Dhivya Desams : Support to maiantain Daily AarAdhanam , NaivEdhyam and Vasthram , ViLakku and ArhcakAs

[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

It is moving to see the enthusiasm and devotion of

many of you wanting to participate in this laudable Kaimakryam

to maintain our ancient treasures , enjoy them and protect them

to pass it on to the successive generations .

 

It is most gratifying to learn that you are prepared to set aside

a small contribution from your earnings per month to help maintain

nithyArAdhanam at temples that are experiencing dificulties .

 

Number of bhakthAs involved with or having experience in administering

such Kiamkaryams have sent in their inputs at a cautionary level to make

sure that these well meant outpourings of Bhakthi reach the targets and

not grabbed by greedy ones at the local level .We can tell you a lot of

horror stories even at temples like Thirumala .

 

Time and again ground level supervision , control are needed

to have accountability . Otherwise , it will be a disappointment .

It is a sacred responsibility to recieve and manage these funds

from dedicated AasthikAs .

 

I have some suggestions to offer for you all to consider :

 

1. Identify a religious minded person in India , who is just retired ,

has the time , energy and enthusiasm to serve as the eyes and arms

to direct and manage the priorotized distributions to the most needy Temples

which do not have steady AarAdhanam , Food offerings , Lighting , Vasthram etc.

It is not difficult to identify such dhivya dEsams based on the ongoing field work

of groups like those of Sri Venkat of Dubai & Vedics.net .

 

I will help here and be happy to recieve your recommendations.

 

2. Form a committee of experienced people from overseas

and India , who have been involved with such Kaimkaryams .

Sriman Anbil Swamy , Sri Urupattur Soundra Rajan Desikan Swamy

of Thiruvaheendhrapuram , Sri Venkat Ramadhurai , Sriman IVK Chary

of Kuwait , Sri Swamynathan of UAR (Dubai) , SrI KrishNan Cidambi of

Bangalore , Sri Mukund Srinivasan of Singapore are a few who come to my mind.

 

3. identify A list of Young and willing volunteers to supervise the work , visit the identified

temples in coordination with the officals of the Institution already active in the fields .

Bring them on board . Sriman A.Balaji , Sri Manoram Chaitanya Das and others

come to my mind . People can be requested to volunteer .

 

4. We will focus only on the needy temples and not the rich ones

( Thiruvenkatam , Oppiliappan Sannidhi , Srirangam , ThirumOhur ,

Thiruvaheendhrapuram , Koodalazhagar , Kerala Temples ( for different reasons ) ,

Vada Naadu Temples , and a few others .

 

All of these are just some suggestions .

 

In summary , this Kaimkaryam can be done but would need time and patience as well

as genuine commitment . Let us exchange some more information to make

necessary advances .There is enough work to do for number of groups

without stepping on each other's toes .

Dear Sriman Varadachari :

 

I am saddened to hear the problems at the Famous temple of

ThirukkaNNapuram , which recieved so many Paasurams from

Thirumangai . The audacity and insensitivity of the Government

in administerign their sworn duties is abominable .

 

Inputs like yours would help to priorotize the needy dhivya dEsams

by the committe once it gets established .

Re: Dhivya Desams : Support to maiantain Daily AarAdhanam , NaivEdhyam and Vasthram , ViLakku and ArhcakAs

Dear Sir,I am extremely happy to know that some thing tangible is emerging from the efforts of the members of the group to maintain daily aradhanam, naivedyam etc. A few months back I had gone to Thirukkannapuram and stayed there overnight. I was talking to some of the temple staff like Bhattacharar, Paricharakar and Nadaswara vidwans and others working the temple and I was in tears when I come to know that they have not been paid their salary for the past 10 months. Their salary is hardly Rs.750 to Rs.1000/ per month. If the conditions of the staff working in such a big temple would be like this, we need not imagine the conditions of the staff working in villages and in small temples. I prayed to the Lord that some body must come forward to do some things to help these people. I am extremely to know that the prayers of so many like me are being answered by the Lord.in such a short time. I am a retired official from a Bank and settled down in Chennai. I am willing to offer my services in this regard if called upon.With warm regards.Yours sincerely,V.Seshadri"Dr. Sadagopan" <yennappan wrote:

Dear Sirs, Recently, a devotee approached adiyen and conveyed the following message: 1: this devotee has a Charitable Trust with reasonably good amount, and wants to remain annonymous. 2: this devotee wants to do as much financial help as possible and will take care of at least one or more Divya-Desams. 3: this devotee is looking for some land there to have a Veda-and-Prabandha-pAThasAla please. Kindly let me know, as this devotee is very much interested and wants to be part of this great kaimkaryam.
