Sankara Math, Palamadai
Renovation & Kumbabhishekam
Appeal for
Donations
The year 1992 was a
landmark year in the glorious history of Palamadai, the village being home to
Mahakavi Sri Neelakanta Dikshithar and graced and protected by the guardian
deity Mangaleswari Devi. This was the year in which Sri Sringeri Sankara Math,
housing an Adi Sankara temple, was installed. With the blessings and guidance of
Sringeri Jagadgurus Sri Abhinava Vidya Theertha Mahaswamigal and Sri Bharathi
Theertha Maha Swamigal, the citizens of Palamadai have grown both materially
and spiritually and are ardent devotees of Sri Sringeri Sarada Peetham.
Over the years, Sri Sankara
idol and the surrounding area in the sannidhi of the Math have become dull and
stained and require appropriate treatment and re-consecration. Sri Maha
Sannidhanam of Sringeri, when consulted, directed that a Kumbabhiskam be
performed following remedial measures as it has been
23 years since the temple
was installed.
In preparation for this
function, we would like to complete all repairs and renovation work which
includes a long standing improvement project. This involves refashioning the
backside of the Math to improve the kitchen facilities and relocate the
toilets. The Math has been serving as the venue for Annadhanam
for all Palamadai functions
and festivals.
The total cost covering the
renovation of the Math, consecration of the temple and celebrations of
Kumbabhishekam is estimated to be about Rs. Eight Lakhs.
With your support, we would
like to mobilize the necessary financial resources over the next few weeks so
that the renovation work can be funded and completed in good time and we are
ready for Kumbabhishekam by the month of Thai (mid January 2016). The
Kumbabhishekam date will be announced in due course.
As Asthikas associated with
Palamadai and Sringeri, you have been supportive and generous in your financial
aid in the past and we are sure that you will respond enthusiastically to this
appeal.
Various methods of making
payments are given as an annexure to this note. We look forward to your
support.
