Here is one such instance , where the Temple Board seeks your understanding & support before I describe this one time initiative . Here is the background: TODAY: SrI RanganAtha Temple is fortunate to be served by gifted Priests who are known for their erudition in VedAs and/or Dhvya Prabhandhams , or Tarka-MeemAmsam , SrI BhAshyam and other SrI Sookthis central to the life of Sri VaishNavAs . Some of them are known for Aagamic skills and alankAram skills . We have been blessed to have A FLOW of very talented ArchakAs to serve Lord RanganAtha . TOMORROW: Due to lack of proper priest quarters outside the temple premises , the priests are staying NOW inside cramped quarters with two priests to a room . They are unable to bring their families either because of this special space situation . Since the opening of the temple some three years ago . Other temples in this country such as the Pittsburgh and Massachusetts Temple et al have seperate priest quarters , which mkaes their professional and personal life enjoyable . We would like to build 2 Priest Quarters as a starter to help the priests and their families, which are left behind in India during their term of service . SOLUTION : The Board of Lord RanganAtha Temple has gotten permission from New York State to have a one time RAFFLE to raise the Funds of $ 150,000 for the construction of TWO RESIDENCES FOR THE PRIESTS at the temple grounds .NY State has authorized the sale of 1,500 RAFFLE TICKETS AT $ 100 EACH . THE THREE PRIZES FOR THE WINNERS ARE : ********************************************** FIRST PRIZE : BMW 300 SERIES 2005 / 4 DOOR ( 30,000 PLUS $ ) . SECOND PRIZE: 1 WEEK TIME-SHARE IN VIRGINIA BEACH , VA ( $12,000 WORTH). THIS APARTMENT IS FULLY PAID AND DEEDED FOR LIFE . THIRD PRIZE: TWO ROUND TRIP PLANE TICKETS TO INDIA ( WORTH $ 4,000). PLEASE CONTACT MYSELF OR Dr. VENKAT KANUMALLA , CHAIRMAN OF SRI RANGANATHA TEMPLE FOR PURCHASE OF THESE RAFFLE TICKETS ( $ 100 EACH ) . YOU CAN BUY AS MANY TICKETS AS YOU WISH TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING . OVERSEAS RESIDENTS ARE ALSO WELCOMED TO BUY THESE RAFFLE TICKETS . THE VALUE OF THE PRIZES WILL BE SENT TO OVERSEAS PURCHASERS IN CASE THEY WIN . THE DRAWING DATE FOR THE RAFFLE IS DEC 31 , 2004 AT 11.45 PM AT THE TEMPLE . THE WINNER NEED NOT BE PRESENT FOR THE RAFFLE DRAW ON DECEMBER 31, 2004 AT 11.45 PM .
