This being the concluding posting of this series it is adiyen's humble request 
to all bhagavatas to please consider this as adiyen's personal anubhavam and no 
insult or nothing against the poorvacharya anubhavams/vyakhyanams is intended. 
It is adiyen's involvement towards Parthasarathi and thiruvallikeni divya desam 
that had made adiyen write such a series. There may be many places not 
acceptable to many but still let this be considered as just one other anubhavam 
of an ignorant soul blabbering something ("neesanEn niraiondrumilEn en kan 
pAsam vaiththa paramsudar jOdhikkE" "elaiya pun kavidhaiyElum empirArkku 
eniyavArE"). Right or wrong adiyen is sure that this series will be enjoyable 
to both Parthasarathi emperuman and all his devotees. What else to say other 
than his divine grace (nirheduka krupai) that had made the lowest of the lowest 
jeevatma like adiyen to write a few words about emperuman and his greatness.



We will conclude this series just spotting one great occasion to add to our 
anubhavam. In the previous posting we saw that MA had indirectly did 
mangalasasanams to our dear Parthasarathi. Do you know how sArathi honours MA 
for the same? It is only on the avarthAra dinam of MA, chittiraiyil chittirai 
does parathasarathi start his grand yearly brahmotsavam. It is like sArathi 
celebrating the divine avataram of MA to show the greatness of an acharya to 
this world for 10 days. And on top of all this on that day parthasarathi gives 
divine darshan to MA in the 'pinna kalai vAhanam' as kutti kannan with a flute 
in hand. Just for all your information there is one another similar happening 
in thiruvallikeni when Narasimhan/Azhagiya singan during his brahmotsavam 
honours periazhvar (on Ani swathi). Periazhvar did mangalasasanams to 
narasimhan in his very first prabhandam thiruppallAndu as "andhiyam pOdhil 
ariyuruvAgi ariyai azhiththavanai pandhanai teera pallAndu 
pallAyiraththAndendru pAdudhumE".



[Blessed were the souls who witnessed the divine sevai of periazhvar on a small 
yanai vahanam doing mangalAsAsanams to azhagiya singan on top of garudan this 
year.]



There is no end to adiyen's anubhavams with parthasarathi/thiruvallikeni but a 
great fear in adiyen's mind keeps on asking me to put a stop to writing more 
and more. Will not "evil eyes" fall on my dear parthasarathi? So due to that 
fear of kandrishti adiyen is concluding for now. Adiyen's humble request to all 
the bhagavatas to do mangalAsAsanams to thiruvallikeni and all emperumans over 
there including all the azhvars and acharyas under the divine service of the 
lord in archa roopam. Adiyen's fear increases due to the recent disheartening 
incidents in thirumala. Thirumalai by itself is considered very sacred by our 
poorvacharyas "malaiyE thiruvudambu" swamy emperumAnAr hesitated even to put 
his feet on the thirumalai though he himself was seshAvataram. But that divine 
place is in a very sad state today. AnanthAzhvan, was a very close disciple of 
emperumanar who practiced madurakavi bhavam to the maximum extent. That is why 
people in his lineage still call themselves as 'madurakavi dasan'. AnanthAzhvan 
considered the kainkaryam allotted to him by his acharya as more important even 
to the bhagavat sevai. He considered even the ants in thirumalai to be some 
nithya soori. Kulasekara perumal wanted a birth atleast as a step in thirumalai 
"padiyAi kidandhu vun pavalavAi kAnbEnE" "emperumAN pon malai mEl edEnum AvEnE" 
We even today call the divine step near the emperuman sannadhi only as 
"kulasekaran padi" Amidst all these greatness how come such atrocities are 
going on in thirumalai? How are we Srivaishnavas still keeping quiet taking 
care of just our personal needs? Will we keep quiet if our father is in danger, 
if his place is blasted with bombs? Unfortunate vandalism has struck that 
divine place held so close to the hearts of azhvars and acharyas. In 
thiruvaimozhi, azhvar choose only thirumalai padhigam to deliver the dvayArtham 
to all ("ozhivil kAlamellam" and "vulagamunda peruvAyA"). The same 
thiruvenkatamudaiyan came down to thiruvallikeni as venkata Krishnan to explain 
the charama slokArtham to one and all not just by words but also with his 
divine darshan (his thirumeni talks the divine rahasyam). Emperuman came down 
for all our welfare but hope the virus of scandalling of emperuman's property 
doesn't descend not only to thiruvallikeni but also to any other divya desam. 

Let us all join together and sing mangalAsAsanam especially to 
thirumalai/thiruvenkatamudaiyan (undergoing such pain today), 
thiruvallikeni/Parthasarathi and to all the emperumans at all the divya desams. 
May the lords stay amidst the crowd of devotees who love and care for the lord. 
May commercialization and selfishness not enter the divya desams and Srivaishna 
community and spoil the divine atmosphere.
