pathetic sight of SriVaishnavas

[Guest guest]

This is to just share a personal experience similar and contrary to Mr.

Srinivasan's.

 

We, a set of relatives, had been to SriVilliputhur. There my uncle paid

Rs. 200/- to an Archakar who got it saying that he would perform puja

every month on the Nakshatram of my uncle and post the Prasadam every

month to his house. My uncle had also given his address to the Archakar.

This happened in 1997 and till date my uncle has not received any

prasadam.

 

I do not mean to say that all Archakas are like this. The situation is

so worse that we have to sincerely try to bring our culture and

reputation back into form.

 

adiyen,

 

rajam.

In some of the recent postings, the "pathetic sight of SriVaishnavas"

was

metioned. adiyen would like to add his two cents worth..

 

Last November/December during my visit to India, adiyen visited

SriRangam, and

for the first time visited th sannithi for Sri Nathamunigal and

Venugopalan. The

bhattar had noticed that adiyen was fresh from samashrayanam, and asked

if some

financial support could be had towards the day-to-day kainkaryams for

Perumal.

To cut a long story short, i send some amount to this sannithi, actually

to the

bhattar. He in turn uses and as a token of thanx sends the kumkumam,

manjal etc.

to my parents or self. Everytime i receive the prasadam, it gives a

sense of

satisfaction, since thee are no typical Perumal koils here, Perumal

himself is

sending his prasadam.
