Halo,
Thanks to fellow srivaishnavites for sharing the pictures from the holy event.
Very hard to understand why an utsavam which has been happening in a grand manner for a decade, was reported to have been without a sponsor.
Thanks to Srivathsan swami for taking the efforts to find out the truth and sharing it with us.
Regards,

I forwarded the mail about Pancha samskara utsavam at Madurantakam to my colleague who is one of the trustees which is undertaking to perform the utsavam every year for the last few years. He felt that what is stated in the mail below quoting the Bhattachariar saying that there is no sponsor incorrect and has given his rejoinder which is just below. I am forwarding the same to our group at his request.
S.Srivathsan

I would like to bring the following fact relating to this subject to all the devotees.
The Panchasamaskara Uthsavam is celebrated in a grand and befitting manner at Madurantakam Temple, solely and exclusively (as a Ubhayadhar) by Sri POONDI BADRI NARAYANAN and Sri POONDI RAVI NARAYANAN, who are in Bangalore, for more than ten years, through SPPTK Trust. There is no struggle or difficultiy in conducting this festival as stated in this mail by Sri Rangarajachar Bhattar.
This is for kind information of all the devotees.

Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
Swamin,
Pranams.
Today is Avani Sukla paksha Panchami. Bhagavad Bashyagara Swamy had his Pancha Samaskaram by Swami Periya Nambigal at Dvyam vilantha Tirupati - Madurantakam.
We had the bhagyam of having darshan, mangalasasanam of Acharyas at Chakravarthi Thirumagan, Janagavalli Thayar, Andal, Vishvaksenar, Kannan, Lakshmi Nrusimhar, Sudarsanar, Azhavars and bagumanam to Swami Desikan Sannidhi in the temple.
We have uploaded the pictures for the benefit of Bhagavadas and Sri Vaishnavas world wide. http://picasaweb. google.com/ asuri.ranga/ PanchaSamaskaraU tsavam08#
Several Bhagavadas, Scholars and sthalathars including Pudukottai U.Ve. Seshadi Swami and others participated in this great utsavam.
However, according to Sri U.Ve.
Rangarajachar swami (+91 98429 09880), Bhattachar of the temple, this utsavam is not having any sponsors and they are struggling to get it organized. Even the place where Swami Bashyagarar and Swami Periya Nambigal are having theethavari in the tank is very dirty, abused and filthy. From next year onwards, performing this utsavam in a grand manner is the responsibility of all of us and the same is felt by Sri Vaishnavas assembled there. Couple of them pledged some support also.
May I request you to be in touch with Sri Rangarajachar swami or inform me through email so that I can inform Swami to do something worthwhile on this auspicious occasion.
Adiyen beg to pardoned for causing trouble.
