SRI
NJ Ashramam Inauguration
Sreemathe RangaRamanuja MahaDesikaya Namaha:
With the blessings of HH Andavan's, Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc. has
successfully inaugurated the Priest Quarters at our NJ Ashramam Premises
on 4/14/2013. The inauguration was conducted with all Sanchara Archa
Moorthys and Poorvacharya Padhukas Some Key Highlights from the Grahaprevasa
event:
1.
HH Andavan gave a brief “Anugraha Bhashanam” over phone to all who were
assembled at the NJ Ashramam premises during the event. It was
mesmerizing to listen to HH’s Mangala Sasanam on the occasion of the
inauguration.
2.
We followed all the procedures as outlined by HH in conducting the Grahaprevasa
event – starting with Punyahavachanam at 6:30 AM and Perumal Pravesam at 7 AM
to the house; followed by both Vasthu and Sudharshana Homams. Subsequently,
Thirumanjanam to all Archa Moorthys and
Paduka Aaradhanam were performed. The morning event was concluded with
“Periya Sathumurai” and Aacharya Sambhavanai Kramam.
3.
During the day, we had about 80 to 90 Bhagavathas attend the event including
nearly 30+ Bhagavathas in the Ghoshti. The Veda and Prabhanda parayanam
reverberated at our new Home.
4.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of local volunteers
who spent the most part of Saturday preparing the home for the event and key
SRI Board Members from NJ, for assisting and completing the re-modeling of the
home in time for inauguration. We also appreciate the efforts of several
Ashrama sishyas towards purchasing all the required items and preparing food
for the Bhagavathas. We have a sufficiently furnished office room, fully
functioning security system for the home, internet and phone service (Ashramam
Priest Quarters Phone Number: 732-649-3666) and a completely upgraded kitchen
with all new appliances. We also have a small Thirumadappali for preparing
prasadam for Perumal.and Yaga Sala for special occasions.Next Key Steps:
1.
Our application to the township has been reviewed by the officials and the review
looks favorable to our request to convert this property to an Ashramam/temple .
The first hearing on our application will be held on May16, 2013.
2.
All Archa Moorhy and other items procured for our Balalayam are in transit from
Chennai and are expected to arrive sometime mid to late May.
3.
We are requesting all our Sishyas and Abhimanis to actively participate to help
us raise funds for construction of Balalayam.
