Srimathe Ramanujaya Namahaa

Dear Srimathi Jayashree,

Thanks for correcting the mistaken identity of SriMandangudi as Divya 
Desam and enlightening us about Kudalur and Kapisthalam. Also I want 
to note that long time back (17-18 years) when I used to live at 
Kumbakonam our family went once to Nadan Koil 3-4 kms from Kumbakonam 
(across arasalar). Even that temple then was not maintained well. But 
happily bhattacharyar was doing seva for that perumal. 

Personnaly I feel every concerned bhagavatha should take initiative 
to adopt one of the needy Divya desam/Azhar peranda oor koil. For 
that matter out of 106 Divya desams almost 95 of them are in Tamil 
Nadu. Out of them roughly half of them are well maintained. In the 
remaining ones concerned Bhagavathas could take initiative in 
Arranging for finances, getting bhattacharyar/sevarthi/bharijaragal 
and sustaining seva for the perumal. If not one bhagavatha, many of 
them can band together and do this Kainkaryam. 

For my part in my next visit to India, I am planning to go to divya 
desams in Chola Desam and (apart from having sevai) identify those 
which need support from outside and try to do whatever I can with 
Bhagavat Anugraham.
