Vanamamalai, otherwise called nAnguneri is a beautiful divya desam in the 
southern district of Tamil Nadu, Thirunelveli.  Swamy NammAzhvar adorns this 
divya desam as Sirivaramangala nagar.  This wonderful divyadesam for centuries 
is under the control of the esteemed Vanamamalai mutt.  Probably adiyen should 
rewrite the above statement as: The pontiffs of Vanamamalai mutt, being blessed 
with this unique opportunity, with great honour and pleasure do selfless 
kainkaryam to Sirivaramanga sametha deivanayaka perumal with atmost ecstasy.  
This is one such divya desam where the thayar (piratti) has been granted 
special powers by emperuman himself.  Srivaramangai nachiyar, originally 
belongs to thirumala.  Since thiruvenkatamudaiyan is celebrated as 
alarmelmangai urai mArban he didn't cherish a separate nachiyar sannadhi.  
Hence this nachiyar remained desolated.  When the first pontiff of Vanamamalai 
mutt, HH Sri Ponnadikkal Jeeyer swamy visited Thirumalai, thayar appeared in 
the dream and instructed swamy to take her with him to Vanamamalai.

 

The same order was placed to HH Sri Periya kelvi appan Jeeyer swamy also.  
Therefore, understanding the wish of piratti HH Sri Periya kelvi appan swamy 
made all arrangements for the travel of Piratti from thirumalai to vanamamalai 
and henceforth HH Sri Ponnadikkal swamy attained the status of father to 
srivaramangai nachiyar.  On reaching vanamamalai, swamy welcomed thayar to the 
mutt and rushed to Deivanayaka perumal's sannadhi to get the permission for the 
wedding.  With the acceptance of perumal the grand wedding of the divine 
couples was grandly celebrated in front of Onnana swamy (HH Sri Ponnadikkal 
swamy, father-in-law to deivanayaka perumal).  Our swamy thus obtained the post 
of father-in-law to perumal similar to janaka/periazhvar.

 

Due to this grand happening, Jeeyers from the vanamamalai mutt are given 
special honours at thirumalai.  So whenever a jeeyer from this mutt visits 
thirumalai, HH Sri Periya Kelvi appan swamy welcomes the Jeeyer and gives his 
own mutt for the Jeeyer of vanamamalai mutt to stay with special esteem.  
Thereby till this date there has never raised a necessity for a separate 
vanamamalai mutt in thirumalai in contrast to other divya desams.

 

But the conditions in thirumalai are changing.  The atrocities of the 
government and TTD authorities in the recent past and the present state of even 
the Periya Jeeyer mutt is well known to all Srivaishnavas.  So it is now time 
to give our support and hence it has become necessary for a separate 
vanamamalai mutt to strengthen our power in the activities at thirumalai.  
Being a very old mutt, it is absolutely necessary for it to be present in the 
second renowned divya desam of the Srivaishnavas.  Due to the divine grace of 
alarmel mangai urai mArban (thiruvenkatamudaiyan) the efforts of our revered 
acharyan, HH Sri kaliyan ramanuja Jeeyer swamy has become fruitful.  A land has 
been allocated by TTD themselves for this purpose.  The estimate of 
construction of the mutt is about 80 lacs.  Isn't it our prime duty to take 
part in this divine acharya kainkaryam?  This will make not only the acharya 
but all our poorvacharyas and ofcourse the divine couples happy.  Adiyen 
request all bhagavatas to contribute liberally for this divine cause.

 

In the next posting, we will enjoy a little about the two divya desas, 
THIRUMALAI AND VANAMAMALAI.
