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.
