SrI:
Dear Nrusimha BhaktAs : It is wonderful to read about the
spirited responses to the Rope way construction
Kaimkaryam proposal by a
devotee to help the elderly to access this dhivya desam's Nava Narasimhar
Sannidhis in the hills of Ahobilam . The problems with this
kaimkaryam have been well debated .Concerns about mass tourism to
this sacred area have been clearly articulated . As the dharma
karthA/NirvAhakar of these shrines , Srimad Azhagiya Singar has the last say on
the need for any such kaimkaryams . With great care for the needs of the many
visitors of the sacred hills of Ahobilam , the current
Jeeyar
has completed many
initiatives sofar .
There are many kaimkaryams
initiated and completed by the current Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam
, Sri Narayana Yatheendhra MahA Desikan to make it easier for devotees to
access the difficult terrain of Ahobilam to worship at the Nava
Narasimhar Temples . There are number
of ongoing Kaimakryams at Ahobilam to enhance the comfort
of
sevaarthees and maintain the
sanctity of these shrines about which Thirumangai AzhwAr
performed His MangalAsAsanam . AzhwAr's wonderous anubhavam
is covered in a special ebook that the Ahobilavalli group released
recently :
It is the 50th ebook
in the above series , where
Thirumangai Mannan describes
wonderously the beauty of the dhivya dEsam and His extraordinary
anubhavam of trekking thru the
virgin forests and fierce mountains , where
the Lord has taken His abode
.
Sriamth Azhagiya Singar has
created a 11 acre site at a distance from PrahlAdha Varadhan sannidhi
called Nava Narasimhapuram to help
future SevArthees further . The first
wing has just been opened . The
permission from the Government and the steps to taken to assure
the pristine nature of the
terrain around have
been hall marks of the
sensitive construction that one
has to remember
.
The Svathi committe blessed by
Srimath Azhagiya Singar is organizing Thirumanjanams at
all the nine sannidhis every month and helping devotees to
visit the Kshetram the year around . The 125th Svathi AarAdhanam was completed
last week at Ahobilam .
The boarding and lodging facities
at Lower Ahobilam have been improved significantly .
It is still a fragile system that
can not accomodate tourists/devotees en masse as at Thirumala
. Supply of water , overnight lodging facilities
and availability
of PrasAdhams are serious issues to contend with
while enhancing the
flow of more devotees .
In the tradition of Ahobila Matam
, any one who visits are blessed with Bhagavad OrasAdhams
.
One of the current kaimkaryams ,
where you can &should participate ,
is assuring steady year round
water supply for the various sacred rites including Thitumanjanam for
the Sannidhis at the Ahobilam hills. The sacred Bhavanasini
river is the source and this river's flow has been dwindling over the
years and Srimath Azhagiya Singar has initiated a project to bring
down water from the upper ahobilam
thru granite pipes .
Approximately 1200 stone units are needed
at a cost of Rs.1,000 each .
Devotees of Nava Narasimha can help realize this project quickly
. Please contact adiyEn if you wish to join in this Kaimkaryam
.
Sofar only 70 stones out of the
1200 have been pledged by
overseas SishyAs and
abhimAnis of Ahobila Matam.
The sheer majesty and beauty of
the Ahobilam hills is indescribable .The Ahobilavalli Kaimkaryam group
has tried to create a virtual tour of this terrain , where the Nava
Narasimhars have taken their abode and are recieving AarAdhanam from
Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
