Dear Sriman Sudarshan :

I can not agree with you more .

You are absolutely right in arriving at the conclusion
that the two kinds of kaimkaryam at dhivya dEsams
and abhimAna sthalams are equal in importance .

AabharaNa SamarpaNam , Vasthra samarpaNam , 
TadhiyArAdhanam during the uthsavam days and
most importantly  ThiruvArAdhanam support is one kind .

The other kind is cleaning of the streets around the temple 
(Veethi sOdhanam) and providing other services for SevArthees 
to make their visits to the temples  comfortable and worry free .

Great AchAryAs like ThirukkaNNa Mangai ANDAN have taken
the broom and cleansed the prAkArams and considered that
Kaimkaryam as a blessed one . Keeping the premises of
the temple clean and hyginic especailly in these days 
is the highest of kaimkaryams . 

With Bhagavath RaamAnujA's blessings , let us take part in
this important kaimkaryam and benefit from the offer of 
help from every one , who considers himelf or herself 
as "RaamAnuja Daasan ".  This kaimkaryam will be remembered 


I am very happy that you will be meeting with Sri Manoram
Chaitanya Das , who has kindly offered to supervise the construction 
on ground , interface with the Executive officer, secure the land 
and free us from the claws of the corrupt middle men . Your counsel
for the project to take off is very timely and important . 

adiyEn will write a series of articles on Sri YathirAja Sapthadhi
as a part of the Kaimkaryam for the upcoming Sri Ramanuja 
Jayanthy . adiyEn's write up on the moving sthuthi of YathirAjar by 
Swamy MaNavALa MaamunigaL(YathirAja Vimsathy ) is availabe lt:
