Dear Sri Raja Krishnaswamy :

 

Sri U.Ve. Perukkaranai ChakravathyAcchAr Swamy

is a giant oak with roots deep in the Sri Matam

sampradhaayam and a living legend as a great

scholar with links to four revered Jeeyars of

Ahobila matam ( HH 42nd to 45th Jeeyars) .

 

It will be a privelege foradiyEn to support this project

in the context of the other laudable efforts to bring out

the great commentaries of AchAryAs and Scholars

for the benefit of us all , who do not have the traditional

KaalakshEpam route available to us as faraway residents

of USA and other sites away from our AchAryALs.

The plans to reprint and release Abhinava Desikan ,

Sri UtthamUr Swamy's granthams is a very major effort

that is underway in this context .

 

It will be helpful if Srimathi Nagu Satyan could

transmit these funds as Tax free donations.

 

AdiyEn would also like to make an important appeal

for the consideration of our Sri Viashnava groups .

When we make these pledges to support such kaimkaryams ,

it would be immensely helpful to prakrutham AchAryAs

of one's own AchArya paramparais were to receive an AchArya

SambhAvanai in the spirit of thankfulness to the illustrious

blessings that they have conferred on us out for their KaaruNyam .

 

From here on , AdiyEn would like to pledge to match dollar

for dollar any pledge that adiyEn makes for causes like this one

to adiyEn's own AchAryan for use in kaimkaryams close

to His ThiruvuLLam . This pledge of mine is made public NOT to

put the spotlight on adiyEn , but to appeal to you

to support kaimkaryams related to your own AchAryAls

in the overall context of support for other laudable

Kaimkaryams of your choice . This way , we will

have the double benefit of supporting a kaimkaryam

of our choice and at the same time support our

AchAryALs . Some cases , both will converge.

 

AdiyEn has made four pledges in the past few days:

(1) ThoLukkiniyAn for Thuppul PiLLai on behalf of

the Thuppul Trust (2) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's granthams

release (3)The pledge for HH Poundarikapuram Asramam

RohiNi celebrations for the Month of Kaarthikai (December 11)

in the context of His sathAbhishEka MahOthsavam

celebrations in the presence of Four great prakrutham

AchAryAs in March 2001 and ((4) Sri BhAshyam commentary

release announced today by Sri Raja KrishNaswamy .

 

AdiyEn has set side these matching funds($460) to transmit

to my revered AchAryan and humbly appeal to you all to

consider full or partial matching support dollars for our

AchAryALs , who face a lot of difficulties in meeting

the day to day expenses of running their matams and carrying

on their hoary traditions in the most sampradhAyic manner .

Our eternal gratitude should always be to them .In this

context , adiyEn has to accept the fact that adiyen can not

support an appeal unles adiyEn can provide the concomitant

matching funds to adiyEn's own AchAryan.
