Visit to Madurai Andavan Ashramam on 13th Sept.2012
Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
On the last Dwadasi
day,13th Sept.2012, I had the opportunity to be in Andavan Ashramam's new
facility near Azhagar Koil, Madurai to get theertha prasadams of Perumal,
poorvachariar padukas and most importantly on that day prakirtam Srimath
Andavan's Sripada Theertham.
I fully enjoyed the
visit. The drive from Madurai was made via Tirmohur divyadesam first. There I
enjoyed the seva with the courtesy of Archakar Sri Ramakrishnan, who beautifully
covered the narrations in Perumal Sannathi, Thayaar Sannathi as well as the
unique ( yes it is unique in every aspect ) Sri Chakrathazhwar. All of you must
visit to get the blessings of Sri Kaalamega Perumal also called as Vazhithunai
Perumal and Sri Chakrthazhwar.
After this
the routing was through Sri Anamalai Yoga Narasimhar temple, which is well
maintained and definitely a temple to be visited.
The road then leads
to Azhagar Koil, which every one of are familiar.One unpleasant thing is
that the koil authorities make us to walk a long distance from the vehicle
parking space .In hot sun it is a bit difficult. However the visit to the temple
is very pleasant. One thing which we notice is in all these temples, Sri
Chakrathazhwar has separate sannathis.
Then finally we
landed in a coconut grove. The drive from the main road was mde comfortable
recently, by blacktopping upto Ashramam complex.There is a vaigai river canal.
It would have been very pleasant, if there was water flow, but not now.. The
total rural setting, cool breeze, sounds of Cows and calves in the front open
space etc. Srimath Andavan has rightly accepted the request of the organising
Committee in Madurai, under the leadership of the leading Advocate of Madurai,
Sri Srinivasa Raghavan.
I really enjoyed the
visit coupled with the bhagyam of being there on a Dwadasi day to have the
Theertha Prasadams besides enjoying Paaranai on that day
Srimath Andavan
could have enjoyed complete rest at thatplace in the company of dedicated
Kainkaryabarars, plus cows and their
calves.
I have taken a few
pictures and a small movie clip to present to you all the pleasant Ashramam
complex. Please access them through the following links.
Only a few more days
left, before H.h leaves for a vijaya Yathra of other divyadesams in the south,
before reurning to Chennai. Sri Ranganatha Paduka Purattasi issue, gives the
full Sancharam details
Daasan,
