Usage of funds

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs of ThiruveLLUr Divya Dampathis :

 

On this Aadi SvAthi day sacred to the smaraNam

and dhyAnam of the 25 th Pattam Azhagiya Singar,

SaapAnugraha Sri VaNN SatakOpa SrinivaAsa Yatheendra

Maha Desikan , it is my privelege to come back to

you and account for the disposition of the Funds that

thirty of you contributed for the MahA SamprOkshaNa

Kaimkaryam at ThiruveLLUr . May Sri Kanakavalli SamEtha

Sri VeerarAghavan's and the AchAryAL's blessings be

with you and your family always.Five of the Azhagiya Singars

have their BrindhAvanams( Final resting place for their

Bodily remains ) at this Divya Desam .They are the 32nd,33rd,

34th,35th and 42nd Azhagiya Singars .

 

Our fund raising had a hectic pace and had only 5 days

to join in .You all came thru generously .The list of

the aasthikAs , who joined in this kaimkaryam is provided

below . Both Sriman K.G. KrishNan (KGK) and myself thank

every one of you .Special thanks on our behalf goes to

Sriman Dileepan , who received the funds from a Tax deductible

perspective and is forwarding the donated sum to Chennai .

He has spent sizable amount of time amidst his many duties.

 

It is my pleasure now to brief you on a durable way through

which the funds generated are going to be used to offer

our worship at the sacred feet of the divya

dampathis throughout the year and for years to come . This

tremendous blessing has been made possible by two MahAns :

 

(1)Sriman KGK Swamy and (2) Srimadh Paramahamsa

ParivrAjaka Sri VaNN SatakOpa NaarAyaNa Yatheendhra

MahA Desikan ( the Current Jeeyar Of Ahobila Mutt)

under whose golden reign , so many great

kaimkaryams are being commissioned in a far-reaching

way to benefit the aasthikaa community .

 

Let me say a few words about Sriman KGK Swamy ,

who is from a family of those , devoted to ThiruveLLUr

Emperumaan and ThAyAr and the Ahobila Matam jeeyars .

He is the father of our dear Sri Anand and

the son-in-law of Another MahAn born under

the constellation of Svathi, Sri UtthamUr Swamy.

 

Sri KGK is always searching for ways to serve

the divya Dampathis of ThiruveLLUr andn his AchAryAs.

Thanks to a brilliant arrangement spearheaded by him ,

we are able to get multiple dividends (ROI) on the

contributions that we have made .The creative arrangement

is as follows :

 

(1) Our donated funds of close to 1.7 Lakhs of rupees

will be added to another 8.3 Lakhs of Funds collected by

Sri KGK Swamy for the NithyArAdhanam of the Divya Dampathis

at ThiruveLLUr to bring it up to 10 Lakhs .

 

(2) Our Gracious Azhagiya Singar has kindly agreed to

match those 10 Lakhs to set aside a Trust that will

yield interst of approximately Rs 8,000/month on a

recurring basis.

 

(3) Those funds will be used to provide deha YaathrA

support for FOUR AdhyApAkAs , who will render Veda-

Divya Prabhandha Kaimkaryam for the Divya Dampathis

DAILY . They will be given free quarters at the Ahobila

Matam at ThiruveLLUr .

 

Thanks to the sagacity of Sri KGK Swamy and the generosity

of Azhagiya Singar , the funds donated by you are yielding

a 1170% Return on the investment .The most important aspect

is that these funds are going to be set aside for the daily

Ubhaya VedAntha Kaimkaryam to the SaraNya Dampathis at

this ancient KshEthram . I can not think of a greater

good fortune for the contributions of the devout BhakthAs .

THANK YOU ALL MOST SINCERELY .I request those , who have

not joined so far in such Kaimkaryams to join in .

Here is a list of the thirty contributors to

the ThiruveLLUr Kaimkaryam for the record:
