Srimathe Raamaanujaaya Namaha

Dear Bhaagavadhotthamaas,
It is so nice to hear that there are so many, to contribute to our 
divyadesa kainkaryams. I wanted to bring something to the notice of 
all those who are interested in divyadesa kainkaryam. Recently I had 
been to Thirukkudandhai and the near by divyadesams. One of them was 
Naathan Koil(Nandipura Vinnagaram?). When I went to the kovil, I was 
speechless. The perumal was so adorable and beautiful! alas! There 
was no one to even enjoy his beauty. The temple had no one and there 
was one sincere archakar who came upon request to show the aarathi. 
And this archakar, (I guess should be a dear friend of perumal and 
hence influenced by him) did not expect anything(money or anything 
literally) from us and was showing the aarathi and giving us the 
theerttham with the mindset of perumal kainkaryam. Tears rolled out 
of my eyes seeing this. There was no paricharakar for the temple and 
perumal is not served food at all. This only archakar gets some Rs. 
1200 as his monthly salary and THAT IS IT. I heard that Vaanamaamalai 
matam is taking care of this temple's brahmotsavam and other utsavams 
in a regular fashion. But, I still feel, the temple doesn't have fund 
source for the Nithya Aaradhanam(thrikaala sandhi etc). The kovil was 
big and the prakaraams were so huge and nice. And the perumal, no 
wonder azhwar sang "Nandipura Vinnagaram Nannu Maname!", was so 
adorable. I came back home with a heavy heart. But, almost forgot 
this incident(my sincere apologies) due to personal reasons and got 
reminded of the same today. I don't know how to make the situation 
better in the temple, but if there is a way to do it, please let me 
know and I would be glad to join hands with anyone and contribute to 
my best for getting this temple back to its original state.

Yatheendra Pravanam Vandhe RAMYA Jaamaataram Munim

Adiyen Raamaanuja Daasan,
Lakshmi Narasimhan
