News update from Srirangam Periyashramam

  Sreemathe RangaRamanuja mahadesikaya Namaha

His Holiness Sri RangaRamanuja Mahadesikan's 26th Chaturmasya Sankalpam has just been

 completed and H H has reached Thenbirai , near Mannargudifor Uththanam. Today Aavani 

Pooarattathi Vazhuthur Andavan and Therazhundur Andavan Tirunakshatrams were 

celebrated at Thenpirai. Thenbirai Andavan,Sri Ranganatha Mahadesikan's Tirunakshatram 

also comes off on Aavani Revathi, on 11th Sept. at his birth place itself.

During his stay in Periyashramam in Srirangam, H H found time in the early mornings to make 

a walk around Gho Saalai, located at the nearby Chinna Ashramam , to see by Himself the 

health and living conditions of nearly 75 cows with calves are protected there. From there H.H. 

proceeds to River Vada Tirukkaveri ( Kollidam ), for Snaanam. It is nice to see that this year 

there is flow of water in the river.

I am  attaching with this a few photographs taken on 6th and 7th September at Srirangam. You 

may please view and enjoy.

Srimath Andavan Ashramam Koil at Villivakkam, Chennai is popularly known as Sri Padmavathi Nayika Sametha Sri Srinivasa Perumal Koil . This is located in Tirumangalam Road and is very popular among the local residents.Notable feature in this Temple is that Sri Padmavathi Thaayaar vigraham is installed along with Sri Srinivasa perumal in the Garba Graham. You can enjoy serthi sevai pf Perumal with Thaayaar rightthrough the year. Every Sravanam Moolavar Sri Srinivasa Perumal enjoys Tirumanjanam along with Sri Padmavathi Thaayaar.

Srimath Andavan and a Trade Union Leader

   Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
I always bring out news about Andavan Ashramam and the events related to Ashramam.
But now, I would like to show a very interesting photograph taken by me. This is the photograph of a veteran Trade Union Leader, Sri N. Devarajan, sitting in his INTUC office, located in my Company, Brakes India Limited. Sri Devarajan is a well respected Trade unionist and holding very imporatant positions in INTUC both in the state and in the national level. He has earned a good name in this field from thousands of workers all over our Tamil Nadu.State.

 Why I bring out this piece of information is that he is an admirer of our Acharyan Sri RangaRamanuja Mahadesikan. He has met H.H. and got His blessings for his successful trade union career and it is actually happening. With our Acharyan's blessings, he is able keep thousands of families of workers to lead happy lives..

Right in his trade union office, he did not have any hesitation to display our Acharyan's picture, right above his seat, to make sure that he continue to get His blessings. That is the greatness of our Acharyan, as he guiding light of everyone in our humanity.
