Following the divine command of Swamy Ramanuja to maintain the holy shrines and ensure that flowers, chandan and prasadam are offered to the deity, we do daily maintenance as well as renovation of divya kshetrams.

Daily Maintenance

To develop the above Divya desams , we appoint a bhagavata in the divyakshetram for complete maintenance of the garden. Nandavanam (garden) is maintained right from tilling and arranging source of water to wreathing garlands and offering to the deity. We also supply the required provisions and financially assist the paricharaka (cook). We have now taken up this service in Tirukkannangudi, Koviladi, Sirupuliyur, Kattumannarkoil, and Tirunagari (Tiruvali).

We invite you to come and serve

Bhagavan gave us this body to serve him. For our members to realise this and reciprocate, we have established small facilities at 6 remote divyadesams. We invite you to come with family, stay here and do all possible services to the Lord. You will feel the spiritual energy. We invite you come with family, stay in our facility and serve the Lord there atleast for two days.

As already scheduled, we landed at Sirupuliyur divya desam on 16th July at 7.30pm. We have been welcomed by the care takers of the Kinchitkaram Trust.

We met Bhattar & gave him vastrams for Perumal & Thayar. The next two & half days we had wonderful darshan of Perumal & Thayar and we were blessed to do the kainkaryams which was instructed by the Bhattar like cleaning of praharams, folding of vastrams, tieing flowers.

The caretakers were courteous in their reception & all our requirements were very well taken care of by them. We also received Perumal prasadam during our stay in Sirupuliyur. The trust building & nandavanams were very well maintained.

We offer our sincere  gratitude, respect & love to Bagavat Ramanujar & Kinchitkaram Trust for providing us this wonderful opportunity to serve Kripasamudra Perumal & Dhayanayaki Thayar. We look forward to do more such kainkaryams in the near future.

Dasyasya Vignayabanam.

Adiyen with my dharmapathni had been to Kattumannarkoil divya shetram to fulfill the Sri Ramanuja Divyangya kainkaryam from 1st to 4th Aug 19 organised by Velukkudi Swami, KKT.

It will be very tough for any srivaishnavite to detail the divine experience that he/she gets in rendering such services in any Emperuman temple and I am no exception.

We can’t feel the taste of sugar until we put it in our tongue; like that one has to go for such kainkaryam and feel for him/herself.

The reason for my starting the kainkaryam from Kattumannarkoil: But for Sriman Nathamunigal, today we will not be knowing the values (Perumalin arumai, perumai, dhayai, HIS down to earth attitude towards HIS children (us), forgiving nature and so on) of SRIMAN NARAYANAN; because of Sriman Nathamunigal only, we got Nalayira Divya Prabhandam which throws light on Emperuman’s above said qualities, the importance and values of 108 divya desams and after his time only Alwar/Acharyas granthangal/vyakyanangal came as a treasure with Sriman Nathamunigal / Sri Alavandar’s poorna anugraham. But for these, we all would be like trees, cattle and other creatures. I intend to undertake this kainkaryam in other divya desams as well in the coming days.

Our service at Kattumannarkoil: We first started plucking flowers as prescribed by the bagavathas there in the Nandavanam. It is a feast to our eyes to see the greenery garden. Then we cleaned all the sannathis by removing the cobwebs. Daily we collected ThayAr, Perumal, Alwar / Acharyas vastram bundles, cleaned and folded it in a neat way to be stored safely. We cleaned Perumal’s some utensils.

Our stay/Aharam: KKT is providing a brand new 2 BHK house very close to the temple where the other occupant is the Paricharagar Sri Srinivasan. 3 times temple prasadams (different varieties) is substantial for our daily intake.

People: All bagavathas/srivaishnavites are very friendly and move as a family member (athma banthu).

Benefits derived:

1. Emperuman Kadaksham.
2. Satisfaction that we could fulfill one of Sri Ramanujacharya’s divyangya.
3. Satisfaction that we stayed in a divya shetram for 3 nights.
4. Could stay away from the monotonous life.
5. Could get the association of true dedicated bagavathas.
6. Without spending a pie for shelter / food, blessed to get Emperuman Veera Narayanar sevai daily for hours.
7. Feel that today only I am born.

