Sriramanavami is celebrated on the ninth day of the Chaitra Sukla paksha (bright half of the lunar month Chaitra – March/April). This day also coincides with the star Punarvasu, the birth star of Sri Rama (The seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu). Special festivities of this function include Sri Rama’s birth, Sita Rama Kalyanam, His victory over Ravana and His coronation ceremony. Vada pappu, Neer Mor (diluted buttermilk), Panagam (sweet herbal water) are few of the special prasadams significant of Sriramanavami. Sriramanavami celebration in our temple, a week long festivity, includes a number of religious activities. Daily Sundara Kanda parayana. (Sundara Kandam is that section of Valmiki Ramayanam, which deals with the heroic deeds of Hanuman/Anjaneya when he crossed over to Sri Lanka, discovered Sita, carried out a number of tasks and flew back to convey the news of Sita to Rama. Sundara Kanda parayana is believed to bring good news and hope) and Sri Rama Sahasranama Archana (chanting of 1000 names of Sri Rama) form special part of this event. On the Sriramanavami day, following the daily suprabhatam, Sundara Kanda parayanam and Sri Rama Janana Sarga (Sri Rama’s Birth story) Parayanas are performed. One of the Beautiful events that take place on this morning, after the parayanam, is The abishekam to Sri Rama Parivar (Sri Rama, Sri Sita, Sri Lakshmana and Sri Anjaneya) . Morning functions also include Sri Sitarama Kalyanam and Sri Rama Pattabhishekam. Annadhanam (distribution of free food - Prasadam) during Sriramanavami is a tradition in our Temple. Evening prayers include a Special Navaneetha Alankaram (decoration with butter) to Sri Anjaneya, an eternal devotee of Sri Rama. Hanuman Chalisa and Sri Anjaneya Sahasranama Puja (chanting of 1000 names of Sri Anjaneya) also form part of this religious service. May the Blessings of Lord Sri Venkateswara and Sri Mahalakshmi be with you and your family. HTCS Copyright 1998-2010 Sri Venkateswara Temple and Community Center .

K. NARAYAN was born on October 10, 1906, in Madras, South India, and educated there and at Maharaja’s College in Mysore. His first novel, Swami and Friends (1935), and its successor, The Bachelor of Arts (1937), are both set in the fictional territory of Malgudi, of which John Updike wrote, “Few writers since Dickens can match the effect of colorful teeming that Narayan’s fictional city of Malgudi conveys; its population is as sharply chiseled as a temple frieze, and as endless, with always, one feels, more characters round the corner.” Narayan wrote many more novels set in Malgudi, including The English Teacher (1945), The Financial Expert (1952), and The Guide (1958), which won him the Sahitya Akademi (India’s National Academy of Letters) Award, his country’s highest honor. His collections of short fiction include A Horse and Two Goats, Malgudi Days, and Under the Banyan Tree. Graham Greene, Narayan’s friend and literary champion, said, “He has offered me a second home. Without him I could never have known what it is like to be Indian.” Narayan’s fiction earned him comparisons to the work of writers including Anton Chekhov, William Faulkner, O.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

  • Sri Rama Navami
    Sri Rama Navami On Chaitra Sukla Navami (the ninth day of the bright half of Chaitra) 'Sree Ramanavami' is celebrated. Sree Rama was born on this day and years later on the same day Rama married Sita. 'Sree Sitarama Kalyana Mahotsav' (wedding) is performed in the abode Sitarama Temple, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District, Andhra Pradesh with great tradition and Bhakti. On behalf of Andhra Pradesh Government, Chief Minister with his wife visits the Kalyana Mahotsav and offers Silk Clothes and Pearls as Talambralu (auspicious) to the God and Goddess. The whole of this celebration is telecasted live in Doordarshan. "Wherever four Hindus live, Rama and Sita will be there" so said Swami Vivekananda, one of the foremost harbingers of modern national renaissance of Bharat. The reverse also is equally true - wherever Rama and Sita live, the people there will remain and live as Hindus. Every hill and rivulet of Bharat bears the imprint of the holy feet of Rama and Sita. Sri Rama reigns supreme to this day in the hearts of our people, cutting across all barriers of province, language, caste or sect. Even the tribes living in isolated valleys and jungles have names like Mitti-Ram and Patthar-Ram. In some other tribes, every name carries the proud suffix of Ram, such as Lutthu Ram, Jagadev Ram, etc. In many northern parts of Bharat mutual greetings take the form of Jay Ramjee Ki. Sri Rama has become so much identified with all the good and great and virile qualities of heroic manhood that expressions such as 'Us me Ram nahi hai' (there is no Rama in him) - meaning that a person has lost all manliness and worth - have become common usage.

I will take up three instances of the re-reading of the legend of Sita, across three diverse media of articulation, where-in the visual depiction of Sita plays a significant part in the formation of new and different Sitas: (i) a graphic novel, Sita’s Ramayana; (ii) a Malyalam feature film, Kanchan Sita; and (iii) an animated movie, Sita Sings the Blues. Although it cannot be claimed that the visual representation of Sita in these narratives gives a comprehensive account of position and role of women in the period that they are derived from, these narratives do constitute evidence of how the feminine has been perceived by the author of that particular narrative.
