Respected Madam Ji,

My humble namaskaram to your good self. Trust this mail finds your goodselfin 
pink of health.At the outset let me thank your kind help.I had petitioned 
Hon'ble CM of TN, for helping my family friends mother for family pension which 
she did not receive for the past 8 months . Your action under theHon'ble CM's 
instruction vide Chief Minister's Special Cell Ref.No.347086 dated 06.09.2002 
is commendable . The action is triggered and to cover up the deficiency 
officials have sent fresh set of form for life certificate and asked her to 
fill and return it back thus seemingly cover up the deficiency in efficiency. I 
am sure you will get the poor souls blessings.

Madam I am sending a yet another mail to Hon,ble CM of TN separately and i am 
sure as usual you will help me .The gist is a apachara meted out to H H Srimath 
Srimooshnam Andavan of Srimath Srirangam Andavan Aasharam who is a head of the 
age old Vaishnava Mutt in our India. I am attaching a mail received from 
Sriman.P.Dileepan-USA who is a member of our religious e group.Then I visited 
the site of Times of India and the article which came in website is reproduced 
below . Aunty the Apachara caused to Great Acharya is highly condemnable . The 
concerned Official should be pulled up, Sent for re-orientation course and also 
sent to a place on posting where he will not haveany contact with Civilization. 
A bad mole brings a lot of bad name for us in Foreign country.

I am sure Justice will be done. I know Hon'ble CM will be pre-occupied withthe 
burning Issue of Cauvery, but i request you to kindly take the matter to CM ji 
and do the needful .


With Warmest Regards,
L.Sridhar.

Pontiff alleges insult to him in Kanchi temple

PTI [ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 05, 2002 10:12:41 PM ]
             
KANCHIPURAM: A visit to this holy city by Srimad Rangaramanuja Andavan 
Swamigal, head of the centuries old Srimad Andavan Mutt in Srirangam, which 
usually passes off unnoticed by the laity, has this time generatedcontroversy.


The Andavan Mutt has been closely associated with the traditions of the 
Varadarajaswami temple here since the time of Saint Ramanuja.


The pontiff visited the Varadarajaswamy temple on Thursday, andon Friday night 
he called the press and announced that an insult had been meted out to him in 
the temple.


He said the traditional privilege of offering 'panchamudra' (touching the 
forehead and arms of the devotee five times with the crown of the lord by the 
temple priest) was refused to him expressly. He said this refusal came as an 
oral instruction from the temple 'manikkarar' (officer).


"The temple priests expressed to me their regret at such an order which they 
agreed was irregular but still had to obey," the pontiff said. 


The pontiff said the Supreme Court had clearly defined that customs and 
practices must be followed strictly in anciet temples.


"But contradicting such court orders, today all customs and practices are given 
the go by. The officials misuse their powers and extend honours 
indicriminately," he said.


The matter has been referred to the HR and CE commissioner, he said.
