The sampradhAyic way of performing Thirumanjanam for the divya dampathis here with the recitation of Thirumanjana Kattiyam has been preserved meticulously by the Azhagiyasnghars , Paramaparai dharma karthAs of this ancient temple . The sacred feet of many Azhagiya Singhars have adorned the Thiruveethis of ThiruveLLUr .Many were born here , Many carried this divya desa EmperumAn's name or have their BrindhAvanams here at ThiruveLLUr .It is no wonder therfore that the Vaidhika Sri is shining brightly today at this divya desam . As one reflects on these illustrious Acharya paramaparai with 45 simhaasanAdhipathis todate , we can not fail to be impressed by the fact that NINE out of the 45 chose the name of Sri VaNN SatakOpa VEERARAGHAVA YATHEENDHRA MAHAA DESIKAN out of reverence for the Archaa mUrthy of THIRUVELLUR DIVYA DESAM .The 32nd , 33rd , 34th , 35th and the 42nd AchAryAs have their BrindhAvanams at this divya desam , which I had the BhAgyam to visit this time . The first Azhagiya Singar to carry ThiruveLLUr EmperumAn's ThirunAmam was H.H. the 13th Jeeyar , who was crowned as the peetAdhipathi in September , 1632 . He served MaalOlan for 44 years and one month . His reign was exceeded only by Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar , who founded the Ahobila Matam and performed AarAdhanam for MaalOlan for 59 years and seven months .The 13th jeeyar was born at ThiruveLLUr and belonged to the Vangipuram vamsam that gave us additional illustrious AchAryAs later . The other Azhagiya Singhars who carried with reverence the name of the ThiruveLLUr EmperumAn and adorned the peetam of Ahobila Matam are : (2) Fifteenth Pattam (3) Seventeenth Pattam (4) Twentieth Pattam (5) Twenty Third pattam (6)Twenty Seventh pattam (7) Thirty Second pattam (8)Thirty Seventh Pattam and (9) Fourty Third pattam . Many other Azhagiya Singhars , who adorned the peetam of Ahobila Matam were born in or around the divya desam of ThiruveLLUr and as such had great reverence for Sri Veeraraghavan of VeekshAraNya KshEthram .For instance , the Sixth Azhagiya Singhar , H.H. Shashta ParAnkusa Yatheendhra Mahaa Desikan was born in Karalapaakkam , a famous agrahAram close to ThiruveLLUr . This is the great AchAryA , who settled new agrahaarams like Injimedu , ThayyAr , Purisai near ThiruveLLUr with Ubhaya VedAntha Simhams .These villages housed stalwarts of Sri Bahgavadh RaamAnuja SiddhAntham . Some of their descendants adorned the AchArya Peetam later . The Eleventh PeetAdhipathi was born at ThiruveLLUr and ascended the Acharya Peetam of Ahobila Matam during July 1559. He reigned for nearly 39 years and blessed his sishya paramparai . The twelfth pattam Azhagiya singhar belonged to the same ThiruveLLUr Vangipuram Vamsam and ruled for 34 years . The other Ahobila Matam Azhagiya Singhars , who were born in villages around ThiruveLLUr are : H.H.the 15 th Jeeyar ( YesanUr Tattai ) My grandfather belongs to the Tattai Vamsam and settled later at Poundarikapuram and moved on to Oppiliappan Koil afterwards . H.H. the 17th Jeeyar born at SohatthUr H.H. the 18th Jeeyar born at ThiruveLLUr (Veeravalli Vamsam ) H.H. the 20th Jeeyar at PiLLaippAkkam of Tattai Vamsam H.H. the 21st Jeeyar at ThyaaRu of Vangipuram Vamsam H.H. the 34th Jeeyar ( Atthipattu Azhagiya Singhar) H.H. the 37th Jeeyar ( PiLLaippAkkam Azhagiya Singhar) H.H. the 42nd Jeeyar ( Injimedu Azhagiya Singhar) Other villages that blessed us with other Azhagiya Singhars like ParanthUr , KaLatthUr , Parutthippattu also are not too far from ThiruveLLUr-Kanchipuram arc . It was a blessing to spend the EkAdasi-Friday ( Oct 16) of BhaudhAnya PurattAsi at the sacred feet of the Divya Dampathis of ThiruveLLUr , witness their Thirumanjanam and have their MahA prasadhams . It is a blessing for many of us to have taken part in the Mahaa SamprOkshaNam of the Divya Dampathis during July of this Year and contribute towards the growth of the principal for the Ubhaya Vedanthaa Trust set up by Sri K.G.K. Swamy to continue without interruption the Veda PaarAyaNam and divya Prabhamdham recitations during the two BrahmOthsavams at ThriuveLLUr .

ParajnAnam and Parama bhakti. The little about what I know of them is: The bhakti/love that draws the devotee to the Supreme is Para Bhakti. The knowledge / jnAnam or Vision that is granted due to the grace of Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan to the devotee is Para Jnanam The intensity to the highest degree beyond which one can not even survive and the greatest tvarai (urgency) to see the Lord and reach Him then and there, the inability to move away from seeing the Lord / enjoying Him or the jnAnam/Vision that Emperumaan had blessed Him with is Parama Bhakti. Sri RamanujAchAryA prays for them in SaraNAgathy Gadhyam. PiraaTTi says with affection: "asthuthE" (So be it).

Translation from SrImAn SaDagOpan's tamizh treatise: In the seventh pASuram, godai continues to praise the valorous deeds of kaNNan: He destroyed SiSupAlan, who had committed untold atrocities in his life. He felled the twin marudam trees that were in His way. He conquered the seven bullocks that stood in the way of marrying nappinai, and also baKASuran who came in the form of a crane to devour young kr*shNa. He destroyed the all-powerful kamsan in front of everyone. godai appeals to kUDal to give a good omen if it be true that kaNNan will be united with her. anRu innAdana sei SiSUpAlanum ninRa nIL marudum erudum puLLum venRi vEl viRal kanjanum vIzha mun konRavan varil kUDiDu kUDalE B. Some additional thoughts: anRu innAdana sei SiSUpAlanum: The reference here is that SiSupAlan did everything that was unpleasant to rukmiNi when her marriage was being contemplated. His acts, words, and deeds were so distasteful that they have been described as "pala nAzham Sollip pazhitta SiSupAlan", "kEtpAr Sevi SuDu kIzhmai vaSavugaLE vaiyum, SEtpAl pazham pagaivan SiSupAlan", etc. (SrI PBA's comments). ANDAL continues to describe the leelA-s of kr*shNa in the next two pASurams; however, in the current pASUram she names some of the worst enemies whom He had overcome. In the next PASurams, she describes some of His qualities of dayA to His devotees. sarvam SrIman nArAyaNAyEti samarpayAmi. adiyEn, Kalyani Krishnamachari --------------- END bhakti.v003.n144 --------------- Administrative requests (/, etc.) are handled automatically by sending mail to: + bhakti-request Send a message containing the word "help" (no quotes) to this address for more information.
