SRimAns:

 

I seek your clarification on various traditions at home, temple or matam.

I understand that there are only two Srivainava traditions;Vedanta Desikar and

Sri. ManavaLa mAmunigal.

 

I also understand that when an acharya of (e.g) Periashramam visits a temple

which follow ThenAcharya sampradAyam, the mangalasashanam will be as per the

temple tradition only and not as per Desikar sampradAyam.

 

Lifco Nityanusanthanam gives two Kramam for Ahobila matam. 1. Sri sannidhi 2.

Matam.

Is Sri. Sannidhi sampradAyam followed at temples only? Is the matam sampradAyam

followed at Matams only? Which sampradAyam will be followed at home? What are

the

differences between two? Will SampradAyam at matam be also followed at temples?

 

I understand that Thiruvallur Veeraraghavan temple is Sri. Ahobila matam's

temple. Are Sarngapani (arAvamudan at Thirukudanthai) and Sri. Venkateswara

temple at

Perungulathur (next to Tambaram) also Sri. Ahobila matam's temples? If not, what

are the differences?

 

What is about the tradition followed at Tirupathi?

 

The samprokshanam for Sri. Venkateswara temple, Bridgewater, NJ was performed by

Sri. Sri. Sri. Tridandi SrimannArAyaNa RAmAnuja Chinnajeeyar in June 1998.

Today, during Sattumurai we follow the tradition of priest who performs puja to

the deity, followed by other sattumurai.

 

Can the learned members of (Sri. Varadan, Sri. Sadagopan, Sri. Anbil Ramaswamy,

Sri. Anand Karlapakkam, Sri. Maha vishnu or others) the group clear my confusion

over the

traditions in following nityanusanthanam, sattumurai at home, temple and matam?
