Thiruvallikeni Utsavar

Wonder why Pachu is so fond of getting this image in rotated left? Even when I embedded through Live Writer the image tilted. I chose ‘Rotate Right’ option to get the correct directional image. The high resolution might still show a rotated image but a full-fledged color printout should be fine though.

SARAN -- Sampradaya Anushtana Rakshana AbhimaN

SARAN the brain child of Sri Dr.U.Ve. Ananthapadmanabhachariar swami is a satsang which aims in propogating Swami Ramanujar’s sampradaya.  With the aim of promoting the sampradaya SARAN is organizing many religious functions

5. 2008- mukthinath (SALAGRAMAM- Nepal); 2009-kanchipuram;2010- Melkotai (CAPITAL OF SWAMI RAMANUJAR). With swami Ramanujar’s blessings SARAN is planning to celebrate it in puri on May 8th, 2011.
6. RAMANUJA DAYAPATRAM MAHOTSAVAM  held in swami desikans sannadhi at Melkotai was revived by SARAN after a gap of 18 years. It was celebrated in a befitting manner and will be continued in the years with the blessings of Swami Ramanuja.

SARAN is also involved in renovation of many age old temples.. We also have a  trust named PANCHAJANYAM which offers funds for renovation of different temples.Asthika’s donations for this trust is exempted under section 80G Income Tax Act .

The main objective of this satsang is to inspire every srivaishanva to protect our sampradaya by practising it. Every srivaishnavaite should have faith in the sampradaya preached by our aacharayas.

SARAN releases cds of APN swami and also releases various scholars’ upanyasams. Apart from this, saran sevaks in and around India help individually for the protection of srivaishnava sampradaya.

SARAN is in a process of collecting data of all srivaishnavas.Our swami believes that money is not the criteria, if satvikas like you can join together to protect the sampradaya. So kindly enroll yourself as saran sevak by filling below the form.
