SwAmi PiLLai LokAchAryA's
800th ThriunakshAthiram at KAnchi
It was a grand and great event at
KAnchipuram. It was morning 8.30 Am and with great splendour and pomp Sri
Poizhgai Azhwar with Sri PiLLai LOkAchAryAr to his right and Sri MaNavALa
mAmunigaL to his left entered the VishNu kAnchi. The SrEvaishNavites in and
around the town and those who thronged to participate caught this fervour, no
sooner they entered this divine dhEsam.
Then followed Sri yAthOthakAri perumAL
alongwith Sri VEaLukkai AL-ari azhasingar.
The three thOlukkiniyAn were typical in
the sense that the kAnchi kuDai shone out separately in an outstanding
fashion.
The striking similarity between
YathOthakAri perumAL and thEApperumAL is also a point to
note.
The ghOshti at the commencement spread to
a long long line with four rows. Indeed great and the camera required three
series shots to complete this large divine gathreing of devotees and when the
soun of 'pallANdu pallANdu' rent the air, aruLichEyal indeed come to stay for
ever.
YathothakAri being the avathAra sthalam of
Poizhgai AzhwAr and This being PiLLai LokAcharyAr Thriunakshathiram celebrations
they took part in the procession. One may question, how come Peirya jEyar
participated? Those devout srEvaishNavites to our AchAryAs will definitely
say 'How can one miss the AchAryan?" Perhpas true.
The fact however remains that it was Sri
MaNavALa mAmunigaL who made the works of Sri PiLLai lOkAchAryar known and clear
to one and all by his wondeful vyAkyAnam-s.
That is why we say '.sEr vulagAriyar
seidharuL naR kalai thEASu polindhidu nAL'
The ghOsthi after rendering 'mudhal
thriuvandhadhi continued with 'upadhEsa RathinamAlai' and after compeltion of 4
vEdhi-s around pEAr aruLALan sannidhi, culminated at The fron to Sri PrathivAthi
bhayankaram aNNA sannidhi where these two EmperumAn-s blessed PoizhgaiAr, PiLLai
lOkAchAryar and Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL after the mangaLA sAsanam in the
ThriunAngUr style. Yes, the pAsuram 'aippasi vONam' and 'mAthuLLa AzhwArgaL'
piereced the air with great aura.
This was followed by the six pAsuram-s
dedicated to Sri PiLLai LOkAchAryAr by Sri MaNavALa MAmunikAL in the upadhESa
RathinamAlai.
By the time it was around 11.30 Am and
when the grand sAthumuRai in the unique kAnchipuram style - commencing with high
pitch, continuing with it and escalating further more - culminated in a grand
fashion. After Thertha prasAdham- ThadhEyArAdhanai was also performed in a good
manner.
It was a photo free day. AdiyEan ,
VaradharAjan and jillA VenkatEsh had a filed day. This would perhaps comprise an
album of at least 60 to70. This can be a part of the website, I feel, Sri
Pathangi.
This should also be a good collection for
Pbase, I think Mukund.
