Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Srimad venkata Lakshmana Yativaraya Namah. Sri rukmini Sameta Parthasarathy parabrahmane Namah. Dear Bhagavatottamas, When adiyen went to thinnanur in sept 99, he was shocked to learn that the Thirumadapalli kainkaryaparas of the temple were paid only 180 rs pm. Recently adiyen went to Kanchi and visited Perumal koil, thiruvelukkai and ThirutthaNgaa. adiyen was once again shocked to learn that the Bhattars in deepa prakasar koil are paid only 120 rs. pm by the authorities. These wages are ridiculously and humiliatingly low. Andhra is much better. there the priests are paid in the range of 1500-3000 rs pm. when will we get good days?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Dear Bhaktas, This pitiable condition of our archakas and others who do kainkaryam to Perumal is a result of the orientation of the SriVaishnava community at large wherein such "professions" are generally looked down upon. We only have to look towards the West where a parish priest or a minister has great standing within his community and is greatly respected. Also having a formal organised setup does help them a great deal. Is it time for us to adopt such a formal setup?
