srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

dear bhAgavathAs,

Here is an update on the divyadEsam support efforts.
I had the opportunity to be at thirunAngUr this
weekend and met one of the 3 trustees of 7 temples
(out of 11 in the area). The other two reside
in chennai and thanjAvUr respectively, and are upto 
speed on this already.

Here is what we have:
1. The immediate need is for 2 parichArakAs and
1 archaka.
2. I met 2 people present that can be good
parichArakAs. These two bhAgavathAs are local,
*and* want to stay there and serve the temples
there. 
3. A candidate has been identified for the additional
archaka position, but I was not able to meet
this person.
4. srI kaNNan (the local managing trustee) will be
our contact for help with visiting these places
and for supervision of the effort.
5. We will conduct random checks to ensure that the
kainkaryam is proceeding smoothly.
6. The temples will be open for a fixed time in the
morning and in the evening (4 hours each), and
the timings will be advertised to everyone.
7. During the random checks (done by anyone that is
identified by us - may be some known person 
visiting the area, or may be members of the
family of the sponsor(s), or may be some Vedics
volunteer), we intend to have a set of 
questions that we will ask the volunteers fill
answers for based on their observation (was
the temple open? was the lamp lit? was there
good conditions for the sEvai etc. etc.). And 
we will use this feedback with the trustees
and the people involved if there is any complaint.
8. The effort is slated to start from the month
of March (or as soon as we are able to arrange
funds).
9. By this weekend, we will have the names and other
pertinent information for our use, and will start
the effort.

Please give us your valuable thoughts/ideas on the
above structure/arrangement and we can tweak this as
we go forward.

In the next few weeks, we will be taking on a similar
effort in kAnchipuram, and I will post updates once
we have some progress.

adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan,
Varadhan
