SrI:
Dear Madhavakkannan Swamin:: adiyEn pranams::

During the thirunakshatram day of Sri Manavala Mamunigal Uthsavam, it
is nice to hear the logistics behind the selection of Sri Manavala
Mamunigal as AchAryan by Lord Sri Renganathan. As said by Him, let us
all surrender into his(Sri MM) lotus thiruvadi and obtain the nithya
kaimkaryam to Lord.

adiyEn,
senthil.b
