Dear BhakthAs of ThiruveLLUr Divya Dampathis : On this Aadi SvAthi day sacred to the smaraNam and dhyAnam of the 25 th Pattam Azhagiya Singar, SaapAnugraha Sri VaNN SatakOpa SrinivaAsa Yatheendra Maha Desikan , it is my privelege to come back to you and account for the disposition of the Funds that thirty of you contributed for the MahA SamprOkshaNa Kaimkaryam at ThiruveLLUr . May Sri Kanakavalli SamEtha Sri VeerarAghavan's and the AchAryAL's blessings be with you and your family always.Five of the Azhagiya Singars have their BrindhAvanams( Final resting place for their Bodily remains ) at this Divya Desam .They are the 32nd,33rd, 34th,35th and 42nd Azhagiya Singars . Our fund raising had a hectic pace and had only 5 days to join in .You all came thru generously .The list of the aasthikAs , who joined in this kaimkaryam is provided below . Both Sriman K.G. KrishNan (KGK) and myself thank every one of you .Special thanks on our behalf goes to Sriman Dileepan , who received the funds from a Tax deductible perspective and is forwarding the donated sum to Chennai . He has spent sizable amount of time amidst his many duties. It is my pleasure now to brief you on a durable way through which the funds generated are going to be used to offer our worship at the sacred feet of the divya dampathis throughout the year and for years to come . This tremendous blessing has been made possible by two MahAns : (1)Sriman KGK Swamy and (2) Srimadh Paramahamsa ParivrAjaka Sri VaNN SatakOpa NaarAyaNa Yatheendhra MahA Desikan ( the Current Jeeyar Of Ahobila Mutt) under whose golden reign , so many great kaimkaryams are being commissioned in a far-reaching way to benefit the aasthikaa community . Let me say a few words about Sriman KGK Swamy , who is from a family of those , devoted to ThiruveLLUr Emperumaan and ThAyAr and the Ahobila Matam jeeyars . He is the father of our dear Sri Anand and the son-in-law of Another MahAn born under the constellation of Svathi, Sri UtthamUr Swamy. Sri KGK is always searching for ways to serve the divya Dampathis of ThiruveLLUr andn his AchAryAs. Thanks to a brilliant arrangement spearheaded by him , we are able to get multiple dividends (ROI) on the contributions that we have made .The creative arrangement is as follows : (1) Our donated funds of close to 1.7 Lakhs of rupees will be added to another 8.3 Lakhs of Funds collected by Sri KGK Swamy for the NithyArAdhanam of the Divya Dampathis at ThiruveLLUr to bring it up to 10 Lakhs . (2) Our Gracious Azhagiya Singar has kindly agreed to match those 10 Lakhs to set aside a Trust that will yield interst of approximately Rs 8,000/month on a recurring basis. (3) Those funds will be used to provide deha YaathrA support for FOUR AdhyApAkAs , who will render Veda- Divya Prabhandha Kaimkaryam for the Divya Dampathis DAILY . They will be given free quarters at the Ahobila Matam at ThiruveLLUr . Thanks to the sagacity of Sri KGK Swamy and the generosity of Azhagiya Singar , the funds donated by you are yielding a 1170% Return on the investment .The most important aspect is that these funds are going to be set aside for the daily Ubhaya VedAntha Kaimkaryam to the SaraNya Dampathis at this ancient KshEthram . I can not think of a greater good fortune for the contributions of the devout BhakthAs . THANK YOU ALL MOST SINCERELY .I request those , who have not joined so far in such Kaimkaryams to join in .
