Disassembly of adiyEn's Personal Library of Books and tapes for Fund raising for Sri RanganAtha Temple SamprOkshaNam

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

We recite every day Slokams from NyAsa Dasakam

of Swamy Desikan . Through one of the slokams ,

the far seeing AchAryan advised us how to treat

our personal property , belongings , when it comes to

kaimakryam for Dhivya dampathis. He was addressing

his SaraNAgathi appeal to Lord VaradarAjA of

Kaanchi , the PEraruLaLap PerumAL , the Boon-granting

Varadhan. That slOkam from NyAsa dasakam is:

 

" Maam MadhIyam cha Nikilam ChEthanAchEthanAthmakam

Sva-KaimkaryOpakaraNam Varadha Sveekuru Svayam "

SEVENTH SLOKAM OF NYASA DASAKAM

 

(Meaning according to Dr.V.N.VedAntha Desikan ):

 

Oh LORD VARADARAJA ! PLEASE ACEPT FOR YOUR SERVICE

AND UTILIZE ALL-- ME , MINE , WHETHER SENTIENT OR

NOT, RELATIVES AND DESCENDANTS ,--IN A WAY FIT FOR

YOUR SERVICE .YOU DO IT YOURSELF . I HAVE NOTHING

MORE TO DO ,NOT EVEN TO PLACE THEM AT YOUR DISPOSAL--

BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY YOURS.

 

adiyEn replaces the name of Sri RanganAthan for

Sri VaradarAjan in this context of the forthcoMing

MahA SamprOkshaNa Uthsavam at the Pomona temple

from May 23-27 .We have less than a Month left

to raise the funds needed (1)to cover the expenses

incurred already and (2)to have the Funds needed

in hand for the celebration of the MahOthsavam in

the Vedhic and Aagamic manner appropriate for

this Occasion. Few BhaagavathAs have come forward

to cover the expenses for ThuLasi, Pushpam ,

Veda PaarAyaNam , Anna DhAnam . The major remaining

items are Sanndhai prathishtai , Homams , Kalasa

SamPrOkshanams and other major items from the monetary

stand point of view.

 

adiyEn would like to place at your disposal

the rare books and tapes FROM MY PERSONAL LIBRARY

that you could acquire and deflect the proceeds from

such " sales " to the RanganAthA SeVA samithi DIRECTLY

to cover its current obligations and anticipated expenses .

Here are selected items that you may wish to consider

acquiring for your library . I will resist the temptation

to put a prize on each of them since adiyEn would like you

to be as generous as possible with your support:

Desams " . There are two tapes in each set and

they have exquisite singing of selected Paasurams

of each AzhwAr by VidvAns and contain narrations of

the lives of AzhwArs and the Dhivya Desams that

they sung about.You are welcome to reserve them

for your Families.The Multimedia tapes will be

address. Contributions like the SamarpaNam of

Sannidhi at the Temple is an exemplary model of support.

Many Sannidhis need to be supported in a similar

manner.Enormous expenditures have been incurred

in bringing authentic VaidhikAs and Aagamic experts

from India. There are specific rites to be attended to

for 45 days after SamprOkshaNam at all the Sannidhis.