All these could be possible because of KKT, but for whom we can not imagine such blissful experience.

We sincerely pray at the the feet of all 108 divya desathu Emperuman that Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy be blessed with 240 samvatsarams (Twice that of Sri Ramanuja) with the physical strength of 20 year youth.

Namaskaram.

We had a blissful trip to Kattumannar Koil and thank Kinchit Trust for giving us this opportunity.

The accommodation was comfortable and the Paricharagar, Shri Srinivasan Swamy took care of us very well.

We were involved in cleaning the Deepa Aradanai lamp of the lord, seeping the Koil Sannidhi & Temple entrance, and plucking of flowers in the Nandavanam.  In addition to this we had the privilege of folding the Vastharams of the Lord and Thayyar .  We derived lot of divine pleasure and Athma satisfaction by doing these kaigaryam.

Perumal Prasadam was served to us in sufficient quantities on all the days, 3 times a day and it was very tasty.  Srinivasan Swamy prepared/allowed us to prepare Tea/Coffee in his facility.  A highly knowledgeable person he guided us very well.

Suggestion:

The drawing room and the accomodation room needs regular maintenance as lot of dust had accumulated.

We thank KKT for providing us an opportunity to serve the lord in a small way.  The Nandavanam and Ghoshala maintained by the Trust deserves high praise.

We look forward to doing more kaingaryam in other places managed by KKT in the near future.

Adien,

K.Raghavan

We must express our gratitude to KKT for accommodation in Kattumannar koil. It was really nice to stay and do some kaingaryam.

Namaskaram, adiyen went for koyiladi kaingaryam. It was a very good first experience for me serving at nandavanam and at temple. Thanks for accommodating me at the trust building. Appreciate the efforts by kinchitkaram trust.

Greetings….Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.

As confirmed by KKT, we did the Divya Desa Kainkaryam at Sri Veera Narayana Perumal Koil from 14.2.21 (14:30 hrs) to 20.2.21(10:30 hrs). Our daily routine included:-
(i) plucking flowers from the Nandavanam;
(ii)making of garlands;
(iii)cleaning n mopping
Sannadhi premises;
(iv)clearing cobwebs;
(v)cleaning brass/bronze vessels used for Divya Aaradhanam;
(vi)folding alankara vastram(s);
(vii)removing weeds at Nandavanam; and
(viii)feeding cows at goshala.
We felt at peace and satisfied doing the Kainkaryam. Accommodation facilities provided were adequate. Jagannathan Bhagavatar was at hand all the time to provide whatever help needed. He is totally devoted to doing Kainkaryam round the clock and we are very happy to come in contact with such a young bhakta.
Our क्रितक्ञ्जम् to KKT for providing this opportunity… we look forward to doing more such kainkaryam at different Divya Desams in the future.

Adiyen,

I am writing this email to share my wonderful experiences at Kattumannarkoil Veeranarayana Perumal temple. First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kinchithkaram trust  in enabling me to participate in this noble cause.  I registered to perform the service for 3 days (26 Feb thru 28 Feb). With a warm welcome by Jagan bhagavathar, i started my service at temple nandavanam by plucking tulasi leaves and flowers. As next day was masi magam, i was blessed much more to attend thirthavari.  I did got an opportunity to help temple battar for perumal kainkaryam like helping for thirumanjanam, thaligai serthal etc., I am sure this blissful experience will ever stay in my mind.
Above and beyond serving perumal, as a human everyone need food and shelter which was filled by kinchithkaram trust. I got a wonderful room arranged by the trust for my stay. It was maintained so neat and clean, with amenities like drinking water, geyser etc.,. Jagan bhagavathar took care of me well in serving coffee/tea for me everyday twice without any hesitation. He was so kind and active in ensuring his continuous service to perumal. On top of all, Perumal took care of me by providing prasadam 4 times a day to heavily fill my stomach for a very small service that i did. Everyone in the temple, namely the Bhattar, thirthakarar, other bhagavathars serving the temple were very kind to me.
Overall it was a wonderful and blissful experience that i am looking for again in future. Once again thanks to Kinchithkaram trust to fill little bit of good cause in my life.
Thanks,

R. Veeraraghavan
