Dear AchArya Ramanuja Darsana SampradhAyins
:
It was adiyEn's bhAgyam to recieve these
wonderful
pictures of a MahOtsavam for Swamy Desikan
and
Sri MalOla PaadhukA Sevaka Sri Adhi VaNN
SaThakOpa
Jeeyar , the first PeetAdhipathi of Sri
Ahobila Matam .
The tEjas and tranquility on the faces of
these two great
AchAryAs are matchless . The devotion of
the citizens of
Nellore, AP and the Board of Trustees
of this 200 year old temple at
Nellore deserve special salutations .
Thank you Sriman VaradarAjan
for such magnificent utsavams for our
revered AchAryAs in
such a grand manner . A dear friend advised
me that
this Nellore Temple was a regular stop on
the way to Vada Naadu Tiruppathys for
Srimad
Azhagiya Singars in the old days ,
when they travelled
by bullock carts during their sanchArams.
Sri VaradarAjan Swamy : Thank you for
sharing these pictures .
When we release future eboks in our
SrI HayagrIvan series ( http://www.srihayagrivan.org)
,
we look forward to using some of these
delightful
pictures .
Meanwhile , adiyEn requests travellers
to Thirumala
from Chennai to stop at the Nellore
temple for Lord
VenkatEsa and visit the sannidhis of
Swamy Desikan
and Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar
.
" satheeva PriyabhartAram Jananeeva
stanandhayam
AchAryam Sishyavanmitram
mitravallAlayEdh Harim"
(Meaning): As the Pativrataa Patnee serves
Her Husband,
as Mother serves Her infant by providing
nourishment ,
as Sishyan serves his AchAryan , we should
worship
the Lord .
As Prakrutam Srimad Azhagiya Singar points
out
AchArya AbhimAnam is SvAbhAvika Sambhandha
Varga anuroopa kaimkarya Vrutti for gaining
Paratva Soulabhya
anugraham
.
AchAryAs have been saluted as the bees (
VaNDukaL)
who place us at the matchless and sacred
lotus feet of
our Lord , ThiruviNNagarappan ( Sri
VaikuntanAthan):
" Yemmeesar ViNNOrpirAnAr maasil
malaradikkeezh
yemmaic-chErvikkum VaNDukaLE ".
AchAryAs place us at the sacred feet of our
Lord
and make it possible for us to perform all
types of
Kaimkaryams for the divine Couple (
dhivya Mithunam).
This is the significance of sending Vandus
as messengers
to the Lord by ANDAL and Swamy NammAzhwAr
in their
prabhandhams .
A Temple like the Nellore SrinivAsa
Temple highlighting
the mahOpakArams of our AchAryAs is a
special temple
and our prayers are with you , Sriman
VaradarAjan ,
for the continued visesha
celebrations of such Utsavams
.
Swamy Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam
