Tomorrow, Dec. 7, 2001(KArthigai - Magam) is the Thirunakshatram
day of Srimath ChinnAndavan - Sri PAdukA sEvaka rAmAnuja mahA
dEsikan.

Let us all recite this mahan's thaniyan on His thirunakshatram day.

Sriman naatha muneendra yaamuna muni Srisamya mindraathmanaha
Sri Srivasa muneendra dEsika maNE: praapthaaga maanthath dvayam
Sri rangEsha padhE thadharpithaBHaram Sri paadukasevaka
Sri raamaanuja yoginam guruvaram vandhe dayaasaagaram

This is the Continuation of Posting on Life History of
Srimath ChinnAndavan. This is the Fourth Volume in the
series.

dAsan,
vEnkatanAthan SreenivAsan
Srimath Andavan Thiruvadi

======================================================

When SrinivAsarAghavan swami received the "ThirumaNN katti", He looked at
it and took it to his gruham and
applied "Sri ChoorNam" to it and wrapped the "ThirumaNN
katti" back into banana leaf and prayed to the disciple to
hand it over to Srimath pEriAndavan.

When the disciple went back and reported the incident to
Srimath pEriAndavan, pEriAndavan was very much pleased and
decided that SrinivAsarAghavan swAmi was the right person to
succeed Him as the AchAryA of the pEriAsramam. In the
meantime, pEriAndavan's health deteriorated.

After a few days, SrinivAsarAghavan swAmi went back to
Srirangam from vELianallur and prostated before srimath
pEriAndavan and prayed to him that he be granted
sanyAsA. With great modesty, he went through the explanation
of qualification of oneself to take up sanyAsA thereby
indicating his readiness for the same. Like Vibheeshana's
conversation with Lord Sri Rama, swAmi told srimath
pEriAndavan that he did "Sarvasanga parithyAgam",
completely renouncing samsAra bhandham and prayed to Srimath
pEriAndavan to grant Him sanyAsA. Srimath pEriAndavan was
filled with extreme happiness to have chosen the right
successor and granted SrinivAsarAghavan swAmi , sanyAsA on
an auspicious day. He was given the title "Sri PAdukA sEvaka
rAmAnuja mahA dEsikan".
