A shortage of about $700,000.00 to comfortably start raising the structure remains to be our challenge. The $700,000 is in addition to the loan amount the bank will finance. The increase in cost of materials, fluctuating economic factors affecting our donors, the on-going cost of operations including supporting existing Poojas, Utsavas, Staff, repairs, among other factors have kept us with the reality of being very close, but not fully in concrete-pouring mode. Sachi Construction Company is famous for exquisite temple construction and has built the Akshardham and all the magnificent Swaminaryan temples in the USA. They have started mobilization of the site by setting up the construction trailer and construction sign boards. They have been gathering bids from the sub-contractors and contracts will awarded the contracts and commence the construction work. The project plan and projections to start and completion will be announced shortly. The Garbhalaya stone work is in progress and a shipment is planned to be sent in spring of 2014. The deity work will also commence in spring of 2014. 4 SRI LAKSHMI HAYAGRIVA STOTRAM SERIES Hayagrieva Stotram - Slokas 11 & 12 Sriman Nigamantha Desika composed 33 slokas describing the greatness of Hayagriva. The Lord Himself made him compose the hymn where each sloka incorporates some Bi:ja aksharas. Cosmic administration is said to be in 33 divisions. Likewise the great ashtakshari dwayi mantras have a total of 33 syllables. Sri Desika has composed and favoured us with this hymn in such a manner that each sloka has within it the divine power of the aksharas. Great souls have been witness to this. For this reason, great acharyas of the past as well as learned scholars of the present times hold this hymn in high esteem as the bestower of great power of speech and knowledge with understanding. We have covered Sloka 1 – 10 in previous newsletters. In January 2014 newsletter we will cover sloka 11 and 12. SLOKAM ELEVEN “yanmu:lam i:drukprathibha:thi thathwam ; ya:mu:lam a:mna:ya maha:druma:na:m thaththwe:na ja:nanthi visuddha saththwa:ha; thwa:m akshara:m aksharama:thruka:mthe:” Hayagriva Swami is the form of ‘a’, the first letter of the alphabet, which is the mother of ‘O:m’. Great sages have said that all kinds of matter in this uni- verse have their origin in ‘O:mka:ra’. The universe consists of two types: the sentient and the insentient. Out of their combination only, all the four catego- ries – deities, humans, animals and immobile things come. These are called the effects. All these worldly phenomena which are these objects have arisen from God who is the form of O:m. They also dissolve in Him.

  • Vedu and His Ommacchi Thatha ( Volume-1 )
    Vedu and his OmmAcchi ThAthA ( Volume-1 ) Lakshminarasimhan Sridhar Copyright © 2017 Lakshminarasimhan Sridhar All rights reserved. 1 FOREWORD Dear AastikAs ! I am delighted to know that Sri Lakshminarasimhan Sridhar is releasing a new book entitled, “ Vedu and OmmAcchi ThAthA –Volume I” . This book is the first of the series of books covering the Vaibhavams of the illustrious AchAryAs of Srimad Srirangam Andavan Guru Parampara in an innovative manner to meet the existing information needs of the younger generations of the global Sri VaishNava Kudumpam . It is a bhAgyam for Sriman Sridhar to have received the niyamanam of the Current pontiff of Srimad Andavan Asramam , Srimad SrimushNam Andavan Swami to create this series of informative books on Andavan Asrama guru Parampara to reach out to the younger generations . This book and its sequel releases are set in a unique and delightful conversational style that Sriman Sridhar has developed successfully during the past decade . The earlier releases on Chitra Desikeeyam covering the divya charitram of Swamy Vedantha Desikan the Pilgrimage to many famous temples in Karantaka with links to AchArya RaamAnuja in Melnaadu are examples of such books and web sites . I am happy to learn that Sriman Sridhar’s book on the DasAvatarams of Sriman NaarAyaNa set in his inimitable style is getting ready for release soon. Sriman Sridhar addresses very well an existing gap in information identified by our current AchAryas of our Sri VaishNava darsanam especially as it relates to the information needs of the younger generations regarding our noble sampradhAyam . Such books help the Vedu and OmmAcchi Thatha –Volume I elders of the Family also to use them as information resources/teaching tools to introduce the greatness of our AchArya paramparai founded and nurtured by Sriman Narayana .

    Srirangam – Heaven on Earth A Guide to Heaven – The past and present of Srirangam Pradeep Chakravarthy 3/1/2010 For the Tag Heritage Lecture Series 1 ARCHIVAL PICTURES IN THE PRESENTATION © COLLEGE OF ARTS, OTHER IMAGES © THE AUTHOR 2 Narada! How can I speak of the greatness of Srirangam? Fourteen divine years are not enough for me to say and for you to listen Yama’s predicament is worse than mine! He has no kingdom to rule over! All mortals go to Srirangam and have their sins expiated And the devas? They too go to Srirangam to be born as mortals! Shiva to Narada in the Sriranga Mahatmaya Introduction Great civilizations have been created and sustained around river systems across the world. India is no exception and in the Tamil country amongst the most famous rivers, Kaveri (among the seven sacred rivers of India) has been the source of wealth for several dynasties that rose and fell along her banks. Affectionately called Ponni, alluding to Pon being gold, the Kaveri river flows in Tamil Nadu for approx. 445 Kilometers out of its 765 Kilometers. Ancient poets have extolled her beauty and compared her to a woman who wears many fine jewels. If these jewels are the prosperous settlements on her banks, the island of Srirangam 500 acres and 13 kilometers long and 7 kilometers at its widest must be her crest jewel.
