SrI :
 
May I invite your attention to the efforts underway to construct
two residences for the Priests of SrI RanganAtha Temple at
Pomona ,  NY ?
 
As visitors or as those who have read about the temple know that 
there are 8 sannidhis here ( SrI RanganAtha , Sri RanganAyaki , Sri Andal ,
Sri Venkatesa , Sri Venugopalan , Sri Lakshminrusimhan ,
Sri Ramachandran and His Family as well as Garudan ) .
 
The Temple web site contains a wealth of information about this 
unique temple in North America , which follows the PaancharAthra Aagamam
and the Srirangam temple procedures meticulously :
 
http://www.ranganatha.org
 
We have the good fortune to have outstanding /erudite priests /ArchakAs ,
who are well trained in VedA adhyayanam , Dhivya Prabhandham recitation 
and UpAdhyAyam . The Religious committee of the temple has gone
to extraordinary lengths to identify and attract such traditional and
gifted Priests to serve the Lord and His community . We would like them
to have comfortable private quarters , bring their families here and
establish new standards of excellence  in serving  Lord RanganAtha
and His devotees .
 
These priests since the inauguration of the temple have lived in
cramped quarters inside the temple. Their families could not join them
under the present circumstances .  There would be a tremendous advantage
for them to have seperate quarters in the land adjascent to the temple owned
by the temple .
 
We need $150,000 to construct two residences  for them .
It is towards this goal  , the Temple Board has come up with
the organization of  a One time RAFFLE to raise the funds for
the construction of the Priest Quarters in 2005 . The details of
the Raffle are described in the Web pages under the title: NEW--Raffle for
Priest Quarters(http://www.ranganatha.org ) . Please refer to this section.
 
In summary , individual Raffle ticket  costs $100 and N.Y State has approved
the sale of 1,500 Tickets for this initative . You can buy as many as you
wish to increase your chances of winning one of the three prizes :
 
(1) First Prize:   BMW 300 Series 2005 (4 Door , automatic) /30,000$ value .
 
(2) Second Prize: 1 Week/Year Time sharing for Life ,
      Virginai Beach Holiday Apartment : 11,000$ value
 
(3) Third Prize: Round Trip Ticket for two to India : $3,000 Value
 
We have sold 200 Tickets sofar and have quite someway to go
( Sale of additional 1300 tickets ) before the draw date of midnight ,
Dec 31,2004 . You can purchase the Tickets by Cash, Check
or credit card .
 
Please contact me or Dr.Venkat Kanumalla , the Chairman of
the temple to purchase your tickets and help the noble cause of
housing the priests and their families to serve the dhivya Dampathis .
Dr.Kanumalla can be reached at kanumalla@xxxxxxxxxxx
 
With Lord RanganAthA's anugraham and your support , the Temple hopes
to realize the Construction of the Priest Quarters in 2005 .
 
Many thanks in advance for your attention and support ,
 
V.Sadagopan
Secretary , The Board of Sri RanganAtha Temple .   
 
P.S : In my mind , $100 investment with chances to win ( 3 in 2,000 )
is a good one; most importantly , you will be helping an important
cause to support the nithyArAdhanam for Lord RanganAtha to
proceed under the best circumstances . Please contact me or
Dr.Venkat Kanumalla for any clarifications on this one time raffle .
Thank you .
