Dear Shri Thirunarayanan Swamy Iyengar swamin,
 
Your write up about Oppiliappan Sravana Kainkaryam was interesting.
Shriman Dr V Sadagopan, who helped you to get madappalli vessels is a retired executive of IBM, and now based in US. He is instrumental for many a Kainkaryam that take place through out the world. He is also a scholar, philosopher and an authority on Shrivaishnavam. Under his able guidance, we
have set up a trust namely "Thirunangur Divyadesa Rakshana Trust". The main aims of the trust are,  Ensuring 4 kala Aradhanams, Adhearing to temple time schedules, Cleanliness both interiors and exteriors of Divyadesams and Maintaining good Nandavanams. Presently we have taken up the above kainkaryams in Vaikundha Vinnagaram, Arimeya Vinnagaram and Semponsai Kovil of Thirunangur. I would like to invite you along with your friends to join us in these kainkaryams. You may contact me for further details.
 
Regards,

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama
 
I would like to introduce myself as S.Thirunarayanan.  I belongs to Karappangadu near Mannargudi.
 
By Oppliappan Grace, I am regularly going to Oppiliappan Koil for every Sravanam day.  This is not done by me.  There is a wonderful story behind it.
 
I was working in TVS.  I had 90 days Compensatory Off in my record.   Our top official was insisting me to clear all the C-off immediately.  I told them it will be empty soon.  I had a plan to go to Tirumala very frequently.  Because my father was in Athyananda Kankaryam (near Kulashekarapadi) both perumal Sannathi and Peria Jeer Mutt. 
 
What Oppilippan did for me:
 
While I proceeding towards Thirunangoor 11 Garudaseva alongwith  my  mother,                  mother-in-law and brother-in-law, a gentleman(stranger)  came from the next bogie and told me to go to Oppilippan for 5 sravanams.  I do not know the person.  He also does not know about me.  This is the beginning stage to go to Oppiliappan (From March 1993 - 100th year Thirunangur Garuda Sevai).  By his grace till now I will be at Oppiliappan sannadhi.
 
My interesting role in any divyasthalam is Madapalli Kainkaryam / sannadhi parcharagam only. Oppiliappan - Thanthanan thanathal Nizhale - Alwar Sol.   The same anugraham for me also.  A devotee in U.S.A. by Name Dr.Sadagopan has helped me in purchasing vessels for Madapalli.  Fortunately, the devotee is well known person to my Vice President (Oppiliappankoil native person).
 
There are three kainkaraparars :  1. Swamy carrying Samprani Chetti, 2.Swamy carrying Hanumar Big Val Dheepam  3. Swamy carrying Oppiliappan Aganda Deepam.  After AARATHI AT MOOLAVAR SANNADHI all the 3 swamies will go around the temple.
 
Nearly 1000 bhakthas sitting around the praharam for prasadam.  Pulihorai and Thadhi Annam were only distributed.  After that as perumal wish, Kadhambam is being prepared alongwith Karuppu Ulundu Vadai and Payasam.  
 
The above prasadam is prepared only from Bhakthasas contribution.   Unknowingly, they come forward to help to prepare above prasadams.  During Sahasranama Archanai, 12 padi Sakaraipongal will be prepared and distributed by the above swamis separately.  Swamy No.2 will contribute for Thathiannam, Karuppu Ulundu Vadam (big) and Payasam. 
 
We are the persons of 6 (my brother-in-law and four others alongwith me - will go and do kainkaryam on Sravanam day and will be leaving Oppiliapppn koil on the same day for the next duty at chennai.
 
Only Panguni Sravanam, we will stay one day extra because a Thirumanjanam for Moolavar and thiruvadi Thirumanjanam for Ponnappan and Boomidevi Thayar, Ramar, Lakshmanar, Seethai and Hanumar, Swami Desikan in a big and grand scale.
 
Every Sravanam and thirumanjanam will be done by Swamy No.2  Hanumar Val Deepam - Mr Ravichandran who is working in City Union Bank, Thiruvarur.  His father was doing the Sravana Deepam.  After his father have gone to Paramapadam, Perumal has given the rights to his son Ravichandran.

1. Rice (nearly 80-100 measures) depending on the rush.
