*************************************************************************************************************
The ways for SishyAs to support Srimad Azhagiya Singar & SrI Matam Kaimkaryams
on anongoing basis
*********************************************************************************
 
Number of you have asked me how to support Sri Matam's activities on a long term basis in addition to supporting special events . Here are some suggestions :
 
(1) Dawn to Dusk sponsorship daily for the three AarAdhanams for MalOlan , TadhyArAdhanam and  Bikshai for Srimad Azhagiya Singar. The three AarAdhanams are (a) abhigamanam soon after dawn done by Srimad Azhagiya Singar (b) Ijyai at Noon done by Sannidhi AarAdhakar and (c) Paanaka AarAdhanam at dusk by the sannidhi
AarAdhakar . 
 
One Family can support all of the above Kaimkaryams for a day ; the estimated total cost is 10,000 Rs ( $200) per day on week days ; during the week ends and DhvAdasi days , lot more sishyAs visit the Matam and therefore the sponsorship cost would be Rs.15,000 ($300) to accomodate the expanded TadhiyArAdhanams . 
 
The expenses for the Abhigamanam , Ijyai and Paanaka AarAdhanams are Rs.3,000 , Rs.5,000 and Rs.2,000 respectively adding upto Rs.10,000 for one day sponsorship of all the three AarAdhanams and the day's TadhiyArAdhanam .
 
You can select any day in the year that is important to you such as your birthday ,
Wedding anniversary , Children's/wife's birthdays , Parent's ShastiyaBdhi and SatAbhishEkams , SamAsraya/BharanyAsam anniversaries of anyof the Family members et al .
 
All the funds donated to Sri Matam both here (overseas) and India are Tax deductible . Electronic transfer of funds are possible . Please refer to Srimatam home pages for executing such automated bank transfers:
 
 
2) Veda PaarAyaNam on EkAdasi-DhvAdasi days ( 26 sets per year)
 
$80 is the sponsorship amount needed for Veda ViNNappam for Malolan on these special days of the year . Sponsorships are open from 2009 Sri VaikunTha EkAdasi.
 
3) Svathi Thirumanjanams for MalOLan & Doali KaNNan
 
$125 is the sponsorship amount needed for each of these sacred Thirumanjanams . The first available sponsorship date is Novemebr 2009 .
 
4) Annual ChAthurmAsyam : 60 days of ChArhurmAsyam have been covered by
Sri Matam SishyAs every year for the Past four years . The opportunities for sponsorship for one or more days will continue in 2009 and beyond as well . 
July middle to September Middle is the ChAthurmAsyam period.  
 
5) Membership for the two Sri Nrisimha PriyA Journals
 
The monthly journals of Sri Matam are in Tamil and English . The Tamil version goes back to 1942 and the English version was started in the year 2001. The annual
subscription fees are $50 each and you can enroll from the Ahobila Matam Home Pages . A DVD consisting of all issues from 1945-2005 is available for you to acquire and the DVD Version of the English Version will be released on DEc 7,2008 . Please
contact adiyEn , if you wish to acquire these DVDs .
 
6) The Granite acquaduct to bring BhavanAsini Water to upper Ahobilam : The funds have been assembled for completion of this Kaimkaryam .
 
7) VedAnta VaavadhUka Villivalam Sriman NaarAyaNAcchAr Swamy Trust:
Villivalam Periya Swamy is the other name for Sriman NaarAyaNAcchAr Swamy ,
who played key role in advancing the mission and goals of Sri Matam . He is the PoorvAsrama JyEshta BrAthA of prakrutham Srimad Azhagiya Singar . Every year ,
his Thirunakshatram is celebrated and a Vidvat Sadas is assembled to honor his memory . Please contact adiyEn , if you wish to support this annual Kaimkaryam .  
 
A sapraNAma Vijn~Apanam
 
adiyEn would like to recommend a set amount of support funds by the sishyAs on behalf of their families ( automatic transfers from your account to a special account
managed by Ahobila Matam NA) as a core fund to cover the many expenses of SrI
Matam associated with the daily AarAdhanams and special events each year .
 
Those who are interested to set up such accounts are requested to write to me so that adiyEn or one of the Board Members of Ahobila Matam NA more knowledgable than me can help you initiate such arrangements fitting your preferences .Phala
MantrAkshatai form Srimad Azhagiya Singar will be sent directly to you after
the conclusion of the sponsored events .
 
In conclusion , adiyEn can state without any doubt that the MahOpakAram of our
AchAryan to all of us can not be repaid at all . The least we can do is to reduce
the burden of our AchAryans' awesome  responsibilities as He maintains rigorously the high standards of AchAram , AnushtAnam and AarAdhanam every day in his own tireless manner .
 
Please take an active part in sponsoring the daily AarAdhanams at Sri Matam
thru your welcome  support of anyone of the above activities . Please contact
adiyEn , if you have any questions on the suggested methodology .
