Now regarding- Dasavatara Sannidhi - A Divya Desam ?

 

Sri Jagan has voted for the Dasavatara Sannidhi as the most favorite Divya

Desam.

 

A Divya Desam is one sanctified by the mangalaasaasanam by one or more of the

12 Alwars. Thus, this Sannidhi does not qualify to be a Divya Desam.

 

It is not even an acknowledged "Abhimana Kshetram" like Namakkal,

Thanthonrimalai,Vaduvur, Sriperumpudur, Tirumazhisai, Singaperumal koil,

Madurantakam, Tirumandankudi or even Udipi or Guruvayoor.

 

Nor is it an acknowledged "Purana Sthalam" like Rajamannargudi, Tiru narayana

puram,Srimushnam, Srikoormam or even Nathdwara or Pandaripuram.

 

It is not even a temple like our upcoming Sri Ranganatha Temple at Pomona or

Venkateswara temple at Pittsburgh.

 

It is only a "Sannidhi" as the name shows; It can at best be an "Abhimana

Sannidhi" in the sense that by virtue of its being the headquarters of

Azhagiyasinghars, many Sishyas get their Samasrayanam and / or Bharanyasam

there.

 

But then, this does not make it any special because Sishyas get them done at

the other Sannidhis also like Poundarikapuram Ashramam, Periyashramam,

Parakala Matam (which in fact, is a temple in its own right). and the Ashtanga

Yoga Vigyana Mandiram of Sri Rangapriya Yathi.

 

The only sense, if at all, all Sannidhis in Srirangam can be considered

"Divya Desams" is because they are all within the precincts of and form part

of the "Bhooloka Vaikuntam".

 

If this Sannidhi alone is to be deemed a " Divya Desam " based on the criteria

cited in Jagan's post, anyone of the myriad Sannidhis dotting the entire

landscape of not only Bharata Varsha but also the entire oriental and

occidental Worlds (where ever newer Sannidhis are springing up, as a testimony

to the vibrant resurgence of Hinduism in general and Vaishnavam in particular

) deserve to be called "Divya Desam".
