SriSri in MelKote Unjal Utsavam:

Melkote is one of the Abimana Kshetram, since Ramanuja stayed there for more than 12 years. It is the aboding place of Lord Seluva Narayanan (Chellapillai). Chellapillai is the Aradhana Moorthy of Sri Rama. He replaced Srirenganathar (Namperumal) in Ayodhya after Namperumals departure to srirangam with Vibeeshana.

Sri Anna's golden words

On Vairagya...
We cannot use the Indian currency in America. Similarly money that we possess can be used only as far as we are in this world, we cannot carry it with us after death.
