Other endowments also received annual grants: 1) Rs. 11,040 to Abirami Amman Temple, Tiru-kadaiyur, which provides a monthly archana on each full moon day, 2) Rs. 11,040 to Iyarappan Temple, Thiruvaiyaru, which sponsors a monthly puja and feeding on Arudra nakshatra day, 3) Rs. 4,320 to the Tirumular Sannidhi in Thiruvavadhuthurai for shrine upkeep, and 4) Rs. 4,320 to Vishwamata Gayatri Trust, New Delhi, of Swami Pragyanand, for general support.
An Alternative To Direct Donations
Normally, when a donor in the USA gives to Hindu institutions in India or another country, and does so directly, he does not qualify for an income tax charitable deduction. If you are in this situation, do consider HHE as an alternative which provides you with a tax deduction, while the institution of your choice still receives the same amount of gift. At the same time, an endowment at HHE would build, providing permanent support for the institution. Write or e-mail for further details. Our representatives in India are Tiru L. Nellaiappan, Chennai, for the South and Srimat Rajiv Malik, New Delhi, for the North. Grants to institutions in India are made through HHE's affiliate organization, Sanmarga Trust India, which provides additional documentation and oversight over the funds.
As a public service, HHE occasionally will offer the opinions of financial planners. However, itendorses neither these advisors nor their counsel, and recommends that all individuals seek professional advice from several sourcesbefore making important long-term decisions.
