Dear BhakthAs : On the eve of my journey home to have the darsana soubhAgyam of the sacred ArchA mUrthys , my heart is full of thanks for all of your support for the many kaimkaryams that has led to the presentation of the RathnAngi , Mutthangi , at Oppiliappan Sannidhi . Many of You have supported generously the above kaimkaryams , Sri Abhinava Desikan's hundredth anniversary , ThiruveLLUr MahA SamprOkshaNam , CD ROM project on AchArya RaamAnujA et al. The Thiruvellur related support has been amplified wiht the efforts of Sriman K.G.Krishnan to result in arrangements for a corpus funds for daily Veda PaarAyaNam and Divya Prabhandham recitation at Sri Veeraraghavan's sannidhi . Other respected members have raised fuinds to support a variety of Kimkaryams such as support for the release of original commentaries on Thiruvaimozhi, renovation of Sri Vara Vara Muni's sannidhi at Kanchipuram , Ahobila Mutt's 600th anniversary , the release of Desika Prabhandham monograph , Sthothra granthams of Swami Desikan et al .It is so heartening to see these durable and pioneering efforts . My prayers at all the divya desams during this journey will be for this select group of AasthikAs , who are contributing towards the upkeep and nourishment of our rich sampradhAyam thru the above Kaimkaryams , sharing their rich knowledge on our ancient sampradhAyams and archiving those exchanges in Bhakthi archives , SaranAgathi Archives , AchArya Archives et al . Sri Anbil Ramasawamy has spearheaded many activities under the banner of SDDS and the Various coordinators of the NAMA organization are doing laudable service in their own communites . It is most heartening that we have travelled a significant way together during the last few months with the divya dampathi's blessings. I have only one request to make to you . In all these fund raising efforts of mine , I might have suggested/offered sending appropriate Prasadams as a token of respect for the contributions and might have missed out on individual instances due to oversight or poor ccordination . Please forgive me , if such things might have happened . Please let me know of any lapses . I will fix it ASAP in one way or the other . In this context , I can not but thank profusely Sri Sampath Rengarajan , who lifted the responsibilities off my shoulder by copying the two musical tapes containig Oppilaippan's vaibhavam , that I promised as souvenirs for the aasthikAs , who supported the Mutthangi kaimkaryam .Sri Rengarajan copied these tapes 40 times and distributed them . He absorbed all the postal and tape expenses for the same . In the case of the ThiruveLLUr kaimkaryam , I am still waiting for the PrasAdhams from India . It is slow in coming . In case of AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM we plan to present each of the 31 supporters with a CD ROM and a small monograph . I am not a well-organized person and the lapses may occur .Once you remind me , I will take care of it rightaway , since I believe that a promise is a promise and must be kept at all costs . In conclusion , let me say that the Divya Dampathis at Oppiliappan Koil are resplendent in their AbharaNams presented by their children from Bahrain , Singapore , USA , India and other parts of the World . That itself is a great source of Joy for every one of us .Soon , we may realize the first CD ROM on the works of AchArya RaamAnujA and follow it up with another CD ROM on the 108 Sri VaishNavite Divya desams . We are travelling together on a most meaningful journey performing Kaimkaryam as we go along on this deha yaathrA of ours. May the SaraNya dampathis strengthen our efforts to continue to perform additional kaimkaryam in every way . Daasan , Oppilaippan Koil Varadachari Sadagopan
