Dear friends in Kuwait and elsewhere, Those of you who have read and believe they have benefited from reading adiyane's 17-part series, "Art of Living - Life of Vedanta Desika" in the past 2 weeks may please pay their tribute to the memory of the "vEdAntAchArya" in the following meaningful way: There is a temple in a place called Thoopul near Kanchipuram (India). This is the birthplace of Swami VedantachArya who was born there in 1268 CE. Although it is a famous temple, it has fallen upon difficult times financially. The temple priests are finding it hard to make both ends meet and do not have resources to conduct even the basic and mandatory daily ritual called "nitya-ArAdana". This is a most pathetic state of affairs. A Trust has been formed there by a committee of Desikan admirers under the leadership of one Sri.Sadagopa Tatachari. He wrote to me last month requesting me to raise some funds for the "nitya-arAdana-trust" in the Gulf and Middle-east although Kuwait members have already contributed for the same early in '02. The Trust is in need of further resources and is desperately appealing worldwide to be able to reach the target corpus of INR 2 million. To this end, adiyane tried to raise some funds. I have no other talent or gift using which I can raise funds. Lack of time (I am a regular office-goer) also constrains me from going out door-to-door appealing for contributions. Hence, the only way I thought I could raise attention to the state of affairs at Thuppul is to write a series on the "Life of Desikan" which is in itself a glorious lesson on what is truly the Vedantic way of living. If the "Art of Living" series touched your heart and life in any way, pls. express it through a contribution to a worthy cause and institution. Pease contact me for further details. Thank you and regards, dAsan, Sudarshan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/
