HH Sri Kaliyan Vanamamalai ramanuja Jeeyer 1905-1933 (Twenty-fifth pattam)



Swamy's Kainkaryams



Sri Kaliyan ramanuja swamy completed all the final rites to his acharyan Sri 
Pattarbiran swamy according to the yethisamskara vidhi (procedures) in a very 
grand and cordial manner and also completed the thiruadyayanam in a similar 
manner. Further swamy started taking care of the responsibilities of nithya 
kainkaryam, pakshOtsava, mAsOtsavams of Sri deivanayaka perumal and 
Sirivaramangai nAchiyar combined with the nithya dhadheeyArAdhanam and ubhaya 
Vedanta grandha kalashEpams at the mutt.



After a year, wanting to establish "rAmAnujArya divyAgnA. varthathAm" in all 
the divya desas (vugandharulina nilangal) Swamy started his divya desa 
mangalasasana trip, on a fine vaikasi month.



First swamy visited koil, thirumalai, perumal koil and at all places rendered 
his divine sampradayic kalashepams in his own style in a very effective manner 
so that it reached even the common masses. Swamy then traveled till Sri (puri) 
jagannatham the travel lasting for about 3 years, celebrating it as a mahOtsava 
and returned back to srivaramangalanagar.



Then for sometime swamy stayed at the mutt rendering ubhaya Vedanta kalashepams 
to interested shisyas. During that time one fine day, Sirivaramangai thayar 
appeared in swamy's yogam and said, "Even in this vibhuthi there are divya 
desams adorned as 'vadadisai madurai sAlagrAmam vaikundam tuvarai ayodhdhi 
edamudaivadari' in the northern direction equivalent to Srivaikundam. Oh! 
Jeeyer this is the right time for you to visit those divya desams and also 
uplift the poor souls in those places." As per the orders of nachiyar, swamy 
immediately ordered his shisyas to prepare for the journey. 

"poomagal niyamaththai thAmadamindri tamargAl

kAvalan thannudhaviyOdum poovalan vandhARRiduvEn"



Immediately without any delay the shisyas coordinated with the government and 
made arrangements for smooth journey for swamy all through the way and to 
celebrate swamy's trip as a great happening.



First swamy along with number of shisyas visited thiruvanparisAram, 
thiruvattAru and then reached "tadamudaivayal nandhapuranagar" where swamy had 
the divine darshan of "padamudai aravil pallipayindra emperuman". Swamy with 
heartfelt pleasure did pooja to emperuman with flowers. The king of that region 
informed swamy about the moola thirunAl and thereby swamy stayed there for 3 
days. During that time the king visited swamy in person and was highly 
impressed with the divine qualities and scholarship of swamy. The king 
requested swamy to accept bhikshai from his paditanam which swamy gracefully 
accepted, which is carried on till date. Later swamy visited all the malainAdu 
dd's and proceeded to yedugiri to do mangalasasanams to thirunArAyanan and 
selvapillai. After accepting the respective honours over there, swamy started 
from there and proceeded towards kiskinda and MAlyavan Mountains. Iterating in 
mind the divine kalyana gunas of chakravarthi thirumagan swamy payed his atmost 
homage to each and every place where perumal would have stayed during the 
ramavatara. Then swamy reached bhakyApuram (hyderabad) enroute to panchavadi 
(nAsik).



After reaching panchavati swamy had the darshan of the godavari banks that once 
provided a pleasant happy atmosphere with shade and cool breeze for perumal and 
piratti to rejoice walking and playing with each other ("jalarAmaNyagam yatra 
sthala rAmaNyagam tathA"). Amidst the number of yogis in that place swamy, 
being a yogeendrar stayed there for some days ("sObhanam tandakAranyam"). 
During his stay in panchavati many devotees were deeply impressed with the 
godly nature of swamy and hence they requested swamy to visit mumbai and bless 
many with his divine kataksham. Swamy accepted the invitation as his duty and 
visited mumbai and stayed in a place called "kArkOpar". Fortunately that was 
time for chaturmAsa sankalpam and as per the wish of the devotees swamy 
accepted to undergo his sankalpam in that very place.
