Temple Assistance Project

March 12, 2009

Dear Swamin,

Thanks for your kind offer.

Yes, you can definitely help - please send all Contributions in the name of the Asramam.

A starting point is to support the SriVaishnavaite Divya Desams that are in dire need of support in the " Secularist " environments. HH has Blessed - this week - a project to support the most needy Temples W/O differentiating between Thenkalai & Vadakalai temples.

1. Gingelly Oil for Lamps in the Sannathis, ONE Measure of Rice - Thaligai - minimum per day, Rs. 1000.00 honorarium EACH to the Bhattar & the Thaligai Kainkaryam {Cook},

2. This is expected to cost Rs. 4000 per month per Divya Desam,

3. This will be a purely Voluntary effort routed through Srirangam Srimad Andavan Asramam,

4. The Asramam has HQrs in Srirangam & centers in Chennai, Kumbakonam, Oppiliappan Koil etc.,

5. So, the monthly distribution to Temples selected for this assistance will be professionally monitored based strict observance by the Bhattar & the Thaligai Kainkaryam {Cook} concerned.

6. Means that we have the manpower to organise & administer this rather difficult issue.

7. If funds are received generously from Sevarthis, then the more & more Temples will be covered under this scheme.

HH Srimad Andavan has Blessed this project. We are in the process of identifying the really weak temples and offer them assistance.
