 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 
.
