Observations on the mail of today :

 

1.Sri Eliyavalli"s point about Pancha Gramams.

The fourth one I think is Peruga VaZhundaan .

It is on the banks of Paamini or Korai River.

It was a well known agraharam , where great

Vedic Scholars came from and were Paricipating actively in

Sri Rajagopalan"s Utsavam thru their Veda Paaraayana Kainkaryam.

My grand father on my mother's side hails from there.

The descendants of Karpangadu Swami are residing in T,Nagar. The

grand son is a Doctor and his daughter is a disciple of my sister in Carnatic

Music dealing with Swami Desikan's works & Azhwar Pasurams..

 

2.Kanaka"s request for information on way to worship Hanuman or Siriya

Thiruvadi:

Hanuman Chalisa is a good stotram to recite. However, Hanuman

loves to hear the Rama Nama Katha. Our tradition views him as

sitting with folded hands and tear choked eyes, wherever Rama

Katha is recited. Hence, If I may suggest, a special reading of Sundara

Khandam during the Sri Rama Navami time would be good approach..

It is usually done in the navaaham style ,when the whole

Khandam is read over 9 days.This Year Sri Rama Navami falls on March28,

a week after Sri Ranganatha"s constellation, which is Revathi. Periya

Perumal has a diffeerent star compared to

Sri Oppilappan, Annan Koil Perumal and Venkatachalapathi.Their

nakshatram is Sravanam. One can start on Periya Perumal"s

sacred day and complete the Sundara Khandam recitation in a sapthaaham

fashion and offer a Santhana Kappu or Vada Maalai for the Hanuman Icon.

 

3. The 4,000 classification posted by Sri S.Rengi is a very good

one. I am glad to learn about it . That classification covers as he

pointed out all the three Rahasyaas.

 

4. I know very well Mrs.Y.G.P "s project on Divya Desa Samrakshanam.

She breifed me on this project few years ago.The credentials

of this Group are unimpeachable. We however should focus on

the First projeect of ours(108 DD CD ROM ) as Sri Srinivasan says and

then assess otheropportunities of interest to all of us

one by one such as the dedicated

efforts of Mrs. YGP. She is some administrator . She has taken many

initatives and concluded them successfully n her professional field.

The Commissioner of the Hindu Temple Endowment Board of

the Government of Tamilnadu is not doing a good Job in

addressing the needs of many Vaishnavite and Saivite Paadal Sthalangal.

We can join in this "fight " and lend support to Mrs.YGP & her Sabha

as a part of our enlightened self interest in these ancient temples.

I am delighted to hear that the Pudu Periyavaal of Kanchi Mutt

donated 10K Rs to the Vaishnava Divya Desa Samrakshana Sabha.

Kanchi matam has always had an enlightened view. You might recall that

Sri Jayendra Saraswati of Kanchi Petam contributed a tidy sum to the

construction of one of the tiers of Periya Perumal Southern Gopuram

construction project of the 44th Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt. The picture of the

three Yatis,

Ahobila Matam Jeeyar, Srirangam Aandavan and Kanchi Peetathipathi appeared

in Nrusimha Priya in a special issue.
