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.

Message from Tamil Raligious magazine ' Vainavan Kural "

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

 

Members are aware that the Tamil religiuos magazine " Sri Vainavan Kural " is devoted to bring all world vaishnavites under one umbrella. This magazine started with the blessings of all of Ramanuja Sampradaya Acharyas a few years back is doing a great service through their monthly Tamil Magazine.

 They are now engaged in a project in bringing out a book on Tamil Vyakyaanam of 1102 Tiruvoimozhi verses of SRi Nammalzhwar, earlier written by Sri Dewan Bahadur V K Ramanujacharya who is a prominent disciple of Srimath Therazhundur Andavan.

 An appeal made by the publisher in this regard is attached with this. A similar request was made by them earlier several months back and a few of our members have already taken action to support the publication.

 In a speech on the occasion of Tirukkudantha Andavan's 106th Tirunakshtram, H.H has made a special appeal to the devotees to extend finacial support, as the total cost for bringing out the two volume, 1600 pages of work, comes out to Rs. 15 lakhs.

 H.H. has made an endorsement on their appeal also, which you can see at the bottom of the attachment. Please also read the speech of H.H. delivered on this subject on Tirukkudanthai Andavan's Tirunakshtram, wt which time H H has strongly made an appeal to the devotees to support the project.

 Both Sri Oppiliappan Sadagopan and Sri Anbil Ramaswamy have appreciated this effort of the brothers Sri KalyanaRaman and Sri Rangarajan.

 The members can also support in booking pre publication offer of this two volume book at Rs 2000 per set, which itself will be a great support.

 The books are scheduled to be released on 76th Tirunakshtram of Prakirtham Srimushnam Andavan on 24th May, 2012

        Srimath Andavan at Tiruvaheendrapuram
                                   
                               Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Tiruvaheendrapuram Sri Devanatha Perumal Koil Mahasamprokshanam was performed on 25th April, as scheduled already. Our Acharyan Srimad Andavan could not do Mangalasaasanam on that day, due to heavy rush of pilgrims. This was scheduled yesterday, but it did not happen , as some local issues are still to be sorted out.

H. H. made a visit to nearby place Sornavur, the native village of Sri Upendra Reddiar, our Ashramam devotee as well as President of Sri Paduka Charities.

Due to different issues, H.H. visit to Velamur and Kanchipuram are postponed to a later date.

I got the news that H H will be leaving Tiruvaheendrapuram on Sunday morning, proceed to Madyaranagam via Tirukkoilur and  visit Aviyur, then return to Chennai Ashramam late in the evening.

I will be posting again , if there are any more changes in the programme.

Daasan,
R Srinivasan.

Srimath Andavan's tour programme

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

I just a received a message that H.H. on completion of Tiruvaheendrapuram visit, might pay a Mangalaasaasanam visit to Ulagalantha Perumal Sannathi,Tirukkoyilur, on 27 or 28 th April ( exact date to be confirmed ), then proceed to newly constructed Andavan Ashramam at Madhyaranagam, very near to Tirukkoilur. From Madhyaranagam, it is likely H.H will visit Velamur on 29th April. At Velamur the newly constructed Saama Veda Patasalai cum Andavan Ashramam is now ready after completion. H.H might do Perumal & Paduka aaraadanams there on 30th April. From Velamur, H.H might make a flying visit to Andavan Ashramam complex in Kanchipuram, where also a new construction of our Ashramam is now ready for occupation, besides renovation of Permal and Acharyan sannthis there.

On cpmpletion, H.H. is likely to return to Chennai Ashramam.

Please keep in touch through this medium for further updates.
