Dear folks,

 

Yes.. it will be really nice to have a list (need not be too

comprehensive) in the web-page about the

names, addresses and preferably the contact persons of all possible

Madhva Matha's which are

looking for financial support. Popular places like Mantralaya, Swadhi

and Mulbagal do get large

contributions on a day-to-day basis because they have been recognised as

a sacred spot for a long

time. I guess there are many more places which have implemented

traditional Gurukula parampara,

and free Nitya AnnaDana schemes and need financial support. We as a

growing organiation here

could collectively send a VMS contribution cheque once in three - four

months (depending upn the

circumstances) to each Matha on a regular basis.

Shri. Krishnarpanamasthu.

 

Regards

Sudhir.

Dear Gopal,

Thanks for sharing your experiences in helping with mAdhva causes.

One of the purposes of the VMS is to facilitate such efforts by sharing and

communicating relevant information. You are helping in this regard. Please

share the address information on this list.

 

One of the main points that was emphasized in the discussion at the

VMS meeting was that, we all can do that. It does not have to take a lot

of money to do those sort of things but still we can make a difference to

the particular causes. There are small mAdhva maThas, institutions that

teach traditional sanskrit learning that do not

have a solid financial support base. We can help in those kinds of causes.

I request list members especially those in India to collect information

about maThas and other valid causes and share it on this list. Later we can

think about organizing that information and publishing on the VMS web page.

 

VMS is trying to obtain tax-free status so that more formal

fund-raising efforts can be organized if necessary in the future. But the

things we are talking about here are small efforts that can be done by

individuals on their own.

 

Another thing that I want to emphasise is that we are actually helping

ourselves by helping these causes. Whatever we give towards these causes is

multiplied many many times and returned back to us either in this life or

in the future. It also accelarates our spiritual sadhana. One can very

easily verify this.

Whosoever even atempts at meditation upon the feet of shri Hari, his entire

sin gets destroyed immediately and surely. The supreme state of final

emancipation will certainly come to him who meditates (upon the feet of

shri Hari).therefore why is that (worthy means) relinquished ?
