Dear bhagavathas:

 

Once Srimad Azhagiya Singar made the following very

poignant comment about asking for funds.

 

As we all know, great scholars of sasthrAs are often

vairAgya sIlars who would not seek anything in return

for sharing their " wealth " (knowledge). This task

often fell to the " devigaL " (spouse) who traveled

with the Swami. The Swami will give the discourse

over long periods of time and the task of securing

income for sustenance would fall into the hands of

the spouse. Similarly, Srimad Azhagiya Singar says,

Sri Malolan is the Vairagya Seelar who gives his

" wealth " to bhagaathas and then stays mute. The

task of securing the needed funds for running the

Sri Sannidhi falls into the hands of Sri Malolan's

spouse, Srimad Azhagiya Singar.

 

Paraphrasing Srimad Azhagiya Singar, " like a good

wife to a maha panditA, I will protect every paisa

that the Sri Sannidhi receives and use it for the

benefit of our Sampradayam. "
