Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Scheme for Donating Clothes, Water, and Food to Old, Decrepit and Deserted Sumnagalis and widows, to begin with 9 yard sarees to the women and 4 cubit dhotis to pupils learning Vedas (Every Month). Venue : Kanchipuram. Day : Panguni Utthiram . Date : 25 / 03 / 2005. As Proclaimed by Sri Andal, the greatest gifts (Daanam) to give are “clothes, water and food”. The importance of clean and untorn apparel need not be stressed. All Karmas require decent and conventional dress as a precondition. If you see one languishing for the want of these, you should rush to the rescue of the unfortunate. If you cant give, get from those who can and distribute, taking the apparel only from Vishnu Bhaktas. The shastras declare that neglect in this regard or giving other things when dress is needed is an act of sin .it can be inferred that if we are prosperous and affluent some ancestor had made the above mentioned gifts it follows that to benefit our posterity we must do now. Donating new clothes during Pitru Kainkaryas is most sacred. Sastras say that being in a status to get one meal a day is well-being. If giving dhotis is not possible, give at least the sacred threads (Poonul). Make sure that the recipients deserve and are qualified Spiritually. One who gives purified clothes during sharaada will have all his desires fulfilled. In the case of women give at least a blouse bit and Mangalya thread. If such donations are made at holy places, the effect gets multiplied. Note: - Under this Scheme 400 Sumangalis were given sarees, blouse bits, flowers, fruits and turmeric during the tamil months of Aadi, Purattasi, Thai, Maasi and Panguni. In addition, during Karadayan Nombu, Mangalya Suthras offered at the holy feet of Sri Srirangam, Kanchi and Thirupathi Thayars would be distributed to Sumangalis. The Archakas from the holy cities will give these Mangalya Suthras- 13,000 Sumangalis have so far been benefited, 2340 pupils were benefited, 350 Kanyatsrees have been given Blouse bits, we request all those who read these should take part in this Kainkarya, and help in a Big Way. Every Friday at the sannadhis of Malayala Nachiar, Kumdavalli Nachiar, Sri Andal, Swami Thatha Desika’s Consort Ammangaru and Alwars and Acharyas Clothes to be invested.
