Thuppul needs help !!!

[Guest guest]

Swamy Deshikan Thiruvadigale Sharanam !!!

 

It is not exagerating if one might say that Swamy Deshikan is one without

whom the philosophy of Ramanuja could not even be imagined in its present

form today. It is but proper that his disciples adore him more than their

chosen deities. Thuppul a divya desam with the presiding deity Lord

Deepaprakasha has the unique distinction of being the birth place of Swamy

Deshikan. During adiyEn's recent visit to Kanchipuram it was very pleasing

to learn from Dr. Tatacharya that Thuppul still follows the same traditions

present right from the times of Deshika, but the sad part came in when swamy

said that " Deshika out of his own accord and as per the shastras decided to

live on unchavritti (begging for alms) during his vibhavam (stay on Earth).

But due to sheer lack of funds and resources even this tradition is almost

seen in Thuppul in his archai (idol form) " .

The nityaradhanam (daily worship) has suffered a lot due to lack of

funds.and also the persons who are involved in daily poojas, are facing

problems in eking out their livelihood.

 

Swamy Deshikan in his Rahasya-Traya-Saaram quotes from Ramanuja's work

saying that one of the duties of the Srivaishnava is to support kainkaryams

at the temple.

 

In order to support the nityaradhanam at this temple, a trust has been

formed. The objective is to collect funds from devotees and invest in

approved securities and the interest to be utilised for temple

nityaradhanam.

 

A devotee can choose any day and that day's aradhanam shall be performed in

the name of the donor or whoever he would wish to nominate like his

acharyas, parents etc.

The amount to be sent for a day's aradhanam is Rs 1500/- (app 30$). This is

a life time investment and everyyear on the mentioned day aradhanam will be

performed in the donor's name. Plans are also at present being made to send

prasadams to the donors.

 

Bhagavathas who are interested in sponsoring one day's aradhanam, kindly

write to me and I shall send the form. Please fill up the form and send the

cash/DD directly to the trust. The donations are tax deductible.

 

Help preserve the greatest abode of our acharya Swamy Deshikan, where he

still lives in vibhavam (as said by Dr. Tatacharya).

If today anybody is proud to be a follower of Srisampradayam, it is only due

to the great efforts of Swamy Deshika.

 

In service of Swamy Deshikan

Please help.

 

adiyEn shall post a repeater every two weeks.
