Svasthi SrI:
Dear AasthikAs
:
This morning , we were blessed with
the anugraha
BhAshaNam of
HH Sri NaarAyaNa
YathIndhra MahA
Desikan ( Prakrutham Srimath
Azhagiya Singar)
from SelayUr ,
Chennai , where
the Malola PaadhukA
Sevakar is camping with His
AarAdhana Moorthy ,
Periya Periya PerumAL ,
Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan
.
He recalled fondly the recently
concluded SathAbhishEkam
at Srirangam and highlighted the
aspects of which that touched
His heart very much
:
1. Location of Srirangam , where 15
years ago He was selected
to become the successor to HH MukkUr
Azhagiya Singar , who
built the towering South Gopuram for
Lord RanganAtha. It is
appropriate for us to recall that
there were 5,000 AasthikAs ,
who attended the Aasarama Sveekara
uthsavam of Prakrutham
Azhagiya Singar and 25,000 sishyAs
and Abhimaanis as well
as Ubhaya Vedaantha Scholars
attended the grand SathAbhishEkam
at Srirangam .
2. The Veda PaarAyaNam by 750 Vedic
experts , who recited
the four Vedams including some in
Kramam , Jadai , Ghanam
modes . Srimath Azhagiya Singar
pointed out His Aaardhya Moorthy ,
Sarva Karma SamArAdhyan ,
MalOlan swung gently in
His Dolai
and listened intently to the Veda
ViNNappam from the assembled
scholars and enjoyed the PaarAyaNams
. All the 750 Veda PaarAyaNam
participants were recognized on the
Thirunakshathram day
with feliciatory citations and grand
sambhAvanais . The Vedic
Pandits
fully appreciated the
unique recognition given to their
fields of
specialization in Veda
bhAgams and modes of rendering
them in front of MalOlan embracing with affection Sri Devi
seated on
His left thigh , while gently going
back and forth on His dolai .
3. The Vidhvath Sathas that
assembled every afternoon after
the day's TadhiyArAdhanam . Advanced
Scholars in Sri BhAshyam
and other fields took part and there
was room for budding Scholars
as well to show their vidvath .Every
one of them were recognized
and appropriate SambhAvanais
were given . The top
fifteen Scholars
recived sambhAvanai of
40,000 Rupees that
covered Cash of 10,000 Rs,
One savaran Gold coin ,
half a kilo Silver vessel
for use in daily
anushtAnam ,
PonnAdai/Saalvai ( worth
Rs.3,500 ) and travel
expenses .
Junior VidwAns
in were encouraged to feel
comfortable at this Mahaa Sadas and were recognized appropriately
.
4. Both the Veda PaarAyaNam and
Vidvath sathas along with
daily upanyAsams in uLL Desikan
Sannidhi at the Srirangam
Temple . This sannidhi for Swamy
Desikan is right in front of
Sri RanganAyaki in Her TanikkOil
.That is two furlongs away
from Her Lord's sannidhi . Until 150
years ago , after Viswa
Roopam seavi , the garlands worn by Sri RanganAyaki were
presetned to Swamy Desikan by the
archakAs in recognition
of Sri RanganAyaki giving the title
of Sarva Tantra Svatantrar
to Swamy
Desikan
.
5. TadshiyArAdhanam for attendees at
the Uthsavam for all
the days of the Uthsavam at
Multiple places . No one went hungry
at any time .
6. Approximately 6 crores were sent
in handling all the above expenses
and the sishyAs had poured in 6-7
crores as their SamarpaNams .
Hence Srimath Azahgiya Singar did
not have to dip into core funds
reserved for other Kaimakryams
.
7. SishyAs also presented Malolan
with nearly 2 crores worth of
AbharaNams . Other sishyas cover
the expenses for the construction
of the huge hall next to the
DasAvathAra Sannidhi built originally by
Thirumangai AzhwAr
.
8. PattiNa PravEsam : A wonderful
Pattina Pravesam in a highly
decorated Palanquin borne by Sri
matam SishyAs took place .
As a Raaja SanyAsi , Srimath
Azhagiya Singar is entitled to
riding in Pallakku . The ride thru
two major Raaja veedhis of
Lord Rangarajan took place on the night before Thirunakshathram to the accompaniment of Veda
PaarAyaNam , Multiple Naathaswara
ghOshtis , KolAttam by the
Ladies , Dancing horses and walking
elephants . The residents of the
Utthara and Chitthara Veedhis
presented PoorNakumbhams and
MaryAdhais and were blessed
with Phala MantrAkshathai
.
All of these acitvites pleased
Sriamth Azahgiya Singar and HH thanked
every one who contributed to the
enormous success of His SathAbhishEka
Uthsavam .
In the next posting , adiyEn will
sumamrize Srimath Azhagiya Singar's
anugraha BhAshaNam on the
unique AakAra Thrayam aspects of
Sri DEvi in our sampradhAyam and the
Yeka Seshithvam doctrine
of the dhivya dampathis . Srimath
Azhagiya Singar touched also on
the Abhaya Hastham and Thiruvadi of
Lord Ranganthan and their
significance for us all
.
