Toilets in Sriperumbuttur.

[Guest guest]

Dear SwAmin,

 

It is very good of you to have sent a detailed note of

your background and interest in the subject project.

 

I am likely to be in Chennai on a short holiday

between April 13 to April 17. If you would like to

explain your plans for the project in person to me,

you are most welcome to contact me on telephone at

2499 5758. If you have any project information in the

form of schedules, layout, preliminary designs,

concepts, etc. please do share copies of the same with

me so that I can then bring them back with me to

Kuwait to show my other sponsor-friends here and

appeal for their support.

 

Thanks and regards,

dAsan,

Sudarshan

Dear Sriman Sudarshan :

 

It is very kind of ypu to offer to meet with

Sri Manoram Chaitanyadas during your short

visit to Chennai .

 

It is my sincere hope that such a meeting will take place and

we can assist Sriman Manoram Chaitanyadas , who is highly

motivated to do the hard work of supervising on ground the construction

work . although Sri PerumbhUthUr temple has a rich set of

devotees , it is amazing that such an important project to help

the huge waves of Pilgrims, who show up on the AvathAra dinam

and the BrahmOthsavam there .

 

After that crucial meeting to sort out the problems on ground

and a plan of action is agreed upon with time tables , we will

do every thing we can to request the devotees of Bhagavath

RaamAnuja to join in and help along with local Vaishnavite

AchAryaas and overseas residents .

 

Thank you for the initiative to meet with Sri Manoram

Chaitanya Das . I would like the Chennai Iscon to be the recipient

of the funds sent from here as a one time help. If they have

real problems , we will find another way .

 

Sri RaamAnujar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,

V.Sadagopan
