Appeal

[Guest guest]

Dear Devout Madhvas,

 

This is an appeal on behalf of Shri Madhava Tirtha

Matha, near Kolar. I request all devout madhvas to

please contribute in their own way and get the

blessings of Sri Veera Rama Devaru and Shri Anjaneya.

 

Shri Madhava Tirtha Matha is the institution of Shri

Madhava Tirtha, one of the 4 direct disciples of Shri

Madhvacharya. Today, this institution is in need of

financial help for its existance and also development

activities that would help this institution get out of

trouble. The Matha has been gifted with land in

Bangalore, where an 8 Feet tall statue of Lord

Venkateshwara has been installed along with the

brindavanas of reverred gurus-Madhava Tirtharu,

Sripadarajaru, Vadirajaru and Rayaru. The building

is still under construction at a very slow pace for

want of funds. The mutt is organizing Madhva Navami

in the middle of February on a grand scale to raise

funds for the same. A Brihuti Vishnu Homa is being

organized on the occasion and 32 scholars will be

honoured. 108 copper Kalashas are being installed

for the Abhisheka on Madhva Navami. Madhvas are

invited to participate by paying Rs.1008 towards a

Kalasa. Silver Kalasa will cost Rs.10008. The

matha estimates to collect around Rs.11 Lacs from this

event and the total expenditure for this event is

likely to be around 2.5 Lacs. The balance money would

be used for the construcion of the Matha building in

Bangalore.

 

The junior swamiji of this matha, Shri Vidya Sagara

Madhava Tirtharu is a scholar par excellence. He was

serving as the principal of Shri Gurusarvabouma

Vidyapeetha prior to taking up Sanyasa Ashrama. He

is rendering unparallel services in his endeavour to

propagate Madhva philosophy and also towards raising

funds for his matha. He is delivering a series of

lectures on Madhva philosophy in Telugu, Kannada and

English across the country. He will be in Bangalore

from the 12th to 16th of February 2005 in this

connection and will be residing at Raghavendra Swamy

Matha at Vidyamanya Nagara near Peenya.

 

I request all of you to please contact him directly or

get in touch with the matha at its headquarters in

Tambihalli near Kolar. 08152-232709.

 

Warm Regards.
