*Adiyen dasasya vignaapanam. By the Anugrahams of Srimad Andavan Sri
Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan Swami, the 738 th Thirunakshathrothsavam of Swami
Desikan was celeberated in a grand manner at THIRUPPULLANI SRIMAD AANDAVAN
ASHRAMAM.*
**
* The Uthsavam was celeberated for 3 days from 10.10.2005 to 12.10.2005. On
10th, the Avathaara Dhinam of sri Thirukkudanthai Desikan was celeberated
with a special Thirumanjanam to Swami Desikan accompanied by Vedha, Divya
Prabhandha, Desika Prabhandha Parayanams and Chaththumurai followed by
Dadheeyaradhanam . In the evening after Parayanams and Desika Sthothra pada
parayanams, A sahasra nama archanai was performed to Desikan with the Desika
Sahasranamam composed by Sri Thirukkudanthai Desikan. In the night also
dadheeyaradhanam took place.*
**
* The next day, Special Thirumanjanams to Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva Perumal was
performed and parayanathis continued followed by Chaththumurai and
dadheeyaradhanams. As for others it was "Saraswathi Pooja" there was a large
gathering of devotees from many nearby places even to worship Hayagrivan on
that day who were very happy to receive the ghoshti prasadams . In the
evening after Prabhandha Parayanam, a sahasra nama archanai was performed to
Hayagriva Perumal. As the prabhandha adikarikal swamis from Srirangam were
very sincere and wellequipped, on both the days completion of these
sahasranama archanas needed nearly two and half hours which the local people
liked very much . Dadheeyaradhanam was also done.*
 * On the day of the Avathara Dhinam of Swami Desikan , in the morning Swami
Desikan Thirveethi Purappaadu was performed followed by special (really
special ) Thirumanjanam to Swami Desikan was performed witnessed by a few
hundred devotees from very far away places like Madurai, Bangalore,
Karaikkudi ,etc., and from in and around Ramanathapuram. (It was a surprise
as we thought that day being a VijayaDasami day which is being celeberated
by the Rajah of Ramanathapuram in a very very grand manner, devotees may
give priority to that event.) * *Sri Vasan, a very well known among the
Desika devotees and a person on whom Srimad Andavan and Azhakiya Singar
always shower their fullest anugrahams and who is responsible for training
more than a hundred Vaishnavites at Bombay and also at Madurai on
Prabhandham, Desika Prabhandham and Sthothra padams (he always wants to be
introduced as a humble Desika devotee and not as General Manager Canara
Bank) gave an lecture on Swami Desikan which reached and was well
appreciated by a large gathering of non Vaishnavites who attended in large
number. After that Theertha, parivatta maalai mariyathaikal alongwith a
special chakkarai pongal thaligai ( Sri Adhi Jagannatha Perumalum Padmasani
Thaayaarum Amuthu Seythathu) was brought by ALL THE ARCHAKAL AND the
kainkaryaparals of Sri Adhi Jagannatha Perumal Temple headed by the Temple
Peshkar( as representative of Ramnad Rajah) and Perumal Mariyathai was given
to Swami Desikan followed by Sri Hayagriva mariyathai afterwhich Periya
Chaththumurai took place. Kramappadi, Andavan Mariyathaiyum Raja
Mariyathiyum seyyappattathu.*
**
* On all the three days all the Archakal and kainkaryaparals of Perumal
Temple attended the Chaththumurai and were very cooperative.*
*Another speciality is that without any "KALABETHAM" all will attend and
help for the success of this Avathara Dhina celeberations.*
* Afterwards the Ghoshti special Dadheeyaradhanam was also done. All others
were also served with special chithrannams. ( As itharals of Thiruppullani
often appreciate Asrama Prasadams and openly requested for, it was nearly a
" oor chaappaadu"Which is always the Thiruvulam of Srimad Andavan.)*
**
* As usual, LIFCO CHENNAI, who have a special affinity on this Desikan
Sannithi, have sent "Sri Hayagriva Sthothram" booklet for free distribution.
Two other booklets --- "Sri Ayagireeva Maalai" a Tamil translation of Sri
Hayagriva Sthothram in verse form and "AARANA DESIKANIN AAYIRAM ARIVURAIKAL
" (printed and distributed by Sri Vijayaraghavan of Karur Vysya Bank, Karur
)---- were also released. All the three books were released by Sri Sadagopa
Iyengar,( advocate Ramanathapuram )President, Sri Padmasani Thayar Kainkarya
Sabai, Thiruppullani.*
**
* In this year , there was Perumal Kuthirai Vahana Purappaadu in view of
Vijaya Dasami in the morning and just immediately after Thirumanjanam and
chaththuppadi to Desikan were completed Perumal arrived before Ashramam and
as there was a huge crowd of devotees Perumal was in front of Desikan
Sannithi vaasal for more than 15 minutes . It was another bhagyam for all
the devotees.*
* *
 A*ll the three days Ladies who accompanied Athyapakals recited Sri Padhuka
Sahasram .*
* Sri Duraichamy Seshadri Iyengar of Srirangam who is the Desanthiri
kattalai upayadharar at Thiruppullani Ashramam sent pure silk vasthrams for
Swami Desikan and Hayagrivar worth a few thousand rupees and Srirangam
Pushpa maalaikal for Thirunakshathrothsavam (For the past several years he
is regularly doing this great kainkaryam)*
**
* In a very small village where everything -- from suitble Adhikaris
acharamana madaippallikarals,etc this grand celeberation was possible only
and only due to the Paramanugrahams of Srimad Andavan. No special appeals
for any donation was made except intimating the function through
invitations. But Ashrama Sishyas and Abhimanis from far and near voluntarily
and very liberally contributed because of their Acharya Bakthi and devotion
and involvement in Desika kainkaryams . As in charge and representative of
Srikaryam swami adiyenathu kruthagnaiyai kainkaryaththil porulal, udalal
marrum mudiyum vakaiyellam pangu konda perunthakaiyeer ellarukkum
vignaapiththukkolkiren. Thalaiyallal kaimmaru verillai *
