Status Report on the two Kaimkaryams: (1) Thridhandam for AchArya RaamAnujA's right hand at Sri perumbhUthUr and (2) the latest CD On the twelve AzhwArs and the 108 dhivysa desams that they sung about(performed MangaLAsAsanam).

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

It is my pleasure to let you know that we have

reached the $4,600 level of the needed $5,500

funds to engage in these Kaimkaryams.

 

(1) 44 BhakthAs have contributed from $25 to $250

to bring us to this plateau . 32 of the 44 BhakthAs

have sent the funds directly to India in Rupees or

have sent to me for transmittal to India to cover

the Thridhandam construction and the Development

expenses to create the Multimedia , Interactive CD

ROM on the AzhwArs and their aruLiccheyalkaLs.The grapphics

on the Life of ThiruppANAzhwAr has been completed as of now.

We will complete the conceptualization and visualization work

before too long.Then will come the programming and assembly

part , which we estimate to take some where between four

to Six Months.

 

(2) 44 BhakthAs have contributed funds adding up to $4,600

as of today. We need another 900$ (16.3% of the total

funds needed))to complete the fund raising efforts

for this Kaimkaryam. 32 BhakthAs have already sent

their samarpaNams that they pledged. AdiyEn is waiting

to hear from the remaining twelve BhakthAs to prepare

the check to be transmitted to India.

 

(3) The funds needed for the ThridhaNdam Kaimkaryam are

here and therefore the work on construction of the gold-plated ,

Silver ThridhaNDam weighing more than 1 Kilogram has been

initated by Abhirami Jewelers of Chennai at our request.

It is our hope to get the creation of this ThridhaNDam

work completed by the jewelers before AchArya RaamAnujA's

Thirunakshathram this year (May 9) to enable the samarpaNam

during that Uthsavam .

 

(4) We are short by $900 for the CD ROM Kaimkaryam. It is

my fondest hope that few more BhakthAs will come forward

to raise the remaining funds . AdiyEn thinks of

the sum of $900 in a humorous vein this way:

Today , gasoline costs $2 per gallon and the sum of 900$

would help us buy 450 gallons , which in turn will

permit us to travel 12,600 miles on the assumption of

28 miles per gallon for the medium size car. AdiyEn

thinks that with this investment of the reaminig

900 $ , it will take us on a spiritual journey equivalent

to Millions of miles with the AzhwArs to visit the 108

dhivya desams that they performed MangaLAsAsanams

in their dhivya-prabhandhams .

 

May I invite a few more BhakthAs to join with the current

ghOshti of 44 BhakthAs to commence this journey

of a life time? We can take off as soon as we conclude

this last phase of fund raising effort .Support by

9 bhakthAs at the 100$ level or by 18 BhakthAs at

the 50 $ level or by any amount will be most welcome

to ramp up the ongoing efforts .

 

With prayers to AzhwArs, AchAryALs and the SaraNya Dhampathis,

Daasan , V.Sadagopan
