Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hi All, I have joined this group today. My name is G N Sivaramakrishna and I live in Chennai, India. In my native village Navalur, 40 km near Chennai city there is an old Lord Shiva temple with tow sanctum sanctorums one for a Shiva Lingha and one for The Goddess Parvati. This is a 260+ year old temple that was supposed to be beuilt by my forefathers. It needs a lot of renovation and I have initiated this with the help of my brethren . I would like to know of any organisation that would contribute to the renovation of Lord Shiva temples. I would send the photos and the appeal letter as well. Thanks and regards G N Sivaramakrishna gns15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Dear Mr Bhupendra,Yes your reply did not feature through the group.Yes we have formed a trust called Sri Sanatana Charitable Trust and we are in the process of getting it registered. It would be done in the next 1-2 weeks time along with the opening of the bank account. I shall inform the same.In the meantime I have started other activities like the plan to procure the 9 idols that are required for the temple and we would be hopefully starting the process of "curation" of the idols spiritually sometime in the next one week and that would run for 96 days. In the meantime we would intend the masonry work etc to plan the kumbabhishekam coinciding with the idols "curation".I will update you, on the bank account details.rgdsG N Sivaramakrishnab_jamnadas <b_jamna> wrote: Hi, I sent you a reply yesterday but never saw the reply in the group.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Dear Sivaramakrishna Ji, You mention that new idols are being proceured. Could those that already exist in the old temple not be used? Unless they are damaged, I would suggest you continue to use them for 2 reasons...prana pratishta wopuld have been better perfomred on these idols that would be performed on new idols in this day and age and secondly, historical value....it would be a shame to discard the old idols if they are not damaged.....this is just my opinion though...you are in a better position to determine what needs to be done. Do you still need help(other than financial help) with temple reconstruction? Maybe you can give me the location of the temple.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Dear Shri Bhupendra, Thanks for the mail. It is like this. We are retaining some idols which are there since the temple original construction. These are Lord Subrahmanya, Valli and Devayana; the nine Navagrahas; one small Vinayaka. However the rest have been lost , maybe decades ago; we don't even know when they were lost. They are Vinayaka Narthana Vinayaka Brahma Durga Bali Peetam in front of Goddess shrine Dakshninamurthi ( Guru) Maha Vishnu Singa vahana and one idol is broken beyond repair - Sandikeswara. Hence it is necessary to get the new idols, 9 in number. Yes I am seeking funds support for getting the idols to start with. The rough estimate for the idols ( all 3/4' in height ) would be Rs 30,000/- ( final would be known on Wednesday ) and I have mobilised Rs 15,000/-. This Rs 30,000/- is for the purchase of the idols, for the commencement puja expenses ( like immersion in navadhanya ) and the ceremonial entry of the idols to the place of the 96 day spiritual immersion in water and dhanya near the temple complex from the place of purchase. I am in the process of getting these arranged as well as the procurement . At this stage I am also working on the auspicious date for the procurement. Subsequently I am taking the sculptors and the masonry personnel this weekend to make the estimate for the other re-works , renovation of structures, construction of a mandapa, construction of a platform for making queues, fencing and also making other structural repairs. I have secured a new electricity connection for the temple from Tamilnadu Electricity Board and constructed the pillar, hood for housng the meter and for the Sivaratri just concluded the villagers were able to make a grand puja with the lights. This is the current stage. I am humbly waiting for any suggestions from any/all our members. The temple is located behind Serapancheri village near Padappai, Sriperumbudur Taluk. It in on the road from Vandalur to Kanchipuram in Tamilnadu and is located about 35 KM from Chennai city.
