CAMP REPORT I RESIDENTIAL CAMP AT SRI AHOBILA MUTTS BALJI MANDIR PUNE The first residential camp at Sri

Ahobila Mutts Sri Balaji mandir, Pune was held on a grand scale from 02-05-2011 to 08-05-2011.About 19 students participated in this camp. Students studying from II class to Degree Final year were present in the camp. Dhesika Sthotrams, divine stories, Bhajans, dance, skit, Dhesika Charitram quiz, and spiritual lessons were taught to the participants of the camp. Another important feature of the camp is that the teaching of Annamacharya Keerthanams by Sri Parameshwar from TTD Annamacharya Sankeerthanam Project. We appreciate the stannous efforts taken by Sri U.Ve.Saranathan Swamy and his team in arranging the program through Sri Medasani Mohan, an ardent devotee of Srimad Azhagiyasinghars. Another highlight of the camp was science workshops conducted by Smt.Sudha Varadharajan who took strains to explain the scientific facts in lucid and practical manner to the children. The main feature of the camp was the stress on Sri Vaishnva Sampradayam, its guru parampara and its glory. Students were taught Sandhyavandanam by C.R.Sanjay Srivatsan (XII completed) and Sri Prasanna Venkatesan from Hyderabad. The military punctuality with which the Archakas and the paricharakas of the temple performed Kainkaryams to the Lord immensely beneficial to our children who could attend suphrabhatam, prasada ghostee in the morning and evening, Annamacharya chorus singing in the night and also singing during sayana seva. Credit shall be given to Sri U.Ve.Mukkur Srinivasachariar Swamy, the old person with a young heart;Sri U.Ve Thayar Seshadri Swamy, the commander of Archaka team and an excellent PRO for the temple, the young and dynamic Archaka Sri U.Ve.Mukkur Malolan and Sri Vattaru Varadan, the hardworking assistant Sengurichi Srikanth.

Children were served delicious prasadam by the kitchen expert Sri Melma Kannan Swamy. His love for the children is simply amazing. Mysore Gurukulam Sri U.Ve.Bhakta Vathsalan Swamy took all the care in serving prasadam to one and all. We are all delighted to hear the reciting of Prabhandham at the temple by the stalwarts like Sri U.Ve.Desikachary Swamy, Mysore Gurukulam Sri U.Ve.Bhaktavathsalan U.Ve.Mukundan Swami, Sri Krishna kumar, Vedamami etc. It was a feast to watch the daily Thirumanjanam of perumal, Ubhayanachimars and Shri Bhashyakarar, everyday during the camp. The Lord Malola Srinivasa revealed his thirumeni to all of us pretext of the kavacham being measured by the goldsmith for vajrangi. We could have the special Garuda sevai darshanam and the Moolavar Thirumanjanam on the Akshaya Thrithiya day. The height of all the events was Udayavar Thirunakshatram on 07-07-2011. Sri Ramanuja blessed all of us all these days and hence we had no problems during our stay in the temple. Sri Krishna Premi Swamy had blessed us on Sri Ramanuja Jayanthi day by giving upanyasam on Sri Ramanujar. Special Thirumanjanam was performed to Sri Bhashyakarar and Perumal on that day. We are all thankful to the secretary Sri Ranganathan who stressed the need of singing Annamacharya Keerthanams in our mutt. He also offered to arrange a trip to Sri Kshetra Pandaripuri. We had to refuse the same owing to weather and time constraints. I would like to express my gratitude to the joint secretary Sri U.Ve.Varadrajan,who, was constantly in touch with Sri Mukundan Swamy right from booking of our tickets of Hyderabad-Pune to booking after the basic amenities

required for the children every day inspite of the busy office and residential schedule. Sometimes he came directly from the office and stayed in the temple up to 1pm or so, in order to fulfill the camp and temple requirements. We thank the committee for arranging the Pune local tour through Sri Varadharajan on 06-05-2011 which was enjoyed by everyone. We also thank Treasurer Sri Rajesh for enquiring our requirements regularly and fulfilling them. Sri Rangachary took pains to arrange drinking water, stationary for children etc. Mr. Sri Raman assisted us in need. I am enclosing the details of the camp along with those of participants here with. We have no words to thank Sri U.Ve. Sowmyan Swami, Sri U.Ve.Mukundan Swamy for giving us an opportunity to taste the success through the satsang. JAYA JAYA SHREE SUDHARSHANA A.RamaKrishna Vidhatha Btech IV Year Hyderabad, A member of the camp.
