SrI:

Dear BhakthAs:

It is my pleasure to let you know that 
SrI RanganAthA Temple will be initiating 
the Veda and Dhivya prabhandham classes 
at the temple starting from 1-24-2003.


0n 1-24-2003, Anadhyanam ( not doing Prabandha
Parayanam) will be over.

The second day after New-moon day, 2-3-2003 will be a good day; as per our
priests; to start Vedam and Prabandham classes.

Our priests, Sri Varadan and Sri Rajagopal will be  conducting
the classes at our Temple.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 7 to 8 PM : Vedam ( Daily Sandhyavandanam 
performance is a prerequisite for attendance ).

Tuesday and Thursday: 7 to 8 PM : Divya Prabandham.( No Prerequisites).

We have not  yet decided on the Telebridge classes .
We will come back on that possibility later.

Meanwhile , those with in the driving distance of
the temple are requested to particpate and make use of
this outstanding opportunity.

Back at SrIrangam , there is a PaarAyaNa Samithi
exclusively for Achidram , AswamEdham and Kaatakam 
on EkAdasi and DwAdasi days as recommeded by our
AchAryAs. This tradition of chanting these Vedic Texts
by the Samithi is an ancient one .

Achidram means faultless or blemishless and this portion of
the VedAs has very important manthrAs relating to Soma Yaaga 
and PrAyascchittha manthrAs for the atonement of sins through 
the mere chanting of this Vedic text .

AswamEdham is connected with an ancient Yaj~nam performed
for the well being of the world and for unity amongst people.
Lord Ramachandra and Chathur Mukha Brahma (at Kaanchi) have
performed this Yaj~nam with the help of the  AswamEdha 
Vedha manthrams . The subhiksham of the people at large
is sought as a goal. The recitation of these manthrAs is
considered as  having the same  effect as the performance of
the long and complex Yaj~nam.

Kaatakam houses prayers , which are addressed to 
SrIman NaarAyaNan for acheving the twin goals of 
the general welfare of thepeople and the expiation of one's
accumulated sins.

We hope to have the recitation of these three Vedic 
Texts in the future at the SrI RanganAthA Temple
at Pomonoa , NY following the tradition of
SrIrangam Temple .

At SrIrangam , 45 Vedic Pundits take part in these recitations 
sponsored by the Achidhra ,AswamEdha , Kaataka PaarAyana 
Samithi located at 134 N. Chithrai Veedhi , Srirangam ,
Trichy 620 006 .The phone number of the samithi is  
433 941. Due to paucity of funds to honor the Vedic 
Pundits properly , the Samithi  is only doing the parAyaNam 
once a month instead of twice ( 26 Ekadasi and DwAdasi days
of the 12 Months ). Please check with the Samithi office
and attend these wonderful PaarAyaNams , if you happen to
be at SrIrangam on those days. You can hear them also
at the Ahobila matam regularly on the Ekadadi and Dwadasi
days). I just recieved an audio CD ROM of these three
recitations today from Bangalore and these Vedic chantings
have a mesmerizing effect on the mind.

Please ocme to Lord RanganAthA temple at Pomona 
for starting your VedAdhyanam and Prabhandha adhyayanam
starting from Feb 3 , 2003.

Vice Chairman , SrI RanganAtha Temple , Pomona , NY
