     Dear  bhaktAs of veerarAghava perumAL ,
    
     Namo NArAyanA . kindly accept adiyens pranAmams. 

     Sri Sadagopan swAmi has kindly given an excellent account about  the
forthcoming sahasra-kalasAbhishekam  for Sri vaidya veerarAghava perumAL.

     Kaliyan (Thirumangai AzhvAr) has saluted the perumAL as "than
adiyArku Innian" ( one sweet to His devotees ) . The  azhagu (beauty) of
Uttsavar will certainly make a bhaktA speechless & motionless . Adiyen can
boldly say that NO other perumAL(utsavar) is as beautiful as  rAghavan .
Similarly are His kalyAna GunAs. It is adiyen's sincere request to all the 
bhAgavathALs that they should certainly get the blessings of Sri Kanavalli
thAyAr & Sri VeerarAghava perumAL at their abode at thiruvaLLUr (near
MadrAs), whenever they visit India.

     sahasra kalasAbhishekam (1008 kalasams) is  very rarely performed
nowadays. As far as adiyen knows , it is only done for Lord SrinivAsA at
thirumalai (thirupati). This year , bhaktAs of rAghavan ( mainly
initiated by Sri veerarAghava kainkarya sabhA) have wished to perform the
abhishekam for their dear perumAL.

      Thanks in advance to all the bhAgavathALs taking part in this
kainkaryam.
