2. ADDENDUM TO MY REPORT ON MY VISIT TO INDIA
(Contained in SRS Vol.05/17 dated 27th April 2004)
----------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot to mention the meeting I had with another great
Yathisreshta at Sri Rangam, namely H.H. Jeeyar of Sri
Ranganathaswamy Kol (popularly known as the "Koil Jeeyar". Many of
you will remember the article about his visit to Tirumalai that was
widely reported in the media.
What is so special about his visit to Tirumalai?
In over 1000 years, he was the first "Srirangam Koil Jeeyar" to
visit Tirumalai and the "Tirumalai Koil Jeeyar" where he offered
Mangalaasaasanam to TiruvenkaTam uDaiyaan.
Another Information:
He is the Poorvaasrama father of Sri Narayana Bhattar, priest of the
temple at Cleveland, Ohio, who conducted "Sudarsana Homam" at my
Cleveland home
I called upon this Mahaan at his MaTam in North Uttara Street,
Srirangam, paid my obeisance to him both before and after the
functions. He was so pleased to know about the book release and
blessed me with Mantraakshadai.
