Dear Bhakthas!

thanks for reading and enjoying my anuhbhavams on Desikan
manglAsAsanam. Now adiyen, continues from the previous mail.

The next day 12-Oct was the Desikans ThiruavAthAra thinam.
After returning from Thirukkachi the day before, at thUpul,
desikan took thirumanjanam and dressed well for the mangalAsAsanam.

Adiyen reached thUpul at 6.00 AM. Again, from 6.30 AM onwards
they started kHOshti pArAyanam. At first, desikan worhsiped his
nithyArathana perumal Lakshmi hayagrIvar, vilakoli perumal, thayar.
Then he came out and worshiped three divya desam emperumAns by
turning towards each divya desam directions. First, to namperumal
(Srirangam), pErarulAlan (thirukacchi), malayappan (Thirumala).
This is the place where we can see, achArya Swamy desikan will
worship three divya desam perumAls by turning towards corresponding
directions. Then, Swamy was given nivEthanam and moved to his 
birthplace near to thUpul temple. At his birthplace, he was given, 
upachArams and took rest for some time.

Then swamy will move inside thUpul temple again to perform 
manglAsAsanam to his beloved nithyAradhana Perumal Lakshmi HayagrIvar.
Then, to Vilakkoli perumal, thAyar, andAl at thUpul temple.
Then after mangalAsasanam, arulappAdu, mariyAthai to swamy,
theertham, sadAri to swamy. During this, the garland from the
moolavar perumal and sAlvai was given to Swamy Desikan as mariyAthai.
Then, sadAri will be placed at five places on the thirumEni
of Desikan. It is told that, only to Swamy Desikan, sadAri will
be placed five times, not even for alwars, other achAryAs.
While doing this, one person will tell Kattiyam to Swamy. THis is 
indeed a great to see this. To perform mangalAsAsanam to Kachchi
PErarulAlan, HE(PErarulAlan) send HIS Pallakku to thUpul, for Desikan 
to come on Pallauku to Aththigiri. The pallakku which is used by
PErarulAlan during the Utsavams was given to Swamy Desikan for
performing mangalAsAsanam by PErarulAlan HIMSELF. This is great
gift to Swamy.

Swamy well decorated, sat on PErarulAlans' Pallakku to move
towards Aththigiri. Before moving, Swamy entered into nearby
parakAla madam to get mariyAthai from sarvathanthra swathanthrar
and nainAchAryar (Swamys' son) from parakAla mutt. Swamy was
greeted and given maryAthai in the mutt. Then swami left to Aththigiri
to perform mangalAsasanam to PErarulAlan-Varathan-DevAthirajan.

The travelling of Swamy from thUpul to Aththigiri is great to
see by everyone. Before AchAryAs pallakku, six biggg kodai's will go
infront.  Swamy will proceed in streets as RAJA vEEDHI ULA. Front 
prabhanda koshti, thirukodai, vAthya koshti, Swamy in Pallakku, vedha 
pArayana khosti along with bhakthAs including adiyen travelled with 
Swamy Desikan along the streets to reach Aththigiri to see 
pErarulAlan. Adiyen could see some peoples eagerly waiting for 
AcharyAs visit to Aththigiri and welcomed Swamy by offerings.
Then swamy entered into temple to vAhana Mandapam, where he was given 
mariyathai by nainAchAryar, thatha desikan (disciples of Swamy). Then 
Swamy moved inside the temple to perform mangalAsAsanam to Nrusimhar. 
Everywhere after doing mangalAsasanam to respective perumal, Desikan 
will receive mariyathai (maalai which was worned by respective 
perumal), theertham, sadAri with Kattiyam. The order with
which Swamy performed mangalAsAsanam was first, karudar (Swamy is 
having more relationship with KaruAlwar, by penancing Karudar at 
Oushadri(Thiruvaheendrapuram)KarudAlwar appeared and teached Desikan 
to worship Hayagrivar for knowledge- HayagrIva Stotram, Karuda 
Thandakam by Swamy Desikan), nrusimhar, Ramar(Raghuveera
Gadyam by Desikan), Madapalli Nachiyaar,andAl (GOthaa Sthuthi by 
Desikan), sEnai mudaliar, dhanvanthri, malayala naachiyar, then 
Desikan entered into thAyar Sannidhi.

