Renovation of SRIRANGAM TEMPLE

Hi my dear viewer's and friends , here is a message letting you know ,Renovation of SRIRANGAM TEMPLE. Tirumangai Alwar ultimately settled down in srirangam and spent a huge fortune to carry out an elaborate renovation of sri Ranganadha shrine. For this purpose,he ceaselessly went round collection donation from the rich.In particular,the seven beautiful "Prakarams" (ramparts) and massive walls took shape thanks to this  Alwar's efforts.

Of the 108 Vaishnava Tirupathi's,forty were visited and sung by Thirumangai Alwar. One of them is slagrama kshetram in far off Nepal,nestling amidst the snow-covered wilderness of the Himalayas. Even today, iwth the availability of modern transport facilities,this shrine is extremely difficult to visit.

The saga of Thirumangai Alwar is illustrative of the concept of praptti (sarangathi), providing the fact that he who sincerely repents his amoral past and turns a new leaf, qualities for the Lord's grace. True remorse and steadfast austerity are the redeeming forces,which truth is amply illustrated in the story of tirumangai Alwar.Let his illustrious life illuminate our minds and actions.
