Dear Swamin,

I really don't understand on what basis you say that Sriperumbudur
remains as a deserted dirty dump and in a state of neglect. I have 
also been to Sriperumbudur for Swami utsavam this year which was 
celebrated in a very grand manner as before.

Right from my childhood days I have never failed to visit Swami 
Utsavam. If i could not be there for 10 days definitely I will be 
there for atleast 3 days. I can also able to visualize the 
developments that had taken place during the last five years. To name 
a few I will write certain kainkaryams that had taken place.

1. The electrical work for the entire temple was done with fixtures
and fittings. So Swami sannidhi is no more dark we had seen before 5 
years.

2. We cannot imagine the crowd visiting Swami Sannidhi for the Montly
Thirunakshatram. Monthly thirunakshatram is almost become a mini 
Chititrai Utsavam. Earlier Thirumanjanam was performed in mandapam 
near Dwajastampam whereas it has been shifted to Gayatri mandapam 
where more people can be accomodated and can have better darshan.

3. Thiruther Renovation work has started almost a decade before, but 
somehow or other it was not happening for quite long time. Nearly
30% of the work is completed and hopefully the whole work will be 
completed in another year with the Grace of Swami Emperumanar.

4. Swami sannidhi has received an Elephant, camel, cow and horse as 
donation from a sponsor with corpus fund for maintenance. It is feast 
for eyes to see Elephant, Camel etc marching in front of the Perumal 
and Swamis procession.

I humbly request you to talk only about the facts and do not provide 
any false information about Swami sannidhi.

Finally let us not involve H H Sri Varada Yatiraja Jiyar Swami in 
this issue unnecessarily.
