SrI:
 
SrI Lakshmi Nrusimha ParabrahmaNE Nama:
 
Dear SrI Nrusimha BhakthAs :
 
We have now clear estimates from SrI Ahobila Matam
itself on the Cost for reconstruction and consecration of
the SrI Paadhukais of PoorvAchAryAs of SrI Matam
going back to 608 years of glorious SrI VaishNavite
History .
 
The estimated amount is $450 per a set of
AchArya Paadhukais or 20,000 Rs  .
 
Each PaadhukA of the Twin set would need Rs.8,500
for purchasing 1 KIlo of Silver  . The Silver purchase
alone will then be Rs.17,000 and the rest is Labor for
skillful reconstrcuction by Silver Smiths . It is possible that
a Ruby might be placed on the Kumizhis ( Toe holds)
to symbolize the AchAryA's dispelling the ajn~Anam of
the SamsAris from near and far .
 
So far 5 of the remaining 41 AchArya PaadhukAs
have been FULLY spoken for :
 
1. First Pattam : Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar (adiyEn
has the BhAgyam to be accepted as a sponsor) .
 
2. Second Pattam : SrI NaarAyaNa Yahteendhra
MahA Desikan ( First of the 8 Azhagiya Singars
having SrIman NaarAyaNa Naamam as SanyAsis) :
A devout Sishyar from Illinois , USA belonging originally
to ThirukkalyANapuram is sponsoring this set .
 
3. Sixth Pattam :  SrI Shashta ParAnkusa Yatheendhra
MahA Desikan , who entered the Ahobilam Cave to
perform AarAdhanam for SrI Lakshmi Nrusimhan .
The year was 1513 C.E and His AarAdhanam
continues even today . This AchAryan's Paadhukais
are sponsored by a sishyar of Ahobila Matam  from
SrI Ranganatha Temple , NY .
 
4 .The 7th Pattam : Spoken for by a devotee from India.
 
5. The 40th Pattam or the 41st Pattam : sponsored by
another sishyar of SrI Matam from SrI RanganAtha
Temple , who works in New York .
 
6. The Paadhukais of the 42nd , 43rd and 44th Pattams
have already been constructed and are in daily use for
PaadhukA AarAdhanam and SrI Paadha Theertham .
 
7. There are Partial sponsorships for the 27th Pattam
Azhagiya Singar ( Andal Amsam ) and the Third Azhagiya
Singar so far ( From devotees in Canada and London ,  UK).
 
We have now the great bhAgyam of renovating
the AchArya SrI Paadhukais of following Pattams
so that they can continue to serve as Jn~Ana
dheepams for centuries :
 
1. 4th and the 5th Pattams( 2)
 
2. 8th to 40th Pattams ( 33 )
 
All contributions towards this project are
Tax deductible both in India and USA .

in this MahA Kaimkaryam and to identify
yourself with the sole or partial sponsorship
of one or more PaadhukAs of SrImath
Azhagiya Singars of illustrious Vaibhavams .
