Response to posting "Sravanam at Thoopul"

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhakthas,

 

Your response to adiyen’s posting on “Sravanam at Thoopul” has been quite

moving and overwhelming. That a “matter of fact” and “mundane” posting could

mean so much to so many is indeed remarkable. This only underscores the

member’s devotion & bhakthi for Lord Deepa Prakasha & “Our Thoopul Pillai –

Desikan”.

 

I am an ardent devotee of Lord Venkatanatha of Tirumala. Infact I develop

some kind of a restlessness if I do not visit Tirupathi atleast once in 3

months. I feel that I derive tremendous spiritual and mental strength by

merely standing before “Kaliyuga Varadan” (even if for a few seconds). My

visit to Thoopul was quite recent and that too only after

7-8 attempts. The day I first went to Thoopul, there was something happening

within me. I felt that I must “adopt” this temple & do something for it. May

be I was being quite presumptuous and arrogant, but I still keep wondering

if this had anything to do with Thoopul’s “Ghantavatharam” connection,

besides Vilakkoili Perumal being regarded as “elder” to Lord Srinivasa.

 

It is my sincere desire that as many Srivaishnava Bhakthas as possible must

visit this temple. So if you have any relations or friends visiting

Kancheepuram or Chennai, “PLEASE”, “PLEASE” ask them to visit this D.D.

Thoopul’s Kulamani needs no introduction. Desika refers to “Deepa Prakasa”

as “Vedanta Vedyamiha Veghavathi Sameepe', DEEPAPRAKASA ITHI DAIVAM

ADVITEEYAM”.

 

To answer some of the Bhaktha’s quries:

1)The Sravanam at Thoopul on 21/6, was my first “Sravanam” at Thoopul. By

Deepaprakasha’s and Acharyan’s grace I would love to be there for every

Sravanam.

2)The groups from Bangalore and Chennai on 21/6 were improptu. However

“Sravanam Visits” to Thoopul can be better organized if “Numbers” are

available “regularly”.

3)If any member’s relative desires to come to Thoopul for any Sravanam and

if they feel that they would require some assistance, please ask them to

contact me on my e-mail address. I will do whatever little I can do to make

their visit comfortable & fruitful.

4)If any member/member’s relatives want to undertake “Kainkaryam” for

“Sravanam” or even for “Nithya Aradhanam” please inform me. I shall

co-ordinate for making necessary arrangements for the same.

5)I would have no objection whatsoever on my posting “Sravanam at Thoopul”

being circulated to member’s friends or relatives.
