Dear SrI Ranganatha BhakthAs:

 A native of Srirangam residing in USA is offering
 a SamarpaNam of a special AabharaNam known as
 Paandiyan Kondai for the Uthsavar of Lord Ranganaatha
 at the Pomona , NY Sri Ranganatha temple .

 The occasion is the upcoming Thiru Adhyayana Uthsavam
 at the Temple this Month ( Dec 20-27 ).

 Paandyan Kondai is a pearl embroidered crown originally offered by
 a Paandya King to Lord Ranganatha at Srirangam fewcenturuies ago .
 The jewelery experts in Srirangam , who create AabharaNams
 for Lord Ranganatha have crafted this new AabharaNam for
 our Lord Ranganatha here at Pomona , NY.

 It is a Mutthu Kondai witha  particular geomentry
 associated with Paandya Kings .

 Would anyone planning to travel from India to USA
 contact me or Sriman A.M.R.Kannan (kamr@xxxxxxx)
 for transporting this new AabharaNam from India to USA for
 presentation to the Lord  as  Swamy  NammAzhwAr's Samarpanam
 on to His Moksham day ( Dec 27) ?. Currently , this aabharaNam is at
 Chennai for pick up and hand carrying . It is not big sized.
 It has to be brought as a household pooja item .

 The original note from the devotee is attached .

 Please contact me ASAP.
 Many Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
 on transportation of this Paandyan Kondai form
 India to here during the next few days to arrive in time for
 the Dec 27 (Swamy  NammAzhwAr Moksham day ).

 The RanganAtha PaadhukA MahA Manthram celebrating
 the glory  of thr peals is:

 BhaddhAnAm yathra nithyAnAm mukthAnAmIswarasya cha
 prathyaksham Sesha-seshithvam Saa mE siddhyathu paadhukA

 Here the Lord being the Sarva Swamy and Seshi for all
 three kinds of Jeevans : Bhaddha ( bound to SamsAram ),
 Muktha ( liberated ones ) and NithyAs ( eternally liberated
 nithya sooris) is the focus. The prayer is for the boon of
 unlimited Bhakthi to Lord RanganAtha.The pearls are
 AzhwAr Paasurams for which the Lord of Srirangam is
 SeshabhUthar or undeer their svaadhInam ( control).

 adiyEn concludes this request for help to transport
 this new Paandyan Kondai for Lord RanganAtha here
 with the final slOkam of MukthA Paddhathi :

 RangEsa CharaNa rakshA Saa mE vidhadhAthu Saasvatheem Suddhim
Yanmoukthika PrabhAbhi: SvEthadhvipamiva SahyajAdhvIpam

 --50th slOkam of MukthA Paddhathi

 (meaning) : May the PaadhukAs of Lord Ranganatha
 adorned by pearls bless me permanently freedom from
 all sins ! The lustre of the radiant white pearls on the Paadhuka
 ( and in thius instanc e, the perals in the crown of the Lord)
 makes the island continent in between two rivers
 a veritable SvEtha DhvIpam ( the radiant white continent where
 the bhakthAs of Lord RanganAtha enjoy His darsanam directly).
