Dear Srivaishnavas,

This is part-4 of this picture series.

Adi piran sannidhi
The devasthanam, is known as Azhwar adinathar
devasthanam, where the jivathma and paramathma is
given the same status like in the Sacred ?Om?
The fameous ?onnum thevum ulakumuyirum? (4.10.1, TVM)
glorifies AdinAthan, in the nintra thirukkOlam.
Photography was not permitted inside the temple (so
kindly excuse me adiyen donot have a picture of
azhwar) There are 4 uthsavams margazhi, Ani, mAsi, and
vaikasi. Two each goes to Azhwar and perumAL.
Perumal moolavar is AdinAthan and uthsavar is polinthu
nintra pirAn. Thayar : Kurugoorvalli, Adinathavalli .
There is a sannidhi for pantriAzhwan (njnAnapirAn).
Which Azwar mentions in the thiruvirutham and in the
end of the last ten on thiruvaymozhi (meenavarai
irandu pirakovvi nimarnthathoppa kOlavarAhammonnAy..).
Thiruppuli Azhwar (the sacred tamarind tree) was full
of puliyankai, but adiyen was told the tamarind fruits
never get ripened. They just fall down, while they are
tender, and the fruits, have only its outer skin.
Adiyen had a wonderful sevai of nammAzhwar, for a very
long time, since the temple was not at all crowded.
Both moolavar and uthsavar has beauty beyond adiyens
explanations. Moolavar adorns karimaran kondai, a
special crown.  The sannidhi archakar was kind enough
to give Ney DoSai prasadam, a flower garland adorned
by azhwar and sandal wood paste with azhwars abhaya
hastham imprint, thirtham and SrIrAmAnujam. Every
where Azhwars thiruvadi is called madhurakavi, except
in azhwar thirunagari, emperumanar resides on the
SaTari, and is reverently addressed as SrIrAmAnujam
(akin to poomannu mathu porunthiya mArban,
puhazhmalintha pAmannu mArAn ADipaninthuynthavan?).
All other azhwars are present inside the azhwar shrine
itself. After explaining the history, the temple
priest paused a quiz for adiyen, ?having had sevai of
Azhwar-adinathan sannidhi, can you tell which
AchArya?s divyamangala vigraham alone is present
inside the azhwar shrine??. Adiyens answer was
immediate, SrIman nAthamunikaL. Yes adiyen was right.
Only nAthamunikal donot have a separate sannidhi, he
resides with Azhwar always. Azhwar thirunagari has all
other AchAryas, in individual sannidhis (as you have
seen in the previous postings the pictures from few
sannidhis), maintained as separate temples outside
adinathar devasthanam, except nAthamunikaL. As mAsi
uthsavam was going on the two days adiyen stayed
there, evenings were a feast for eyes with polinthu
nintra pirAn riding on hanumantha vahanam and SEsha
vahanam (paran thiramantri pallulakIr daivam
mattrillai pESuminE 4.10.3 TVM). Adiyen humbly
requests for those who visit azhwar thirunagari to
stay there at least a day. Every village person, you
will meet, is a scholar, and will have a piece of
valuable information for you. They never count you as
a stranger, they talk to you as they know you since
long. AdiyEn literally experienced ?bOdhayanthaH
parasparam?.
