Oppiliappan : The Matchless Veda NaarAyaNan: part 1

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

With the SaraNya Dampathi's blessings , I plan to leave for

a very short trip to India on October 7 to particpate in

two of the AbharaNa SamarpaNam celebrations organized by

the GodhA priyA Committee of Chennai .Many of you have taken

part in supporting their Kaimkaryams to present the MaaNickka-

Kondai , Maragatha KiLi , Gem-wstudded Jata Kothsu and the Mutthangis

for the Uthsavars , Ponnappan and Sri BhUmi Devi ThAyAr .

Thanks most sincerely for all of the assthikAs , who have

generously supported this Kaimkaryam .Finally , it is happening !

Please let your relatives in India to join in receiving

the divya dampathi's blessings on this auspicious occasion

scheduled for October 11 .

 

In addition to these kaimkaryams at Oppiliappan Koil ,

the GodhA priyA committee is presenting a special

dress for Sri ANDAL 's RaaNi Sevai . A regal embroidered

PaavAdai , upper garment with semi-precious stones woven

into the dress , a Gem-studded ottiyANam , Jatakothsu , ear rings

and the crown of a queen inlaid with pearls and semi-precious

stones , two dhiNdus , a green parrot stitched in green

velvet , two blue sandals are part of the RaaNI sEvai .

This is similar to the RaaNi sevai dress that RaaNi

MangammaL of Pandya Kingdom presented once to Sri Andal

at Sri VillipputthUr divya desam .

 

My plans with the divya dampathi's blessings are to

go striaght to SrivillipputthUr after the flight from

New York on October 9 and reach Sri VilliputthUr on

PurattAsi SravaNam day ( October 10) and get

Sri RangamannAr SamEtha Sri ANDAL's blessings .

 

After presenting the special AbharaNam for Sri ANDAL ,

I will rush to Oppiliappan Sanndhi the same evening

to have the darsana soubhAgyam of SravaNa VenkatEsan

on this last SravaNam day of PurattAsi , stay overnight there

and particpate in the Swami Desikan 's uthsavamm conclusion

on Sep 12 . On Sunday ,October 11 , we plan to have

a major thirumanjanam for the Moolavar and

Uthsavar and bring the uthsavars by hand carriage

( KaitthaLam ) to the Kodi mantapam and present the

Mutthangi and MaaNickka Kondai there and release

the special souvenir for the occasion .Next day ,

Veedhi PurappAdu with the Uthsavar wearing His RathnAngi

is being planned. I will try to have a video covering

all these functions .

 

In the remaining two days in India , I plan to offer my

praNAmams to Lord VaradarAjA , Lord ParthasArathy

and if time permits rush to Thirumalai and back

to return here on October 15 .It is a very short trip

and the bodily fatigue will be amply compensated by

the SevA BhAgyam of our Kula Dhanams .

 

A souvenir will be released at Oppilaippan Koil

with the contributions of great Sri VaishNavite Scholars

( Dr.V.N.Vedanatha Desikan , Sri SevA Swami ,

Sri KaruNAkaran Swamy , Sri Sundara Baahu ,

Sriman Anbil Swamy , Sri PattaNNA swamy , Sri PaiyampAdi Swamy ,

Sri Sampath Rengarajan ). I have been asked to join this

illustrious group to present an article . I am honored

to join in this parama bhAgavatha GhOshti .

 

In my next two posts , I will translate this Tamil article of

mine for this souvenir offering my salutation to the presiding

deity of ThiruviNNagar Divya Desam , where I was blessed to

be born under their Thiruvadi Nizhal .

 

Seeking your best wishes on this auspicious occasion

and thanking all of you , who have supported the many

Kaimkaryams so far ,

 

Daasan , V.Sadagopan

Sri:

 

Dearest Sri Sadagopan,

 

It is a great news about the kaimkaryam getting its grand finale now. Your

tireless contributions to all these lowly selves in terms of continuous

excellent posts on our rich sampradayam. Your persistent efforts to enrich

us are now yielding this mahOthsavam darshan and your representing us- the

most appropriate representation- we can not ask for anyone better suited to

this occasion that you.

 

We are very happy, SadagOpan, that you are planning to first get

aseervaathams and blessing from (y) our dearset GodhA and Sri Rangamannar

before proceeding to thanoppArilappan. We are greatly delighted that our

dear Sri Anbil sawmi's article is also there in the souvenir and we feel

proud that we have two of our dearest members from Bhakti group, in that

erudite Srivaishnavas who contribute to the souvenir.

 

Blessed are we with elderly members like you; Lucky Oppiliappan is to get

you there at the right time.

 

Do try to drop in or give us a call from Airport; We wii be happy to see

you at Singapore Airport. We will be honoured if you can visit our kutil.

(Please vist us on the way back to states so that we can snatch from you

some of puNyam that you can take alongwith you to the states).

 

On behalf of all members of the group, adiyEn, being the smallest member

(in terms of jnAnam and age), wishes you a great pleasant trip of a

different kind altogether.

 

Narayana narayana

 

Regards

 

Narayana dAsan Madhavakkannan
