VANAMAMALAI SWAMI?S DINACHARYA (DAILY ROUTINE)-1

1. Swamy got up early in the morning with the recitation of the vakhya 
guruparamparai starting with ?asmath gurubhyO namaha? and surrendered to the 
divine feet of all the acharyas. Swamy then meditated on the divine meanings of 
the rahasya trayams (which gave a clear knowledge about the atmasvaroopam, 
yAdhathmya Jnanam) followed by the archirAdhi gathi starting with ?sathsangAth? 
and finally the parasvaroopam. Following this swamy meditated on the vyuha 
moorthis, vasudeva-sankarshana-pradhyumna and aniruddha and fell under the 
divine feet of the bhagavan. Following this his thoughts flowed towards the 
vibhava and antaryAmi roopams followed by the archA roopam. Finally swamy 
meditated on the Acharya svaroopam.

2. Then reciting starting with ?sristanabharanatheja:? swamy did his snanam 
(bath) in the vushat kAlam meditating on his acharya, wore his thirumankAppu 
and with the same thought then went to the sannadhi of aranganagarappan, did 
the appropriate pooja (thiruvArAdhanam), prostrated the emperuman and offered 
food to perumal and then accepted perumAl?s sreepAdha theertham (holy water 
obtained as a prasadam after washing the divine feet of perumal). After that 
swamy sat in front of the sannadhi and blessed all the interested souls with 
pancha samskAram and showered his grace on all of them.

3. After this, swamy as per periya Jeeyer?s anushtanam, started with number of 
shisyas towards deivanAyakan sannadhi. Starting with ?Devi Godha? swamy did 
mangalAsAsanam to all sannadhi?s including that of Sri Manavala mamunigal, 
emperumAnAr and other azhvars and then proceeded inside andhad divine darshan 
of srivaramangai and deivanAyakan. Swamy then did mangalAsAsanam to vanamamalai 
perumal, who is considered as the first among theEkadasa moorthis. 

4. After this swamy returned back to the mutt and took the seat of his acharya 
(considering himself to be the divine feet of his acharya, mamunigal) delivered 
excellent kalashepams (?vyAkhyAyasya vidhaktha soori parishath chiththApahara 
kshamA?). Swamy had a great talent in expressing the bhagavat vishayam along 
with the saptharasam (intricacies of sound), Artha rasam (indepth meaning) and 
bhAva rasam (sentiments and emotions) in a manner that even ignorant and the 
uneducated people can easily understand and enjoy. Swamy?s talent was so great 
that even the birds which lived near the mutt used to talk among themselves as 
follows: ?Sriman Narayana is the paratvam, as per all Vedas and sastras; Brahma 
and all other devas are seshas(under the control) of Sriman narayana?

Let us leave swamy to do kalashepam with all his excellency now and continue 
his daily routine in the next posting.
