Sri Amudhan SamprOkshanam and ChAthur mAsya sankalpam - Part 14

 

Shame on inter governmental water sharing disputes,

many of these tanks are dry as the canals connecting them to

kauveri and its branches are also dry. But in thanjAvur

district, the underground water table is very near and one

can easlily pump water from the same tank bottom and fill it

as well. But it needs initiative from the local people living

in those villages. A motorpump may cost under Rs 15000 with a

simple pump house structure. The eroded banks may need to be

reconstructed and the tank has to be cleaned. These works may

cost Rupees 250,000 to 500,000. But more than the money, it

needs people to take initiative and care. It will be even

more helpful if bAgawathAs, "notice" these shortfalls and

report in this media, in addition to reporting the "kuRais"

such as reading the text in gOshti etc. Please choose a

temple at your home town and participate in it by any way

you can. adiyEn pleadged to help atleast 5 temples including

my hometown temples of Lord Sri Amudhan and Sri Oppiliappan

during my trip is some way or the other.

 

Some of the divya dEsams are situated in villages

that donot have anynore SrivaishnavAs left. Example Sri

Anbil. It was so sad to see that a drunken fellow lying down

at the very entrance of this temple & we had to cross him to

goto the temple at Sri Anbil. It seems they donot even have a

good locking facility in the temple such that the perumAL

goes to Sri Rangam where all the jewels of this temple are safekept.

ie., this Lord Sri Sundararajan of SriAnbil visits Srirangam once in a year

for a special ursavam and wears his

jewels there and leaves them there and come back after the

ursavam. By the way as similar to nava thirupathis Sri Anbil

temple was renovated very recently (many thanks to Srirangam devasthanam)

and the samprOkshanam is scheduled in late

August.

 

This is common in some of the temples chola nattu

divya desams too. Many of the Srivaishnavas have migrated in

60's & 70's. Please encourage if you know any of your elders

who are natives of these temples and are now retired and are

able and living in cities to atleast visit (Some may even

move to these places) and participate and involve in the

temple kainkaryams very frequently. Some need not listen to youngsters

especially after living an urban life for many

years and as well for many of their own personal reasons. But

nothing can prevent one from visiting these temples very

frequently. If you can, please also spend your money for them

(elders) to travel and let them know that you are fully intended to

support these temples in anyway you can. Even if

9 TVS groups can reconstruct all these divya desams, and if

no one is visiting them frequently, then it is a going to be deserted.
