SRI :
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.
Naryana Narayana Narayana.
 
Dear Bhagavathas,
 
Our Pranams to all those who think of the sufferings of others.
 
Blessed are those who are bestowed with hearts which think of the sufferings of 
fellow beings. The act of offering food to others as per the program is very 
welcome.May our Lord make more and more hearts reach to the needs of the 
unfortunate people.
 
We, with folded hands, make the following request and appeal to all the 
Bhagavathas.   

Let us make it a point to feed atleast some of the people around us or in our 
area who are in difficulty, either as individuals or as a group , regularly by 
rotation or by joint contribution . This will go a long way in mitigating the 
suffering of very many people which in essence is a great service to our Lord. 
Such simple efforts on our part will give us great mental satisfaction and 
promote harmony in the society. We pray Our Lord to make us serve His children 
to the best of our capacity.
 
Regards.

    THADHEEYARADHANAM  ( PARANAI ) KAINGARYAM AT  SRIRANGAM 
                                                      (EIGHTH YEAR ) 

ON KAISIKA EKADHASI - DHWADHASI , VAIKUNDA EKADHASI ? DHWADHASI 
                                                  AND PANGUNI UTHIRAM 


In the Thirupavai, Sri Aandal refers to Annadhanam as generating Dharma (sorey 
Arancheyyum).  Annadhanam on ?Offering of Food is the Exclusive Privilege of  
Ladies. 
The Sastras declare that Ladies only can offer Food to Yadhigal and 
Bhaghavadhargal. They can only offer Rice Bhiksha to Young Boys on the Day of 
their Upanayanam (Sacred Thread Ceremony)  Further entertaining guests is also 
prerogative of Ladies.  Thus Annadhanam is not a Privilege but a sacred duty 
cast on Ladies.  Epics Record the fact that Sita Devi, Draupadi and 
Rishipathnis strictly followed this practice in the lines and entertained 
several holy guests. 

While offering food and entertaining guests anywhere and anytime would 
definitely yield merit Punyam to the Ladies, doing so at SRIRANGAM, 
particularly to the Vedic Scholars, Bhagavathas and Koil Archakas (Srirangam) 
that too in Scared KAISIKA DHWADHASI Day will bring in untold merit to the 
Donors.  The Merit so accrued will satisfy the hunger and thirsts 
to anyone suffering in Narakas.  That is why it is said that, No other 
donations such as offering clothes, money, education etc., can equal to 
Annadhanam.  For this reason only Sri Paduka Sahasra  Parayana Ladies offering 
food to vedic scholars, bhagavathas and koil archakas for the 8th year in 
succession  at SRI AHOBHILA MUTT PREMISES, EAST CHITRA STREET SRIRANGAM ON 
KAISIKA DHWADHASI. 

DECEMBER 4th and 5th of  2003        :    KAISIKA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI 

JANUARY    3rd and 4th of 2004        :    VAIKUNDA EKADHASI AND DHWADHASI 

APRIL 4th of  2004                              :      PANGUNI  UTHIRAM 

May kindly keep these dates in mind and associate themselves in this noble 
task.  By doing so, they will only be following the advice of Sri Aandal in 
Thiruppavai ?Ambaramey, thanneerey, sore Aranchcheyyum?
