Dear devotees,

This kainkaryam of Sri Sadagopan cannot be thanked sufficiently.  The
acharyas' anubhavams of the pasurams are no wonder classic! due to their
panoramic view of the shastras and untethered thoughts which pulls together
important strings of truth and wraps the vedic and tamil prabandham
information into an invaluable gift to humanity.  Without seeing through
the eyes and thoughts of our acharyas it is very difficult for us to make
out the meanings of these pasurams and vedic hymns. To bring these to
public who can communicate mainly in english medium only, is a laudable
task, that too on a daily basis.  Our Madhavakannan is contributing to this
kainkaryam with his unique style of writings.  May the divya dampatis and
our acharyas shower their grace on these benefactors.

I would like to add a few thoughts of mine here with respect to POMONA
Ranganatha Temple.  Sri Ranganatha is our Peria Perumal, who was worshipped
by Lord Rama himself.  It is our real good luck that such a rare occurrence
as PERIA PERUMAL himself will be coming to New York to visit us.  Probably
this is the only temple in US which will conform to the Pancha-ratra agamas
and will be equivalent to the divyadesams back in India.  This temple was
started with the blessings and instructions by the 44th Jeer who in fact
performed so many kainkaryams to God including the construction of the
Rajagopuram for Sri Ranganathar in Srirangam. Any help to this cause will
contribute to invaluable service to humanity and particularly folks in US.
