Kaimkaryams and Prasaadams

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

On the eve of my journey home to have

the darsana soubhAgyam of the sacred ArchA mUrthys , my heart

is full of thanks for all of your support for the many kaimkaryams

that has led to the presentation of the RathnAngi , Mutthangi ,

at Oppiliappan Sannidhi . Many of You have supported generously

the above kaimkaryams , Sri Abhinava Desikan's hundredth

anniversary , ThiruveLLUr MahA SamprOkshaNam , CD ROM

project on AchArya RaamAnujA et al. The Thiruvellur related

support has been amplified wiht the efforts of Sriman K.G.Krishnan

to result in arrangements for a corpus funds for daily

Veda PaarAyaNam and Divya Prabhandham recitation at

Sri Veeraraghavan's sannidhi . Other respected members have

raised fuinds to support a variety of Kimkaryams

such as support for the release of original commentaries

on Thiruvaimozhi, renovation of Sri Vara Vara Muni's sannidhi

at Kanchipuram , Ahobila Mutt's 600th anniversary ,

the release of Desika Prabhandham monograph , Sthothra

granthams of Swami Desikan et al .It is so heartening to

see these durable and pioneering efforts .

 

My prayers at all the divya desams during this journey

will be for this select group of AasthikAs , who are

contributing towards the upkeep and nourishment of

our rich sampradhAyam thru the above Kaimkaryams , sharing

their rich knowledge on our ancient sampradhAyams

and archiving those exchanges in Bhakthi archives ,

SaranAgathi Archives , AchArya Archives et al .

 

Sri Anbil Ramasawamy has spearheaded many activities

under the banner of SDDS and the Various coordinators

of the NAMA organization are doing laudable service

in their own communites . It is most heartening that

we have travelled a significant way together during

the last few months with the divya dampathi's blessings.

 

I have only one request to make to you . In all these

fund raising efforts of mine , I might have suggested/offered

sending appropriate Prasadams as a token of respect for the

contributions and might have missed out on individual

instances due to oversight or poor ccordination .

Please forgive me , if such things might have happened .

Please let me know of any lapses . I will fix it ASAP

in one way or the other .

 

In this context , I can not but thank profusely

Sri Sampath Rengarajan , who lifted the responsibilities

off my shoulder by copying the two musical tapes

containig Oppilaippan's vaibhavam ,

that I promised as souvenirs for the aasthikAs ,

who supported the Mutthangi kaimkaryam .Sri Rengarajan

copied these tapes 40 times and distributed them .

He absorbed all the postal and tape expenses for the same .

 

In the case of the ThiruveLLUr kaimkaryam , I am still waiting for

the PrasAdhams from India . It is slow in coming .

In case of AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM we plan to present

each of the 31 supporters with a CD ROM and a small monograph .

I am not a well-organized person and the lapses

may occur .Once you remind me , I will take care of it

rightaway , since I believe that a promise is a promise

and must be kept at all costs .

 

In conclusion , let me say that the Divya Dampathis at

Oppiliappan Koil are resplendent in their AbharaNams

presented by their children from Bahrain , Singapore ,

USA , India and other parts of the World . That itself is

a great source of Joy for every one of us .Soon , we

may realize the first CD ROM on the works of AchArya

RaamAnujA and follow it up with another CD ROM on

the 108 Sri VaishNavite Divya desams . We are travelling

together on a most meaningful journey performing Kaimkaryam

as we go along on this deha yaathrA of ours. May the SaraNya

dampathis strengthen our efforts to continue to perform

additional kaimkaryam in every way .
