Divyadesha Kainkaryam Srivaishnavadharshanam

[Guest guest]

Learned Srivaishnavas, I am extremly delighted to see so many positive responses

for doing Divyadesha Kainkaryam.We have by the grace of Sriman Narayana have

visited almost all the Divyadeshams except very few.Way back in 1994 we had

visited Navathirupathi in Thirunelvelli dist and recently we had the fortune of

visiting it along with Velukkudi Krishnan Swami. What a transformation.Bhakthas

who have seen it before renovation and after renovation only can see the

wonder.We are told all the renovation costing several crores have been spent

by Sriman Venu Srinivasan of T,V.S. group.Eventhough I would not like to equate

him with the God , definetly the great Aalwars and Acharyas along with Lord

Sriman Narayana have blessed Venu Srinivasan Swami to do this Kainkaryam.How

many crorepathys have the will and desire to do this kind of noble

kainkaryam.A number of them find it convenient to drop a percentage into the

hundis.Most of the temples in the Navathirupathi were in dilapetated

condtion,cant be reached, no thiruvilakku etc. Today you see a well planned

and Beautiful temples as new as it was constructed in the beginning.Every

aspect of the temple have been minutely examined and work carried out in a

professional way the hall mark of T.V.S. group.The story does not end here.Sorry

the facts do not end here, Sriman Venu has also agreed to take care of the

daily expenses thro year after year.Proper Bhattacharyas .Madapalli Kainkarya

person and Adhyaphakas have all been retained by them and all their needs have

been taken care of.One other aspect which impressed us was the strict

discipline enforced for the conduct of the rituals.The biggest and brightess

stone of his Kreetam is his philosophy of continuing with the Sampradayam

of the temples and when he can spend crores and crores of rupees a spark can

appear in his mind regarding the sampradayams.Such a great person he is , he

ensured even a small pillar retained the original markings of the

sampradaya.Today I could see people like Sriman Venu have cast a solid

foundation and a strong bridge for connecting the Sampradayas respecting

each others Values.Let this clan increase manifold.

The pupose of writing this is,my dear Bhagthas,it would not be suffice to

donate.A great job has to be done for the renovation and for proper maintenance

thereafter.One in respect of the temple buliding part and other important aspect

is with regard to conduct of the rituals.It has to be a ongoing process and

not one time donation or excercise.

May I again plead with you all for the formation of committes in each location

of the temple for ensuring the rituals are conducted without any dilution or

from interference from any quarters.To day the Govt by taking over the

adminstration has interfered fully and wholly on the conduct of the rituals

and all of us are remaining as silent spectators.A good news from Srirangam.

SriVaishnava Sri Krishnamachari Swami of Srirangam has called upon all the

bhagavathas to join in the committe to protect the Sampradaya of

Srirangam Temple.

Let me give you the latest on the progress on action plan for

SrivaishnavaDharshanam. In about 15 days time there will be brain storming

session by a group of 50 followed by a seminar by the end of Aug were we

expect about 1000 to participate.

Jaya Sriman Narayana

Sri Mudaliyandan swami shisya Sampaths.

Dear Bhakti Group Members:

 

I was delighted to read Shri Sampathkumar's (Shri Mudliandan Sampath)article

on Divyadesha Kaimkaryam. He wrote:

Adiyen's comment:

 

Venu Swami's magnanimity is truly admirable. It should be noted that both

sampradayams belong to the Shri Ramanuja Darshanam. Is it not time to

reciprocate Venu Swamin's magnanimity by accommodating both Sri Vaishnava

Sampradayams in our divya-deshams. Should we not work towards that goal.
