Svasthi SrI:

Dear AasthikAs :

This morning , we were blessed with the anugraha 
BhAshaNam of HH Sri NaarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA 
Desikan  ( Prakrutham Srimath Azhagiya Singar) 
from SelayUr , Chennai , where the Malola PaadhukA 
Sevakar is camping with His AarAdhana Moorthy , 
Periya Periya PerumAL , Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan .

He recalled fondly the recently concluded SathAbhishEkam
at Srirangam and highlighted the aspects of which that touched 
His heart very much :

1. Location of Srirangam , where 15 years ago He was selected 
to become the successor to HH MukkUr Azhagiya Singar , who
built the towering South Gopuram for Lord RanganAtha. It is
appropriate for us to recall that there were 5,000  AasthikAs ,
who attended the Aasarama Sveekara uthsavam of Prakrutham 
Azhagiya Singar and 25,000 sishyAs and Abhimaanis as well
as Ubhaya Vedaantha Scholars attended the grand SathAbhishEkam
at Srirangam .

2. The Veda PaarAyaNam by 750 Vedic experts , who recited 
the four Vedams including some in Kramam , Jadai , Ghanam 
modes . Srimath Azhagiya Singar pointed out His Aaardhya Moorthy ,
Sarva Karma SamArAdhyan , MalOlan swung gently in His Dolai 
and listened intently to the Veda ViNNappam from the assembled
scholars and enjoyed the PaarAyaNams . All the 750 Veda PaarAyaNam
participants were recognized on the Thirunakshathram day 
with feliciatory citations and grand sambhAvanais . The Vedic 
Pandits fully appreciated the unique recognition given to their 
fields of specialization in Veda bhAgams and modes of rendering 
them in front of MalOlan embracing with affection Sri Devi seated on
His left thigh , while gently going back and forth on His dolai .

3. The Vidhvath Sathas that assembled every afternoon after
the day's TadhiyArAdhanam . Advanced Scholars in Sri BhAshyam
and other fields took part and there was room for budding Scholars 
as well to show their vidvath .Every one of them were recognized 
and appropriate SambhAvanais were given . The top fifteen Scholars 
recived sambhAvanai of 40,000 Rupees that covered Cash of 10,000 Rs, 
One savaran Gold coin , half a kilo Silver vessel for use in daily 
anushtAnam , PonnAdai/Saalvai ( worth Rs.3,500 ) and travel 
expenses . Junior  VidwAns in were encouraged to feel 
comfortable at this Mahaa Sadas and were recognized appropriately .

4. Both the Veda PaarAyaNam and Vidvath sathas along with
daily upanyAsams in uLL Desikan Sannidhi at the Srirangam 
Temple . This sannidhi for Swamy Desikan is right in front of
Sri RanganAyaki in Her TanikkOil .That is two furlongs away 
from Her Lord's sannidhi . Until 150 years ago , after Viswa 
Roopam seavi , the garlands worn by Sri RanganAyaki were 
presetned to Swamy Desikan by the archakAs in recognition
of Sri RanganAyaki giving the title of Sarva Tantra Svatantrar
to Swamy Desikan .

5. TadshiyArAdhanam for attendees at the Uthsavam for all
the days of the Uthsavam at Multiple places . No one went hungry 
at any time . 

6. Approximately 6 crores were sent in handling all the above expenses 
and the sishyAs had poured in 6-7 crores as their SamarpaNams .
Hence Srimath Azahgiya Singar did not have to dip into core funds
reserved for other Kaimakryams .

7. SishyAs also presented Malolan with nearly 2 crores worth of 
AbharaNams . Other sishyas cover the expenses for the construction
of the huge hall next to the DasAvathAra Sannidhi built originally by 
Thirumangai AzhwAr .

8. PattiNa PravEsam : A wonderful Pattina Pravesam in a highly
decorated Palanquin borne by Sri matam SishyAs took place .
As a Raaja SanyAsi , Srimath Azhagiya Singar is entitled to 
riding in Pallakku . The ride thru two major Raaja veedhis of 
Lord Rangarajan took place on the night before Thirunakshathram
to the accompaniment of Veda PaarAyaNam , Multiple Naathaswara 
ghOshtis , KolAttam by the Ladies , Dancing horses and walking
elephants . The residents of the Utthara and Chitthara Veedhis
presented PoorNakumbhams and MaryAdhais and were blessed 
with Phala MantrAkshathai .

All of these acitvites pleased Sriamth Azahgiya Singar and HH thanked
every one who contributed to the enormous success of His SathAbhishEka
Uthsavam . 

In the next posting , adiyEn will sumamrize Srimath Azhagiya Singar's
anugraha BhAshaNam on the unique   AakAra Thrayam aspects of
Sri DEvi in our sampradhAyam and the Yeka Seshithvam doctrine
of the dhivya dampathis . Srimath Azhagiya Singar touched also on
the Abhaya Hastham and Thiruvadi of Lord Ranganthan and their
significance for us all .

Srimath Azhagiya Singar Thiruvadi ,
Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil V.Sadagopan