Inside thAyar sannidhi, Gopala krishnan mangalAsAsanam by chanting 
Gopala Vimsathi by Desikan, then thAyAr gave Ekantha sEvai to Desikan 
and mangalAsAsanam (SrI Sthuthi, BhUSthuthi by Desikan) to thAyAr. 
After receiving mariyadahi, prasAdam from thAyar now, it's time for 
Desikan to perform mangalAsAsanam to Aththigiri varadhan, 
pErarulAlan, Devaraja Perumal, ArulAla PerumAl.

Since the date of Desikan AvathAra Star Thiruvonam Purattasi 
coincided with the Purattasi Navaratri festival of thAyar this year, 
divya thampathis were present TOGETHER(sErthi seva) in kannadi 
mandapam. Hence this time, desikan didnt climbed the footsteps
of Aththigiri hills to perform mangalAsAsanam to Varadar. Instead 
Swamy Desikan went to meet Divya thampathis present together as 
sErthi seva in Kannadi Mandapam. There Swamy was taken inside near to 
the perundevi thayar sametha pErarula perumal.Swamy was as close as 
to Perumal and thAyAr. Even when Swamy was in Vibhavam might
not had close darshan of perumal and thAyAr as of now in 
mangalAsAsanam mahotsavam. The gap might be 1 or 2 feets between 
divya thampathis and Swamy Desikan. After some time, Swamy will be 
taken apart from divya thampathis and honoured by Varathan by
putting HIS garland to Swamy, then mariyathai, theertham,pushpam, 
chandan, sadAri will be given with kattiyam. At this time, after 
mangalAsAsanam, one can see real water droplets(sweating)on the face 
of Swamy Desikan. But since this time, inside KannAdi mandapam was 
full of air conditioned, all couldnt able to see the sweating on 
Swamy's face. Adiyen was too disappointed.

Then started the great event of sending Swamy Desikan (vazhi 
anupputhal) by divya thampathis. Indeed this was the great one that 
everyone should enjoy the anubhavam of being with AchAryar
Swamy Desikan along Divya Thampathis. Adiyen could say thousand times 
(as sahasranama), about sending Desikan after mangalAsAsanam by 
pErarulAlan and thAyAr was......(Adiyen couldnt find the correct 
suitable word to explain the anubhavam...................)
Adiyen reveals that bhagavathas those who witnessed that would never 
forget the beauty walk of pErarulAlan with HIS consorts(ubhaya 
nAchimars) and perundevi thAyAr with single Poo charam. Adiyen 
attained the Piravi payan of birth. At this time, bagavathas are 
seeing both the AchArya as well as perumal,thayar. Only this time, 
one can have seva of acharya with divya thampathis. Then Swamy was 
taken slowly back followed by divya thampathis to send off and thank 
the AchArya who performed mangalAsAsanam on THEM.

According to tradition, if any bagavathA comes to our home, before 
leaving, the house person has to go along with the bagavathA till 
house gate or entrance to give send off. Similarly, here divya 
thampathis went along with Desikan till the entrance. This was great 
to witness by adiyen. Another famous was alankAram of pErarulAlan 
during this procession. HIS hair was decorated with mOondru adukku 
kOndai (kOdAli mudichu) which every one enjoyed. By seeing this, 
adiyen could remember, thats why alwars says pErarulAlan is not only 
beauty in front but also HE is so as beauty as front at back also.
Adiyen was at the back of pErarulAlan for some time to drink the 
beauty of HIM and middle of pErarulAlan and acharya to see HIS beauty 
of wearing only single mallikai poocharam. This poocharam will be 
finally presented to Desikan by pErarulAlan as last mariyAthai. Then 
for establishing the sidhdantha, Desikan was honoured by flower rain 
(PUSHPA VRISHTI) by pErarulAlan. After some time our Swamy Desikan 
without able to say goodbye to our divya thampathis with sad in his 
face, departed from there. With that, adiyen was also, departed from 
there to reach Chennai by recollecting the unforgettable moments of 
Desikan Mangalasasanam to Perundevi thayar sametha PErarulAlan. 
Adiyen prays to pErarulAlan to make adiyen and other bAgavathAs to 
attend this event every year by HIS grace.
