Koodarai Vellum Seer Govindha Thiruppavai Paasura dinam celebrations at

[Guest guest]

Dear Sadagopan mama,

 

Can we sponsor for a silver vessel from the US in the name of our

parents residing at Chennai? If so, can they go to the matam at

Selaiyur and receive the prasadam and the vessel?

 

If so, what information should I send when I mail the check?

 

adiyen dasan,

Gokulakrishnan

Dear Sri Gokul Nedumaram :

 

You certainly can sponsor a silver Vessel (Vattil) of

AkkAra Vadisil from USA in the name of your parents

residing in India . They can attend the Uthsavam on that day and

recieve the Silver vessel from one of the KaimkaryaparaaLs

like Sri Desikan or Sri BhAshyam or Sri Taathu Swamy

at SelayUr . Your parents can introduce themselves to

Srimath Azhagiya Singar and recieve Phala mantrAkshathai

directly .

 

When you forward Your samarpaNam thru Ahobila Matam

North America ( Sri Srihari Raghavan at CA) , Please include the name of

your parents for Sri Matam records so that they can present

the Silver Vattil to your parents .

 

Thanks very much for your particpation ,

V.Sadagopan
