SrI:
Dear SishyAs and AbhimAnis of SrI Matam
:
It is my pleasure to let you all know that
Srimath Azhagiya Singar's Health is
improving
slowly . He is able to attend to His Aasramam
responsibilities . The KaimkaryaparALs and the
Doctors
are taking very good care .
After Srimath Azhagiya Singar's trip to
Thirumala
for the Annamayyaa Vardhanthi celebrations and
MangaLAsAsanam of Malayappa Swamy ,
Srimath
Azhagiya Singar returned to SelayUr safely
.
Saint AnnamAchArya and the Founding
Jeeyar of Sri Matam
Sri AnnamAchArya was a key and early disciple of
Sri Adhi VaNN
SaThakOpa Jeeyar at Thirumala . Sri AnnamAchArya
stayed for many years with Sri Adhi VaNN
SathakOpa
Jeeyar and performed AchArya Kaimkaryams ,
while
attending to Ubhaya VedAntha KaalakshEpams there
.
Annamayya learnt about the esoteric doctrines of
VisishtAdhvaitham and SaraNAgathy from the Great
Jeeyar , who had recieved SanyAsAsramam
from
the Lord of Ahobilam Himself . Steeped in
AchArya
and Bahgavath Bhakthi , Annamayya offered
atleast
one song per day at the Sannidhi of Sri VenkatEsa
.
He composed keerthanams on the Lord of
Thirumala ,
Ahobilam , AchArya RaamAnuja and Adhi VaNN
SaThakOpa
Jeeyar in addition to many sankeerthanams on
AlamelumangA
ThAyAr , who nourished him with Bhagavath
PrasAdham ,
when he had fained by the roadside during his
climb
to Thirumala,
In one of the Sankeerthanams about his AchAryan ,
Annamayya says (Translation :Ambika Ananth &
Advitheeya Dixit ):
" Behold ! He is
easily approachable by all !
Hari is
the constant companion of this Sage
He is the golden
pathway to the final destination
He is the sole personification of Purity
.
To Viraja , He is the Boat
He is the
brilliant lamp that provides effulgernce to the World .
He is the raft to cross the
ocean of SamsAra .
The Lord of
Srirangam , Lord Varada of Kaanchi
Lord Narasimha of Ahobilam--these being
His supreme goal
Here He is , Sri SaThakOpa Muni ! "
To celebrate this specail
AchArya-Sishya Sambhandham , the SishyA's
Prapatthi at the sacred feet
of Malolan with the intercession of
Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar
and the divine interaction between
these two great MahAthmAs and
the simultaneous presence
of both at Thirumala to serve
the Lord , the annual Vardhanthi
celebrations have been
conducted in presence of the Azhagiya Singars .
Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar
took part in this year's vardhanthi
as is the custom at Thirumala
and Sri Matam .
2. AarAdhanam with 1,000 Lotus Flowers :
Today , Sriamth Azhagiya Singar is taking
part in
a special AarAdhanam for SelayUr Sri
Malola
Lakshmi Narasimhan Sannidhi WITH TOUSAND
LOTUS
FLOWERS .
Among all the flowers used in
Archanaa for
the Lord , Kanaka (Golden) and
Lotus flowers
head the list of the most
sacred flowers
according to Aagama
Saasthrams
.
Even the thought of
assembling 1,000 red lotuses and
using them in the
worship of the Lord is a superhuman
task . That was
accomplished by Srimath Azhagiya Singar
today at SelayUr
.
You might recall that this
Sannidhi was created by
Srimath Azhagiya Singar few
years ago to serve as
a focal point for BhakthAs to
assemble for worship ,
when He is away on SanchAram
. The PrathishtA
Dina uthsavam for three days
was completed on Feb 9
with Sri Nrusimha Sudarsana
Japa Homam and Sri
PaadhukA Sahasra PaarAyaNam
by SelayUr ANDAL
Ghoshti . The Moola Moorthy at this
Sannidhi is as large as
the MalOlan in Ahobilam and
gives us His benovolent
darsanam with a five headed
Aadhi Seshan and
Garudan at His foot step .
This Malolan also adorns
His PaadhukA
.
3. The deep desire for a New
Kaimkaryam in 2007
It is the hope and prayer of many
Ahobila Matam
SishyAs and abhimAnis that a Lotus
pond be constructed
in Ahobila KshEthram to grow Lotus
flowers for use in
the nithyArAdhanam for PrahlAdha
Varadhan
at Lower Ahobilam
.
It is also their
hope that a Nanda Vanam be also
constructed
there for growing TuLasi and Flowers for
NithyArAdhanam .
Srimath Azhagiya
Singar has blessed
this proposal and hopefully
we all can start
the construction activities later
this year
after the ChAthurmAsyam
. This is just
advanced
information for all who wish to
participate .
Those interested are requested to
contact adiyEn .
