SrI:
 
SrImathE Ramanujaya Nama:
 
Dear Friends and Well wishers of
SrI RanganathA Temple, Pomona, NY :
 
This is a very special day .
 
(1) Today is Kaarthikai Dheepam day at
all Temples .The Param JyOthi of
the Lord is shining splendidly  
and lighting our way for the rest
of the Year .
 
(2) Today is also the day when the annual
PavithrOthsavam at SrI Ranganatha
Temple (SRT) was completed .The Agni
JwAlais from the PoorNAhUthi are
consecrating us all around and preparing
us to be engaged in services to
the Divine Couple for the coming
year  .
 
(3) Today is the day when the SRT
Capital Improvement and Expansion
project is being presented to You all
to participate as Proud Sponsors at
a number of levels .
 
Our Target is to raise Two Million
Dollars to address the many pressing 
needs of the Temple to serve its increasing
number of devotees in the most traditional
manner . 
 
The Board of Trustees of the SRT seeks Your 
generous support to raise these target figures 
to accomplish the following goals:
 
1) Weather proof the Roof and the VimAnams
to protect against the severe weather conditions
of the North Eastern region of USA .
 
2) Create living quarters for the ArchakAs
and other Temple staff close to the Temple
site and unite them with their Families here .
 
3) Modernize public areas of the temple
for the comfort and enjoyment of 
the increasing number of Visitors to
the Temple since the formal opening of
the Temple doors on May 21, 2001 .  
 
4) The current kitchen for preparing
the PrasAdhams for the Lord and
distribute those sacred offerings
to the devotees as Anna DhAnam
is bursting at seams and it needs
urgent upgrading (Stoves , Ventilation,
storage and serving areas) .
 
4) Construct additional Vaahanams for 
the   BrahmOthsavams and PakshOthsavams
( annual and seasonal celebrations) . 
 
5) Second PrAkAram is needed for
the devotees to perform their PradakshiNams
( circumambulations) and for PuRappAdu
(procession of the deities) during the Uthsavams .
 
6) Additional sannidhis ( shrines) for Lord 
Hayagreevan and Sudarsanar have to be
constructed and consecrated . 
 
7) A Library stocked with sacred books and 
CD ROMs to serve as the reference library
for instructional purposes for the devotees
and their families needs to be realized .
 
8) Now that the Bali Peetam and Dhwaja 
Sthambham ( Flag Staff) have been created ,
the construction of the Raaja Gopuram 
becomes important .This will be a major effort.
 
The central thrust of the Board of Trustees 
and Its Fund Raising Committee is to maintain
Sri Ranganatha Temple in the forefront of all
places of worship for all of You , Your Families
and friends .Let us work together to realize
this central goal .
