Guest guest Posted January 16, 1997 Report Share Posted January 16, 1997 Dear Members of the Bhakthi Group : I welcome Sri Jaganathan's appeal to participate in the above Kaimkaryam at Srirangam . This sannidhi was built by Thirumangai AzhwAr and the 44 th Jeeyar chose it as the place of stay for Himself and the Aradhna Moorthy of Ahobila matam , whenever he was resident at Srirangam . He stayed in a humble house across the Sannidhi and Malolan stayed inside the sannidhi. It was a blessed sight to see the nonagenerian Jeeyar walk with the help of a stick and climb the steps of the sannidhi to perform the daily aradhanam for Sri Lakshmi Narasimhan . During the last stage of His life , which was distinguished by His extraordinary efforts to build the southern Gopuram for Sri Ranganatha , He stayed in this house opposite the sannidhi and fulfilled the Lord's command to erect the southern Raja Gopuram , which had stayed incomplete for centuries . South is the direction that Sri Ranganatha casts His glances to bless VibhishaNA and GodhA piratti of Srivilliputthur as commemorated by Swami Desikan in GodhA sthuthi.. My father had His Baranyasam at THIS Sannidhi at the lotus feet of His Holiness the 44th Jeeyari . Inview of this special nature of this sannidhi that is a natural home to Malolan saluted by Thirumangai Azhwaar and the unbroken chain of Jeeyars starting from the first Jeeyar of Ahobilam to the present simhAsanAdhipathi , I would like to pledge $ 42 for the distribution of PrasAdham to sevarthis after the daily arAdhanam there in memory of my father during the month of June , 97 . The Jeevan of my father was united by His AcharyA , the 44th Azhagiya Singar to Sriman NarayanA during the 6th day of June , 1987 . This amount of $ 42 pledged by me is approximately one twelfth of $ 500 suggested by Sri Jaganathan as the sum needed for the 12 month Kaimkaryam . Thanks , Sri Jaganathan for inviting us to participate in this Bhagavadh PrasAdham distribution at Srirangam . V.Sadagopan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
