Dear Sri Matam Sishyas and Abhimaanis:

 

The 78th thirunakshtara mahotsavam of Srimad Azhagiyasingar

(karthigai-utthirattaadhi) falls on Nov 22nd this year (please note that

Utthirattaadhi falls on the 21st of November itself in USA). Its planned to be

celebrated in a grand manner at Hyderabad (coinciding with the 25th anniversary

of Sri Matam of Hyderabad).

 

You can view the invitation by going to our website at

http://www.ahobilamutt.org

 

The utsavam is held over a 2 to 3 week period and is attended by thousands of

devotees from all over the world. In addition, hundreds of vidwans belonging to

both chaturveda and prabhandam from different schools and sampradaayams across

the country are invited and their rendition of vedam and prabhandam is a treat

to listen. Vidwat sadhas is held during the two weeks that also provides ubhaya

vedantins an opportunity to engage in spiritual discussions. This provides a

unique opportunity for accomplished vidwans from different schools to meet at

one point and demonstrate their vidwat acquired by years of practice.

 

The entire event is held under the auspices of Sri Matam and as such involves

enormous resources. Most of the expenditure is focussed around prasadam for

devotees and providing accomodation, travel expenses and generous sambhavanais

to vidwans to nurture the traditional roots.

 

This is a great opportunity for sishyas of Sri Matam to contribute for this

grand occasion. Sri Ahobila Matam, USA is conducting the annual fundraiser for

this event. We request all Sri Matam sishyas to contribute generously towards

this utsavam. Please send your pledges ASAP ($251, $108, $51, $25 or any amount

that you can contribute) to Srihari Raghavan at srihari. You

can also use the paypal system in our web site or send your checks directly in

favor of " Sri Ahobila Muth " to
