4th Sreemad Bhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram

Paralikad Thacchanaathukkavu Devi precincts

Trichur Dist., Kerala, India.

24th December 2005

1st January 2006

Dear and blessed Souls:

Harih Om Tat Sat. We are glad to inform you that the Fourth Annual Sreemad Bhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram will be held from 24th December 2005 to 1st January 2006 in Parlikad Naimishaaranyam, the sacred precincts of Tacchanatthukavu Devi Temple associated with Ascetics. Pandavagiri Narayanashrama Tapovanam and Vyasagiri Hind Navotthana Pratishtan will, as before, be jointly sponsoring the event.

Thousands of devotees from villages and cities will assemble in Naimishaaranyam daily for the great occasion, aimed at bestowing on those present the unique Sreemad Bhaagavata elixir. Many a village and town eagerly await this holy event of year.

Knowledge of the Supreme Truth, holds Sreemad Bhaagavata, is the only means to deliver human mind from the three-fold afflictions of the world. By exposing the profound Bhaagavata thoughts and values, the Tattva Sameeksha Satram will instil deeper wisdom, greater expanse and dispassion. The matchless interaction kindles Divinity, Bliss and Immortality at every stage by engendering Wisdom, Expanse and Inner strength.

Over 40 distinguished exponents will be expatiating on the invaluable spiritual treasure. It is a rare occasion to listen to so many tapaswins, scholars and philosphical thinkers on the values and truths propounded in Sreemad Bhaagavatam. We earnestly desire that thousands of people get enlightened and enriched, making Sreemad Bhaagavata values ‘the warp and woof of their daily life’.

Sri Krishna Yatra from Guruvayur, Dharma Dhvaja Yatra from Tiruvilvamalai and Sreemad Bhaagavata Grantha Yatra from Narayanashrama Tapovanam are some of the pre-Satram events, planned to generate public awareness for gaining right knowledge of our Dharma and heritage. Welcomed en route with bhojana-dravya-samarpanam (offering of materials for anna-daana), these Yatras will announce the holy event to the residents of surrounding areas. Dharma Ratha Yatra in and around Paralikad Naimisharanyam will also be conducted as in the past.

The inauguration on 24th December will be marked by “Heritage procession” in which Sreemad Bhaagavata Ratham, accompanied by Sannyaasins will be led by devotees with percussion instruments and caparisoned elephant. On reaching the Satrashala through the public road Sannyaasins will be received with Poorna Kumbham. After hoisting Dharma-dhvaja, they will be led to their seats with traditional taalappoli. A collective paada pooja will be performed for the spiritual heads.

Hoisting Dharma-dhvaja

The concluding day, 1st January 2006, will be the greatly benedictory Vishnu-sahasranaama Saarvajanik Mahaayajna, wherein 1,000 odd people led by Sannyaasins will be collectively performing archana and havan.

More than 4000 people from far and near are expected to assemble in Naimishaaranyam everyday. With anna-daana for all, lodging for outstation devotees, 30,000 sq. feet of pandal, sound and light, comfort stations, first aid and medical help, arrangements for scholars, etc., the estimated cost is Rs. 25 lakhs or more. This year, with a view to strengthen the efforts of volunteering and allied matters, we have, after deliberation opted for a 9 day Satram.

Devotion and God being the sole strength for conducting any such event, the participation and offerings from those inspired by devotion to the Supreme Reality and love for Dharma are the only resource available for us.

As widespread delusion and misdirection prevail about the ‘true values’ of human life as well as religion, it becomes incumbent on every votary of Dharma to involve, support and strengthen the event and ensure the real growth and prosperity of his lineage.

Besides recital of the Text in Sanskrit, the language will mainly be regional. The great holy event has, however, its auspicious benediction on entire humanity. To participate in this event – as a listener or a distant supporter – is rewarding in many ways. It bestows a rare fortune and blessing on your family.

Sreemad Bhaagavata Tattva Sameeksha Satram offers a great opportunity for all to participate mentally, materially and/or physically, feel fulfilled and earn lasting blessings of the Lord.
