Dear bAgawathAs,

 

thrimsa thrikOdi vasu rudra divAkarAthi

dEvAthi dEvagaNa santhatha sevyamAnam

ambOja sambava chathur mugakeeyamAnam

vanthE sayAnamiha bogini sArngapANim

---- Sri KumbakOna mahAthmiya mangaLa slOkam

 

Simple meaning:

This lord Sri sArngapAni of Thiru kudanthai is *ever* being

worshipped by all the eight vasus, 11 rudrAs, tweleve suryAs, two

aswini dEvathAs, 330 billion dEvAs, and asurAs. In order to do

this nitya kainkaryam to Sri SArngarAjan, all of them are doing

nityA vAsam all the time at the holy feet of Sri Aravamudan and

are ever present here. ***

 

It is a bAgyam for everyone to join this kainkaryam. It

is not merely termed as once in a life time kainkaryam. In fact it

is a kainkaryam one can do once in many lives. So I urge everyone

to particiapate in this kainkaryam for Sri Amudhan. adiyEn grew up

under Sri Amuthan's holy feet, and adiyEn is still a native of

this holy place "thiru kudanthai". adiyEn would assemble some

words for Sri ArAvamudhan in the next few days to come. The temple

was robbed in 1995 and jeweleries worth of 3.5 million rupees were

stolen. Though the robber was arrested, many of the jeweleries

were not recovered. After this incident, many bakthAs gathered to

mobilise efforts to replace all jeweleries and as well do a mahA

samprOkshanam for this temple. adiyEn's uncle Sri L.Rajagopalan

nephew of 43rd Jeer of Sri Ahobila muth, is a member of this thiru

paNi committee. He had asked me to raise funds for this kainkaryam.

Even prior to my starting these series of postings many have come

forward to contribute to this kainkaryam already. Many have agreed

to send the money soon. I request every one of you to join this

kainkaryam and receive Sri Amuthan's blessings. The kumbAbishEkam

is scheduled for June 30, 1999. We in intend to send the

proceedings by June 15th 1999 to Kumbakonam. We will keep writing

untill then. In addition to Sri VS and myself Sri Murali will

write on Sri kOmaLa dhandakam a special srisukthi on Sri komaLa

vaLLi thAyAr. So please enjoy reading the many postings that are

to come on Sri Amuthan and contribute to this kainkaryam on or

before June 15 1999.

 

Many of you must have known that a few srivaishnavas have

started a noble organization known as SVSS, to do kainkaryam to

Srivaishanava temples, mutts and bAgawathAs. Among many other

roles they intend to undertake, serving as a conduit to send money

to divya desams in India is one of the tasks of SVSS. Please use

the following instructions and send your cheques to SVSS to the

following address of Smt. Nagu Satyan. The money sent for this

kainkaryam may be entitled for an appropriate tax shelter where

applicable.
