Veda Rakshanam - First Update

First, a BIG THANKS for all those who supported us. It was good response from 60 odd people and finally we embargoed when the list reached 56 people considering the date we committed.

It was a nice blend of not only the amount of Rs 100 and Rs 200, we also had good fusion of people contributing Monthly, Half yearly, Annually. There were people who contributed more than Rs 1200 and Rs 2400 as an annual amount, with their agreement moved the excess annual contribution to Capital Reserve Account. The Capital reserve will be parked aside and will be used for some special expenses of patasalas.

The collection constitutes a monthly amount of Rs 9200 and Rs 26,400 as capital. I will send the second month reminder to those who are contributing monthly. Will share the receipt of first month as soon as we receive.

As updated earlier, there was a change in Patasala from Pondichery and the amount increased to Rs 10,000 per month (Shortfall of Rs 800 was pulled from capital)

The first month cheque was presented after getting the blessing of HH Bala Periva from Srimatam on 13th Feb 2018. The day had Pradhosam, Sivarathri and Janma Nakshatram of HH Bala Periva, what else we could order to start this venture. Along with the cheque the covering letter and list of people who contributed was attached for Periva blessing. (Please find both attached)
