Guest guest Posted January 9, 1996 Report Share Posted January 9, 1996 Dear nettors, I am herewith attaching a text sent by the thuppul managing trustee regarding the performing of garudothsavam. I got this letter long time back and I also have a hard copy of this request. I am actually collecting money for it. I am going to India on 21st jan and I plan to give the total amount to the trustee in person. If persons wish to donate directly also, they can send the checks in favor of "Thuppul Trust" and the address is given in the text itself. If people want to send it thru me they can pay the checks to Lakshmi N. Srinivasa, 3230 Bishop St, Apt#1 Cincinnati,OH 45220 Already myself and my co-students at Cincinnati collected around $1000 and sent it to "Thirukavalambadi" at thirunangur for conducting the nitya poojas. Here is the text -------------------- --- Smt. V.K.santha Managing Trustee Sri C.Gopalachari Sri I.V.Krishnamachary Sri V.K.Sudarshan Sri V.K.venugopalan Sri V.S.Parthasarathy To Dear Sirs, I am sending herewith an appeal for donation from "THUPPUL TRUST" for your favourable consideration. This trust has been formed to perform primarily the"GARUDOTHSAVAM" for Sri Deepa prakasar temple (Sri Maha Vishnu)at kanchipuram on vaikunda Ekadasi day every year. This temple is situated in the birth place of Sri Vedantha Desika, the most reverred vaishnavite Acharya. Several Alwars(wandering bards and saints) have sung in praise of this deity and this temple is one of the most important temple of the 108 Sri vaishnava shrines. The Vaikunda Ekadasi day falls on the Ekadasi Day preceeding full moon in the month of margasira(Dec 15 to jan 14). On this day dieties of five ancient temples(located in kanchipuram) are taken out in procession on garuda vahanam. This was not performed in the past years in the temple of Sri Deepa Prakasar for want of funds.The then senior pontiff of Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt "His Holiness Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal" desired that this festival be revived. A trust has been formed for this purpose with a view to create a Corpus Fund so that the interest earned out of it could be used for performing the utsavam. Balance available out of interest income,if any,will be given to temples, Vedic Scholars students who are in need of it. I recommend your donating a sizeable amount from you people for this worthy cause. Yours sincerely, for THUPPUL TRUST V.K.Santha MANAGING TRUSTEE. NOTE: This year the Vaikunda Ekadasi falls on 1.1.96.
