>Given below is an appeal from thuppul trust of Kanchipuram. Thoopul is 
>a divya desam in Kanchipuram, Tamilnadu. Sri vedanta desikan was born 
in 
>Thuppul in 12th century A.D and immensely contributed to the literature 
of 
>Srivaishnavism. Swami Desikan did not only contribute to the Hindu 
>philosophy and literature but also lived according to doctrine he 
preached.
>Sri Deepaprakasar temple in thoopul is one of the 108 vaishnava divya 
>desam praised by Swami Desikan, and Thirumangai Azhwar. History of this 
>temple is given in my homepage: My homepage URL for thuppul divya desam 
is
>http://www.eng.uc.edu/~lsriniva/thuppul.html. 
>
>Every year, during vaikunta ekadasi, a garudotsavam is held for sri
>deepaprakasar, at thuppul. This festival was stopped during the early 
>eighties for some years due to financial constraints. A staunch sri 
>vaishnavite Smt. V.K. Santha had been touring the divya desams in 
>Kanchi with her neighbours of mambalam during this period. When 
everyone
>went to the Kanchi Sankara Mutt, H.H. Paramacharya asked in particular 
>Smt. V.K. Santha to revive the vaikunta ekadasi festival of thuppul 
>divya desam.
>
>A trust was formed by Smt. V.K. Santha and she has been collecting 
funds 
>for the garudotsavam every year. I request the bhakthas 
>in the net to contribute for the same. An appeal by Smt. V.K. Santha, 
the 
>managing trustee is also attached with this email. My sincere thanks to
>Dr. V. Sadagopan, Dr. Muralidhar Rangaswamy and Dr. KotiSreekrishna 
Tatachar
>for having contributed to this trust for the past two years.

of 
>margasira (Dec 15 to jan 14). On this day dieties of five ancient
>temples (located in kanchipuram) are taken out in procession on garuda

Deepa
>Prakasar for want of funds.The then senior pontiff of Kanchi Kamakoti 
Mutt
>"His Holiness Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal" desired that 
this

>A trust has been formed for this purpose with a view to create a Corpus

the
