Sri Mattapallinatham Pranathosmi Nithyam Namaha


Dear Bhagavathas ?

        The 60th Tirunakshatra Mahotsavam of Salakshana Ganapaati 
Sri.U.Ve.Mukkur Lakshmi Narasimhachariyar Swamy commenced on 
5.6.2004. Sri Swamy's Tirunakshatram actually falls on 3.7.2004 
(Aani pooradam). 

        The Mahotsavam began on Vaikaasi Pooradam at Mukkur, the 
birthplace of Sri Swamy, with a vadamaalai offering to Sri Aanjaneya 
Swamy's temple there.

        The celebrations continued in Chennai last weekend 
(11.6.2004 to 13.6.2004) at Asthika Samajam, Venus Colony where 
numerous Yagnams and Upanyasams have been conducted by Sri Swamy. 

        His Holiness Srimad Azhagiya Singar, inaugurated the 
celebrations on 11th June, with his Anugraha Bhaashanam on his 
favourite Sishya Rathnam. This was followed by a book release 
function where SriU.Ve.A.M.Rajagopalan of Kumudham Joditham, along 
with SriU.Ve.P.K.Lakshmi Narasimhachariyar (Editor Sri Nrisimha 
Priya) and SriU.Ve.Anantha Padhmanabha Chariyar (Sub-Editor Sri 
Nrisimha Priya) released the book entitled `Veda Raman ? Aaranya 
Kaandathil Artha Visheshangal'. This book is a transcription of Sri 
Mukkur Swamy's upanyasams in Sri Paarthsaarathy Swamy Sabha, 
Triplicane, especially on the 14 special traits than Sri Rama 
displayed in the Aaranya Kaandam. SriKrishnaswamy of Asthika Samajam 
concluded the day's proceedings with recollections of his 
experiences with Sri Mukkur Swamy.

        The Chennai celebrations gained momentum on the second day 
which began with Karnatic vocal music performance by M.S.Jayashree. 
Following this, the 6th volume of Sri Mukkur Swamy's 
renowned `Kuraiondrumillai' series of books was released by Kavignar 
Vaalee. Sri K.Rajendran (Kalki) received the first copy. This was 
followed by reminiscences by Kavignar Vaalee, Sri Sugi. Sivam and 
Sri Naagai Mukundan. The day concluded with a Veena concert by one 
of Sri Swamy's young devotees, Kum. Sri Vidhya Sundar.

        The third day of the Chennai celebrations turned out to be a 
fitting finale. Just before the commencement of the third day's 
program, Vaayu and Varuna bhagavaans in tandem showered their 
blessings via a downpour accompanied by cold breeze. Sri 
B.Sundarkumar began the day's proceedings with his recollections of 
experiences with Sri Swamy. This was followed by another nectarine 
shower - a vocal music performance of Sri Swamy's songs by 
Vanamaalika group. This was followed by another book release 
function. The English translation of Sri Mukkur 
Swamy's "Mattapalliyil Malarnda Maraiporul", entitled "kO dAtA?' ?
 `Who is the giver?', was released by Sri U.Ve.Pazhaveri Sadagopa 
Chariyar who was Sri Swamy's teacher during his paatashala days. Sri 
U.Ve.S.V.S.Raghavan, Dr.Nalli Kuppuswamy and Smt. Girija Seshadri 
received the first copies of the book. 

        Sri U.Ve.Velukkudi Krishanan delivered an eloquent speech on 
the Aacharya Lakshanams and how all of them rightly indwelling 
inside Sri Mukkur Swamy, recollecting specific experiences for each 
of the lakshanams. Sri Thirunaavukkarasu of Vaanathi Pathippagam 
also reminisced on his experiences with Sri Swamy.

        The Mahothsavam continues at Sri Swamy's `sva kshetram' Sri 
Mattapally from 25.6.2004 to 03.7.2004 (Aani Pooradam). During the 
week long celebrations, it is proposed to have Veda Paarayanam  by 
learned scholars in all the Vedas, Divya Prabandham, daily thrikala 
pujas to Sri Swamy's deities as well as Sri Mattapallynathan, 
Dolotsavams, upanyasams in Tamil and Telegu, rendering of devotional 
songs, devotional cultural events and thadeeyaradhanams to devotees. 
All are invited to take part in this `once in a lifetime' Mahotsavam 
and receive the blessings of Sri Swamy and Sri Mattapally divya 
dampathis.
