Sri U.VE. RANJAN SWAMI,
Please note that there is only a few families' members are archagas in srirangam temple, invariable of Perumal Sannithi, Thayar, Chakkarathalwar, Singa perumal or Uraiyur thayar sannidhis. All Brahmins are also not entitled to do archanai or archaga kainkaryam. Especially in Srirangam, everything has been already set by Sri RAMANUJA. In Vazhi thirunamam, we chant as " THIRUVARANGAR SELVAM MUTRUM THIRUTHIVAITHAN VAZHIYAE". Like these archagas families many other acharyan thiruvamshams are also deputed for various specific kainkaryams. Please note archaga kainkaryam is not the only kainkaryam in temple. Likewise sathatha Srivaishnavas have got their own specific kainkaryams and they do follow it.They are not archagas. So everything has got its own qualifications and some based on family rights. So I feel it is not apt to grab anybody's rights or to ask for it by any sort of rules or created situations.If possible one has to try
to qualify themselves for many kainkaryams which are available to all, so as to maintain the sanctity of them.
We should remind nammalwar verses states that Kainkaryams have to be done for Bhagavan's wishes and happiness and not for our comfort and happiness. It is Sure, He will be happy if we do any kainkaryam to our level with sincerity and honesty.
