Sri Ranganatha Temple at Pomona, NY

[Guest guest]

Dear Prapatti Group Members:

 

I am glad to inform you that there is an overwhelming support among the

Hindu community (Smarthas and Vaishnavas and North Indians) in Buffalo to

support the Sri Ranganatha temple project. Shri Sadagopan's articles were

of great help. In a few weeks time I will know the dollar figures that

will go to help the project so well conceived by His ardent devotees.

 

Sri Ranganatha is our Kula Dhanam. When Alavandar was told by Shri Rama

Mishrar (ManakkAl Nambi), the existence of a family treasure, and when he

learned that the family treasure is none other than Lord Ranganatha, he

gave up his whole kingdom to serve the Lord. Such is the greatness of the

Lord. He belongs to every one of us.

 

Till the temple reaches a stage where it is self-sustaining, as members of

the Prapatti group, I think we should all provide our maximum support and

seriously consider becoming a life-member of the organization responsible

for bringing Lord Ranganatha to the American continent.

 

I must also add that I enjoyed reading Shri Sadagopan's article on the

Srirangam temple gopuram. I was in Srirangam during that time and one of

the posters said: "mA Mannan katta mudiyAdadai mA Muni katti mudiththAr".

Mr Sadagopan has captured that spirit very well.
