Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.

Perhaps the deliberations would also include "what after fund raising and re-constructing the temple". The problem is common for many agraharams as all Srivaishnavas have migrated to urban/metro areas in India and abroad leaving the deities and temples to fend for themselves. The cost of project should include the monthly salary and maintenance for Archakar swamy at an attractive level ensuring a minimum decent living for him and his family, the maintenance staff and the temple infrastructure (electric bill, oil for lamp, flowers, prasadams etc for nithya thiruvaradanam and periodical functions).Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan

Dear members, Kindly go through the given appeal and do the needful from your end. dasan doosee Dated: 28th Oct..2009 Dear All. I am from Vilankuppam Gattam Thirumalai Thathachariar Vamsam and I would like to bring to your kind notice the following Lord Srinivasa Temple at Vilankuppam Village in Polur taluk was constructed during 1212 AD by our forefathers. The history of the temple is given for information . Myself along with Elanagar Sriman.V.Krishna thathachariar and Elanagar Sriman E.S.Kannan visited Vilankuppam recently to know the condition of the temple and are very much upset/ surprised to know from the local elders that the temple is no more there . But we found some traces of temple there and well built agraharam. Unfortunately there is no thathachariar family / Vaishnavite family living there. My Grandfather and other relatives themselves left the village some sixty years back.. In this juncture I look forward active support and participation from all families belonging to Vilankuppam poorveegam and interested Bagavathas.. Since most of the families belonging to Vilankuppam are dispersed, We are tracing and locating the families and request them to contact me at the below given address and contact Nos. Once sufficient no of members are located, all can meet, form opinion reg construction of temple , then a trust can be formed, finalise the strategy to be adopted and to decide what can be done to construct the temple again and how to go about funding etc. Let us all rejoin again by involving in this Bagavath Seva and get poorna anugraham of Lord Srinivasa. In this connection I would like to inform you that the temple constructed by our forefathers in Elanagar near Uthiramerur was in bad condition and the temple was renovated and Samprokshanam performed in April 2005. Pradishtai of Swamy Desikan uthsava moorthy was also done last month. I request all to locate all our Vilankuppam poorveegam family members and collect their Addresses and contact Nos and inform adiyen to proceed further.

He dedicated himself to Lord thiruvengadamudayan . 7 years have passed and on one day when he was bringing water from Akasa gangai for thirumanjanam, one yadava came across and asked water for drinking...He gave the water to the yadava. As the remaining water was not to be used for thirumanjanam, he again went to Akasagangai and fetched water after completing snanadhis. Again the yadva came across and asked for water which he again gave. The same process of fetching water and giving water to yadava continued for some more no.of times. At one stage Thathadesikan Swooned and asked the yadava who you are and why he is repeatedly interrupting the Thirumanjana Kaingaryam of thiruvenkatamudayan . Lord Thiruvenkatamudayan (Sangu chakra paniyai) gave darshan to thathadasan and With affection touched the Beard of the Thathadasan and asked him to Eastablish Five perumal Sannadhis along with Agraharams in five villages namely Elanagar, Vilankuppam, Natteri, Karumbur, Paiyur ..and the same is to be done thro his five sons for which the Lord blessed.
