*************************************************************************************************************
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

6) The Granite acquaduct to bring

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 .
