Sri:
Sri Sadagopan Swami has been performing kainkaryams (likhitha and
others)
He has sent the following appeal to Sri Ranga Sri
Dear Sri Anbil Swamin,
HH Srimath Poundarikapuram Andavan has blessed us with a Srimukham
for the two Kaimkaryams.
Sri V.N.Venkatanathan has accepted the responsibility to recieve the
funds from Ahobila Matam NA for the Kaimkaryams as well as directly
and supervise the coverage of expenditures .
Sri Srirangam Jeeyar has been approached to get Srimukham.
The Joint Commissioner of the DevasthAnam has given the official
note to start the Kaimkaryams.
Sri Murali Battar, the bother of Sri Nandu Bhattar known to us will
oversee the Kaimkaryam.
With all these things in place to assure that we have put all
safeguards in place for handling the various aspects of this once
in a life time kaimkaryam to the Lord of Srirangam and to grow the
Sri Ranga Sri.
Sri Sadagopan Swami mentions:
"After these two Kaimakryams, I will be focusing on serving adiyEn's
AchAryan and the Likhitha Kaimkaryam in Ahobilavalli Series to bring
it upto 108 E-Books. I want to close the door on Fund Raising at a
public level. There is nothing more to do after the Kaimkaryam to
NamperumAL. This is the summit for adiyEn. I can rest now"
In view of the above, we are pleased to release his appeal in
"Sri Ranga Sri"

Sri:
Sri RanganAthO Jayathi !
Dear SevakAs of the Sacred feet of Sri Ranganathan
of Sri Ranga Dhivya Desam celebrated by AzhwArs
and AchAryAs of Vaidhika Mathams :
Today is the Friday of maasi Maasam.
On this sacred occasion , adiyEn is priveleged to announce
the opportunity to perform TWO rare Kaimkaryams at
the ThirukkOil of Sri Ranganathan of Srirangam dear to
all AchAryAs , AzhwArs and Aasthikaas of every darsanam .
adiyEn is gratefil to the Moderator of Sri Ranga Sri Group
for permission to announce this Kaimkaryam in the group
founded by him with tight links to enhancing the Sri Ranga Sri .
He has set rightfully hight standards for rasing funds for
dhivya desa Kaimkaryams , which adiyEn respects very much
and have tried to comply .
One of these two Kaimkaryams has now been fully pledged .
This one is the restoration of the Vasantha Mantapam .
The other is the samarpaNam of a new KulasEkhara Padi
in Silver .
The only Kaimkaryam open hence for participation at this time is
the KulasEkhara Padi Kaimkaryam inside the Garbha Gruham of
Sri Ranganathan .
Strict audit controls at USA and India as well as on site
supervision have been put in place to use every cent
presented to the Lord as SamarpaNams for the two
Kaimakryams .
(1) KulasEkhara Padi at Sri RanganAthan's Garbha Gruham
********************************************************************
It is the replacement of the aged and worn-out KulasEkhara
(AzhwAr)
Padi right in front of the Garbha Gruham under the PraNavAkAra
VimAnam . Over many decades , the Current KulasEkara Padi
got worn out and shows now serious damage ( Portions missing and
big cracks ) . This is the proverbial Padi KulasEkahrar
sang about at Thirumala ; KulasEkhara PerumAL wanted to enjoy the
dhivya
Soundharyam of Sri BhUlOka Vaikunta Naathan from the vantage
position as a Padi in the garba gruham of the Lord . This is the
step
over which Uthsavar Sri Ranganathan steps out on His myriads
of Uthsavam year after year . This must be the step overwhich
AchArya RaamAnuja , KurEsar , ParAsara Bhattar would have
crossed over to be closer to Lord RanganathAn for their
MangaLAsAsanams and daily Kaimakryams . This must be
the step over which ANDAL and ThiruppANar crossed over to
join the Param JyOthi , Moolavar Sri RanganathAr . This must be
the step near which Thirumangai stood to have the UpadEsam on
the Param JyOthi Tatthvam of Lord Ranganatha .
This sacred Padi is thus very important for us . The Srirangam
DevasthAnam has given us permission to initiate this Kaimkaryam
as Arangan adiyArs .
You can see how damaged and worn out this Padi looks today :

SECOND KAIMKARYAM AT SRIRANGAM TEMPLE
**************************************************************
Many of You might know the Vasantha Mantapam at
Srirangam near AzhwAn SuRRu and near ThAyAr
Sannidhi .This is a 16 pillar Mantapam probably built
by Thirumangai Mannan or by a later day King . PerumAL
goes thru this Mantapam 18 times an year as told to me .
This Mantapam has seen the ravages of time . The roof
has cracked from the trees growing out of there . The Joints
have loosened up and need urgent repair .
The pictures of the current status of the Mantapam
are included below .
