EXCERPTS: " The Dhivya dEsam of ThiruvahIndhrapuram/ThiruvEndipuram/ Thiru Ayindhai is located near Cuddalore in South Arcot district of Tamilnadu , India. The presiding deity is Lord DevanAthan who is also known as Adiyavarkku Meyyan, Achyuthan , MoovarAgiya Oruvan . His Divine Consort is revered as BhArgavi, Tarangamukha Nandini and Vaikunthavalli. The divya dEsam has been sanctified by the sacred poems of Thirumangai Azhwaar , who sang ten glorious hymns about the Lord of Thiru Ayindhai and the beauty of His dhivya dEsam. Right across Lord DevanAthA's temple , on a small hillock , is a shrine dedicated to Lord Hayagreeva , the Repository and granter of all knowledge . Thiruvendipuram is famous for another reason. It was here that a pillar of Shri VisishtAdvaitha, Swamy VedAntha Desikan spent more than four decades in the service of Lord DevanAthan and lORD HayagrIvan , beoming in the proess a KavitArkika Simham--lion among poets and logicians. The house where He lived and the well He constructed with His own hands some 700 years ago are still here .Here, Swamy Desikan composed many important SrI Sookthis in adoration of the matchless beauty and infinite kalyANa guNams of Lord DevanAthan . Another great Shri VaishNava AchArya, Shri MaNavALa Maamuni, has also performed MangaLAsAsanam of Lord DevanAthan. For all Shri VaishNavAs and their AchAryAs , ThiruvahIndhrapuram ranks very high in the list of dhivya dEsams to worship SrIman NaarAyaNa in the Archa form. If worship at ThiruvEnkatam confers prosperity ,worship at Thiru EvvuL AarOgyam , worship of Daasa Sathyan (The Lord who never fails His devotees) at Thiru Ayindhai grants one Moksha Sukham . A few devotees spread across the globe--U.S.A, India , Singapore, Indonesia, Australia , Kuwait , Reunion , Mauritius and New Zeeland--following SrI Bhagavath RaamAnuja SiddhAntham have taken it upon themselves to perform a once-in-a-lifetime kaimakryam of presenting to Uthsavar DevanAthan a RathnAngi ( Coat of armour encrusted with Rubies and other gems). These devotees have raised sofar one third of the required funds as seed capital . It is hoped that the rest of the needed funds will be raised before too long to complete the construction of the RathnAngi and present it to Uthsavar Lord DevanAthan before the end of this year. The Crown , Ear lobes , Sankha and Chakra have already been made and is bein worn periodically by Lord DevanAthan. Our task is to complete the RathnAngi from neck down to the hip , the two legs upto the shanks , the four arms and especailly Abhayahastham. Individual BhakthAs and their families are welcome to identify with the samarpaNam of any one of the (above)individual limbs of the Divine Body of Lord DevanAthan.
