Kurichi Temple of Perundevi Nayika Sametha Sri Abheeshta Varadaraja Perumal

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

I am enclosing a note from Sri man V.Seshadri of

T.Nagar , whose family hails from the famous

village of Kurucchi , which is near Raaja MannArgudi .

 

This village near a tribituary of River Cauveri is an

ancient center of Sri VaishNavaas , who were experts in

Tarkam , VyAkaraNam , Vedam , Dhivya Prabahndham ,

Sri BhAshyam and other Sri Sookthis . Similar agrahAram

is at Naaval Paakkam , where even today the Veda Paramparai

flourishes .

 

In this utthama agrahAram of Kurucchi was a flourishing temple

for Sri PerumdEvi ThAyAr SamEtha Sri Abheeshta VaradarAjan , whose

moolava moorthy you can enjoy at the bottom of this note . After

the Vedic scholars left such villages to the cities , these villages

and their temples were neglected due to lack of archakAs , resident

Scholars and funds . Kurucchi is no exception to these trends .

Today , number of descendants of Kurucchi scholars have

rasied approximately 2 Laks of Rupees between themselves

and have performed BalAlayam . They would like to complete

a modest Sannidhi to begin with to complete the Prathishtai .

Sriman Venkat Seshadri of T.Nagar , Chennai is looking to

identify like minded aasthikAs to help inn the reconstruction of

this sannidhi at Kurucchi . Please contact him and support his

welcome efforts . His telephone number at chennai is:

2-814-4769 . He is at 14 Ashok Arpudha (new No.186) ,

Habibulla Road , Chennai 17 .

 

Thanks for your attention ,

V.Sadagopan
