all devotees are eagerly anticipating srivilliputtur program. .org will cover the event in full.

radhe krishna,
SriSri anna visited another Ramar Temple at Adambar near Kumbakonam. The Kumbabishegam of the temple was complete recently. He will be at Paranur for ASHADA EKADESI on Tuesaday. Devotees may remember that this was the day that Sri Baktha Kolahalan Came to SriSriAnna.

radhe krishna,
i am waiting anxiously at tiruvannamalai yogi ram surat kumar ashram. srisrianna is scheduled to come here today evening to dive his discourse and release a souvenir.

after krishnapuram kadayanallur navagam srisrianna left for srivilliputtur. srisrianna and subadra (annas daughter) are giving their upanyasam in srivilliputtur on july 2nd. srisrianna is there the whole day. all devotees can come to the temple to catch anna. so anna reached srivilliputtur and then stayed that night at gokulam madurai and left for srirangam the next day morning.

srisri also started to some kumbabishegam, of a temple near kumbakonam, details of which are yet to come. srisrianna is right now at chenganoor.

radhe krishna,
i am so sorry that i did not do any updating of .org for the past three months. i hope you all would have received the recent mail from .org and seen the theppothsavam pages.

last week i met srisrianna at krishnapuram near kadayanallur. he was giving a ramayana upanyasam along with sri. hari anna. he was there for nearly ten days. i went to krishnapuram daily evening from tirunelveli. it was a wonderful week. srisri anna also took part in the palalayam function of sri.arunachaleswar temple at kadayanallur. he also went to 'maruthur' a shivan temple where the kumbabishegam is scheduled soon.

last time when anna came to tirunelveli rajaram anna's driver took anna to a perumal temple in C.N village in tirunelveli. it was rajarams home town. the temple was in a dilapilated condition and the village people told anna. anna told 'all village people get together and do the kumbabishegam, i too will join with you'. now after a year rajaram says the kumbabishgam of the temple is scheduled soon. wherever srisrianna places his feet those temples are renovated.

Radhekrishna,
I haven't heard from Santhanam for a long time too. Probably he is busy enjoying satsangam.
I heard Anna is going to Gokulam,Madurai this monthend for Kallazhagar Chitra festival. From the very first year after Gokulam was established in Madurai, Azhagar stops at this mandabapadi and it is a great oppurtunity to be with Anna during that time. My wishes to everyone who get a chance to go to Madurai this year.
Radhekrishna

Sri Thila, Radhekrisha, I'm not sure, but it could be achalam@vsnl.com. probably you might want to send an email to this id and confirm if it is the same person.
Also, I was wondering if you could share some of the videos or photos that you might have taken during your trip. Oru chinna nappasai..:-)

Radhekrishna,
I found this article on Hindu about our Vishaka manni's music.
http://www.hindu.com/fr/2004/01/09/stories/2004010901470900.htm
I was gifted to listen to Vishaka manni's singing during brahmotsavam 2 years back. What else can be more sweeter than listening to Anna's kirthanais in carnatic from his own 'mattuponnu'. I cannot express the beauty of Anna and Hari listening to that and enjoying her voice sitting in front of Bhavukaranam. I wish I were a stray dog loitering at the streets of paranur, but we all know it is not that easy unless 'he' wishes so..'Yam Evaisha Vruneethe Tena Labhyaha'.
Sri hari,
Nanda

There is good news for all SriSri devotees. All SriSri's discourses are to be released in CD format. It is a long time desire of many SriSri devotees. The CD's of Bagavatham, Ramayanam and Bagavatha MoolaPayanam will be released by SriSri During his Chennai RR Sabha Program.

Radhe Krishna,

We had been to Paranur for the Vaikunta Ekadesi. It was wonderful. Kolahalan's Abishegam was performed in the Big Hall outside the Temple. That evening Kolahalan gave darshan clad in his Rathnangi!

After the Abishegam a surprise message was announced to all devotees. The ekadesi coming on Jan 18th falls on a Sunday and on that day in the evening the Theppothsavam of Kolahalan will be celebrated. The pond is full of water to the brim, so SriSri has decided to have the Theppothsavam.

All the devotees can plan their paranur trip, for kolahalans Thepposthavam is taking place nearly after a gap of 12 years.

So let us all meet on jan 18th at Paranur.
