SrI Ahobila kshetra virtual tour and comments on the proposed Rope way

[Guest guest]

 

 

 

 

SrI:Dear Nrusimha BhaktAs :

 

It is wonderful to read about the spirited responses to the Rope way construction Kaimkaryam proposal by a devotee to help the elderly to access this dhivya desam's Nava Narasimhar Sannidhis in the hills of Ahobilam . The problems with this kaimkaryam have been well debated .Concerns about mass tourism to this sacred area have been clearly articulated . As the dharma karthA/NirvAhakar of these shrines , Srimad Azhagiya Singar has the last say on the need for any such kaimkaryams . With great care for the needs of the many visitors of the sacred hills of Ahobilam , the current Jeeyar

has completed many initiatives sofar .

 

There are many kaimkaryams initiated and completed by the current Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam , Sri Narayana Yatheendhra MahA Desikan to make it easier for devotees to access the difficult terrain of Ahobilam to worship at the Nava Narasimhar Temples . There are number of ongoing Kaimakryams at Ahobilam to enhance the comfort of

sevaarthees and maintain the sanctity of these shrines about which Thirumangai AzhwAr performed His MangalAsAsanam . AzhwAr's wonderous anubhavam is covered in a special ebook that the Ahobilavalli group released recently :

 

http://www.ahobilavalli.org

 

It is the 50th ebook in the above series , where Thirumangai Mannan describes wonderously the beauty of the dhivya dEsam and His extraordinary anubhavam of trekking thru the virgin forests and fierce mountains , where the Lord has taken His abode .

 

Sriamth Azhagiya Singar has created a 11 acre site at a distance from PrahlAdha Varadhan sannidhi called Nava Narasimhapuram to help future SevArthees further . The first wing has just been opened . The permission from the Government and the steps to taken to assure the pristine nature of the terrain around have been hall marks of the

sensitive construction that one has to remember .

 

The Svathi committe blessed by Srimath Azhagiya Singar is organizing Thirumanjanams at all the nine sannidhis every month and helping devotees to visit the Kshetram the year around . The 125th Svathi AarAdhanam was completed last week at Ahobilam .

 

The boarding and lodging facities at Lower Ahobilam have been improved significantly . It is still a fragile system that can not accomodate tourists/devotees en masse as at Thirumala . Supply of water , overnight lodging facilities and availability of PrasAdhams are serious issues to contend with while enhancing the flow of more devotees .

In the tradition of Ahobila Matam , any one who visits are blessed with Bhagavad OrasAdhams .

 

One of the current kaimkaryams , where you can & should participate , is assuring steady year round water supply for the various sacred rites including Thitumanjanam for the Sannidhis at the Ahobilam hills. The sacred Bhavanasini river is the source and this river's flow has been dwindling over the years and Srimath Azhagiya Singar has initiated a project to bring down water from the upper ahobilam

thru granite pipes . Approximately 1200 stone units are needed at a cost of Rs.1,000 each . Devotees of Nava Narasimha can help realize this project quickly . Please contact adiyEn if you wish to join in this Kaimkaryam .

Sofar only 70 stones out of the 1200 have been pledged by

overseas SishyAs and abhimAnis of Ahobila Matam.

 

The sheer majesty and beauty of the Ahobilam hills is indescribable .The Ahobilavalli Kaimkaryam group has tried to create a virtual tour of this terrain , where the Nava Narasimhars have taken their abode and are recieving AarAdhanam from Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
