Present position - The shrine in ruins:
One sheds tears of blood on looking at such an ancient holy shrine, which lacks lusture, over the years left to nature without maintenance, plants and trees growing on the granite structure, with roots penetrating deep, the walls and ceiling looking for time to fall.
Rain water seeps through the vimaanams and fall on the moolavars, which are akin to the tears we shed on, with our hearts filled in agony on seeing the gods.
It is indeed a physical threat for those who visit the shrine but for the grace of the lord. Should we leave the temple of our Lord Narasimha whose children we are, who are with us always, who saves us from the daily perils of life like this? Definitely not.
Even though our country is known for its spiritual heritage for centuries, such monuments lie uncared because of various reasons, the financial aspect being the most important. The treasures left by our ancestors for our welfare have been ignored for one reason or other.
The Renovation work:
Preliminary Homam
The Maha Sudarsana and Maha santhi homams were conducted on 09.07.2007 by the group headed by Thiru N.R.Venkatasesha Battachar of Arulmigu Narasimha Swamy temple, Nammakal, in the temple premises as per agama sastras.
Indeed a ray of hope is seen for the rebirth of the structure with the grace of the Lord. AT Karur, Tamilnadu, India a trust named "Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Baktha Sabha trust" has been formed with the suggestion and able guidance of Jothida Chakaravarthi Thiru A.M. Rajagopalan and has been registered with the government of Tamil Nadu. With the grace of almighty Lord Narasimha the trust has taken up the work of reconstruction preserving the architecture with due permission from the HR and CE Dept., of Govt., of Tamil Nadu. The costs run into many lakhs of rupees.
An honest appeal:
We the members of the trust make an honest appeal to like-minded Hindus worldwide who will donate liberally for the noble cause. Let us determine our self first and the Lord himself shall complete make a start and the rest, for he is everything.
It is a deed; indeed our generations will be blessed by the almighty for the years to come.
