Sri Koorathazhwan, disciple of Sri Ramanuja was born at Kooram around 1000 years ago, in the year "Saumya", in the month of "Thai" under the asterism "Hastham". His 1000th birth anniversary occurs in the tamil year "Virodhi" (english year 2010). It is a great opportunity for all of us to be part of this grand event. Sri Koorathazhwan Charitable trust has planned several activities like the following:

  1. Printing and publishing the works of Sri Koorathazhwan.

  2. Release of MP3 CD of Sri Azhwan's panchastavam so that one may recite them and also learn them by rote.

  3. Release of MP3 CD of Panchastava Upanyaasams.

  4. Producing a documentary on Sri Azhwan's vaibhavam in DVD format.

  5. Constructing a museum to commemorate Sri Azhwan & Sri Udayavar.

  6. Create a corpus known as "Sri Koorathazhwan Nithyapadi Nidhi" to manage Kooram temple.

  7. Create a corpus fund, viz., "Sri Koorathazhwan Nithya Thiruvaaraadhana Nidhi" to take care of Nithyapadi Thiruvaaraadhanam in his Sannidhi at Kooram.

As part of these activities, Sri.U.Ve.Velukkudi Krishnan swamy would be delivering upanyaasams on Panchastavam during the forthcoming 3 years. Upanyaasam on one of the five Stavams, "Athimaanushasthavam" has already been completed. With the grace of Thevaperumal, upanyaasam on Varadarajastavam would be delivered in Sri Devarajaswamy temple at Kanchi.

The above Trust with the support of Kinchitkaram Trust is now raising a Corpus fund to create a fixed deposit since the temple devasthanam does not get regular income from agricultural lands. The interest accruing from the FD would be used for the following Kainkaryams in Sri Koorathazhwan Sannidhi at Kooram:

  1. Reasonable financial assistance for one archakar/paricharakar.

  2. Reasonable financial assistance for one ThiruMadaippalli paricharakar.

  3. Reasonable honorarium for Adhyapakar Swami.

  4. Reasonable financial assistance for other kainkaryaparas like Maniam, Vaadhyam, Security, Maintenance, etc.,

  5. Daily offerings of Pushpam, oil, etc., for nithya tiruvaaraadhanam.

Bhaktas are requested to contribute USD 65, as an one-time payment towards this corpus fund. As an acknowledgement, we will be giving Panchasthavam Upanyaasam MP3 CDs (approx. 18 CDs worth more than $65) to all donors free of cost.
