Which induces unalloyed bliss ? Material wealth or just pure Lord’s darshana and service at His shrine? Which is more delicious? – Asks Saint Tyagaraja
Material wealth and money if used for self gratification only, does not yield true happiness. If the same wealth, is used to actuates devotion in a person or a community, it not only gives satisfaction for the donor, but also helps the society progress spiritually , culturally and materially.
And when action (or service) is performed “as” a service to God, then it indeed becomes the best form of worship – says Our Sri Swamiji.
Recently, Vikasatarangini Vijayanagaram, initiated programs and events in 13 Mandals of Vijayanagaram Division, Andhra Pradesh, to encourage people to donate generously for Ra:ma:nuja Sahasra:bdhi. They brought awareness among people about the greatness of Sri Ra:ma:nuja and His message. People were very happy and participated in the events with enthusiasm. Vikasatarangini was able to collect a total of 4 lakhs in Feb 2018. Vikasatarangini Vijayanagaram, conducted 40 Sri Rama Kalyanam programs through out the Mandals, for the peace and welfare of the communities.
