Velamur Pavithrothsavam

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Any information from Velamur temple is very imporatant to us, as it is very much attached to Srimth Andavan Ashramam and more particularly to H.H. I already posted a report on the Pavithrothsavam taken in the middle of the event on a particular day. Here I am attaching more pictures from Ankurarpanam, followed by poornaahuti. Please enjoy waching . In one of the clips, you may see the Upanishad Bhashyakarar, along with other Acharyas.

Please make sure to visit Velamur at any time convenient to you, and this is a distance of a 2 hours drive from Chennai. Very soon a Saama Veda paatasaalai will start functioning at this place, with the blessings of our Acharyan. A new building is under construction and will be ready in about 3 months time. I will be posting more updates on Velamur.

I am at the point updating the list of donors to the Rajagopura Kainkayam, completed early this year. Members looking at this mail, if you have joined in that noble cause, could you please let me know the details of your contribution, so that we make our records complete?

Report on Velamur Temple Pavithrothsavam and photo links

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

 

Currently Pavithrothsavam is under way in many of Temples under our Andavan Ashramam management. To name them, they are Velamur, Bangalore-Sripuram and Mumbai-Dombivili etc.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit Velamur Sri Sundara Varadaraja- Sri LakshmiNarayana Perumal Koil. All of you will be aware that this is the temple very much nurtured by H.H., during His Poorvaasharam period, in parallel to working as a School teacher there.

This is the same village, where Saama Vedam flourished under the leadership of Acharyan Upanishd Bhashyakaarar Sri Ranga Ramanuja Mahadesikan in those days. Due to British colonial problems, many of those Veda vidwans abandoned this village and settled in safer places.

But it is fortune that our Acharyan had the opportunity to recide in this place for many years and at the same time the Temple is also taken care of.

After taking over Acharya Peedam in our Ashramam, with the blessings of H H , many improvements to the Temple has taken place. As per His wishes the Temple was fully renovated, a new Sannathi with Vimanam for Upanishad Bhashyakaarar has come up, a beutiful 3Tier Rajagopuram was erected. We have already reported about the Maha Samprokshnam was performed on 13th May 2011, in the immediate presence oh H H, who incidentally shares the same Tirunaamam as Upanishad Bhashyakaarar,as , Srimath RangaRamanuja Mahadesikan.

After the last Mahasamprokshanam, the first Pavithrothsavam is now under way at Velamur. Tomoroow 8th Nov., 2011,is the final day.

I have taken snaps of Velamur Temple, views its Rajagopuram , Uthsava Perumal with Ubhaya Naachimaars during this Pavithrothsavam. You can see the Pavithrams adorning the dieties ,very much pleasing different colours.. We enjoyed seeing Moolavar also having those gorgeous colours along with garlands of flowers. To enjoy all thes, you must visit this temple, if possible, tomorrow itself, as it is the final day. The functions will be stretching upto midnight, with Perumal Veedhi Purappadu.

In case you miss to be there tomorrow, you may make it on Thursday, 10th November, when Annakkoodai uthsavam, takes place.

You may all enjoy viewing the limited pictures, taken on the evening of 6th November,2011, by clicking on the Picasa web link given below.
