Dear Bhagavatas:
Here is an appeal from Sri Narasimhan Chakravarthy. 
It is presumed that he has taken into account the guidelines 
contained in "Sri Ranga Sri" Vol.3 / Issue 21 regarding 
appeals for fund raising.

===================================================


srimathe ramanujaya nama:
srimath vara vara munaye nama:

yonithyamachutha padambuja yugma rugma 
vyamohatha stathirani trunaya mene
asmath guror bagavathosya dhyaykasindho:
ramanujasya charanao charanam prapathye.

dear baghavathas,


please read this appeal with patience.

Every one in the srivaishnava religion knows about the
importance of the padaravindham of emperumaan and
aacharyas.it has been enlightened by many of our
acharyas especially by swami vedhanthacharyar where
swami wrote a unique kavi namely padhuka sahasram.

Emperumaans padharavidham (thiruvadinilaigal) is
called the "sataari"(srisadakopan) and swami
nammaazwars padhuka is called "ramanujan"(except in
azhwar thirunagari where it is called "madhurakavikal"
in due respect given to the eleventh azhwar who had
nammazhwar himself as his perumaal).Emperumanaars
padhuka is called "mudaliyandaan" and the lineage
continues till our swacharya.

This letter is to collect money from the srivaishnavas
residing in US to make a "swarna mudaliyaandaan" for
swami udayavar in Triplicane sri Parthsarathi swamy
kovil(which has the speciality of having five
perumaals in one temple and utsavams almost thruough
out the year).This holy task is taken up by the
UDAYAVAR KAINKARYA SABHA a very old sabha in
triplicane which is dedicated to swami udayavar in the
temple and which has done a lot of kainkaryams and
aabharanams for swami udayavar over the years by
collecting donations from the aastiga mahajanathaar
and srivaishnavas( anjali hastam,hasti
kreetam,kalizahitha tridhandam,nithyapati tridhandam
,kal vaitha yagyopaveetham are to name a few )

Why Triplicane?lets see.

According to pillailogham jeeyar swami who wrote the
divya charithai on Ramanuja says "Ramanujas father and
mother kesava aasuri and kanthimathi ammangaar came to
riplicane and did puthrakamesti yaagam on the banks of
the holy water kairavini(thiru alli keni) for a son to
uphold their family virtues.Emperumaan Parthsarathy
himself blessed the couple in thier dreams and said
"it is not enough that i did geethopadesam but i need
to write a bashyam for that so that whole world gets
fructified by that.For that i myself will be born to
you as swami" In that ideeham that perumaal
(ggethacharyan)himself is born as swami emperumanaar
In triplicane swami emperumanaar has the festivals on
equal footing with the perumaal

That includes ten day annual thirunakshatra (chitirai
thiruvaadhirai)festival with thani purapaadu both
mornings and evenings,special thirupaavai
saathumurai,kanaadi arai sevai (usually it will be
only for perumaal),vidayathu utsavam,mandakapadi in
gangai kondaan mandapam,vahana saathupadi etc. for
these festivals , maasa thirunakshatra utsavams and
also on panguni utram when swami recited the
gadhyatrayam.

All these festives are for emperumaanaar only and for
no other aazhwaar or acharyar in this temple.The
mangalasaasana sevai every evening needs a thousand
eyes to see with swami having a gold plated
kutai,visiri samaram and kattiyams at various 
emperumaan sanidhi by the kattiyam karar.All these
festival kainkaryams are done by the UDAYAVAR
KAINKARYA SABHA in triplicane.

Last year this sabha presented to the temple NaNMUTHU
KONDAI for swami udayavar which is the latest of this
sabha's kainkaryam.

There was a long felt feeling in the sabha that our
swami Udayavar should also have "swarna
mudaliyaandaan" as like perumaal who has "swarna
srisadagopam" himself.The sabha has made a theermanam
stating that a swarna mudaliyandaan will be made by
collecting donations from all asthiga janathaar
srivaishnavaas and will be donated to the kovil with
due respect .The total cost estimated for the swarna
mudaliyandaan is 4 lakhs rupees.

The foto of the Mudaliyaandaan which will be submitted
will be sent to all the donors.

I invite all Ramanusanadiyaargal to donate towards
this kainkaryam and send your donations to

"Sri udayavar Kainkarya sabha"
new no:2 Arumugam lane,
Triplicane,
Chennai-600005
INDIA

the cheques or DDs can be drawn in favor of 
"Sri udayavar Kainkarya sabha".Proper receipt will be
mailed back as and when the dd/cheque reaches the
sabha by the secretary of the sabha.I request the
donors to clearly give the addresses so that the
receipts can be mailed back with out trouble.

I would like to request the moderator of this group
to pass on this appeal to all the related groups so
that everyone will be notified of this kainkaryam.

sriman maha boothapure srimathkesava yajvana:
kanthimadhyam prasoothaya ethirajayamangalam

srimathe ramyajamatru muneendraya mahatmane 
sriranga vsineer booyaath nithya sri nithya mangalam


adiyen ramanuja dasan,
Ashtagothram Nallan Chakravarthy Narashiman.
