Funding of various of Srivaishnava Causes

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhakthas,

 

Pranamams to all of you.

 

LET ME AT THE OUTSET CLARIFY THAT THIS IS NOT A POSTING SOLICITING FINANCIAL

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ANY SPECIFIC SRIVAISHNAVA CAUSE.

 

All of know too well that finance is the life line of every activity. The

various Srivaishnava causes that we honestly believe in, cannot be any

exception to this rule. Hence it may not be an overstatement if it is

stated that without adequate financial support, some of these causes may

also “die off”.

 

As believing and practicing srivaishnavas, how do we ensure that these

causes are sustained without excessive dependence on only a few contributors

for these causes, or slip into a hopeless situation fully acknowledging our

inability to support what we fully believe in.

 

There is a view which believes that it would be against the principle of

saranagati if we were to elude ourselves that “WE CAN DO THINGS”, when the

ultimate sutradhari is “SrimanNarayana”. I have also listened to a counter

to this which says that “Ultimately all of us are instruments in His hands”.

 

I WOULD BE QUITE KEEN TO ASCERTAIN MEMBER’S RESPONSES TO THE BASIC PROBLEM

OF “HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE VARIOUS SRIVAISHNAVA CAUSES”. I will be

grateful if members can respond to this. May be we can all put our heads

together and work out a methodology.An across the board participation will

also infuse fresh thinking and possibly fresh solutions to the problem on

hand.

 

Adiyen

K.Lakshminarayan.
