Divyadesam Maintenance

[Guest guest]

Shriman Narayana Devotees, I think we have spent enough time on discussion through net. It is time we decide on Action Plan. I have the following suggestions: 1. To start with invite Divyadesam and other similar groups to come under one single forum by sending their Name, Address with PIN code, Email Id, Contact Phone/Cell Numbers. 2. These people will be grouped Area wise for better co ordination and action. 3. Someone from US/CANADA to organise fund raising compaign by inserting requests over net and emailing to all Indians living there, coordinate collect funds and transfer to India, 4. Someone from Australia and Neziland to do as above. 5. Someone from UK to do as above. 6. Someone from Gulf and west Asian countries to do as above. 7. Someone from Singapore to organise

as above in the East Asian countries. 8. Cluster wise committies in Divyadesam Areas - at Kanchipuram,Thirunangur, Srirangam, Kumbakonam, Mayavaram, Madurai, Srivaikundam, Sivaganga.- For identifying interested persons for Service, fund collection, identifying priority-wiseneeds of respective cluster temples. Also for identifying leading Businessmen, Industrialists Charitable Endowment Institutions and Rich men for fund Raising. 9. Central Co ordinating commitee at Chennai to organise and Run the show on dedicated and selfless service. I have written the above just to begin the activities. Further actions to be decided by various committees to be formed. Any other Action

Plan/Suggestions may please be communicated to all Divyadesam members. Come, let us ACT FAST S RAJAGOPALAN

Dear Sri Rajagopalan swamin & All the Bhaagavathaas,

 

Your ideas are excellent. Following is my humble

suggestion on this gigantic task of rebuilding the

Divya Desam temples.

 

1. A TRUST should be formed with a person like you as

the Managing Trustee.

2. Sri. Soundarajan Desikan who has done yeoman

service to Srivaishnavism and also to the society

should be persuaded to join or to head this TRUST. In

such a case yourself can be the Secretary.

3. The Trust should open a bank account in a

Nationalized bank. The bank should accept the amounts

in to the account from wherever it is deposited.

Nowadays with all the Major banks having SWIFT-codes

etc. money transfer from anywhere should not be a

problem.

4. Then any person who pays Rs.10000/- (may be in some

15-20 installments) should be treated as a MEMBER.

Members after paying this amount can continue to

contribute their might on a monthly or yearly basis.

5. One person to be identified from such membership

from each city, country as the co-ordinator. It will

be the job of such a co-ordinator to keep the list of

the members etc., from his area and also to follow up.

6. ANY INDIAN CAN contribute any amount from Rs.1 to

any amount, to this noble cause - should be the

message, we should spread.

7. A separate web site is to be created to keep the

information regarding the happenings of the trust and

the activities of the trust.

 

I am also a retired person from Bangalore. I worked in

an MC in various capacities. If I am useful in any

capacity, to the this or any other similar cause, I

shall deem it as my bhaagyam.

 

If I have exceeded anywhere kindly pardon me. It is

the enthusiasm to the cause which made me to write

this.

 

OM Nam Maryanna

I will get them printed and arrange for their installation. To startwith you may take up for the three divyadesams for which works are on hand. The digital sign Board should have 1.Vadagalai/Thengalai Thiruman and Shrisuranam along with Sangu and Chakra (as relevant to the divyadesam) 2.Name and serial number of Divyadesam 3. Image of the presiding diety 4. Name(s) of Alwars who sung Mangalasasanam I am sure Dr Sadagopan will guide us for any other

All this is great initiative and effort. But I am afraid, these are only stop-gap measures. What can we do to force the athiest Tamil Nadu government and the TTD to use the funds it harvests from temples (The Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious Endowments Dept) to maintain needy temples of antiquity? I am concerned that any money raised thorugh this process will end up in DMK pockets over time.http://www.hrce.tn.nic.in/"The management and control of the temples and administration of their endowment has been recognized as one of the primary responsibilities of the State. A number of measures have been undertaken prior to the year 1925 for efficient control and supervision of the administration of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments.

 

 

In Act 1 of 1925, the Government constituted the Hindu Religious and Charitable

Endowments Board consisting of a President and two to four Commissioners nominated by the Government to function as a statutory body. Subsequently Act 1 of 1925 was repealed by the Act 2 of 1927, which was followed by several modifications up to 1951. In order to streamline the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Board, a Special Officer (Thiru. R.V. Krishna Iyer ) was appointed in the year 1940.

