Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am sending herewith an appeal for donation from "THUPPUL TRUST" for

your favourable consideration. This trust has been formed to perform

primarily the"GARUDOTHSAVAM" for Sri Deepa prakasar temple (Sri

MahaVishnu)at kanchipuram on vaikunda Ekadasi day every year.

 

This temple is situated in the birth place of Sri Vedantha Desika, the

most reverred vaishnavite Acharya. Several Alwars(wandering bards and

saints) have sung in praise of this deity and this temple is one of the most

important temple of the 108 Sri vaishnava shrines. The Vaikunda Ekadasi day

falls on the Ekadasi Day preceeding full moon in the month of margasira(Dec

15 to jan 14). On this day dieties of five ancient temples(located in

kanchipuram) are taken out in procession on garuda vahanam. This was not

performed in the past years in the temple of Sri Deepa Prakasar for want of

funds.The then senior pontiff of Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt "His Holiness Sri

Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal" desired that this festival be

revived.

 

A trust has been formed for this purpose with a view to create a Corpus

Fund so that the interest earned out of it could be used for performing the

utsavam. Balance available out of interest income,if any,will be given to

temples, Vedic Scholars students who are in need of it.

 

I recommend your donating a sizeable amount from you people for this

worthy cause.

MANAGING TRUSTEE.
