AN APPEAL FROM SRIMAD EMBAAR JEEYAR MUTT, SRIPERUMBUDUR

[Guest guest]

Thiruvengada Jeeyar thiruvadigale SaraNam

 

dear Bhagavatas,

 

Happy Sri Rama Navami.

 

Today I have received two pamphlets from Srimad embaar Jeeyar matam,

Sriperumbudur, one in Tamil and one in English and am commanded to circulate the

contents among the devotees of Sri Ramanuja.

 

The full text of the English pamphlet is as follows:

 

 

IN 1834, IN THE STAR ROHINI OF AVANI MONTH OF JAYA YEAR, a son was born to Sri

Raghavachariar and Janakiammal at Kapyamur near Thirukkovalur and was named as

Krishnamacharyar.

 

After upanayanam at the ag of 5, he was given the basic vedic education and he

mastered all the SAstras. He refused to get married as he wanted to devote his

life serving the disciples of Sri Ramanuja.

 

Sri Raghavacharyar Swami of Sholingar Sandamarudam Thodacharyar family came to

Kapyamur and our Krishnamacharyar got pancha samkAram from

Sri Raghavacharyar and became his disciple. Our Krishnamacharyar was presented

with a Balaji idol and the same is now in the mutt.

 

Later our Krishnamacharyar went to Thirumala and got sannyAsam from His Holiness

The Periya Jeeyar of

Thirumala and was named as Thiruvekata Satakopa Ramanuja EmbAr Jeeyar swAmI and

came to SrIperumbudUr

to serve SrI rAmAnuja.

 

With the help of Sri Nathamuni Seshadri Iyengar of Veeranarayanapuram

(kAttumannAr kOil), our embAr Jeeyar swami built the present embAr jeeyar mutt.

 

Embaar Jeeyar swami organised several remarkable devotional activities in the

temple of Sri Ramanuja and organised and streamlined the Gurupushya festival and

Chitthirai festival in the temple of Sri Ramanuja. Our embAr Jeeyar swAmi

attained the lotus feet of Sri ramanuja in the year 1883 at Sriperumbudur

itself.

 

Since the inception of embAr Jeeyar mutt, the successive Jeeyar swamis have been

performing Sri Vaishnava samArAdhanam or offering prasAdam (food) to Sri

Vaishnavas, especially the Divya prabandha chanters, during Chitthirai festival.

Till date, this has been done successfully done.

 

This year also, during the Chitthirai fstival, the tadIyArAdhanam of Sri

vaishnavas is being arranged as

usual in the mutt from 28.4.200 to 8.5.2000 and the devotees of Sri ramanuja and

philanthropists are requested to donate for the noble cause liberally.

 

MO, DD and cheques can be sent to His Holiness embAr jeeyar swAmi at the address

given below.

Tax exemption under 80G is available.

PS: I am aware that you are all busy with one or more kainkaryams. However, as

Chitthirai fetival is fast approaching, kinldy contribut something to the mutt,

no matter it is one rupee or more than one lakh dollars and obtain the blessings

of His Holiness.

As you may be knowing it better, many SriVaishnavas participate in this

festival.

 

Sriperumbudur is a place holier than Ayodhya, Mathura, Mithilapur and Vidarbha

(birthplace of rukmini piraatti). Also it is the only place reverberating with

the chanting of divine prabandham out of all these five places.

 

Hence I once again appeal to you all to knidly contribute something for this

noble cause.

 

Your humble servant

V.Srimahvishnu
