With Anugraham from our Acharyan, we are glad to take our first baby step in giving a global perspective for our Ashram at its official website.

https://www.andavan.org

In the website home page at the top and just below the header section, we now have a group of four bright blue buttons providing names and links to Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashramam's Global Entities, namely,

1. Sri Ranganatha Paduka Vidyalaya Trust

2. Srimad Andavan Arts and Science College

3. Sri Ramanuja Mission Inc., USA

4. SRI NJ Ashramam, Srivari Sri Balaji Temple, New Jersey, USA

By clicking on a button, the system will take you to the selected entity's current website and by using the 'Back' button on the browser, you will return back to Ashramam's website.

By providing a global application-based service offering (which is is in the works and its announcement is coming up soon), relevant Ashram-specific service connection and integration is the futuristic goal while still keeping the individual entity branding, operational, administrative, financial and functional needs untouched. These needs are domain-specific and locale-specific.

Eventually, we all should connect with our Ashramam and our Acharyan through a single, global platform. As an example, a sishya should be able request and schedule for Samashrayanam from anywhere across the world based on how the request fits within our Acharyan's Vijaya Yatra schedule and His daily engagements. Please note our Acharyan's Vijaya Yatra in our holy land is all the year round, and also each and every year. The schedule is pretty dynamic and takes shape based on His ThirUllam and is completely at His discretion.
