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
