Namaha Vanamamalai, otherwise
called nAnguneri is a beautiful divya desam in the southern district of Tamil
Nadu, Thirunelveli. Swamy
NammAzhvar adorns this divya desam as Sirivaramangala nagar. This wonderful divyadesam for centuries
is under the control of the esteemed Vanamamalai mutt. Probably adiyen should rewrite the above
statement as: The pontiffs of Vanamamalai mutt, being blessed with this unique
opportunity, with great honour and pleasure do selfless kainkaryam to
Sirivaramanga sametha deivanayaka perumal with atmost ecstasy. This is one such divya desam where the
thayar (piratti) has been granted special powers by emperuman himself. Srivaramangai nachiyar, originally
belongs to thirumala. Since
thiruvenkatamudaiyan is celebrated as alarmelmangai urai mArban he didn?t
cherish a separate nachiyar sannadhi.
Hence this nachiyar remained desolated. When the first pontiff of Vanamamalai
mutt, HH Sri Ponnadikkal Jeeyer swamy visited Thirumalai, thayar appeared in the
dream and instructed swamy to take her with him to
Vanamamalai. The same order was placed
to HH Sri Periya kelvi appan Jeeyer swamy also. Therefore, understanding the wish of
piratti HH Sri Periya kelvi appan swamy made all arrangements for the travel of
Piratti from thirumalai to vanamamalai and henceforth HH Sri Ponnadikkal swamy
attained the status of father to srivaramangai nachiyar. On reaching vanamamalai, swamy welcomed
thayar to the mutt and rushed to Deivanayaka perumal?s sannadhi to get the
permission for the wedding. With
the acceptance of perumal the grand wedding of the divine couples was grandly
celebrated in front of Onnana swamy (HH Sri Ponnadikkal swamy, father-in-law to
deivanayaka perumal). Our swamy
thus obtained the post of father-in-law to perumal similar to
janaka/periazhvar. Due to this grand
happening, Jeeyers from the vanamamalai mutt are given special honours at
thirumalai. So whenever a jeeyer
from this mutt visits thirumalai, HH Sri Periya Kelvi appan swamy welcomes the
Jeeyer and gives his own mutt for the Jeeyer of vanamamalai mutt to stay with
special esteem. Thereby till this
date there has never raised a necessity for a separate vanamamalai mutt in
thirumalai in contrast to other divya desams. But the conditions in
thirumalai are changing. The
atrocities of the government and TTD authorities in the recent past and the
present state of even the Periya Jeeyer mutt is well known to all
Srivaishnavas. So it is now time to
give our support and hence it has become necessary for a separate vanamamalai
mutt to strengthen our power in the activities at thirumalai. Being a very old mutt, it is absolutely
necessary for it to be present in the second renowned divya desam of the
Srivaishnavas. Due to the divine
grace of alarmel mangai urai mArban (thiruvenkatamudaiyan) the efforts of our
revered acharyan, HH Sri kaliyan ramanuja Jeeyer swamy has become fruitful. A land has been allocated by TTD
themselves for this purpose. The
estimate of construction of the mutt is about 80 lacs. Isn?t it our prime duty to take part in
this divine acharya kainkaryam?
This will make not only the acharya but all our poorvacharyas and
ofcourse the divine couples happy.
Adiyen request all bhagavatas to contribute liberally for this divine
cause. In the next posting, we
will enjoy a little about the two divya desas, THIRUMALAI AND
VANAMAMALAI. Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer
