RE: [BOT] SrImath Azhagiya Singar's PaadhukA JeerNotthAraNa Kaimkaryam : Part II

[Guest guest]

Dear God-brothers and God-sisters,

It is a rare opportunity and bhagyam to be of service to the mahatmas and

more so to our present and poorvaacharyas.

I request sri Sadagopan to kindly take up this project as another kaimkaryam

on behalf of Sri Ranganatha Temple and I will do everything possible to get

as many sponsors as possible.

>From my side, personally, I assure you all and Sri Sadagopan that you can

command and I will do whatever is needed to complete this project on behalf

of our Sri Ranganatha Temple, be it individual sponsorship, collection,

shouldering whatever responsibility assigned, whatever shortfall and

whatever you all deem to be fit to complete this mahat-kaimkaryam.

Srimat Azhagiyasiongar Thiruvadigale Saranam.

adiyen,

Venkat Kanumalla.
