Dear Sri Vaishnavas , The following is an appeal by the Srirangam Temple Heritage Protection Committee ,Srirangam .Please read through .

Srirangam Temple Heritage Protection Committee Formation and its Objectives

"Thou are the Ocean of Kindness worshipped by the supreme Goddesses Sri Ranganachiyar & Sri Bhoomadevi and great Saints like Manu in Divyadesams (Holy Places) such as Srirangam , Kanchipuram , Tirupati ,Tirunarayanapuram Etc. Whenever there is a threat to the Divyadesams(The Lord's Nithyavasasthalam in Bhoolokam)- YOU SHALL DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES  WITH YOUR SUPREME POWER" says Sloka 24 of Abidisthavam .

There is such a threat to all Divyadesams and especially so to the Great Srirangam temple (The foremost among all divyadesams also known as Bhooloka Vaikuntam) as the age old Customs & Traditions of the TEMPLE are followed more in breach than in observance.

In order to uphold the glorious tradition of the great Srirangam temple as laid down by our Venerable preceptors , act as a forum for the worshippers to voice their grievances regarding non observance of Customs and procedures and also act as an advisory body , a committee by the name of Srirangam Temple Heritage Protection Committee (hereafter known as STHPC) is proposed to be formed on the Pavitrothsava Sathumurai day , the 17th of September 2000 ,Sunday at Sri Lakshminarasimha Bhavanam ,East Uttara street,Srirangam .
