An appeal from JayaSatyaPramodaNidhi

Jaya Satya Pramoda Nidhi – Introduction

Jaya Satya Pramoda Nidhi is great visionary initiative started by His Holiness Shri 1008 Satyapramodateertha Swamiji's in 1984. Through this benevolent fund he gave grants to deserving poor Brahmin students in order to enable them to pursue their educational goals. Since 1984, until now, every year, many students have received financial assistance through this Fund by the blessings of Shri 1008 Satyaatmateertha Swamiji.

We do not claim that we have fully helped the student to complete his education. But we do have the satisfaction people have been benefited through this institution and embarked on a better life.

It is a great challenge to get good education with rising educational fees. Poor Brahmin students even cannot get loans. All these students depend on an outsider for financial help. Its fine, if they get it, otherwise one Brahmin looses chance to get educated well and it affects the whole Brahmin community. So in view of this, we are requesting you to help grow this initiative, so that it can support as many deserving Brahmins as possible to get educated properly.

Few of the facts, figures and last year report in brief are given below:

v The scholarship for 2006-07 students at Uttaradi matha: His Holiness Sri Satyaatmateertha Swamiji has distributed Rs.90, 000 to 28 needy Madhwa students who are pursuing in Engineering & Medical courses. From the academic year 2007-08, we started giving the scholarship for PUC 1st year students because we understand that early help would students to pursue their goals.

v The scholarship for 2007-08 is given to more than 75 students nearing the amount of Rs.3, 00,000.

Once again it is a sincere request to donate generously towards "Jaya Satya Pramoda Nidhi" a non-profit trust. Donations of Minimum Rs.1000/- and multiples of Rs.1000- thereof are accepted

MYP Update - Jan 01-06

namaskAra all,

We would like to bring out a periodical update of MYP events going forward.
Here is the first of the series:

The first weekend of 2008 turned out to be very rewarding for us, with loads of good opportunity for Seva, Sadhana and Satsangha.

Marghashira-Krishna-Dwadashi, Jan 5th SAT:

Event #1
What: Sri Hari Vayu Sthuthi Purascharane & Theertha/Prasad (Dwadashi pAraNe)
Where: Sri Jayatheertha Vidya Peeta, Sri Uttaradi Mutt, B Gudi, Bangalore
When: 0500 - 0700

Sri Hari Vayu Sthuthi Purascharane in the devine presence of Sri Jayatheertharu, followed by Manyu Suktha and Sundara Kanda Parayane. Our sincere thanks to Sri Vekateshachar, for his continued guidance and Sri Bheemasena Achar for accomodating all of us for TP with a very short notice.

Event #2
What: Meeting with Office bearers of Sri Jaya Satya Pramoda Nidhi Trust,
Where: Vishwa Madhwa Maha Parishat, Sri Uttaradi Mutt, B Gudi, Bangalore
When: 1030 - 1230

Discussion about the ongoing Programmes and Future Schedules.
Our regards to Sri Vidyadheeshacharya Guttal, Sri Vekateshachar & Sri Raghavendrachar Rachuri for their involvement & leadership and providing an opportunity for us to express our
thanu, mana, dhana sahita seva for a noble cause.

Event #3
What: Pravachana on Urdhwa Pundra and its Significance - Part 1
Where: Sri Sridhar Gatpa's Home, Hanumantha Nagar, Bangalore
When: 1730 - 1930

Our regards to Sri Vadirajachar Karnam, for the session with so much of research and information collection from various sources. Please watch out our notice on the second Part.
This is a session, never to be missed.

Marghashira-Krishna-Trayodashi, Jan 6th SUN:

What: Nitya Karma Workshop for Women
Workshop Delivered by Sri Pandit Chaturvedi Vedavyasachar
Guest of Honour and Ashirvachana by Sri Sri Vishwa Nandana Theertharu
Where: Poorna Prajna Vidya Peeta, Bangalore
When: 0900 - 1700

This was one of our dream workshops, conceived, conceptualised and executed by MYP Core Team. The session was attended by more than 120 ladies, few of them with their spouces to get the Guru Mantra Upadesha. Needless to say the response was very very encouraging
for the organisers as the participants felt it was the need of the hour and delivered with such a precission to quench their thirst of knowledge, inquisitiveness with the right mix of reasoning & abundant shastra background. The whole session was free of cost for the participant, with
Theertha Prasada provided by MYP.

The first cut feedback we recieved from our participants indicate that this was a much needed session for all Madhwa Mahila Bandhus, and the time was not at all sufficient. Please watch this space for a repeat of this session subject to availibility of time and bandwidth.
Thanks to all those people who have already enquired about this.

Our sincere thanks to following people for making this a grand accomplishment.
* Sri Sri Vishwa Nandana Theertharu for his Ashirvachana, Phala Mantrakshathe & Blessings
* Sri Pandit Chaturvedi Vedavyasachar for his tireless interactions with MYP Core Team for past 2 weeks in planning and delivering this stupendous session and his guidance, special thanks for offering his t-guidance via phone for any of our queries and ji~jnAses
* The Management & Staff of Poorna Prajna Vidya Peeta for enabling our workshop
* Chincholi Family for their nirantara Seva to all MYP programmes
* The Key Organisers from MYP - Sripriya Sridhar, Sudha Vittal & Vedavathi, without whom
the program could not have been a success.
* special thanks to Sri Thippa K Srinivasa Rao, who came all the way from Chennai
* Thanks to our Madhwa Bandhus, who encouraged us for this event by participating, enquiring, accomodating the absence of "gruhiNis" for the whole day, enabling them to acquire this knowledge and devotion.

Please find attached some pictures of the event along with this mail, and you can check
the complete deck at url below (this might need you to log into our yahoo group)

1. Please do write an achievement log for 2007 and celebrate them.You can think of having a parayana of Sri Hari Vayu SthuthiPurascharane at your home to commemorate this. Remember, what yougive attention and gratitude to ....grows and gets multipliedexponentially...

2. Please do write an agenda log for 2008 and be happy and thankfulas you visualize it. As this Universe is a platform thatmaterializes your dominant aspirations that you have alreadyactualized in your mental world. Do not forget to pray Sri Hari VayuGurugaLu for the strength, focus and determination to achieve youraspirations.

3. Find a mentor / Guru who can help you get there…and remember thata mentor is someone that has the "fruit on the tree" that you wantand cares about you and your success. Get involved in atmOddhAra andlOkOddhAra. In Bangalore we do have lot of Acharyas, Pandits whoconduct classes at various localities, same in other cities -Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai etc. We also have a distance learningmodule avaialble for the blessed ones. Please make use of them.

4. Do get involved in giving it back to our sidddhanta. You can do soby way of INVESTING … 10% or more of your hard earned income,precious time and valuable efforts to the good cause of learning,practicing, propogating our Philosophy, a cause that we all believein. Find a means and pursue Sri Hari and his devotees' service.If you need to know how you can do this, please go to MYP homepage onthe yahoogroups, find our objectives and lets know how we can helpyou pursue our common areas of interests.
