Swamy's Kainkaryams
Swamy stayed in vanamamalai taking care of the nithyotsavams of Sri VaramangA
sametha deivanayakan and aranganagarappan. During the vaikAsi utsavam swamy
visited thirunagari to have his heartfelt darshan of magizh mAran, that which
has been missed during his divya desa visit. Swamy enjoyed the divine
darshan of Azhvar and Adhipiran in the temple that was like the pranavam with
dual importance. Swamy received all the respective honours including prathama
theertham from the first day till the tenth day of the utsavam and stayed there
for nearly two months and adorned all the ghostis of azhvar and Adipiran, and
showering bhagavat vishayam to one and all. Swamy did mangalasasanams many
times.
Then swamy returned back to vanamamalai and taught ubhaya Vedanta to all those
who were interested in the same and also did ubaya nAchimAr pradhistai. Each
year swamy celebrated the thirunakshatram of onnAna jeeyer (kanya punarvasu) by
calling many catussAstra scholars through the Sri rAmAnuja siddhAnta
sampradhAyAbhivarthinee sabha run from the day swamy adorned the peedam. In
this way swamy stayed in vanamamalai for ten years.
Meanwhile, swamy was invited to the golden dwajasthambha pradhista to Sri
navaneethakrishnan temple in veerakeralampudur part of oothumalai jameen. One
of the heads of the place the jameendhArini (queen) humbly requested swamy to
graciously preside over the occasion. Swamy along with all his disciples went
to the occasion conducted ghosti for five days and also presided over the grand
prathistApana mahotsavam. Swamy distributed the dhakshina given, to all the
Srivaishnavas over there with his own hands. Then that queen invited swamy to
her palace and welcomed swamy with great honours seated swamy on a beautiful
crown, prostrated swamy and requested swamy to consider this temple also like
vanamamalai sannadhi close to swamy's heart (abhimAniththaruludhal). She
submitted a bag of wealth to be used for the nithya aradhana of
aranganagarappan and with all honours sent swamy back to vanamamalai.
After some days, swamy not being able to ignore all the request from many
interested souls who met swamy in person and those who have sent invitation
after coming to know about the greatness of swamy, swamy wanted to uplift many
many more souls in remote villages and cities and hence with the permission of
Sri varamangai and aranganagarappan started his third vijaya yathra.
