New Sanitary Facilities at SriperumbhUthUr : Construction Completed

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear All Ramanuja BhakthAs :

 

It is my pleasure to congratulate the most welcome

and much appreciated kaimkaryam of Sri Manoram Chaitanyadas ,

Sri M.G.Vasudevan , Sri Theerthanka Chaitanyadas and other

natives of SriperumbhUthur , who toiled immensely to complete this

Kaimkaryam .

 

A much needed facilites have been completed to serve the needs of

visiting pilgrims to AchArya Ramanuja's avathAra Sthalam and

keep the puNya bhUmi clean and sanitary especially during the Uthsavams

there , when huge assembly of pilgrims gather .

 

It is one thing to build some thing in Iia but to maintain it is an entirely

different matter . It is delightful to note that care has been taken to

protect

the new facilities thru the appointment of a watchman supervised by

the staff of the SriperumbhUthUr Jeeyar .

 

We should more such kaimkaryams at popular dhivya dEsams ,

where such sanitary facilites do not exist .

 

My personal thanks to all who responded to adiyEn's appeal

and supported this project at SrierumbhUthUr . The staying power of

Sri ManorAm Chaitanya Das and his colleagues has superbly put to use

the funds raised to realize this unique facility . Our Thanks are to the

temple

authorities , who welcomed this idea and supported it .

 

NamO Sri RaamAnujAya ,

V.Sadagopan
