Sri Gurubhyo Namaha
For Dharmic way of living, guidance from Guru becomes inevitable. In ultimate analysis, Guru and Ishvara are one and the same. Getting a MahaPurusha as one’s Guru is indeed rare. Like Adi Shankara, the Sage of Kanchi is a MahaPurusha and it is a lifetime blessing for one to look upon him as one’s Guru.
For many decades now, devotees across North America have a very big dream… A dream to have a Mani Mandapam for Sri MahaPeriyava… A devoted place for celebrating our Sri Matam occasions in a grand manner…
There are so many devotees who have been longing to have something like this for quite some time in North America. Our earnest prayers are being answered today !!! It is our great pleasure to announce that efforts to build a Mani Mandapam for Sri MahaPeriyava – first time outside of India – has taken good shape and has achieved a major milestone today.
Divine Blessings
All human efforts can be achieved only through divine intervention. A Divine Sankalpam to bring forth Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam in New Jersey, USA was made in Sri MahaPeriyava Adistanam . HH Sri Pudhu Periyava , HH Sri Bala Periyava have been blessing and guiding us at every stage of this initiative. HH Sri Pudhu Periyava has given “SriMukham” & HIS Holy Padhukas blessing Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam, NJ USA. HH Sri Bala Periyava has given “Anugraha Bashanam” blessing this initiative.

Great Support
Late Sri Azhagappa Chettiar who built the First Hindu Temple in NY , USA was one among the very first devotees who was very happy about bringing forth a Mani Mandapam for Sri Maha Periyava… Late Sri Sundararaman Mama (That son of Duraiswamy) was feeling ecstatic knowing about this initiative and he was the first devotee to make a contribution for Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam, NJ USA…
A big pillar of support has been Dharmatma Dr YegnaSubramanian. We are immensely thankful to him for providing us the auspices of “Sanatana Dharma Foundation Inc” – a non-profit organization, to jump-start this initiative… Not only that, his insight and relentless support at every step of this initiative has been a great boost for us.

We are extremely happy to announce that Sri MahaPeriyava has selected a suitable place for HIS Abode in Flemington, New Jersey… It is a 10 acres property , approved for House Of Worship. With immense prayers to our Acharyas, the land was registered on Oct 26th 2015 – coincidentally, it happened to be Sri Pradosham Mama’s Jayanthi day.
The purchase deed has been placed in Sri MahaPeriyava Adistanam seeking HIS Blessings. The purchase deed has been placed in the Sannadhi of Sri SwaminathaSwamy Temple, Swamimalai. HH Sri Pudu Periyava and HH Sri Bala Periyava expressed their immense happiness and the purchase deed has been blessed by them.

Any dheiva karyam will be a testing effort before a milestone is achieved. Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam in NJ is not exempted from that . A land being procured for HIS abode is a major milestone. It is all because of Guru Katakasham and the earnest prayer and support from devotees all over the world.
The moment we made an announcement about Sri MahaPeriyava Manimandapam, NJ USA last year, devotees across the world from India, UK, Australia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and many other places have been devotedly stepping forward and supporting us both through their prayers and through their financial contributions. We are spellbound looking at the support that comes from every corner of the world.
Now, we are stepping into the next level of this initiative… Architecture, Engineering and so many other processes will take place.. At this point, we call upon each and every devotee from every corner of the world to extend their “Kainkaryam” for this divine initiative in all possible ways you can.
Our Krithagnai
MahaPeriyava has been a Bala Sanyasi, HE has been a Peetadhipathi. He has been a Parivrājaka undertaking an inestimable padha-yatra across India. He has been beyond Madham, Matam, Desam, Kalam… Brahma Swaroopam He is. We all realize that HE is a “Nadamaadum Dheivam” and hence we are all here united as ONE Family joining hands to bring forth the ManiMandapam for our Guru and impart the tenets of the teachings of Sanatana Dharma to our children thereby sustaining it for posterity.
We urge everyone to render their prayers to our Acharyas for bringing MahaPeriyava to New Jersey through daily prayers. Needless to say, collective prayers have it’s own impact and positive vibration – and Yes! the Prayers of each and every devotee will help us overcome any obstacles, whatsoever.
As Baktha Prahaladhan brought Bhagavan through his intense bhakthi, let each one of us turn into Prahaladan and with fervor and devotion bring our MahaPeriyava to New Jersey to guide us in Dharmic way of living!
Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya Sankara

Thanks and All the Best
Anantha koti Pranams. Feel dumbfounded & ecstatic on coming to know about this GREAT EFFORT. Great perhapa is too tiny a word in this context. We, the countless devotees, all over are awaiting to serve this monumental endeavour our little mite in any form as required. The unparallelled Poojyasri Maha Periava always advocated Samashti Dharmam. I am a Retired Civil-Structural Engineer from Chennai. Am reasonably conversant with temple architecture-construction, familiar with traditional sthapathis around Chennai & was involved in similar projects in India. It will be a once in a lifetime fortune to be associated for any blessed soul to be associated with the proposed Mani Mantapam. In all admiration with Namaskarams, N.S.Raman
That the very fact the land registration was done on Oct 26, which coincided with BrahmaSri Pradosham Mama’s Jayanthi shows that Mahaperiyava is wholeheartedly blessing this venture. For Sri Mama would always say that Mahaperiyava should be worshipped every where, in every single street, every single city, every country, and all over the world, collectively, and this earnest prayer of Sri Mama is slowly, but steadily, materializing everywhere. So, it is no coincidence, but absolutely the Divine Will that the land on which a temple enshrining Mahaperiyava in the United States should undergo its registration on Sri Mama’s Jayanthi day. Heartfelt prayers to Mahaperiyava, Sri Sivan Sir, Sri Triplicane Periyava and Sri Pradosham Mama to shower their Blessings on this great task, guide it step-by-step towards completion, and permanently reside there, too, and continue to pour Divine Grace on all, as long as the Sun, the Moon and the Stars exist!
Periyava Charaname Sharanam
Our heartfelt prayers to all PERIYAVAs for this divine initiative, for the successful completion of the Mani Mantapam. It is really very heartening to hear that the Land Registration happened on Sri Pradosham Mama’s Jayanthi day. That itself shows that Mahaperiyava’s Paripoorna Kataksham is with all the devotees who are involved in this divine feat. This will be part of my daily prayers.
Hari OM. Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya Sankara
Mahaperiyavaacharanam,

We are so blessed to hear about the finalization of the site for Maha Periyavaal’s Mani Mandapam. I consider this an important landmark for the spreading of Periyavaal’s message and his greatness for the generations to come.
Great and Happy News. Mahan at Orirukkai is also taking Abode at New Jersey. The Great Effort will succeed by His Grace and benefit all Devotees. We in India wish the Devotees all success.Maha Periyava Thiruvadigale CharaNam! Hara Hara Shankara, Jaya Jaya Shankara!
Sri Periyava is SARVA VYAPI and ANDHARYAMI AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED similerely in some occassions. It is our Bakthi with Bayam has given the results at NJ. we can tie easily Sri periyava in our hearts with sincere Bakthi. For this example is Manimantapam coming up at NJ that too with POORNA PALAN RECEIVED from Orikai Periyava when the document was kept for His Anugraham.
We pray Sri Maha Periyava during our daily prayers to provide all strength to accomplish this DIVINE TASK and to bless the entire WORLD.
PLEASE CALL IT AS A TEMPLE ( NOT A MANIMANDAPAM ) OF / FOR MAHAPERIYAVA
