Service at Divya Shetrams after Retirement

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamins,

My observations of elderly Srivaishnavas settling down closer to Divya Shetrams

instead of looking for Homes for seniors or joinig their wards abraod confirms

by the appeal from Arvinda Gopalan swami, the need to perform physical

kainkaryam, rather than contributing donations.

Excuse me for harping on my appeal once again.

Jai Ramanuja,

I agree with Narasimhachariar swami.We have left our divyadesams

around 50 years ago for earning the livelihood which has lead to

the present sorry state of the divyadesams.Atleast after

retirement we should return to our divyadesams for vachika or

sharirik kainkaryam.The funds from abroad will also strengthen the

divya desams' financial status.
