Dear Sri Sadagopan swamin and other bhagavathas who are associated with kaimkaryams in Thirunangur divya desams,

pranamams.

adiyen dasan venkat.

Most of you are aware that we have commissioned a trust titled divyadesa kainkarya trust four years ago and our humble kaimkaryams are continuing well till this day. We have visited all the divya desams where our trust is involved in doing nitya aradana kaimkaryams during June 30th and July1st to oversee the status of our kaimkaryams. What follows is a brief report. Shortly we will be updating more details in our web site http://srivaishnavam.com under kaimkaryam link.

1.Till March 2006 we have been doing nitya aradana kaimkaryams in Thiruvali and Thirunagari, THiru vaN purushottamam, Thiru vaikunda vinnagaram divya desams in Thirunangur area, Our local coordinator was Sri Aalinadan swamin in Thirunagari. Sri Kannan swamin of Thirunangur was coordinating the kaimkaryam for van purushttamam and vaikundha vinnagaram.

2. Our trust was indeed surprised when the emails started flowing stating that Thiruvaikundha vinnagaram is in need of funds as there is no support. We are pained to note that there is no coordination between the various groups who are undertaking such kaimkaryams. Our repeated requests to the local coordinators to provide a notice board indicating all the kaimkaryams the temple is receiving hasn't been fulfilled even today. In absence of such information any one visiting these temples get the same story that no one cares for the temple and temple is in need of funds.

3. During our visit, we have enquired why such impression was given while our donations are being sent regularly to the local coordinator. The answer received is not satisfactory and on the contrary the response received was shocking. The heriatage trustees claim that they never sought support from anyone and they will take care of the temples on their own since it is their duty to do so. We were wondering how to tackle this situation. Despite the burning desire to serve the Lord we were pained to note their lack of commitment and accountability.

4. We do agree that our donation was meagre  to take care of all the needs of vaikundha vinnagaram but the donation amount sought by the heritage trustee was provided. We were told that there are resources for other needs of the vaikuandha vinnagaram temple when our kaimkaryam was commenced three years ago.

5. Considering the current efforts of Sri Vasudevan and Sri Rajagopalan and their team, we have now decided to restrict our support to Thiru VaN purushottamam and the entire needs of the temple for nitya aradanam will be provided by our trust.

We would request other interested bhagavathas not to duplicate the efforts in same temples and if some one feels something more to be done in that particular temple please bring it to the attention of the group/trust who is doing kaimkaryam at present. In all fairness our divya desa kainkarya trust should have been consulted even before commencing kaimkaryams at Thiruvaikundha vinnagaram as it is well known fact that our trust is involved in this temple thru our web page and Sri Rajagopalan swamin is very well aware of this.

We are not against anyone doing kaimkaryam in these temples but due to lack of coordination among us, we are unable to get good results despite our efforts. It is sad to note the local bhagavathas are using our lack of coordination to their benefit.

The other divya desa temples that are being supported by our trust are.

1. Thanjai maamanikkoil (neelamega perumal temple)
2. Kabistalam
3. Thiruvelliyangudi
4. Thalaichchanga nanmadhiyam
5. Annan koil (garden maintenance)
6. Parthan palli (provision of flowers)
7. Therazhundhur(Nandvanam maintenance)
8. Nathan koil

plus 6 other temples near kanchi and in choza nadu which are abimana kshetrams,

More details will be available in our site shortly.

regards

Divya desa kainkarya trustees

SrImatE NarAyaNAya nama:


Thirunangur Kshethram is endowed with Six Divya Desams in it and is abutted by six more Divya Desams.  Shriman Narayana with different forms and postures enthrills His Sevarthis who throng His abodes from far and near.
 These Divya Desams,  were so dear to the great Thirumangai Azvar who has rendered a number of Mangalasasana Pasurams in praise of Shriman NArayana.  Till recently, these Divyadesams were a neglected lot. But due to the timely action by a number of great souls and noble hearts,  there has been  steady improvement. Various groups have started to support these Divyadesams. It is quite noteworthy that these Divyadesams are coming back to their glory.
 
Swamin, we were not there, when these shrines were built. We were not there when Azvars and Saints visited these Divyadesams to sing the glory of Shriman Narayana. But it is a divine and God sent opportunity for us to serve Shriman Narayana through our Kainkaryams.
 
Some of us who are near to these Divyadesams can do Kainkaryam by visiting these Divyadesams and help in cleaning the premises, nurturing the NAndavanams, recite Slokas etc.Those who are not very near, can help organize groups of people to visit these Divyadesams and  sing the glory of Shriman Narayana, there by enable the otherwise sleepy Thirunangur to spring back to life.Those, who are far off whether in India or abroad, make it a point to visit these Divyadesams, whenever they visit Tamiznadu.
 
The bhattars and other temple staff live in  pitiable conditions. If their conditions improve , it will reflect in their service to Sevarthis. Please be liberal to contribute in the Deeparadhana Thattu.
 
The Thirunangur Divyadesa Rakshana Trust, a registered trust endeavours to improve the conditions in the following three Divyadesams of Thirunangur:
 
Thiru Vaikundha Vinnagaram, Thiru Arimeya Vinnagaram and Semponsai Kovil. You will be glad to note that their efforts have started to pay off.
 
But then, the trust members are putting thier efforts with their own contributions and it is time that we support them in the noble cause. Hence this appeal is made to request you to contribute liberally to the Thirunangur Divyadesa Rakshana Trust. Efforts are made to receive contributions through ICICI Bank. Clearances are awaited from Reserve Bank and Income Tax Department for IT Exemptions for these conttributions. How ever, till then your contributions are verymuch needed to get things going. Indian Residents can send donations.  NRIs can help through their kith and kin in India.
 
Wouldn't you be interested in this noble cause?
