"Temple help"

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhakthas,

One of my colleagues in University of Cincinnati has got an appeal for

donation so as to enable the construction of rajagopuram of a temple at

tirunelveli. I am enclosing the appeal with this letter. Interested

persons can donate directly to "Sridhar Hariharasubramaniam" or can mail

their check to the "trust of the temple".

 

For further clarifications, please contact Sridhar thru e-mail. His

AN APPEAL

 

The most ancient and hoary name of Tirunelveli junction is Veeraraghavapuram.

It has been named after Swami Veeraraghavar, the Presiding Deity in the temple

of Sri Varadharajaperumal in Nellai. This celebrated Vaishnavite temple was

constructed by Krishnavarma of the Lunar Dynasty who ruled this region with

Veeraraghavapuram as his capital town. Observing the deep piety of the king,

the neighbouring ruler utilised this opportunity to attack him. Desperately,

King Krishnavarma prayed to Sri Varadharajaperumal and chanted the name of

Lord Rama endlessly. Pleased with Krishnavarma's devotion, the Lord assumed

the form of the King, victoriously fought the foe with Sri Lakshmana as His

Chieftain and the monkey regimen led by Sugreeva. HE also appears as

Veeraraghavaperumal, the embodiment of bravery and valour. Deeply moved by the

Divine Vision, the king sang a number of slokas in praise of the Lord, as stated

in the Tamirabarani Mahathmiam. He then constructed a temple for

Sri Veeraraghavar and also the Veeraraghava Theerthakattam in the river

Tamirabarani.

 

Sri Varadharajaperumal Kaingarya Sabai has been formed to perform the holy task

of renovating this 500 year old temple and perform Mahakumbabhishekam after a

gap of 95 years, on 30 th MAY 1996, in the presence of Srimath Sri Vanamamalai

Ramanuja Jeer Swamigal. Construction of Rajagopuram is under consideration.

The estimated cost of the project is about Rs.25 lakhs.

 

A souvenir will be released in commemoration of the Mahakumbhabhishekam.

The public and philanthropists are kindly requested to contribute liberally.

 

THANK YOU.
