Dear BhakthAs of Sri Vaikunta Nathan(ThiruviNNagarappan): Now that Sri Bhumi Devi's MaaNiccka Kondai, Maragatha KiLi and Golden Jatakothsu Kaimkaryam has been completed , it is an appropriate time to offer prapatthi to ThiruviNNagarappan . There are eleven moving Prapatthi slOkams that are recited before Oppiliappan by His BhakthAs . I will take this opportunity to summarize their meaning in this series of postings . Let us seek now His blessings to complete the last of the planned kaimkaryams (viz) ., the samarpaNam of Mutthangis for the uthsava mUrthys ( Ponnappan and BhUmi dEvi ) on Kaisika Ekaadasi of 1998 . We need a total of 50,000 Rupees ( $1,400 ) to complete this Kaimkaryam . The contribution of $35 by 40 BhakthAs would help to complete this last of the present series of Kaimkaryam to the SaraNya Sampathis , who received and granted Prapatthi to NammAzhwAr .I pledge 10 % of the needed funds ( $140 ) . That would leave $ 1,260 , which could be raised from $35 contributions each by 36 BhakthAs . We have completed the taping of two tapes realting to the Mahimai of Sri Oppiliappan . One of them is a summary of AzhwAr's anubhavams in Tamil . The second tape is a musical tribute to Sri Bhumi Devi samEtha Sri Oppiliappan . These two tapes will be presented to the contributors to this kaimkaryam . Sri sampath rengarajan has kindly offered to help with the duplication and distribution of these two tapes . The individual items in the second tape are : 1. The GhantA Naadham (the peeling of the Big Bell) of Thiruppathi temple ( Swami Desikan is revered as the ghantAvathAram ) . 2.
