Sri:

Dear BhakthAs :

This morning adiyEn enjoyed the viewing of the compelete 
video of the above MohOthsavam of Muthangi SamarpaNam to 
the dhivya Dampathis of SrivilliputthUr  . This is a VCD/DVD
that takes 45 minutes to see .

adiyEn can only say that this is a blessed day 
after seeing this extraordinary video taken
with the permission of temple authorities and by
a Professional video photographer from SrivilliputthUr .

One's eyes fill  with tears on seeing the SampradhAyic Nava Kalasa
Thirumanjanam for the dhivya dampathis as PoorvAngam (preliminary )
to Mutthangi SamarpaNam to Them . Arayar is in attendance 
along with Veda ViNNappam seyvOrkaL. 

This video takes us from the entrance to NaacchiyAr ThirumALigai 
and onto SuRRu PrAkAram , where the paintings of the 108 dhivya dEsa 
PerumALs and ThAyArs adorn the wall . One has the VimAna Sevai 
and the capture of the rare sculptures of the temple going back to 
1200 plus years , when the temple was built by the Paandya Kings 
with the gold sulkam won by PeriyAzhwAr .  

After the PradhhakshiNam , we arrive at the Thirumanjana Mantapam 
to enjoy the sampradhAyic Nava Kalas Thirumanjanam described 
in an earlier posting . The Thirumanjanam started with VaasudEva
PunyAvachanam and proceeded thru Kumbha  archanai , Aavahanam of
PerumAL and ThAyaar and other steps described in adiyEn's
earlier posting . It is a most memorable experience to enjoy this
Nava Kalasa Thirumanjanam done by the competent ArchakAs
without manthra or KriyA lobham (Short cuts/lapses ) . After Thirumanjanam ,
the video covers the Mutthanmgi SamarpaNam ,  adiyEn's
Thiruvaalavatta Kaimkaryam to ThAyAr & PerumAL , AshTothtara
Archanai for ANDAL , Theertham , SaThAri and Koil MaryAdhai
for adiyEn on behalf of all the sponsors of this special Kaimkaryam .

You have seen sofar six still photos from this video at :

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sivakumarkb/my_photos

There is a shorter CD ROM on Thirumanjanam for Lord 
VaradarAja with adiyEn . Both that shorter version and 
the current longer version of Thirumanjanam for ANDAL teach 
us so much about PaancharAthra Thirumanjanam .

adiyEn is debating about raising some funds for yet another 
Major Kaimkaryam in 2006 ( Kempu Gem Kireetam for Lord SrinivAsan
(Uthsavar ) of Thirumalai and His Ubhaya NaacchiyArs .

adiyEn had the niyamanam for this Kaimkaryam on the day of 
the visit to Thirumalai during the Peddha Jeeyar SaaRRumuRai
GhOshti participation . adiyEn invites all Sri ThiruvengadamudayAN's
BhakthAs to join in the Kaimakryam and let me know about
their interests and level of participation thru pledges .

The design has been competed now at KumbakONam 
and with the availability of funds , we can start the Kaimkaryam .

As adiyEn mentioned in an earlier mail dealing with my visit
to ThiruvEngadamudayAn Sannidhi , the cost breakdown is
as follows :

1. 850 Kempu gems : ~ Rs . 80,000 ( ~ $1,775 at the rate of Rs.45 to a Dollar ).

2. Labor for construction of the three crowns : Rs. 38,000( ~850US $) .

Items 1 & 2 add up to ~2,600 plus US Dollars .

3. Gold needed : 1500 Grams  plus 10% Umisu (150 grams) : Total of 1650 Grams
     Gold is the most expensive item in this kaimakryam ; none of 
ThiruvengadamudayAn's 
     aabharaNams are made in metals other than Gold . Silver base wont do. 
Hence we have
     to stay with Gold for the base . Gold price today is Rs.600 per gram . 

Pledges of $1,000 form 25 AasthikAs or $500 from 
50 ThiruvengadamudayAn's bhkthAs or $250 from
100 devotees will cover the anticipated expenses .

Please let adiyEn know of your interests in participating
in this Kaimakaryam . AdiyEn needs only pledges 
for this 2006 Major Kaimakaryam to see if we can
have the three Kempu Kireetams ready by middle of 
2006 at the latest .adiyEn can work on the ways to
transmit these funds to India on a Tax deductible 
basis . 

This Kempu Kireetam is a set of three Kireetams 
for Malayappa Swamy and His Ubhaya NaacchiyArs 
to be readied for the BrahmOthsavam and other Uthsavams
for the year 2006 . The other two Kireetams are to be set in
Sapphire and Emerald semi precious gems . 

We have been assigned the Kempu (Dark Ruby) 
Kireetam . 

Thanks very much for your support . 
We have Kaimkarya PrApthi possibilities
to serve the Lord of Thiumalai , whom Andal
prayed to in the very first NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi .

NamO  GodhA Priya VenkatEsAya ,

Daasan , Oppiliappan KOil V.Sadagopan

P.S : The other video adiyEn saw today was : 

2005 BrahmOthsavam at Thirumala accompanied by
Srimathi MSS's rendering of Krithis on Lord VenkatEsa .
A dear Member of the Saranagathy list graciously
sent this video as a present .
