Dear Sri Pattangi,

Thanks to your tip, I have succeeded in uploading [to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ramanuja/files/] the
photo of the Srirangam panel of mAmunikaL's
SribhAshyam kAlakshEpam.

The value of this painting consists in the fact that
it was originally mounted by Sri kandADai nAyan, son
of the renowned (vAdhUla-dESika) kOyil kandADai aNNan
(Sri varada nArAyaNa Guru), at the very spot where
mAmunikaL had imparted SribhAshyam to kOyil kandADai
aNNan and eRumbi appA. This information is available
in the richly informative publication, kOyil kandADai
aNNan tiru-mALikai prabhAvam, which is available with
the tirumALikai. This panel was periodically got
renewed, last on July 10 2004.

The photograph was taken by my elder brother,
tirumanjanam Kannan.

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,
tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.

Subject:        [ramanuja] mA-munikaL pictures.

It was like receiving a benediction to see the
excellent photos of the tiruvallikkENi mA-munikaL
utsavam (as carried in the internet).

By the grace of Our Lord (nam-perumAL), I had the
fortune of organising the renewal of the old
mA-munikaL mural painting high on the northern wall of
the second enclosure (rAja-mahEndran tiru-c-chuRRu) of
the Great Temple of Srirangam.   The mural depicts
mA-munikaL discoursing on Sri-bhAshyam (as he had
received it from Sri kiDAmbi nAyanAr in kAncheepuram)
to Sri kOyil kandADai aNNan (Sri varada-nArAyaNa Guru)
and Sri eRumbi appA (Sri dEvarAja Guru), both of them
counted among mAmunikaL's eight staunch devotees known
as the 'ashTa-dig-gajam'.

ATTACHED is the photo of the mural as renewed.

The mural-renewal project was commissioned with
funding by Sri Ramarajan (former maniam of
tiruveLLaRai sannidhi), and was completed on July 10
(marked by Sriranga-nAicchiAr tiru-p-pAvADai
mahA-nivEdanam).

It was given to aRaiyar Sri Sampat-Srirangachar svAmi
to instal in the azhakia-maNavALan maNDapam an
impressive Tanjavur-idiom picture of mA-munikaL's
bhagavad-vishayam discourse.  It was at the conclusion
of the year-long discourse rendered in the audience of
namperumAL that the 'Sri-SsailESa dayA-pAtram' taniyan
was revealed.  The new picture was in replacement of
the old, and smaller-size, one that was hung for long
years in poor advantage.

This aRaiyar svAmi seems to be animated by the memory
and spirit of the great kUra-nArAyaNa jeeyar in
rendering precious service to Our Lord in terms of
renovations of the Great Temple structures and
greening of the environs.  His restoration of the
vasanta- maNDapam and the gifting of the gopuram-like
pagoda in teak wood carving for Our Lord are
remarkable for artistic taste and devotion.  In this
respect, the aRaiyar svAmi is in the ranks of Sri
Krishna-premi svami, Sri tiru-k-kOTTiyUr Madhavan
svami and Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Svami.   Salute them
all !

This is a happy scenario of true service to Our Lord,
even like the tribute to mA-munikaL, as recorded in
the pUrva-dina-charyA ~

("kAlE kAlE vara-vara-muni:
kalpayan manGalAni"

~ Bless mA-muni who planned and executed every day a
contribution and benign service.)

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,
tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.
