AzhwArgaL thiruvadigaLE sharaNam! jay shrIla praBhupAdha! Dear Devotee Sri Rajagopalan, Your ideas are amazing. Yes. It is better that we implement your plans in every dhivya dhEshams. Also it will be better to provide the pAshurams and their translations, which were sung there. Thanks for your suggestions. I want Sri Sadagopan Anna and Sri Varachary Anna to note your points very STRONGLY and implement them. harE krShNa! - Balaji - The Servant of Devotees!

As the one who visited all the divyadesams except vadanattu thiruppathigal, I offer few humble suggestions for the considerations of all those sacred and noble souls who are presently engaged in this venture: We need to give facelift to the divyadesams to attract more and more Bhakthas. 1. For this involvement of locals is essential. 2. All the temple exteriors have to be whitewashed and painted with Thiruman and Srisuranam. 3. Digital sign boards depiciting the following has to be kept in vantage points. Name of the Divyadesam along with its number, Name of presiding Diety, Alwars name and No. of Mangalasasanams sung, Other sannathis available etc. These signbaoards have to be kept at least in 3 or 4 places that is, near the nearerst Busstops in the Main Road or approach Road to the divyadesam, near the temple and two boards at the entry and exit points of the village/town where the divyadesam is situated. 4. The interiors of the temple premises have to be cleaned. Normally foul smells are smelt in some of the temples (even in famous temples). 5, Praharams should be cleaned and bushes and shrubs should be removed. Coconut trees to be planted in left side praharam and a garden with Thulasi, flowers etc in the right side. 6. Painting of Kolams in the entrance and at the sannadhis. The above works will not cost much. We can engage locals for such works and pay them. If this is done they will take pride and will co ordinate in day to day activities also. There are some exemplary divyadesams also like Annankoil. Battar of that temple may be invited to other divyadesams and explain to local Bhattars about the modalities followed by him to attract more Bhakthas. A workshop for the Bhattars in this aspect will be very much useful. As the thiruppanigal are about to be launched, I feel we may include the above also and necessary funds collected and earmarked. The additional budget will be only a little more say Rs.1,000 to 1500. I am willing to contribute Rs.1000 for each of the divyadesam for the above works. I hope I am able to convey my feelings that were lingering my mind after my visit to all 97 divyadesams in South India. S RAJAGOPALAN ..
