adiyen refer to the article on Chennai Online. adiyen would like to clarify certain facts about Thirukkoodalur Divyadesam.
After Mahasamprakshanam at Thirukkoodalur in June 2003, adiyen had the bhagyam of contributing to the festivities - monthly and annual - at Thirukkoodalur. Many sevarthis and paropakaris have been involved in maintaining the nandavanam. Pavithrothsavam was conducted in 2005 & 2006. navarathri celbrations have started in 2006. Monthly Thirumanjanam for Thayar is being conducted on days of "Aslesha" from August 2003. Thiruadi pooram , Rama Navami and various other festivals have been started from 2006. adiyen has the bagham to spearhead these activities with the help of like minded friends. Sri Krishna Premi Swamin has been instrumental in conduct of monthly Thirumanjanam for perumal for more than a decade. Officers of City Union Bank are conducting grand Thirumanjanam and Sahasranama Parayanam on every English New Year. Like wise, many festivities are being conducted. Rice,
other provisions, ghee and other things needed for the daily conductn of pujas are offred by sevarthis on a monthly basis.
Recently, the villagers have started a kainkarya Sabha called "Sagamapuri". They have a current account at City Union Bank Kumbakonam a/c No.70713. They have completed recently the front mandapam at the temple, with the contributions from various sevarthis.
Hence, adiyen was shocked to see the name of Thirukkoodalur being mentioned in the article. adiyen would urge sevarthis to visit Thirukkoodalur and have the darshan and paramanugraham of Jagthrakshaka Perumal. Shortly, adiyen shall share the details of all the daily, monthly and annual festivities that are bring conducted, with the name of the sevarthis sponsoring them. This shall help others to know about the kainkaryams and also not to duplicate the same. The funds could be utilised at other divyadesams. Also, it would help monitor the activities, as not all the donors are present during the activities.
The Archkar lives at Ganapathi Agraharam, about 3 kms from Thirukkoodalur. Most of the times, adiyen has heard from sevarthis that they could not have darshan as it was locked. adiyen has been urging the archkars - Venkatesan and Kasthuri, that some one should be there in the temple and they should notify the time. We have been unsuccessful and hence triggered many activities there. But still there is a long way to go in keeping things in order.
Secretary of Sangamapuri is K.Bharathi, who has been involved in the renovation and restoration of the temple in 2003. Also, he has been the force behind building the front mandapam, which came down during 2003 renovation. He may be reached at +91 93443 03809 and +91 4374 243131 (res)
Please do pardon me if adiyen has stated anything wrong.
