Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

 

Dear Devotees:

>from the US side, though due to lack of

 

Sri TCA Swamin:

adiyEn is extremely happy that you are willing to take up this from

the US side, adiyEn will call you tonight and give all the details (and the work

we have done so far)

 

If you can focus on setting up the money collection, and follow through.

adiyEN will give you the details later tonight.

 

adiyEn will move on to the next kainkariyam of setting up the 3 steps to market

the Dhivya desams.

 

In the US: One family/group per dhivya desam, and similarly one in India.

========================================================

Activities like setting up brochures, websites, tourism marketing etc is

something that families can assign to their

not-so spiritually inclined kids & relatives, as these are very attractive

projects.

 

Step1: One family (NRI) or a group of families as a Vedic Contact for 1 dhivya

desam.

This family or set does the following: (Collection, Marketing,

information etc)

1. Setup a Website with the Spiritual Information, Sannidhis,

Kainkariyams being done etc.

with the local Vedic contact information for that

temple.

Places to stay (Please see Vedic Bed and Breakfast in

the next mail)

Monies generated here also goes to the local temple.

2. Setup a Website with the touristic information (Fun activities

to do while in the Dhivya desams)

(not all family members might be 100% into temples.)

Local Vedic contact can arrange tour guides:Monies generated here

also goes to the local temple.

3. Setup Merchandise to market (Brochures on the temple with

local and US vedic contacts, how to visit etc.)

and perumal photos and tourism photos to give away at the

website as well as at various funtions.

 

Step2:

One local family or a group of families as a Vedic Contact for 1 dhivya desam.

This family or set does the following: (Send their contact details to US

Vedic team to put up the info on the web)

1. Setup Temple savai guides (To take people into the temple,

tell them in detail about the temple

(based on the time available, and make the temple visit a

pleasant one)

They get a sambhavana for this service (50% of this

monies goes to the temple funds)

2. Setup a Vedic Bed and breakfast places, and send photos,

details etc to the US contact to

put up on the Website (As to the type of rooms available,

Seperate rooms, shared rooms etc)

So visiting devaotees can call in advance and make

arrangements to stay & eat etc.

They get a sambhavana for this service (50% of this

monies goes to the temple funds)

 

FOR new devotees:

The KEY TO GETTING PEOPLE TO THE TEMPLE TOWNS IS TO GET THEM A LOCAL CONTACT

A PLACE TO STAY AND A TOUR GUIDE. (THE BETTER WE ARRANGE THEM THE BETTER THE

TEMPLE EXPERIENCE), In Exhchange the devotees will give a good sambhavana and

this helps the local

economy and the temple as well.

Recently i came across some information on a hotel/motel called

Sadhabishegam hotel situated in Vaitheeswarankovil.(Vaitheeswarankoil is

around 20 kms from sirkazhi/mayavaram)

This hotel/resort specialises on temple tourism and arranges for taemples

tours to various places which includes tour to the thirunangur temples and

also other divya desams near sirkazhi like thirukkankudi etc depending on

the choice of the traveller.This hotel apparently has good ameneties like

a/c rooms,hot water tv etc.Development of such tour packages and

facilities espaecially in small towns such as these will greatly boost

travel to the divya desams esp if good facilities are offered at

affordable prices
