Restoration of Divyadesams to their original glory

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhaagavatas

 

Please see the query of Pasdmakant posted separately.

 

As the saying ghoes, " Koil illaa ooril kuDi irukka vENDaam " , there is

nothing wrong in constructing new temples. In fact, when I first came

to the US way back in the 1980s, perhaps, the only temple known was

that of Pittsburgh Sri Venkateswara Temple. Today, temples have

cropped up in almost every county (equivalent to municipality in

India) satisfying the spiritual aspirations of local communities.

 

Having said that, I agree with Padmakant and feel that instead of

engaging on constructing newer temples, our FIRST PREFERENCE should

be to devote our attention to numerous Divyadesams consecrated by

Azhwar saints but which are today languishing for funds even for

Vastram, Deepam and Neivedhyam etc not to speak of Nitya Araadhana

and Desaantri feeding in such temples.

 

In the recent past, as directed by asmad Acharyan, Srimad Andavan,

Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam, I have renovated the Dwajasthambam

with copper plating and Red Oxide coating et al, of Tiru Anbil temple

and arranged for distribution of Desaantri prasadams for devotees

visiting the temple from far off places.

 

I have already identified at least 5 or 6 such Divyadesams and posted

in the Internet groups and I am donating the entire sale proceeds of

books published by me to this noble cause.

 

Renovation of Brindavans, raising funds for routine events like

Chaturmasyams etc.which are common to Acharyas of all Mutts and

Ashramams (worthy by themselves), may be put on the backburner

AT LEAST FOR NOW UNTIL THE NEGLECTED DIVYADESAMS ARE RESTORED TO

THEIR ORIGINAL GLORY.
