However, adiyEn knows that gopurams are to be worshipped. Gopura dharsanam is equivalent to dharsanam of the presiding deity of that divya dEsam. Gopurams are huge that stir up divine feeling for everyone. Gopurams are symbols for us. adiyEn is gonna talk about another symbol and gopuram here. There are three Srivaishnava divya dEsams out of the 108 divya dEsams in which thAyAr is pradhAnam. ie ThAyAr gets the ubacchArams, mariyAdhai, prayers, and all protocols first prior to perumAL. Those divya desams and thAyArs are: 1. nAcchiyAr kOil or thiru naRaiyoor Sri vanchuLa vallitthAyAr 2. thiru veLLaRai Sri Senbagavalli or Sri pangayacchelvi 3. Srivilliputthur Sri ANDAL In many ways the rAja gopurams of these 3 temples represent the authority of the three respective presiding deities namely the 3 thAyArs. In the olden days when a rAjA is promulgating an order he sends his rAja mutthirai or symbol that has the stature to make it a law with the bearer who takes around such order to all the towns in the kingdom. No one ever questions that. In the modern days, governments has a "seal" that has an emblem in it. Even each school and associations have their own emblems. However, it is the state government that passes the law using its own "emblem" and gives powers to all subordinate institutions. Without this emblem none of the bylaws of the state is established. Enough on emblems ! The "seal" in the tamil nadu state government there is an emblem. It is our rAja gopuram of Srivilliputthur !!! It is a proud emblem for every Srivaishnava to remember. It is a proud symbol when we know that when each and everything (good or bad) that takes place in this state that hosts 82 of 108 divya desams, all such actions have the blessings of Sri ANDAL !! Wouldn't it be better if we Sriviashnavas think that by blessings us all this way as well, Sri ANDAL rules ?!!!...
