Dear Swamin:
Pranams to you:

As swamin said, both kainkaryams are important. Infact, a 
vaishnavite has to do both bhagavath as well as bhaagavatha
kainkaryam. If there is any mistake again adiyen makes
humble pranams to bhakthas and bhaagavathaas of HIM.

NOT ONLY the toilet facilities has to be done. Now-a-days,
most of the pushkarini's of the divya desams are in bad
conditions. Most of divyadesams, the nearby peoples makes
the theertham (pushkarini) in bad conditions by washing their
clothes, excreta around or on the steps of pushkarini, throwing
household-wastages either inside or near the pushkarinis.
These spoils the punyam of pushkarinis and makes the situation
worse to take holy dip.

Recently steps has been taken in Parthasarathy temple, Triplicane
and they build fence around the pushkarini, and they allow
the bhakthaas only during certain time. This similar things
has to happen in other divyadesams too. To the fact adiyen felt
happy when sees the info. about building lavatory at Sriperumbudur.
Infact adiyen is also regular visitor of bhagavath Ramanujar.
Definitely by the grace of kArEi karunai muni rAmAnujar, this
work would be completed sucessfully.
