Dear Bhaagavatas

Please see the query of Pasdmakant posted separately.

As the saying ghoes, "Koil illaa ooril kuDi irukka vENDaam", there is 
nothing wrong in constructing new temples. In fact, when I first came 
to the US way back in the 1980s, perhaps, the only temple known was 
that of Pittsburgh Sri Venkateswara Temple. Today, temples have 
cropped up in almost every county (equivalent to municipality in 
India) satisfying the spiritual aspirations of local communities.

Having said that, I agree with Padmakant and feel that instead of 
engaging on constructing newer temples, our FIRST PREFERENCE should 
be to devote our attention to numerous Divyadesams consecrated by 
Azhwar saints but which are today languishing for funds even for 
Vastram, Deepam and Neivedhyam etc not to speak of Nitya Araadhana 
and Desaantri feeding in such temples. 

In the recent past, as directed by asmad Acharyan, Srimad Andavan, 
Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam, I have renovated the Dwajasthambam 
with copper plating and Red Oxide coating et al, of Tiru Anbil temple 
and arranged for distribution of Desaantri prasadams for devotees 
visiting the temple from far off places.

I have already identified at least 5 or 6 such Divyadesams and posted 
in the Internet groups and I am donating the entire sale proceeds of 
books published by me to this noble cause.

Renovation of Brindavans, raising funds for routine events like 
Chaturmasyams etc.which are common to Acharyas of all Mutts and 
Ashramams (worthy by themselves), may be put on the backburner 
AT LEAST FOR NOW UNTIL THE NEGLECTED DIVYADESAMS ARE RESTORED TO 
THEIR ORIGINAL GLORY.
