ThridhaNda SamarpaNam at Sri PerumbhUthUr:Addiitonal details

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs:

 

The TridhaNDam presented is indeed gold leaf clad

AbharaNam . Eight pavuns (soverigns ) were used to beat

them into thin leaves to cover the Copper Base as recommended by

the knowledgable people to avoid corrosion .Silver

base was ruled out for blackening of Silver thru micro

ruptures.

 

To avoid access of water during usage ( thru micro crevices

arising from imperfect bonding of the gold leaves , a final coat of

Gold was given , which is what one sees from the outside in terms of

smoothness. I can understand the opportunity for confusion here .

 

It is only proper that the ancient ThridhaNDam is used daily

by Moolavar presented by PoorvAchAryAs. I wa ssurprised to hear

that this new simple Gold-clad with a coating of Gold over on

a copper base was described to us as being a replacement

for day to day affairs. This is then incorrect information

given to us.

 

In summary, the SamarpaNam is done and Our Parama dayALu,

AchArya RaamAnujA has accepted it on the AavaNi ThiruvAdhirai day .

That is the most important event and our BhAgyam .

 

AdiyEn thanks all the BhagavathAs , who took part in

this important once-in-a -life time event,
