SrI:

Dear BhakthAs :

I am enclosing a very thoughtful iniitative 
envisioned by Sri SampathkumAran .

Plerase send your inputs to him directly
with copies to me.

Thank you all for your reviews and
recommendations on this important subject,
which is of concern to all of us as we
look at our emptying villages and dhivya dEsams.

V.Sadagopan 

" Dear Sriman Satagopan swamin,
Thank you for your encouraging and supportive e-mail
to our plans to serve the senior Srivaishnavites in
India. In this connection I would like to seek your
help in posting the message in our e-groups, so that I
could collect the views of our members, which would be
of great value, in working out a comprehensive plan of
incorporating the suggestions to compile a detailed
proposal to be presented to His Holiness for His
blessings and Approval.
I am sure I am not encroaching much on you with this
request.
Regards,
Dasan
Sampath Kumaran "

Note from SrIman SampathkumAran
**********************************
Dear Srivaishnava members,

Since you have been contributing a lot to the cause 
of Srivaishnavism and the community in particular I 
would like to seek your opinion and advice in the
project proposed to be undertaken.
Of late the younger generation of Sri Vaishnavites 
are forced to migrate to US, as a large group, and to
other countries for better living. It is laudable to
find that most of them continue to practise the
traditions followed by their ancestors, thanks to the
efforts taken by learned scholars and the electronic
media.

As you may be aware, many aged parents living in 
India alone need care at their old age. No doubt they
have good financial support from their children
abroad, but seek a secured living conditions as well
maintain their nitya anustanams. For specific reasons
they are not able to join their children abroad or
stay in some of the homes for Senior citizens with
cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Considering these factors formal discussions were 
made with senior Srivaishnavites like Sri SVS Raghavan
swami, to explore the possibility of running a home
to meet these demands, during one of the visits of 
His Holiness Azagiyasingar to Vishranthi, a home for
destitute women at Palavakkam, Chennai. Suggestions
were made whether such a home can be started in the
campus of the Mutt at Selayur, or any suitable
location close by. It was felt that we should have a
home free of charges for the weaker section, and one
like small cottages with minimum comforts for those
who can afford to pay a fixed initial sum and regular
monthly charges thereon. These proposals are still in
the initial discussion stage. Since it is a major
project a detailed scheme is to be worked out
including the budgetary cost, and a comprehensive
project report is to be presented to His Holiness for
His blessings and approval. The very purpose of
starting it under the guidance of the Mutt is to
maintain discipline in the functioning of the home.
In the meantime, since I am on a visit to US I thought
I could interact with the members of our groups,
living in US and seek your views in this proposed
project.

I am sure You will be able to give us your valuable
advice and suggestion for the successful
implementation of this project.

I am seeking the help of Sriman Satagopan to post this
message and give publicity to members of our groups.
For your information after retirement, I am connected
with two paid homes -run on no profit and no loss
basis - and I would very much like to contribute my
services to the cause of the senior Srivaishnavites.
You may kindly e-mail me your reply in this matter.

Dear SrIman Sampath Kumaran Swamy:

Sorry for the delay in my response to your
thoughtful proposal.

Any civilization/culture is calibrated for its
excellence by the care it shows to Children, 
Elderly and Women.

In this context , there is a lot that needs to be
done by SrI VaishNavites . It will be ideal to construct 
the places of residence for our Mothers and Sisters 
as well as for aged parents , who elect not to
travel overseas and wish to follow their aasthik way of
life close to their AchAryans and temples and who need
help at critical stages in their lives and reduce their
worries and help them live with dignity and peace of mind
among likeminded citizens.

Energetic People on ground like SrI SVS Raghavan
can be extremely helpful in such projects.

Please keep me posted.

With best wishes,
V.Sadagopan
