Sri:

Sri Sadagopan Swami has been performing kainkaryams (likhitha and 
others) 

He has sent the following appeal to Sri Ranga Sri

Dear Sri Anbil Swamin,

HH Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan has blessed us with a Srimukham 
for the two Kaimkaryams.
 
Sri V.N.Venkatanathan has accepted the responsibility to recieve the 
funds from Ahobila Matam NA for the Kaimkaryams as well as directly 
and supervise the coverage of expenditures .
 
Sri Srirangam Jeeyar has been approached to get Srimukham.
 
The Joint Commissioner of the DevasthAnam has given the official 
note to start the Kaimkaryams.
 
Sri Murali Battar, the bother of Sri Nandu Bhattar known to us will 
oversee the Kaimkaryam.
 
With all these things in place to assure that we have put all 
safeguards in place for handling the  various aspects of  this once 
in a life time kaimkaryam to the Lord of Srirangam and to grow the 
Sri Ranga Sri.
 
Sri Sadagopan Swami mentions:

"After these two Kaimakryams, I will be focusing on serving adiyEn's 
AchAryan and the Likhitha Kaimkaryam in Ahobilavalli Series to bring 
it upto 108 E-Books. I want to close the door on Fund Raising at a 
public level. There is nothing more to do after the Kaimkaryam to 
NamperumAL.  This is the summit for adiyEn. I can rest now"

In view of the above, we are pleased to release his appeal in

Sri:
  Sri RanganAthO Jayathi !
  Dear SevakAs of the Sacred feet of Sri Ranganathan
  of Sri Ranga Dhivya Desam celebrated by AzhwArs 
  and AchAryAs of Vaidhika Mathams :

  Today is the Friday of maasi Maasam.

  On this sacred  occasion  , adiyEn  is priveleged to announce 
  the opportunity to perform TWO rare Kaimkaryams at
  the ThirukkOil of Sri Ranganathan of Srirangam dear to
  all AchAryAs , AzhwArs and Aasthikaas of every darsanam .
  adiyEn is gratefil to the Moderator of Sri Ranga Sri Group 
  for permission to announce this Kaimkaryam in the group
  founded by him with tight links to enhancing the Sri Ranga Sri .
  He has set rightfully hight standards for rasing funds for 
  dhivya desa Kaimkaryams , which adiyEn respects very much 
  and have tried to comply .

  One of these two Kaimkaryams has now been fully pledged .
  This one is the restoration of the Vasantha Mantapam .
  The other is the samarpaNam of a new KulasEkhara Padi
  in Silver .

  The only Kaimkaryam open hence for participation at this time is 
  the KulasEkhara Padi Kaimkaryam inside the Garbha Gruham of
  Sri Ranganathan .  

  Strict audit controls at USA and India as well as on site 
  supervision have been put in place to use every cent 
  presented to the Lord as SamarpaNams for the two
  Kaimakryams . 

  (1) KulasEkhara Padi at Sri RanganAthan's Garbha Gruham
  
********************************************************************
  It is the replacement of the aged and worn-out KulasEkhara 
(AzhwAr) 
  Padi right in front of the Garbha Gruham under the PraNavAkAra 
  VimAnam . Over many decades , the Current KulasEkara Padi 
  got worn out and shows now serious damage ( Portions missing and
  big cracks ) . This is the proverbial  Padi KulasEkahrar 
  sang about at Thirumala ; KulasEkhara PerumAL wanted to enjoy the 
dhivya
  Soundharyam of Sri BhUlOka Vaikunta Naathan from the vantage 
  position as  a Padi in the garba gruham of the Lord . This is the 
step 
  over which Uthsavar Sri Ranganathan steps out on His myriads 
  of Uthsavam year after year . This must be the step overwhich 
  AchArya RaamAnuja , KurEsar , ParAsara Bhattar  would have 
  crossed over to be closer to Lord RanganathAn for their 
  MangaLAsAsanams and daily Kaimakryams . This must be
  the step over which ANDAL and ThiruppANar crossed over to 
  join the Param JyOthi , Moolavar Sri RanganathAr . This must be 
  the step near which Thirumangai stood to have the UpadEsam on
  the Param JyOthi Tatthvam of Lord Ranganatha .
  This sacred Padi is thus very important for us . The Srirangam
  DevasthAnam has given us permission to initiate this Kaimkaryam 
  as Arangan adiyArs  . 

  You can see how damaged and worn out this Padi looks today :

will stay intact at the Garbha Gruham of the Lord for many , many 
Years .

    SECOND KAIMKARYAM AT SRIRANGAM TEMPLE
    **************************************************************
    Many of You might know the Vasantha Mantapam at
    Srirangam near AzhwAn SuRRu and near ThAyAr 
    Sannidhi .This is a 16 pillar Mantapam probably built 
    by Thirumangai Mannan or by a later day King . PerumAL
    goes thru this Mantapam 18 times an year as told to me .

    This Mantapam has seen the ravages of time . The roof 
    has cracked from the trees growing out of there . The Joints 
    have loosened up and need urgent repair . 

    The pictures of the current status of the Mantapam 
    are included below .
