Dear Devotees,



My name is Priya Sunder and I live in SanJose, CA, USA.



We are trying to renovate Lord Saranatha's Temple located in Tirucherai,
Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu.



I wanted to know if your organization could help us in anyway towards the
renovation of the project.



I also wanted to know if you had a newsletter and I can post few lines about the
temple that will help raise funds towards the renovation of the project.



Please spread the word, that will help us get closer to our goal.



As per the agama sasthras, the temple renovation work has to be performed once
in twelve years with samprokshnam, and the last done was in 1992, and it is

being taken up by Sri Sarakethsethra Sath Samrakshena Saba ( Registered )
from 15th Sep, 2005 and expected to be completed early next year. The estimated
cost is around 23 lakhs.



At present, the following works are to be done before Samprikshnam
