Guest guest Posted September 17, 1998 Report Share Posted September 17, 1998 Dear Bhagavathas Mani, many thanks for explaining the meaning of Anna's thaniyan. What I have been told about PB background conforms to what Mani wrote. I am glad the venkatesa suprabhatam discussion has taken off. I wanted to do it but hesitated thinking that most people perhaps know it anyway. Thanks to Sriman Krishna Susarla and others for taking the initiative to discuss the meaning of suprabhatam and please do continue. I just want to add two points. A. The moolapurusha of PB family (hastigiri Annan) did have an opportunity to do kainkaryam at the Tirumalai temple. During that time, he came close to members of Ananthampillai vamsam, who have the privilege of bringing in sacred waters for the tirumanjanam of the Lord. A tribute to them is contained in the verse : 'ela lavanga ghana sara sugandhi theertham ...vaidika sikhamanayah...'. B. There is a Prathivadi Bhayankaram Anna trust based in Kanchipuram, and they arrange annual programmes (sometimes in the Anna sannidhi near the main gopuram of Varadaraja swamy temple in Kanchipuram). Also, there is a person of PB lineage (and son of well known singer PB Srinivas) now based in Hyderabad and he has been organising annual congregations and discussions. If it will be of interest to members, I will post some routine details of various rituals in the Tirumalai temple and which verses from the divya prabandham are recited in which occasion, etc. Adiyen, Srivaishnava dasan PB Anand ---------------------- @bradford.ac.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