 

 

The Special Officer recommended that the Government may administer the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments instead of the Board. The non-official committee appointed in the year 1942 under the Chairmanship of Thiru. P. Venkataramana Rao Naidu, a Retired Judge of High Court of Judicature, Madras recommended among other things that it would be advantageous to convert Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Board into a Government administration. Accepting the above recommendation, the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1951 was enacted provincialising the administration of the Hindu Religious Institutions. Comprehensive amendments have been made to this Act and Tamilnadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act XXII of 1959 came into force with effect from 1st January 1960.

ii) With a view to oversee the administration of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments in a proper manner, it was decided in the year 1991, that Religious and spiritual leaders should be involved in the proper maintenance and administration of Hindu and Jain Temples and Charitable Endowments and that their suggestions and guidance should be obtained regarding the administration of Charitable Endowments. Accordingly, many amendments were brought to the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959.

iii) As a result of this, the Amendment Act, 1991 (Amended Act 46/91) was enacted. As per the Amendment Act, a two-tier system (i.e.) Temple Administration Board at State level and District Committees at District level was established. This Amendment Act came into force on 13-12-1991.

iv) The Government which came to power during 1996, disbanded the Temple Administration Board and District Committees and entrusted the administration of Hindu Religious Institutions with the Commissioner and the Subordinate Officers so as to make it as it existed prior to the Amendment Act, 1991 and enacted Amendment Act, 1996 (Tamil Nadu Amended Act 39/1996). This Act is in force since 9-12-1996."Genghis , "M. S. SRINIVASA PRASAD" <msspbipl wrote:>> Dear Sri U.Ve.

Hello your concern is meaningful. However, we have to wait for good time to come. In the meantime, kainkaryams aiming at the following are attempted for which nobody will resist. Further kainkaryams are aimed in divyadesams with a poor maintenance record and neglected by even by the locals. 1.Cleaning of Temple premises. 2.Temple Garden 3. Ensuring the opening of temples regularly and Pujas performed 4. Uninterrupted sevas for the sevarthis who visit these temples from far and near. 5. Better living conditions for Bhattars and other temple staff etc. These are attempted with small contributions. The accounts will be very transparent. Hence Please support such noble causes. Any adverse

comment will dampen the spirits of those people who are committed for this noble cause.

Now that's room service! Choose from over 150,000 hotels in 45,000 destinations on Travel to find your fit.

Dear Sriman Vardhan :

 

It is good to hear from you .

There is no intent in changing any past

practises . There is so much work to do

if we want to protect our treasures . Please join

in the activiites of the informal

committee that is being formed

as abhimAnis of these dhivya dEsams .

Our effort is to supplant ongoing kaimkaryams

where there is a gap . That is all ! We want

every one to be there pulling this ratham .

 

We will all be sensitive to sensibilities and

and focus only on Kaimkaryams , where is

badly needed . We have to worry about the government

intent on ignoring these ancient temples and impose their

will and undermining nithyArAdhanam in the traditional

way .

All Concerned and to Mr Rajagopal

 

This refers to the message posted in Divyadesam

 

Efforts of various persons in protecting the divyadesams is a welcome move

 

This needs encouragement and support

 

But it is the responsibility of all concerned to protect the past traditions and not change the customs and practices.

 

No one has the right to change past practices

 

Hence the tiruman kappu as prevailing in the respective divyadesam as of now -only should be displayed and not both vadagalai and thengali as suggested.

People, why do we want to reinvent a website. A few months ago, I found this excellent website which gives descriptions, photos, appropriate prabandhams in script and sound, and travel directions to all 106 divya desams on this planet:http://srivaishnavam.com/divyadesam108/index.htmlIt seems that the website keeper, Vangipuram Venkat, is a sishyan of the the Ahobila Mutt. The only place on the website he has displayed a vadagalai thiruman is on page where he present the prabandhams in script (downladable Word docs actually). On this page he also displays Udayavar with a thenkalai thiruman and desikan.I think we should work with Venkat and find ways to improve it - eg, add a tab on maintenance issues, addressing DK politics specific to a temple ( like Srirangam), dealing with a few biased smartha attacks on specific temples like jayendra's attacks, etc.Most importantly, I am interested in the history of each temple - who built it, why (both real and puranic reasons), when, who improved it, origin of any specific customs, who visited it, like Udayavar and when, etc. I would love to find a way to integrate this information with existing info.Genghis , "Dr. Sadagopan" <yennappan wrote:>> SrI:> > Dear Sriman Vardhan :> > It is good to hear from you .> There is no intent in changing any past> practises .
