Sree Devadhirajan Nandavana Kainkarya Sabha

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs:

 

Sriman Diwakar Kannan has brough to our attention

the ongoing Kaimkaryam by the dear devotees of Lord

VaradharAjan to maintian an 1.75 acre nandhavanam

at VishNu Kaanchi to grow flowers and TuLasi for

the garlands to be used in the daily aarAdhanams

for the Dhivya Dampathis there .

 

Swamy NammazhwAr has instructed us to offer flowers

and TuLasi to the Lord with reverence :

 

" PERFORM WORSHIP WITH FLOWERS ,WHAT I SAY IS IMPORTANT:

THAT LORD IS YOUR PROTECTOR. REMEMBER THIS ..TVM: 9.10.4 "

 

PeriyAzhwAr , ThoNDaradippodi AzhwAr , Thirumalai

AnanthAzhwAn have engaged in such TuLasi-Pushpa

Kaimkaryams for Sriman NaarAyaNan at Srivilliputthur,

Srirangam and Thirumalai. The present plans for offering

TuLasi-Pushpa Garland Kaimkaryam to Lord VaradarAjan

has to be seen in that context.He is the Lord ,

who gave the boons of RaamAnujA , Kuresar and Swamy

Desikan to Lord RanganAthan for the growth of our

revered SampradhAyam .Every AchArya from Swamy

Alavandhar , Thirukkacchi Nampi , RaamAnujA ,

KurEsar , Swamy Desikan to MaNavALa Maamuni

have euologized Lord VaradharAjan through their

Sri Sookthis.

 

The anticipated expenses for mainitaining the flower

garden and prsenting the TuLasi-Flower garlands form

there are 4,000 Rupees /Month. The Nandhavanam

committee members plan is to raise core funds of 4 Lakhs of

rupees and then use the interst form there for the annual

expenses.

 

AdiyEn has a suggestion . We can support the first year's need

of 48,000 Rupees ( approximately $1,000) and give addiitonal

time for the Fund raisers in India to assemble the core funds

LOCALLY .

 

Contributions of 50$ each from 20 BhakthAs will help

ralize the needed $1,000 for the first year . Alternatively,

25$ each form 40 BhakthAs can lead to the same results.

We can send the funds thru a Nonprofit Foundation

Like SVSS so that the particpating bhakthAs can

have tax deductions here for their contributions.

 

AdiyEn considers it a BhAgyam to contribute

the first 50$ .AdiyEn invites you all to let me know

of your interest in offering daily TuLasi and Flower

garland samarpaNams for Lord VaradarAjan and PerumdEvi

ThAyAr at their sannidhis in PerumAL Koil .

 

AdiyEn will use this occasion to compile an ashtOtthara

Satha NaamAvaLi archanA for Lord VaradarAjan using

the sacred passages (KalyANi Vaak) from the auspicious

Sri Sookthis of KurEsar and Swamy Desikan ( Sri VaradarAja

Sthavam and Sri VaradarAja PanchAsath) and join these special

postings to the ongoing series on salutation to

the Lord of Kaanchipuram .
