SWAMIYAI SARANAM AYYAPPA

 

Dear Swami Ayyappa Devotee,

 

 

POORNA PUSHKALA SAMEDDHA AYYANAR TEMPLE in Arivelur Village is the

family deity and Kula Devatha for many families in Arivelur and its

neighboring villages .

 

 

 

This temple is situated in Arivelur Village near Elanthangudi in

Mayiladuthurai , Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu state. The

village is approximately 3 miles from Mayiladuthurai. The temple was

built about 300 years back .It is said that in this very location

MahaVishnu offered prayers to Lord Shiva. The village was originally

known as Harivasanallur .This temple was consecrated about 15 years

back along with some other temples in the vicinity by the local

village community.

 

 

 

In view of the age of the construction and negligence, the roofs

have given way and the walls have broken . There is an immediate and

urgent necessity to renovate the temple and restore its sanctity.

 

 

 

The tentative estimates for the project comprising of civil works

and electrical works is about Rs 8 lacs . Additionally there is a

need to build a compound wall .There are expenses needed for

electricity and water connections. A corpus is to be created to

meet the expenses for the daily puja in the temple.

 

 

 

By the grace of Lord Ayyappa and in consultation with the Sthapati

and the civil engineer ,the construction work has started with the

initial contributions made by a few families. There is an urgent

requirement of about Rs 4 lacs to complete the construction.

 

 

 

The Kumbha Abhishekam is scheduled to be held on March,15th09 before

the commencement of the Virodhi Varsha.As per our shastras we cannot

conduct a Kumbha Abhisheam during this Virodhi Varsha.Hence there is

an urgent need to complete the work by end February 2009.

 

 

 

We are trying to pool in resources from all astikas and devotees of

Dharma Shashta . We sincerely appeal for contributions for the

completion and sustenance of this project.

 

 

Please review the notice in Tamil attached herewith.
