SrI:
 
Dear SrI Nrusimha BhakthAs :
 
Back in 1909 C.E,SrI ParaankuSa Yatheendhra  Mahaa Desikan was the 39th PeetAdhipati of SrI Matam . He was from UruppattUr Chakravarti Vamsam serving Sri Raaja-gOpAlan at the abhimAna sthalam of Raaja MannArgudi . He was initiated into SanyAsAsramam by HH the 38th Pattam Azhagiya Singar revered as Thirukkudanthai Azhagiya Singar.Aasrama SveekAram for the 39th Pattam Srimad Azhagiya Singar took place in May 1909 at Nrusimhapuram ,where five Azhagiya Singars have their BrundhAvanams today.
 
HH  the 39th Pattam Srimad Azhagiya Singar had only six years of AastAna NirvAhaka Kaalam . Number of Kaimkaryams during His reign stand out such as the building the MannArgudi SrI Matam , construction of the northeren rampart of
ThiruveLLUr Temple and most importantly , the construction of the Silver Mantapam for Maalolan ,where we have the darsanam even today of MaalOlan ,
Dolai KaNNan and many Murthys worshipped there by all ther poorvAchAryAs of SrI Matam . 
 
HH the 45th Pattam Azhagiya Singar , the current PeetAdhipati , SrI Narayana Yatheendhra Maha Desikan has taken the sankalpam to present Malolan , Dolai KaNNan and all the Murtys with a Golden Mantapam in response to the niyamanam of MaalOlan. This Kaimakryam like all other Kaimakryams initiated by this Azhagiya Singar is progressing rapidly and MaalOlan might be ready for enjoying His Gruha PravEsam at His Nootana Mantapam during Srimad Azhagiya Singar's 82nd Thiru Nakshatra Utsavam in December 2008 . As SishyAs , we have two and half months' time now to join in this new Kaimkaryam of samarpaNam of Golden Mandapam  as the abode for the future nityArAdhanam for Malolan , Dolai KaNNan and other Murthys.
 
Let us focus now on the importance of Gold in worship of the Lord . Let us start with Pushpams used in AarAdhanam . Bhagavan is immensely pleased with PushpAnjali . Vidvan Sri U.Ve. PerukkaraNai ChakravartAchArya Swamy observes in this context : " There are ofcourse gradations in the flowers that we use in daily worship . It is said that Utpala , a type of Lotus,has a special significance and Padmam , red Lotus , ranks higher . Then there are Lotuses with hundred petals and those with thousand petals. White Lotus and TuLasi are said to be far superior to all these . Gold Flowers (SvarNa Pushpams) are considered to be even more superior to all of the above flowers as the Lord Himself has declared :
 
"sarvEshAmEva PushpANAm
sahasraguNamuttamam 
tasmAt Padhmam tathA
raajan PadhmAttu Satapatrakam
tasmAt sahasrapatram tu
tuLasee guNatodhikA
bakapushpam tatastu syAt 
sauvarNam tathOdhikam
sauvarnaaccha parasoonAt tu
matpriyam nAsti PaaNdava " 
--BhagavAn KrishNa 
 
Lord states here that PushpAnjali/Archana with golden ( Kaanchana) pushpams is the most pleasing to Him.Tapta Kaanchanam ( Molten Gold) is the color of Mahaa Lakshmi . No wonder that the Lord is reminded of Her as the bhakthan worships with Golden Flowers . 
 
When the bhaktan has at his disposal Eight different kinds of flowers (Spiritual Flowers) as well and worships on top with the golden flowers , there is nothing more superior that pleases the Lord.
 
What are these Eight Spiritual Flowers ? They are : Ahimsaa ( non violence),
Indhriya nigraham( control of senses) ,sarvabhUta Dayaa ( Compassion towards
all) , Kshamaa( patience & Forbearance) ,Jn~Ana( Knowledge of Bhagavath sAstrams) ,Tapas( Penance and Austerity) , DhyAnam ( Meditation on the Lord) and Satyam ( adherence to the truth at all times) . 
 
Srimad Azhagiya Singar as a pioneering example of SadAchAryans has all these 
eight spiritual flowers as His wealth. He uses in addition 108 svarNa Pushpams
in His daily abhigamana AarAdhanam of MalOla Narasimhan seated on His golden swing with all His gem studded Golden AabharaNams . MalOlan , Dolai KaNNan and many Archaa Murthys as well as previous Azhagiya Singars are enoying the AarAdhanam by Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar in the Silver Mantapam presented by HH the 39th Pattam Srimad zhagiya Singar in the year 1909 C.E.
 
For almost 100 years , the Silver Mantapam presented by HH the 39th Pattam Srimad Azhagiya Singar has been the site of AarAdhanam of MalOlan . In front of this Silver Mantapam is laid out on DhvAdasi days , the silver Paadhukais of the 44 Jeeyars that have adorned the Peetam of Ahobila Matam . Paadhuka Tirumanjanam is perfromed and Sri Paadha Teertam is distributed then to sishyAs . At the end of the abhigamana AarAdhanam , the MaalOla Paadhukaa Sevakar , Srimad Azhagiya Singar goes around the Silver Mantapam (PradakshiNam) and then prostrates in front of Maalolan seated inside the Silver Mantapam .
 
Every thing , every activity revolves thus around the Silver Mantapam at SrI Matam. During early December 2008 , the focus will shift to the new Golden Mantapam .
 
After almost 100 years of residence in the Silver Mantapam , MaalOla Narasimhan
has decided to recieve the present of a Golden Mantapam as His new , preferred
residence . MalOlan's sankalpam has been communicated to Srimad Azhagiya Singar and the work is underway to construct this Gold Mantapam .
 
The Teak base , the copper claddings have been completed now . The gold plates have to be added . Ten Kilos of Gold are needed to complete the construction of this Golden Mantapam for MaalOlan's residence . This kaimkaryam has been spearheaded by Sriman Ramani , the President of the Chembur Mutt and it will be our bhAgyam to assist him to fulfill the wishes of Srimad Azhagiyasingar.
 
Tax deductible samarpaNams can be made both in USA and in India for the participants in this Mahaa Kaimakryam .You can consider pledges in units of $275 for 10 grams of Gold or whatever you could consider as Your samarpaNam .
 
With all of your support , this kaimakryam should conclude successfully .
 
Please let adiyEn know about your participation nd adiyEn will standby to help in whichever way I can .
