Dear SishyAs and AbhimAnis of Sri Matam :
I am thankful to Sriman Sridharan Swamy of
Chennai for this description of the Poorvikam of
the most revered HH Srimath MukkUr Azhagiya Singar
and his extraordinary acumen to hold the Sri matam and its
temples together at a most critical time against
the machinations of the government ill wishers
at the time of HH's long reign as the PeetAdhipathi .
Daasan , V.Sadagopan

Dear Swamin,
This is the Thirunakshatra month of our revered Acharya, 44th Srimat
Azhagiyasingar-Srivan Sathakopa Sri Vedanta Desika Yateendra Mahadesikan.
I was told that the Poorvika Grama of our 44th HH is not 'Mukkur', but it is
actually 'Kal-pundi'. 44th HH initially had his Kavya-nataka, and samanya
sastra learning under Thillaisthanam swami (there were actually
Thillaisthanam brothers) at Kumbakonam. I was also told that one can easily
distinguish the sisya's of Thillaisthanam swamy. That was the brand on those
days.
Subsequently 44th HH did Aradhanam in Sri Mutt at Mannarkudi. For quite ling
time he was referred as Mannarkudi Rajagopalachariar. I also heard that when
the announcement came in the daily that 44th HH has taken over at
Naimisaranyam, it referred as one Mannarkudi Rajagopalachariar. HH had some
landed property at Mukkur through his maternal side. Hence, he came to
Mukkur and settled there.
>From there on he re-established HH's absolute right over Sri Muth and fought
with the Govt. similar to Swami Desika at Thiruahidrapuram with
Bahya-kutrishtikals (paramada-pour).
Two important such instances I shall narrate them separately. May be most of
us may not know them at all. It is very important that they should go on
records. These instances will clearly demonstrate the administrative
abilities of our 44th HH and the power of how Lord Lakshmi Narasimha's
anupravesa.
On these occassions my father was totally involved and did all the leg work
and hence I could get the first hand information.
This, like the number 44 - Forty Four, is the only one in the number system,
our HH is also very unique in the Sri Mutt hierarchy.
Dasan
Srivan Sathakopa Sri vedanta Desika Yateendra Mahadesikan Thiruvadi.
