SrI:
 
Dear Sri RanganAyaki SamEtha Sri Ranganatha BhakthAs :
 
The preparations are well underway for the BrahmOthsavam
celebrations . The Details of each day's program is available at:
 
http://www.Ranganatha.org
 
Please plan on attending this First BrahmOthsavam
at Sri Ranganatha Temple with family and friends
and recieve the Dhivya Dampathy's anugraham .
 
Please volunteer for the various Kaimkaryams and
provide support for the Vaidhika events of the individual
days from DhvajArOhaNam to DhvajAvarOhaNam .
 
Please come and enjoy the daily alankArams , PuRappAdus ,
Live Naadhadwara Kaccheris , cultural events , Anna dhAnams,
BhEri Taadanams et al during this BrahmOthsavam . 
 
This  temple observes PaancharAthra Aagamam
( Jayaakhya Samhithai) . The PaancharAthra Aagamic
texts have laid out specific details on how the BrahmOthsavam
should be conducted at the Temples of Sriman NaarAyaNa .
Sri Ranganatha Temple will follow very closely the Aagamic
guidelines with support from experts in PaancharAthra
Aagamams .
 
Even at famous temples in India , there are local variations
in the observance of BrahmOthsavams :
 
1) UthsavAnga Homams ( Homams at Yaaga SaalAs pertinent
to the BrahmOthsavam ) 
 
2) Times for conductance of this Uthsavam ( Months: Maasi
at Ahobilam , PurattAsi at Thirumala , Panguni and Purattasi
at Oppiliappan Sannidhi )
 
3) Length of the Uthsavam ( 18 days at MannArgudi
to standard 10 days concluding with avabrutha
SnAnam at Temple PushkaraNi or River )
 
4) Rakshaa Bhandhanam ( one at most dhivya dEsams to
Three at Kaanchipuram (athivAsa, Uthsavaartha and
Theerttha Yaathraa Rakshaa Bhnadanams) .
 
5) Dhvadasa AarAdhanam & PushpAnjali procedures
 
adiyEn will post a few articles on BrahmOthsavam
selected events . The subject is vast and hence adiyEn
has to limit myself .I will seek the help of some experts
in Srirangam/Mekote/Kaanchi to get expert opinion 
on these observances over time .
 
At SrI Matam , Vaduvur GhanapAdi and Senior Aaradhakar
is an authortiy in Paacha Rathra Aagamam . Hopefully , we can
be blessed with his inputs .He is already guiding the PradhAna
Archakar of the Temple , Sriman Venkat Kanumalla .
 
Mainly , we will study together specific Uthsava Observances
like :
 
(1) Garuda AdhivAsam , PraaNa Prathishtai , DhvajArOhaNam
(2) Bheri Poojaa , BhEri TaaDanam
(3) Nithya Homam
(4) Swasthi Vachanam
(5) VaasudEva PuNyAhavachanam
(6) DhvadasArAdhanam
(7) Nava Sandhi Bali
(8) DhvajA avarOhaNam , Avabrutha SnAnam
(9) SapthAvaraNam , PushpaYaagam
 
It may not be possibleto go into great details  before
the start of the Uthsavam on all of them . adiyEn will
seek AchArya/BhAgavatha anugraham in this Kaimkaryam .
 
The Best thing would be for you to attend the Uthsavam
and see for yourself and experience the different observances
at " the Yaaga Saala " and ceremonies . As the proverb goes
One picture is better than 1000 pages of written text . Similarly
seeing and experiencing is better than reading about them .
 
NamO SrI RanganAthAya ,
