I am enclosing an appeal for the Mahakumbabishekam of Sri Subramanya Swami temple in our Vaithiappapuram Gramam in Kallidaikuruchi - Tirunelveli Dist.The temple was founded some 300 years ago and had its own pristine glory; but due to lack of proper maintenance during the last 40 years the last Mahakumbabishekam having been performed in 1964; the whole temple structure including the terrace (roof) Madapalli, Vahana Mandapam, Floors etc., has fallen into such a state of decay that unless immediate Tiruppani work is undertaken the condition may becomes worse, with the passage of time. It has therefore, been decided to undertake repair / renovation work immediately, followed by Mahakumbabishekam in early 2006 and appropriate festival committees have been formed for the purpose in chennai. We would like you to visit our Web site at www.srisamithi.info and a detailed web site at www.geocities.com/srisamithi and see the condition of the temple You will appreciate that such a gigantic task cannot be completed without solid and generous support of all devotees, especially the NRIs in particular. Every rupee you send will inspire us to make the dream of hundreds of sri subramanya Bhaktas a reality soon and restore the pristine glory of this temple, which is landmark in this area. The Estimate is fixed at about Rs 25 Lacs and above as per new costs. Needless to say, we look forward to spontaneous and encouraging response to this appeal, and you will readily agree that this is a rare opportunity given to you to help a great divine cause dedicated to lord whose benign blessings will always be available to you and your family for the continued welfare and prosperity. With best regards and in the service of the Lord.
Yours Sincerely Sri R.Ramasundaram Iyer Hon Secretary - Sri Subramanya Seva Samithi Chennai Region
