SrI: Dear Bhumi Devi SamEtha Sri Oppiliappan BhakthAs: Yesterday , a modest Kaimkaryam for the Dhivya Dampathis was announced . It proposed to realize the SamarpaNams of New AabharaNams for daily usage by Bhattars for alankAram . The AabharaNams to be created are three Kempu Pathakkams ( 50,000 Rs Each) and two CheNpaka Maalais ( Copper base and Gold Plating ( Rs.12,000 ) . The total coast was Rs.1,62,000 0r 1.62 laks ( ~ $ 3,700). within 24 hours of the announcement of this Kaimkaryam and inviting BhakthAs of Sri Oppiliappan to participate , 17 BhakthAs have pledged $12,289 ( 332 % more than the target figure of the modest plan ). The individual SamarpaNams in the past 24 hours have ranged from Rs.500 to $8,700 . The average samarpaNam as per appeal is $100 per participant . In between there are 300$ to 500$ samarpaNams by individual Families . It appears that , it is Bhagavaan's ThiruvuLLam that the Gold Plated Copper CheNpaka Maalais shoud be replaced with 100% GOLD MAALAIS as is the practise at His younger Brother's dhivya dEsam on top of the seven Hills, where all AabharaNams have to be made in GOLD. The total cost for the two Gold CheNpaka Maalais and 10 Kempu Pathakkams of different sizes for the Dhivya Dampathis would now be 6.1 Laks of Rupees or $13,863 ( at the rate of 44 Rs.to the Dollar) . We have pledges from 17 BhakthAs upto 540, 732 Rupees or $12,289 so far . We need additional 69256 Rs or $1574 more to reach the goals of the modified plan , where gold will replace gold plating . May I request additional BhakthAs to donate as much as they can to fill this gap of $1574 ? It can be any amount (Yathaa Sakthi) .With that support , we can offer at the sacred feet of the Lord new AabharaNams for daily use by Bhattars and for Uthsavams for a long , long time to come . This will be a life time kaimkaryam for us. Sri BhUmi Devi Sametha Sri Oppiliappan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam , Oppiliappan Koil V. Sadagopan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
