Dear Devotees,

Sri Ranganatha Temple construction is 99 % complete

and we are just waiting for the certificate of occupancy,

to open this great, one of its kind, Sannithi to the

public. I request you all to visit the Temple personally

after the temple opens officially to the public and

if not, at least the web-site at www.ranganatha.org.

Here, you can see the great Pranavakara Vimana, the

magnificent Moolavar, and some of the captivating

Divya Mangala Vigrahas of the Utsava Murtys.

 

We requested all bhakthas of Sri Ranganatha to come

and participate in the religious kainkaryams at the

Temple and all of them responded with great enthusiasm.

With all this encouragement, we are planning to do the

Mahasamproksanam either around May 28th or July 4th of

2001. We are just waiting to hear Bhagavat Samkalpam

through our great Acharyas.

 

This great sannithi is built with the only mission

of propagating " Absolute surrender to Srimannarayana

is the surest way to salvation " . This great project

was made possible, with the untiring efforts of so

many devotees who have given their time, services,

suggestions, financial support and most important,

offering their own souls at the feet of Srimannarayana.

We are very grateful to you all, for your unflinching

faith and patience for the past 12 years.

 

" May the Divya Dampatis bless us all with Health,

wealth, Happiness and Nitya kainkaryam. "

 

Finally, as you all know, after the completion of

work, final bills start pouring in and we have to

make all the payments, at short notice. Right now,

we have bills worth around $200,000= that need

urgent attention. The temple can open its doors

for the public only after we raise this amount.

 

May I appeal to you all to help us raise the needed

funds. Please consider a donation, or a loan, with

or without interest. Please get in touch with one

of the board members (names and phone numbers are

available at http://www.ranganatha.org/board.html).

Or, please call me at 304-424-6405 (weekday evening)

or at 845-627-6716 (weekend). We need your help now.

 

Donations may be made out to Sri Ranganatha Seva

Samithi and mail to:

Thanking you,

Yours, in the service of the Divya Dampatis,
