> A yet another new beginning. The last day of 2007 will be the most
> memorable day for some of us. We had the pleasure of ending 2007 
> with the  blessings of  Kanchi Varadar and our two AchAryar's, 
> EmperumAnAr and Swami  Desikan. I am making a humble attempt here to 
> share my experience with all. 
> 
> Around 50 of us along with Dr.U.Ve.M.V. Anantha Padmanabhachariar 
> swamy(Nrisimha Priya) went to Kanchipuram for *AnushtAna kulam 
> Uthsavam. We started at around 10 am from chennai. On travel, we had 
> the privilege of having a quiz by Parthasarathy mama. It was a very 
> interesting experience to answer in person directly to him than 
> answering his online quiz, as we cannot do any search or refer any 
> books then. And  Anantha padmanabhachar Swamy also joined us in the 
> event. It was a great opportunity to learn many sampradAya vishyam 
> from them. By the time we ended the quiz we reached Kanchi at about 
> 12. Though we could not reach there on time for thirumanjanam, which 
> took place in sAla kinar mandapam, we had the pleasure of walking 
> along with Emperuman and Emperumanar from sAla kinar to Thoopul 
> Swami Desikan sannidhi.
> 
> It was a wonderful sight in Thoopul with Perumal in the centre and 
> our two acharyas on either side of Him. There were many special 
> neivEdhyams for the threesome. After the neivEdhyam, BhashyaKArar 
> and swami Desikan were honoured by  parivattam and garland and 
> srisatAri of Emperuman. Here we learnt an interesting vishayam from 
> Anantha Padmanabhachar swamy. BhashyaKArar was honoured with 
> SrisatAri with three mudras, whereas Swami Desikan was honoured  
> with 5 mudras. 
> 
> After parivattam and mAlai mariyAdhai, there was gOshti  viniyogam. 
> Then, Perumal along with Emperumanar started to His temple and 
> Swami  Desikan went out to send off his Acharyan and Perumal.
> 
>>From there they both went on procession to BhashyaKArar's 
> thirumAligai. The Adhyayana Goshti joined Perumal  from Thirukacchi 
> Nambigal's sannidhi. They reached BhashyaKArar's  thirumAligai and 
> here too a special neivEedhyam was done for Lord Varadar and  
> Bhashyagarar. After goshti viniyogam, they started for the temple. 
> By the  time they reached the temple, we all went to Perundevi 
> thayar's and  ChakrathAzhwar's sannidhi. A while later Perumal 
> reached the temple and in Andal  sannidhi we had a scintillating 
> vision of mAlai mAththal(exchange of garland) between Andal and  
> Perumal. It was time for Perumal and BhashyaKArar to part with each 
> other. Near Perumal sannidhi, BhashyaKArar was honoured with 
> parivattam, mAlai mariyadai and srisatAri. Perumal, after giving 
> piriyA vidai for his beloved  Ramanuja, went to his sannidhi and 
> Swamy Ramanujar too having spent the whole  day with Perumal left to 
> his sannidhi. In Swamy Ramanujar's  sannidhi, he  was in the centre 
> with Azhwars on one side and Acharyas on other side. It was a treat 
> to our eyes. Swamy Ramanujar mulavar gives us his blessings with his 
> gyana mudhra, whereas in other temples he is usually seen with 
> anjali mudra. Swamy Anantha padmanabhachar in his Ramanuja pAavai 
> upanyasam gave us an interesting explanation about Swamy Ramanujar's 
> gyana mudra. The gyana mudra he poses is such that he plucks the 
> darkness and sins from our hearts. Everyone, if you get a chance, 
> should visit Swamy's Sannidhi to have the blessing of all the 
> Azhwars and acharyas together. We all with heavy hearts, gave piriyA 
> vidai to them and started to chennai. 
> 
> Also I would like to share a write up by Anantha Padmanabhachar 
> Swamy out of his imagination, few years back about the anushtAnakula 
> utsavam. It's about the conversation between Lord Varadar, Swamy 
> Ramanuja and Swamy Desikan and is given the title Simhangalin 
> Sallabham.Don't miss it. please read it from the file section of the 
> groups, i have included a file "simhangalin sallabham.pdf".

> * Anushtanakula Utsavam, every year is celebrated on the day next to
> eyarba sAthumurai day. This uthsavam represents a very important day 
> in Swami Ramanujar's life. Swami Ramanujar in his pOvAshrama was 
> under the tutelage of his Acharyan Yadavaprakasar. YP was jealous of 
> Swamy's profound knowledge and decided to kill Swamy. Hence he took 
> few of his sishyas along with Ramanujar for a pilgrimage tour to 
> North India. Swamy's brother Govindha Bhattar, who came to know 
> about their guru's plan, informed Swamy about it and told him to 
> leave their group immediately. Ramanuja, who was at his young age, 
> didn't know how to go or where to go. He started to walk for a while 
> and since it was dark he was scared. He called out but only his echo 
> answered him. Suddenly a while later a couple appeared before him 
> and asked him why he was alone in the forest. He told them that he 
> was lost and couldn't find his way back  to his village, but never 
> told them about what actually happened. The hunting couples took 
> swamy and the threesome walked through the forest. When  dawn broke, 
> the lady hunter was tired and asked Ramanuja to bring her some  
> water. He had a small vessel with him for performing anushtAnams, he 
> took  it and found a small well nearby. He brought water for her but 
> found them missing. He called for them, but they did not come back. 
> Ramanuja was  upset and resumed his journey to find out where he has 
> come. When the sun rose brightly, he could see the temple vimanam 
> and learnt that that was his own village, Kanchipuram. 
> When swamy wanted to do kainkaryam for perumal and piratti, he asked 
> Thirukacchi Nambigal to ask them(perumal and piratti) for a 
> kainkaryam. It was then Piratti asked Ramanujar to bring water from 
> salai kinaru everyday for her. On hearing this kainkaryam Ramanuja 
> realised that the hunter couples were none other than Perumal and 
> Piratti and he was overcome with emotion to learn  Lord's souseelyam 
> and soulabhyam, to have come for his rescue. So, anushtAnakula 
> uthsavam is the day when Swamy Ramanuja escaped the jaws of death 
> which was set by  Yadhavaprakasar and was rescued by the veduva 
> thampathi(Lord Varadar and Piratti). 
> So, on this occasion, let us pray the Divya Thampathis to rescue us 
> from the clutches of samsAra and mAyA.
