Invitation to visit Tiruppullani, during Malaya paksham

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

adiyen dasan

It is adiyen's bhagyam to invite all to be at Thiruppullani during this maalaya paksham.

By this time many would be knowing about HH Srimad Andavan's vijaya yathrai to Thiruppullani on 3rd October after successful completion of Chathurmasya sankalpam at Madurai. HH will be at Thiruppullani from 3rd eveimg to 8th evening.

HH Srimad Andavan, who was the first yathi to perform Chathurmasyam at Thiruppullani and who created so many records during the chathurmasyam, is to create another record. To the best of our knowledge HH Srimad Andavan, is again the first yathi to be at Thiruppullani during mahalaya paksham.

HH Srimad Andavan will have Sethu snanam and Mangalasasanam during his short stay at Thiruppullani.

Normally we have to adjust to the sowkaryams of our Acharyan. But, as our HH is always showing his kaarunyam and vathsalyam towards the sishyas, HH this time adjusts to the convenience of the sishyas who may be here during his stay at Thiruppullani. And hence he informed adiyen when adiyen was at Madurai on 19th that he will perform Sethu snanam on Saturday (06-10-2012) and also on Sunday (07-10-2012) so that sishyas who could not visit the previous day may also get the bhagyam of Sethu snanam along with Acharyan. Kindly do not miss this great opportunity. Sethu snanam itself is visesham, that too along with Acharyan is still more visesham. Again sethu snanam alongwith Acharyan during malaya paksham can be a very very rare occasion not to be missed at all. So please arrange your trip on any one of the day.

But it is adiyen's earnest request to you all to be here on Saturday itself. ஆசார்யன் தன் கருணையினால் அவ்வாறு முடிவெடுத்தாலும், அவரது திருமேனி பாங்கை உத்தேசித்து எப்படியாவது சனிக்கிழமை அன்றே எல்லாரும் வந்து விட்டால் நமக்காக மீண்டும் ஒருமுறை அவரை சிரமப் படுத்த வேண்டாம். Please consider.

Even if there is no accommodation in train, kindly do not hesitate to come by bus or by some other means. Despite his health, HH travels by van to the far and near places just for our rakshanam. Can we not forego our convenience for a single day? adiyen hope you will not mind and be here. On behalf of Thiruppullani Ashramam adiyen welcome you all.

HH will have mangalasasanam at Sri Adhijagannatha Perumal temple on Sunday the 7th October evening.

adiyen,

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

Swamy Desikan's 744th Avathara Uthsavam at Thoopul-- Invitation

Sreemathe RangaRamanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Sri Vilakkoli Thoopul Vedantha Desikan Trust is organising Swamy desikan's 744th Tirunakshatra mahothsavam at His birth place Thoopul. They have made out an invitation cum programme sheet and I am happy to attach the same. It is a ten day elaborate festival and the Trust is appealing to the public for financial support from all devotees. It is but sheer dedication on the part of the organisers and also numerous volunteers, who enthusiastically participate during Saathumurai on final day at Thoopul Sannathi and Swamy Desikan goes inside Sri Deva Perumal Temple for Mangalaasaasanam, which ends in the famous " Piriyaavidai" that evening. You all must be there atleast once to enjoy all these.
