May I be eternally associated with
the devotees of maNavAla mAmunigaL, who have crossed the lures of
material pleasures and pride, to whom the preceptor is the means and
the end, who have mastered the essence of all scriptures, who have no place for material profit and lust, who are well-wishers of all life and who have conquered anger and greed. Purport: The
srIvachanabhUshaṇa divyasAstram teaches several important srIvaishNava
tenets. It teaches the need for AthmaguNams - the need for restraint,
the importance of learning the esoteric essence of the scriptures from
the preceptor. It also teaches the need for detachment from worldly
pleasures and to have love for bhagavadh vishayam. It teaches us to
exhibit compassion and patience towards all, especially towards those
who harm us. It concludes its message with the teaching of anthimOpAyam
through "AchArya abhimAnamE uththArakam" where the means and end are both
identified with the preceptor. These and more, taught in cryptic form
by piLLai lOkAchArya, were lucidly explained by maNavALa
mAmunigaL. mAmunigaL himself says that it is rare to find
mahAthmAs who follow the word and spirit of srIvachanabhUshaNam. Through
the above stanza, we pray that we bear eternal association with the
lotus feet of such resplendent followers of mAmunigaL who are
adhikAris of srIvachanabhUshaNam.
| srIsailEsa dhayApAthram dhIbhakthyAdhi guNArNavam yathindhra pravaNam vandhE ramyajAmAtharam munim
I surrender unto srI maNavALa mAmunigaL who is the holder of the mercy of thiruvAimozhi piLLai, an ocean of jnAnam, bhakthi, etc., who has unlimited love for yathirAjar.

Schedule: Apr 22nd to May 1st
By the grace of emperumAn/AzhwArs/AchAryas, we are blessed to be involved in thiruppullANi brahmOthsavam kainkaryams. Last four years we have performed dhivya prabhandha sEvAkAlam and thadhIyArAdhana kainkaryam for both jagannAtha perumAL (panguni) and SrI rAma (chithrai) brahmOthsavams with overwhelming support from our group. The locals (SrIvaishNavas and others) were very pleased with our effort and were greatly appreciative of the same.
This year, we are planning to continue with the same kainkaryams with the support of all our members. chithrai uthsavam occurs from Apr 22nd to May 1st. We request all the sambandhis to consider this kainkaryam as an important one and plan for being present physically for as many days as possible for each individual. Like last year, we are making arrangements at SrI vAnamAmalai mutt for the comfortable stay for the ones who are visiting during the uthsavam. Please plan ahead and book the tickets as soon as possible.
After careful considerations and practical experience from last year, we have reduced the estimate for each uthsavam to be Rs 1.10 lakhs. Our bank a/c details are given below. Please do inform us after doing online transfers to our bank account. Cheques can be drawn in favour of “Sri VaraVaraMuni Sambandhi Trust” and sent to our address (indicated above). NEFT/RTGS Details: Current A/C No: 00047620000053, IFSC Code: HDFC0000004, HDFC Bank, ITC Centre, Anna Salai, Chennai.
We thank all srIvaishNavas for the continuous support and engagement in kainkaryam.

2018 - emperumAnAr uthsavam - thalaichchanganANmadhiyam
SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
Schedule: April 12th to 21st
By
the grace of emperumAn/AzhwArs/AchAryas, we (our trust/group) are
blessed to be involved in thalaichchanganANmadhiyam dhivya dhESa
kainkaryams.
On
account of emperumAnAr, SrI rAmAnuja's 1001st year thirunakshathram
celebrations, it has been decided by the SrIvaishNavas of this dhivya
dhESam, that 10 days uthsavam with 4000 dhivya prabandha sEvAkAlam will
be celebrated in this dhivya dhESam with the help of our SrI varavaramuni sambandhi trust. Every day, during the 10 days of uthsavam, dhivya
prabandham will be recited in sequence to complete 4000 pAsurams in
time for the sARRumuRai day. Every day, different amudhupadi (bhOgam/naivEdhyam) will be offered to emperumAn befitting the occasion.
Preliminary estimate of expenses towards archaka, adhyApaka, parichAraka, madappaLLi bahumAnam, provisions and other items is approximately Rs 130000. Hence we appeal earnestly to the sambandhis for their liberal contribution to make it a grand function as there is no other occasion when perumAL, pirAtti, AzhwArs, AchAryas do listen to arulichcheyal with such grand gOshti and receive such grand bhOgam at this remote dhivya dhESam.
We request SrIvaishNavas to take this opportunity to plan and attend this dhivya dhESam during this time of celebrations.
SrI K E B Rangarajan swamy will be co-ordinating the uthsavam on behalf of us. Those who are willing to participate in this kainkaryam (physically, financially) are requested to contact him at +91-9841056697 .
