahma tatthvam NaarAyaNa: Para:
NaarAyaNa ParO JyOthirAthma  NaarAyaNa: Para:

" NaarAyaNa is the Supreme Brahman .NaarAyaNa is the Supreme
Reality .NaRAyaNa is the Supreme Light . NaarAyaNa is the Supreme
Self ".

NamO NaarAyaNAya ,
