Please participate in Sri Karyam


Bhagavatas wishing for Service to the divine couples can do Sri Karyam at once. They can personally come to the Temple or even call up the Sabha for their Service.
The Nitya Aradhane needs Thiruvaradhanam with ThiruAmudhu for distributing to devotees. It is the Niyamam of Sri Bhagavat Ramanuja that no devotee should go hungry from a Sri Vaishnava Temple. For this to happen is in the hands of all of us.
The Thirumadappalli (Temple Kitchen) is being constructed and utensils are in need. People wishing to contribute can give their old Copper or Bronze utensils for the Temple.
The Utsavar of Sri Nelavarna Perumal is of exquisite beauty and it is the Niyamam of Sri Bhagavat Ramanujar that Utsavams should be conducted for the benefit of all people irrespective of Caste, Creed or Religion.

The following are immediately needed for Perumal for daily puja.

6. Utsava vigrahams for Sri Vedavalli thayar, Sri Sudharsanar and Sri Yoga Narasimhar.

Bhagavatas wishing to adopt Sri Vedavalli as their own daughter can do so by registering their names and taking part in the kanyadhanam ceremony of Sri Vedavalli thayar with Sri Neelavara Perumal on their marriage day on Panguni Month Utra star day - this is celebrated as Panguni Utram celebration in the temple.

For the Moola Dhana Nidhi of Rs. 5,00,000/- Devotees can pay what ever possible from their heart and take part in the kaimkaryam to perumal. After all, Sri Krishna took only the puffed rice ( Avil ) and gave the property to enjoy for 8 generations to Sudhama ( Kuchelar ). Just the same way, Sri Neelavarna Perumal is none other than Sri Krishnan and he expects only true and sincere love to him. Even if the devotees help in cleaning the temple and removing the spider webs and other dust and help in distributing the prashad, even that is an act of devotion to Lord Sri Neelavarnan and he gives all the prosperity, wealth, health and happiness to them in return.
