Good to know your background. <BR/><BR/>It is in reasonably good shape, but folks like you should visit the temple when ever possible(it may be a little away from Madras and may require a bit of little to travel and come back).<BR/><BR/>Also, you should do your bit for the temple and the priest, so the relevant festivities and daily poojas are kept going without any discomfort. <BR/><BR/>If each of us take care of a few temples that are close to our heart, we can ensure that these temples dont become 'history' during our time.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>PrabhuPrabhu.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374855207872544298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602595265633639540.post-37219627082875304292008-11-30T16:33:00.000+05:302008-11-30T16:33:00.000+05:30Dear Prabhu,The association of our family with mad...Dear Prabhu,<BR/>The association of our family with madurantakam is more than a century old now.Ive heard that my great grand father hailed from this historic town through my grand father Shri Ramasamy iyengar.Visiting your link has given me the closest possible experience of revisiting my child hood days in the late 1970's when my father Shri varadharajan iyengar used to take us to maduranthakam for the local car festival and also for the deepavali celebrations which used to witness a huge gathering as my grand father shri Ramasamy iyengar had 8 children in all and the entire family network used to assemble.One can imagine the extent of all the fun and frolic that would prevail in a gathering like this.Our house was located on the car street which was also more than a century old and was identified by a big BADHAAM tree in front of the house.A visit to maduranthakam was never complete without stepping into the ERIKAATHA RAMAR temple to seek the divine blessings as my family had a very close association and was actively involved in all temple festivities.There would be a tremendous sense of relief and fulfillment as one enters the temple and one has to visit the temple to experience the same.<BR/>Things change, time moves on..years roll by as 30 years have gone by, now as i post this comment thousands of miles away from maduranthakam.Neither my parents are alive now,nor we own the century old house in the town ,but..what remains is the fond memories and the everlasting grace of madurantakam ERI KAATHA RAMAR.<BR/>I sincearly thank you for taking me through a journey of the wonderful days of my childhood and reminding me of this historic town and the greatness of this temple.<BR/>May lord Rama bless us all.Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355713909774149536noreply@blogger.com
