[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

Today is the Special EkAdasi , when Sriman Hari NaarAyaNan

is said to arise from His yOga NidhrA at KsheerAbdhi

to bless us all .

 

My recent Visit to ThiruveLLUr

*******************************

During the previous EkAdasi ( Friday , October 16) ,

I had the good fortune of being in the company of

a parama BhakthA of Sri Kanakavalli (Vasumathi)SamEtha

Sri VeerarAghavan at ThiruveLLUr (VeekshAraNya KshEthram).

This Param BhakthA is none other than

Sri K.G.KrishNan Swamy , the son-in-law of Abhinava

Desikan , UttamUr Swamy and the father of our

Sri Anand of Storrs, CT .

 

The extraordianry blessings at ThiruveLLUr

********************************************

This visit to ThiruveLLUr is a great experience

and I would like to share it with you . Further ,

many of you have supported the MahA SamprOkshaNa

Kaimkaryam of ThiruveLLUr divya desam . Hence You

might be interested in the enjoyment of the divya

desa EmperumAn and PirAtti as they enjoyed the newly

constructed aasthAnams after JeerNOtthAraNam

under the tight supervision of H.H. the 45th

Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam . I am glad to report

that Sri K.G.KrishNan's tireless efforts

to serve the Divya Dampathis of ThiruveLLUr

according to his Kula kramam has led to

the establishment of a base fund of 10 Lakhs

of Rupees including the two lakhs of Rupees

donated by the AasthikAs of this special forum .

Interest from this core fund would be used

to support Veda and Divya Prabhanda PaarAyaNams

at the two annual BrahmOthsavams at ThiruveLLUr

according to Sri K.G.KrishNan swamy .

 

The auspicious combination of Friday and EkAdasi

blessed us to enjoy the Thirumanjanam of both

Sri Kanakavalli and Sri VeerarAghavan . I had the

additional good fortune of doing the entire day's

AarAdhana Kaimkaryam for the divya dampathis

culminating in the sErthi PuRappAdu . Addiitonal

blessings for the day were the darsana soubhAgyam of

the sacred BrindhAvanams of FIVE Ahobila Matam Jeeyars

at ThiruveLLUr ( 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th and the 42nd

Jeeyars) along with the shrine for Adhi VaNN

SatakOpa Jeeyar . In the early part of this visit to

TamilnAdu , I had the good fortune of visiting

the BrundhAvanams of FOUR more Jeeyars (the 19th,

25th, 26th and 30th Jeeyars ) at PuLLambhUthamkudi-

Nrusimhapuram .Here at ThiruveLLUr , I had the

blessings of wearing for a few momnets the original

Divya PaadhukhAs of the 42nd Jeeyar ( InjimEdu Azhagiya-

Singar ) . This EkAdasi Friday is a blessed day

in my life . I will write about this great sukrutham

in my next postings . I kept repeating ,

" Adhya mE saphalam JanmA " .

 

I will try to cover the following Information

points in my postings .Some of them might be of

interest to include in the Home Page for Sri VeerarAghavan

set up with Bhakthi by Sri P.Dileepan . The souvenir that I

have brought with me for Sri Anand has beautiful

images of the Uthsavams at ThiruveLLUr .They would

again be of interest for enriching the home pages

of ThiruveLLUr divya desam .

 

The specific Information points for planned coverage

in my postings are :

 

(1)KshEthra Mahimai

(2)Murthy mahimai

(3)Theertha Mahimai

(4)Azhagiya Singar's kaimkaryams

(5)Thirumanjanak Kattiyam for Sri VeerarAghavan

and how it differs from the other well known

Thirumanjanak Kattiyam for Sri RanganathA

creatred by Parasara Bhattar

(6) Excerpts from Sri VeerarAghava SuprabhAtham ,

AshtOtthara Satha NaamAvaLI, Swami Desikan's

KimgruhEsa Sthuthi and UttamUr Swamy"s

Sri VeerarAghava MangaLam .

 

I guess that will keep me busy for a while.

It is amazing how many memory waves submerge

one with aanandham as aresult of the short seven day

visit to Divya desams at Oppilaippan Koil ,

AadhanUr, PuLLampUthamkudi , Sri VilliputthUr ,

ThirumAlirumchOlai , Srirangam , ThiruveLLaRai ,

ThiruvallikkENi , Sri perumpUthUr , Hasthigiri ,

UlahaLandha PerumAL koil , ThiruvehhA ,

PaaNdavar DhUthar Koil and Hasthigiri
