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.
