Dear SrI RanganAtha BhakthAs :
There are times in which an initaitive has to be
taken
that may appear rather unusual from a
Bhagavath /
BhAgavatha Kaimkaryam point of view . Here is one such instance ,
where the Temple Board seeks your
understanding & support
before I
describe this one time initiative . Here is the background:
TODAY:
SrI RanganAtha Temple is fortunate to be served by
gifted Priests
who are known for their erudition in VedAs
and/or Dhvya Prabhandhams ,
or Tarka-MeemAmsam ,
SrI BhAshyam and other SrI Sookthis central
to the life of Sri VaishNavAs . Some of them are
known for Aagamic
skills and alankAram skills . We have been
blessed to have A FLOW
of very talented ArchakAs to serve Lord RanganAtha
.
TOMORROW:
Due to lack of proper priest quarters outside the
temple premises ,
the priests are staying NOW inside cramped quarters
with two priests
to a room . They are unable to bring their families
either because of
this special space situation . Since the opening of
the temple some
three years ago . Other temples in this country
such as the Pittsburgh
and Massachusetts Temple et al have seperate priest
quarters ,
which mkaes their professional and personal life
enjoyable .
We would like to build 2 Priest Quarters as a
starter to help
the priests and their families, which are left
behind in India
during their term of service .
