Dear Sri Venkat Srinivasan :
On this Panguni Pushyam and EkAdasi day , it is a
BhAgyam to recieve Your
mail on HH Sri Thirukkudanathai Andavan . It
brought back a lot of memories .
During the September 2004 Visit to Chennai for
the SamarpaNam of
RathnAngi for Lord Devanatha of
Thiruvaheendhrapuram , adiyEn
had the BhAgyam of staying 2 nights at
HH Srimath Andavan's
Poorvaasramam house at West Mambalam .
AdiyEn had the parama BhAgyam of being in the Pooja Graham of Srimath Andavan
and the darsana soubhAgyam of HH's and the PoorvAchArya PaadukhAs at HIs house .
HH's daughter in law is second cousin of mine and she lives in HH's house now at
West Mambalam .
adiyEn's father was a dear friend and Baalya
snEhithar of HH SrImath Andavan
from HH's Thirukkudanthai days . My father would
have been 100 this year
in Iypaasi Mrugaseerasham.
The wonderful coincedence was adiyEn's stay at HH's
house was just prior to the visit
to Thiruvaheendhrapuram was such an
auspicious happening . Swamy Desikan
must have willed it that way it looked since HH
Thirukkudanthai Andavan had the samarpaNam
of RathnAngi for Swamy Desikan some 3 decades ago .
This time , the samarpaNam
was for the Lord of Swamy Desikan .
When we arrived at Thiruvaheendhrapuram with
the RathnAngi from Chennai , it was the second day
of the annual PurattAsi Uthsavam for Swamy Desikan
. The palanquin of Swamy Desikan in Veethi
PuRappAdu just turned around the corner of the
Raaja Veethi as if Swamy Himself wanted to greet
the RathnAngi for His Lord and felt more
comfortable that He alone does not need to wear
anymore the RathnAngi as a result of the
magnificent particpation of His many BhakthAs from
all over the world . It looked like the cycle was
completed .
NamO Sri DeavanAthAya,
