Lord Sri Krishna descends specifically to reestablish the real purpose of life when man forgets the purpose which is eternal service to Lord and his followers.

During Krishnaavatara He played and swam with his cowherd friends and sported in the waters of Yamuna with the beautiful Gopikas.

Let us relive the life of cowherds and Gopikas and engage in the service of Sri Krishna and his followers for a day on June 9 at Lake Jordan.

On Jun 9, we have a private beach area booked in Lake Jordan(near Raleigh area) for Sri Krishna in the form of Sri Venugopala (Sri Krishna wielding the flute) along with Sri Rukmini and Sri Sathyabhama

to sail on a float and for us to immerse ourselves in joy and service to the Lord.

Bhagavat Ramanuja will be there to witness all this fun.


There will be fun filled events to keep adults and kids immersed in Krishnanubhavam in the sands and waters of Lake Jordan.

Reliving the Float festival @ Lake Jordan in May 2011-








With Best regards

Sriman Narayanan is present indifferent forms in this Kaliyuga as Archa Avatara Murthis. The places where those Murthees get the Managalaasaasanam from the twelve Azhwars are called Divya Desams, of which 106 are now existing in our Bhaarathadesam. Besides these Divya Desams, there are many places where the Archa Avatara murthees of Sriman Narayanan as well as His consort Sri Lakshmi are being worshipped and people get the blessings.

Like this there is one such Temple in the neighbourhood of Villivakkam, in Tirmangalam Road. This is easily accessible from Padi as well as Anna Nagar.

This temple is known as Sri Padmavathi Sametha Sri Srinivasa Perumal Koil. This is presently owned by Srirangam Srimath Andavan Ashramam. Srimath Andavan has entrusted the administration of this temple to a committee headed by Sri R Srinivasan, Anna Nagar. Under his leadership, a public Trust is registered under the name of “ Sri Srinivasa Perumal Seva Trust “ and this trust is entrusted with the work of rebuilding the temple exactly as per Paancharaatra Agama Sastras and perform Samprokshanam at the earliest.

As per the plan, in the Garba Griham Sri Srinivasa Perumal with Alarmelmangai Thayar will be placed. Uthsava Murthees of Sri Srinivasar, Sri Ramar will be in the Ardha Mandapam. The temple will have two dwarabaalakaars, Lakshmi Hayageevar, lakshmi Narasimhar, Lakshmi Varahar, Sri Andal, Swamy Nammazhwar,Sri Ramanujar and Swamy Desikan. Sri Garudan and Sri Anjaneyar will be at the entrance of Ardha Mandapam. Presently existing Sri Chakrathazhwar will be relocated towards northwest.

Installation of all these idols as well as Samprokshanam is expected to cost about 15 lakhs. We are soliciting financial support to make the project highly successful. We request all devotees to participate in this effort, so that we have a good Temple, very near to thickly populated areas of Villivakkam, Padi and Anna Nagar. At present, the Baalaalayam of the temple has been done and Sthapathi work is in progress. We hope to complete the work in two month’s time and with the blessings of H H , do Samprokshanam at the earliest.

We are appealing to all devotees, as well as corporate houses, such as TVS group of companies in Padi area to extend financial support for the successful completion of the project. We seek the blessings of Sri Padmavathi Sametha Sri Srinivasa Perumal, the presiding deities of this Temple in the company of Sri Ramar, Sri Anjaneyar, Sri Chakrathazhwar and other deities shower the blessings for the welfare of all devotees supporting our endevour.
