Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
 
Dear Sri Srikanth,
 
Thanks a lot for such a great writeup on the wonderful experience you had.  Adiyen couldn't resist tears rolling down my cheeks on reading your following lines:
With a very heavy heart and telling the local people that we have given our Lord (our daughter) in marriage to their Son and requested them  to take care of our perumal ver well. we left the place
The anubhavam is still lingring in our minds and the moment we think of our lord our eyes get moistened as though we have left him there in the hands of Dewaswom Board.
 
We were not blessed enough to be there during the samprokshanam and be part of the history.  But azhvar and perumal gave us a divine EkAntha darshan when we visited the divine place this weekend.  It was really a very great amazing experience to witness a temple in Kerala built in TN temple style following Pancharatra Agama.  Truely there is some attraction in the temple as we didn't feel like leaving the place at all.

Subject: [ramanuja] Personal Account of Samprokshanam of Sri Srinivasa Perumal Kulasekhara Azhwar temple in Thiruvanjikalam


Dear Bhagavathas,
I  was personally there to witness what all had been posted in the earlier mails regarding this historical event.
Sri. U.Ve A. Krishnamachary swamy of Sri Vaishnava Sri told us that the history of constructing a temple for an azhwar is being repeated after nearly 800 years. ie after manavala mamunigals time. Hence we were were all a part of the history.
A temple with an architecture which you find in tamilnadu with pancharatra agama.

The local crowd was overwhelmed by seeing our lord utsavamurthy so near to them. decorated in a ananda sayanam with the two pirattis doing thiruvadi kainkaryam. - The local crowd has always seen god smaller in size in the lights of a thiruvilakku only.

The local crowd was also thrilled to have different types of prasadam which was distributed to them on all the days

There was also a thadiaradhanam arranged for the local people the previous day of the samprokshanam in which they had to their hearts content. The thadhiaradhanm started at 11.00 AM and went on till 3.00 pm with for each pandhi some 150 people had lunch.

On the eve of Samprokshanam day there was colorful display of fireworks lighting the whole place.

The next day the ghosthi began at 6.30 AM and went on to clock precision. All the credit should go to Thirukoshtiyor Madavan who conducted it in avery nice and orderly manner.

As posted by Sriman Murali seshadri we were all surprised to see T. Madavan healthy and running around to do kainkaryam to our lord.

Three elephants were brought decorated in a typical kerala style for the occassion. Also we had Jandai vadhyam along with our traditional Melam

The samprokshanam took place at 9.50 AM  and the after the samprokshanam the utsavamurthies of lord along with Sree and Bhoo devis and Kulasekara Azhwar were placed in their respective sanctom Sanctorium and the doors of the Moolavar were closed.

After the samprokshanm the doors were opened by Our Swamy, His elder Brother Sriman Raman Samy, and the builder Sriman Ramanujam Swamy and the place reverberated with the shouts of Govindha Govindha Govindha Govindha.

Immediately the local crowd who were not allowed to enter the temple during the samprokshanam were allowed first to have darshan of the lord and as usual as we see in thirumala there was a heavy surge of people in such a small temple and we had a heavy task of regulating the people to come in line.

One localite was heard saying that quote" Every year I make it a point to go to thirupathi Now the lord has come so near to me It is as if Iam standing in front of thiruvengadamudiyan" Unquote

After the local crowd darshan the grand Sattrumurai was held at 11. 45 AM for 45 minutes to one hour .

After the sattrumurai all the adhayapaka swamys were honoured by our swamy with a sambhavanai.

At 3.00 PM we had the thirukalaya utsavam of Lord Srinivasa and the local  crowd was present in large numbers so witness the thirukalyana mahotsavam.

The samprokshanam and the thirukalyana utsavams was well attended by the Cochin Devasawom Board people from president , commissioner etc and the local Dewaswom board reprasentative. They were all honoured by H.H. Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar Swamy.

Our swamy dedicated this temple in the memory of Keerthi murthy Karapangadhu Varadhacharya swamy and his  four disciples

After the Thirukalayana utsavam there was thiruveedhi Purrapadu of lord along with Nachiyars and  Kulasekara azhwar.

With a very heavy heart and telling the local people that we have given our Lord (our daughter) in marriage to their Son and requested them  to take care of our perumal ver well. we left the place

The anubhavam is still lingring in our minds and the moment we think of our lord our eyes get moistened as though we have left him there in the hands of Dewaswom Board.
But we also know that our lord knows how to take care of himself and we can wish that this is first step in bringing the kerala crowd also to thirumala else the keep wandering into some other hills

I just wanted to share my anubhavam with all the people in our group
Kindly pardon me if there are any mistakes in my posting
I remain

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan
S.Srikanth
