Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha

Respected Sri Ramanuja members

Here is an introduction about Adiyal, who was a nobody until I met
SRIMANNARAYANA RAMANUJA CHINNA JEEYAR SWAMY.

His Holiness is the one who made me " yennaipuviel oru porulakki" and
brought me to the richest Sampradayam of all, SRI VAISHNAVISM.

My given name is Chitra Srinivasan Madhavan, and spiritual name is" Chitra
Ramanuja Dasi"

My true love is SriRama and His Parivars,and my favourite Acharyar is
Emberumar with Chelva Pillai. ( In my house I have a Vighraham of Udayavar
with small Selvappillai).

Though I was brought up in Thiruvallur my favourite Perumals are
THIRUKKANNAPURAM SOWRI RAJAN,
(Mannupugal Kosalai than manivairu vaiththavane)
(Maranamadaidal Vaigundam Kodukkum Piran), and Of course PERIA
PERUMAL, MALAIAPPAN and Chidambaram GOVINDARAJAN.

Though my profession is a physician, now I consider this a hobby and my true
love is reading DIVYA PRABHANDAMS and talking about PERUMALS.

With the blessings of Acharyas I get to visit India on a very regular basis
and visit atleast 20-30 Temples each time, (I am eternally grateful to few
Periavas like Sri VPS Varadhan, SR and JR. Varadhan family and Parthasarathy
from Kanchipuram for taking me there and showing me these temples.)

Please forgive me for being so long winded, because once I start on these
subjects it is very difficult to stop me.

My respects to everybody in this group.

Though my chronological is quite a bit, i am only 7 years old in my mind.
