May - June 2001 Progress Report
Sri Lanka Endowment Activity
In the year 2000,
grants totalling Rs.117,432 were given to the Manitha Neyam Trust for
their project of supporting the Yogar Swamigal Thiruvadi Nilayam
(pictured left) in Killinochchi, located in the northern part of Sri
Lanka. Since our last report in Hinduism Today six months ago, the
number of residents has swelled from fifty-six to eighty-seven. The
increase in thirty-one residents is due to the military operations in
Kaithadi which have displaced additional elderly people. The Manitha
Neyam Trust of Sri Lanka solicits support for the home which provides
the residents with free accommodation, meals, clothing and medical care.
Religious activities include a Sunday School for Hindus every week,
bhajans on Fridays and listening to the various religious sayings of
Yogar Swamigal. Donations received in 2000 were sufficient to construct
a new kitchen. The HHEfund is #47 with a balance of $13,664.42. We
invite you to help build up this worthy endowment.
In December 2000 a grant of Rs. 93,280 was given to the
Tirunavukkarasu Nayanar Gurukulam (pictured left) of Batticaloa, Sri
Lanka. This orphanage is noted for its active Hindu outreach programs
in the Amparai district of Sri Lanka. The overall goals of the program
are:to focus on Hindu revival of the future; to promote Hindu social
cohesion through congregational participation and uniform practices; to
take action for arresting converson and denigration by other faiths. It
is HHEFund #12 with a balance of $22,947.34.
In December 2000 three other Sri Lankan institutions received their first grants from smaller endowments: Sri Subramuniya Kottam of Kopay (Rs. 3,784); Kumbhalavalai Ganesha Temple of Alaveddy (Rs. 4,136); and Pasupatheeswara Siva Shrine of Alaveddy (Rs. 2,112).
Support Hinduism In your
Homeland
Consider
the possibility of starting a fund at HHEto support a Hindu institution
in your home land perhaps the village temple, a deserving orphanage or an
ashram. Amodest endowment in USdollars can produce a large grant in the
local currency and provide the institution or activity with a permanent
and growing source of income.
Some of our donors have chosen to establish such a fund in the name of their family, which encourages donations just from family members, such as the A. Shanmugam Family Fund. It provides a monthly archana on full moon day at Thirukadaiyur Abirami Amman Temple in Thirukadaiyur, Tamil Nadu, India. Other donors have established a fund in the name of a temple itself, which then encourages a wide range of donors to also contribute. One example is the Iyarappan Temple Trust which sponsors a monthly puja and feeding on Ardra Nakshatra at a Siva temple in Thiruvaiyaru, Tamil Nadu, India. Another example is the Kerala Temple Trust which provides for upkeep of any temples in the state of Kerala, India. For more examples, please refer to the complete listing of HHEfunds found on the web at www.hheonline.org/endowments.html If you are interested in starting such a fund, please write and request our free information packet on how to start your own endowment.
