Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 - mukrupa Oppiliappan Thursday, March 16, 2006 7:07 AM Medavakkam Divyadampathi SrI:Dear Bob,Nice to know you from SrI. V.Sadagopan svami of Newyork, and yourservices being rendered to SrI venkateshwara perumal temple (Arora?).http://www.pbase.com/svami/image/57240692A few months back when SrI. Sridhar sent this collection of rarepictures, aDiyEn raised the same doubt. He checked this with SrI.M.N.Srinivasan (who has access to many temples, and is a writer ontemples), who inturn confirmed that this divyadampathi is SriLakshmihayagrIva. There might be some reasons for this!As this is an interesting question, let us pose this to the residentsof Medavakkam (or Chennai), or those who visited this temple.Thanks a lot!Have a nice day!dAsanMukundOppiliappan, "Robert Evans"<evans.robert.d wrote:>> Friends,> I have a question about Medavakam Perumal Koil Hayagreeva that has> been featured in the gallary of beautiful pictures provided by SrI.> L.Sridhar.
