TOMORROW IS SRIMATH ANDAVAN THIRUNAKSHATRAM. DETAILS OF ALL LOCATIONS OF
THE CELEBRATION GIVEN BELOW IN A CHART. (Correction on the Venue is to
be noted for Ames, IA) PLEASE ATTEND IN THE LOCATION NEAREST YOU AND GET
THE BLESSINGS OF THE ACHARYA.

AchAryAs are JnAnis who are dearer to God. Praising AchAryA?s glory.
Retaining AchAryA?s teachings in mind and spreading AchAryA?s greatness
etc., are only very very small when compared to what an AchAryA has done
to the sishyas. It is our purva janma punyam that we have our AchAryAs
to guide us in the righteous path and spread the fragrance of
Arulicheyal and Divya sukthi of Alwars and PurvAcharyas and the
philosophy of VishistAdvaitA, traveling far and wide throughout the
country. For all the upahAram that an acharyan does by sacrificing all
the pleasures of life in the service of uplifting our souls to do nithya
kainkaryam to perumal and giving various upanyasams and kalakshebhams
even in the midst of tiring sancharams and constantly taking up many
arduous projects for performing bhagavath kainkaryam....all we can do is
to sing His praise and offer our Acharya sambhavanai regularyly
particularly during His thirunaksatram.

The spiritual wealth of our sacred land lies in the spread of pure
renunciation. Our great AchAryAs have preserved the traditions unbroken
through the ages and aglow with ever fresh revelance to changing
circumstances of contemporary times.

As SwAmi VEdAnta DEsika says in SlokA 2 of NyAsa Vimsati,

AgNyana DwAntha RoDhAth aga pariharanAdh Atma sAmyAvahatvAth
Janma pradhvamsi janma pratha garimathaya divya drushti prabhAvAth
NishprathyuhA nrusamsyAth niyatharasathayA nithya sEshitva yOgAth
AchAryA: sadbhira prathyupakaranadhiyA dEvavath sYAdhupAsya:

The slokA says that

" The spiritual preceptor should be worshipped like God by the virtuous
with a service of never being able to re-pay him."

SwAmi DEsikA repeats in slokA 38 of AdikAra sangraham,

YEtri manathEzhin gNana villakkai irul aNaitthum
MAtrinavarku oru kaimAru mAyanum kAnagillAn..
pOtri Ugappadhum Pundhiyil Kolvadhum Pongu Pugazh
Saatri valarpadhum sarrallavO munnam petradharkE

The slokA says that

" For that AchAryA who has driven away the darkness of ignorance and
ignited the light of knowledge in mind, even Sriman nArAyanA could not
give a  suitable compensation. The only little things we can do for all
help we received are : Sing His praise, remember His deeds in mind and
spread His greatness."

As a pontiff of Srimad Andavan Periaashramam, His Holiness Sri Ranga
RAmAnuja MahADEsikan has uplifted many a soul to the holy feet of Lord
nArAyanA through SamAsrayanam and Prapatti to bring deliverance to
thousands of disciples from ever revolving samsAra. His Holiness Srimad
Andavan,s 70th Thirunakshatram is going to be celebrated all over the
United States on 22nd May,2004.

As periAzhwAr says pallAndu pallAndu to perumAL, let us pray to the
Divya Dhampathis for blessing our AchAryA, His Holiness Srimath
Srimushnam Andavan  Sri Ranga rAmAnuja mahA dEsikan for Longevity with
Good health to guide us all in the years to come
