After all these, Swamy Desikan Adiyars made a request for a new silver bell for Swamy Desikan sannathi at Sri Deva Perumal Temple.This was also done now by an Ashramam sishya, who was particular in presenting it on behalf of H H Srimushnam Andavan . Thsi silver bell with inscription of H H Srimushnam Andavan was presented to H H first in Chennai ashramam, then was carried to Sri Deva perumal Temple on Kadai Velli day, presented to Sri Perundevi Thayar  and with Her anugraham, the bell was carried to Swamy Desikan sannathi on Chithirai- Sravanam day,12/05/2012 and presented to Swamy Desikan by Aaraadakar Srivathsan.

At that time I was told thatin Sri Deva Perumal Sannathi, ther is a silver bell presented by Srimath Therazhundur Andavan. We now have a similar silver bell with Srimushanm andavan's name inscribed in Swamy Desikan sannathi in Sri Deva Perumal Temple. This is another landmark in our Ashramam's history.

Pudukkottai Sri Varadaraja Perumal Koil

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

 

I was on a visit to my native place Pudukkottai, which has a beautiful Sri Varadaraja Perumal Koil. This is also our native family temple and by traditions our family receive temple honours, as kula deivam. Incidentally Moolavar is Sri Srinivasar and the Uthsavar is Sri Varadaraja Perumal, in whose name the temple is called. From Tiruchi, Pudukkottai is 53 KMs and beyond this you go to Tirumeyyam Tirukkoshtiyur, Tiruppullani etc. I have posted earlier some events taken place in this town. Now in my recent visit, I just took some short movie, whose youtube link, I am giving below. This may be of interest to some of our members, who are natives of Pudukkottai.

With the blessings of H H Srimad Andavan ,Mahasamprokshanam of this Temple was last done in 2001

A REQUEST FOR  FINANCIAL  SUPPORT FOR  A  PERUMAL  KOIL  RENOVATION  IN  VILLIVAKKAM , CHENNAI

Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam took over this temple in Villivakkam, in October, 2010, as per the wishes of its original founder Sri  Veerapuram Krishnamachariar.

This is a privately managed temple and is managed by a committee appointed  by  Srimath Andavan , headed  by Sri R Srinivasan.

The deities installed in this Temple are  Sri  Srinivasa Perumal, Sri Padmavathi  Thayar,  Sri  Ramar, Sri  Anjaneyar and Sri Chakrathazhwar.

The location of this Temple is in a central residential locality, many of them are employees of TVS group companies.

As per the wishes of His Holiness Srimath Andavan  ,  it is decided to improve the facilities in this Temple and to make it perfect in all aspects of Temple architecture and Pancharatra  Agama sastras.

Once renovated, the Temple will have main Sannathi for Sri Srinivasar and Sri Alarmelmangai Thayaar, followed by Uthsava Murthees of Perumal and Thayaar, Sri Ramar, Sri Namamzhwar, Sri Andal, Sri Ramanujar, Swamy Desikan in the Ardha Mandapam. Stone Idols Dwara Balakars , Sri Garudan, Sri Lakshmi Hayagreevar, Sri Lakshmi Varahar and Sri lakshmi Narasimhar also find a place in the temple.

This temple is well known for the Anjaneyar, both Moolavar and Uthsavar. They will be installed at a special place at the entrance of Ardha Mandapam, in such a way Tirumanjanams can be conducted. 

The existing Chakrathazhwar Sannathi will be  repositioned , so that  there will be a good view of  Perumal  and Thayar  from the entrance to the temple itself.

To facilitate early completion of all the works as stated above , Balalayam function was held on  26^th  April , 2012. Renovation work under the able  guidance  of  well  known  sthapathis has started. 

We estimate that the total work will cost about Rs 12  lakhs.  We are appealing to the members of the Public as well as Institutions to extend financial  support , by which we will have an impressive local  temple in the locality of Villivakkam and in the immediate  neighbourhood of  Padi TVS  group  companies.

Payments may be made by cheque  in the name of “ Sri  Srinivasa Perumal Seva Trust” . This is a registered Trust, specifically formed to take care of the interests of this Temple, under the niyamanam of Srimath Andavan.

 If the donor would like to avail  IT exemption under 80 (G), the payments may be made in the name of  “ Sri  Paduka Charities”.

For better coordination, the payments made as above may please be sent to the following address ;  Sri R Srinivasan, “Sri  Paduka Vihara Bhavanam” , Plot No.1557, 17^th Main Road, Anna Nagar West, Chennai 600040.
