Dear bhakthAs,
Through your prayers, and devotion towards emperumAn, the kainkaryam 
at Thiru Vaikunta Vinnagaram in ThirunAngUr started successfully on 
April 1st, 2007 (Panguni Uththiram Day). 

AdiyEn reached Sirkazhi around 8.00 A.M.(April 1st) though could able 
to catch bus from Chennai at around 2.00 A.M. as the consequence of 
bandh announced by the Govt. Sriman Vasudevan Varahachary and his 
wife received adiyEn in a hotel at Sirkazhi and after freshening up 
and breakfast we left to dhivyadesam for the fresh start of 
Kainkaryam. AdiyEn was first introduced to a local gardener who made 
remarkable changes in nandavanam after the initiative of Sriman 
Varahachary. (The photos would be soon uploaded in blogsite). Then 
each of us (adiyEn, Sriman Varahachary & Tmt Varahachary) planted new 
Mallikai flower plant in the nandavanam. AFter that Sriman 
Varahachary informed adiyEn about the initiatives that he taken up in 
this dhivyadesam. He will post the accounts details soon. The ground 
work is taken by Sri T.R. Thirumalai (local person from SthalathAr).

Thirumanjanam to Utsavar was planned and arranged by Sriman 
Varahachary on April 1st. Later we heard a sweet news that, the 
ubayadhAr who planned to perform thirumanjanam to Moolavar (Sri 
Vaikunta nathar and His consorts) had postponed it on the same day 
(April 1st) due to bandh on the previous day. Hence thirumanjanam was 
performed to both Moolavar and Uthsavar of Sri Vaikunta Nathar and 
His consorts along with Sri Krishnar and chakrathAzhwar which was 
great boon for us on the holy Panguni Uththiram Day which remarked 
the successful start of our kainkaryam!!!

After thirumanjanam, we gathered some of the informations about the 
sthalathArs, members of Heredity Trustees, theerthakArars, etc.,

SthalathAs, Trustees, Muthal TheerthakArar:
1) Sri U.Ve. P.B.S. RamanujAchAryar Swamigal
2) Sri U.Ve. P.B.R. RanganathAchAryar
3) Sri U.Ve. P.T.R. SrinivAsAchAryar

IrandAm TheerthakArar:
1) Sri U.Ve. P.B.A. RangarajAchAryar

In the meanwhile we discussed the problem that predominantly occurs 
to the sEvarthis during the visit to Thirunangur Dhivyadesams. We 
finalized the problem is timings of the temple. Most of the sEvArthis 
who planned a trip to THirunAngUr DD's, were aware that most of the 
time , the DD's were closed unless you make a personal visit or pick 
up nearby bhattar to have darshan. Some times to make the situation 
worse, the trip ends with uncomplete darshan of all Thirunangur DD's. 
While adiyEn and Sriman Varahachary Swamin were discussing this point 
at morning, a group of sEvArthis who just arrived in an auto entered 
into the temple. After a chat with auto driver, it seems that he used 
to make a trip to Thirunanagur DD's by the sEvArthis request. We just 
put a general question infront of him on the difficulties faced by 
him and sEvArthis during the visit. He replied that, "We bring 
sEvArthis to this DD's for the darshan, but the main disappointment 
would be the temple doors always closed and sEvArthis end-up with 
uncompleted trip which results in decrease in number of sEvArthis 
turning to this DD's." Hence we primarily focussed on making 
arrangements for opening the temple during working hours. We got 
assurance from local sthalathArs, that the timings would be followed 
hereafter so that the sEvArthis wont return with disappointment. Sri 
T.R. Thirumalai is helping us always in this regard and assured that 
the temple would be remained open at the following timings:

TEMPLE TIMINGS:
Morning: 8.30 A.M. to 11.30 A.M.
Evening: 4.00 P.M. to 7.30 P.M.

After this discussion, ghOsti sEva (sAtrumurai) was performed after 
sAthupadi. We had the darshan of Sri Vaikunta Nathar perumal and His 
consorts in sAthupadi after thirumanjanam.

Through our kainkaryam, daily four times poojAs(naalu kaala poojai) 
were arranged. Thanks to all the supporters and Sriman Varahachary 
swamin in this regard. And to provide comfort to the visitors who 
plan  to visit Thirunangur DD's, we planned an idea of making 
ThirunAngUr as base station such that accomadation and SriVaishnavite 
food would be provided at nominal cost and could make a trip of all 
nearby Thirunangur DD's within a day. This would increase the 
sEvArthis to ThirunAngUr DD's which results in drawing more attention 
of these temples. Instead of having Sirkazhi or Chidambaram as base 
for Thirunangur DD's which would require more time and money for a 
trip to Thirunanagur and to add, the presence of temple bhattars to 
have darshan, Thirunangur itself could be considered as base so that 
the visitors could save time and with assistance of sthalathArs and 
locals could complete the darshan of all DD's without any 
disappointment. Travel assistance can be arranged.

For this project along with the SthalathArs, we inspected a place 
which could be developed as accomadation for the sEvArthis and they 
assured that, they can supply SriVaishnavite food at nominal cost. 
This is a boost to the bhattars, sthalathArs and sEvArthis too. For 
further queries about accomadation and food at ThirunAngUr, contact 
T.R. Thirumalai, Heredity(Parambarai) Trustees : 98404 06696.

Then we left for Thirunagari to express our thanks to Sri 
GeethAchAryan who co-ordinated in organizing certain things was busy 
with Panguni BrahmOtsavam and due to vEdupari Utsavam on the previous 
day(31,March). AdiyEn got strucked with the darshan of Sri VayalAli 
manavAlan and Thirumangai Azhwar with Sri Kumudavalli nAchiyAr in car 
(thEr) festival. AdiyEn couldn't able to move even a step or leave 
the place after the darshan of Thirumangai Azhwar at thEr (Not 
beacause of crowd, but Azhwar's thirumEni beauty). AdiyEn would soon 
post the picture in blog. Then we visited the Thiruthettriambalam 
(Palli konda perumal) and then to Thiru ArimEya Vinnagaram - our next 
target on April 14th. We discussed the steps to be taken at this DD 
during April 14th. Then we left to Thiru Vaikunta Vinnagaram - the 
starting place, and had a good darshan of perumAl with thAyAr(s). 
AFter a brief discussions with T.R.Thirumalai and other sthalathArs, 
about the kainkaryam to be followed up in Vaikunta Vinnagaram, with 
fulfillment in heart we left to Sirgazhi around 5.30 P.M. for the 
departure. AdiyEn and Mr.& Mrs Vasudevan Varahachary were indeed in 
great pleasure in successful start of the first Kainkaryam that was 
scheduled during the April 1st (Panguni Uththiram Day) at Vaikunta 
Vinnagaram. We express our gratitude and heartfull thanks  to the 
contributors who made us to implement this noble kainkaryam! AdiyEn 
thank Sriman Varahachary Swamin for his wise suggestions, timely 
actions, perfection in getting work to be done, getting peoples for 
the work and co-ordinating them.

Personally adiyEn thank Mr. & Mrs Varhachary Swamin for their 
hospitality during adiyEn's visit on April 1st. We hope by the end of 
this month, the remaining two DD's could be taken up for the 
kainkaryam.

adiyEn,
senthil.b.
