SrivilliputthUr Andal's sayana sevai and related Home page from Singapore

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs:

 

Singapore has proven to be a wonderful location for

devout BhakthAs known for their Kaimkarya Sri and

dedication to our sampradhAyam. The members of these

groups (Srimans Achyutharaman , MadhavakkaNNan,

Haresh Balasubramaniyan )have created rich home pages

dedicated to AchArya RaamAnujA , Swamy Desikan ,

PadhukA Sahasram , Sri KrishNa ParamAthmA and are

maintaining them with great care and affection .

 

To this group of dedicated bhakthAs has joined

another Bhakthaa now by the name of Sri A.Mahesh,

who is distinguishing himself through the creation

of a new home page for (singapore)Srinivasa PerumAL .

Another home page for Thiruppathi Srinivasan

is awaiting release on PurattAsi SravaNam day by

Sri Haresh Balasubramanyan .

 

I wish to invite your attention to the home pages

of Sri Mahesh and the many alankArams for PerumAL

including those for DasaAvathAram and for PerumAL

resting on ANDAL's left thigh in Sayana

ThirukkOlam . The Munn and Pinn Seavi of this

SayanOthsavam of ANDAL at Singapore is eye filling .

 

This sevai is well known in SrivilliputthUr

during the seventh(?) day of the AaadippUram uthsavam ,

where BhakthAs throng to enjoy this sEvai. Sri Mahesh

has included the original SayanOthcsava sEvai at

Sri VilliputthUr at KrishNan Koil along with

the one at Singapore SrinivAsa PerumAL Koil

in his beautiful home pages (http://Vishnuhomepage.com)

 

SayanOthsava, probably took place yesterday (?)

at SrivilliputthUr.Today is the Eindhu Garuda

Sevai day at Sri VilliputthUr .

 

Please enjoy the SayanOthsava sevai of the Dhivya

Dampathis at SrivilliputthUr and Srirangam courtesy,

Sri A.Mahesh of Singapore .

Sri:

 

Dear Sri SatakOpan mama,

 

Thanks for your posting this appreciation for Sri Mahesh's excellent web

page. One small supplement: The homepage is mainly on Sri Mahesh's "aatthu"

perumAL whom he is fondly adorning with such beautiful alankarams with such

involvement. He has also helping Bhattars at Sri Srinivasa PermAL Koil at

Singapore for many many years. He is only in his twenties and can be seen

doing his kaimkaryams on most of the saturdays at the temnple. (or at least

whenever I am there).

 

His aatthu pErumAL along with ubhaya naacchimaars looks Divine.

Thanks again.

Regards

Narayana Narayana

Dear BhakthAs :

 

As indicated by Sri MadhavakkaNNan ,

the perumAL displayd in the home pages

The perumAL and ANDAL displayed in the

sayana alankAram is the Aaatthu perumAL

( AarAdhana Moorthy ) of Sri Mahesh at home

and not the Srinivasa PerumAL of Serangoon Temple

as I had indicated earlier.

 

I wish to share with you a little more information

about Sri Mahesh's deep attachment to

Srinivasa PerumAL and hope he does not mind

my sharing of this information .

 

I understand from the age 5 , Sri Mahesh has been

assisting the Bhattars at the Serangoon Road Temple

alankArams . He received at age 18 from his

parents as a present , the Vigraham of Lord Vishnu

with Sankha -Chakram , Mace ( Gathai)and abhaya hastham .

Although the lakshaNam of this Vigraham with Ubhaya-

NaachimArs would be that of either Sri VaradarAjan

or Ranganathan,Sri Mahesh has affectionately named

this archA vigraham as "SrinivAsan" and has been offering

worship to that Lord at his home for the past few

years .He sis till in his twenties.

 

I understand it took 6 hours to complete

this SayanOthsava alankAram for "SrinivAsan" at his home.

Since Aug 3 (SayanOthavam day at Sri VilliputthUr)

is a working day for him , he completed the alankAram on

a Sunday ( einthu Garuda sevai day ) and released his

home page same day containing that alankAram and sent it

to us .

 

BTW ,the correct address for Sri Mahesh's

URL is---> http://Vishnu.homepage.com ( I had missed

the dot between Vishnu and homepage in my previous note.

Please have the wonderful sevai of Sayana ThirukkOlam

of perumAL .

 

The reason why I am writing about this wonderful

happening is that you might have young children at

home. Once you create a ruchi (taste)for them to get

involved with Bhagavath Kaimkaryam , it will

last forever . You might recall the story of

MeerAbhAi , who received a vigraham of Giridhar

Gopal and from then on He took care of every thing.

 

ANDAL's anubhavam is the same according to PeriyavAcchAn

PiLLai in 3000 Padi avathArikai although She is

the amsam of BhUmi Devi, one of the consorts of the Lord .

 

PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai says :

 

" She(ANDAL) considered Sri VilliputthUr as ThiruvAipAdi ,

the girls there as Gopis, Herself as one of them ,

VaDapathrasAyee's temple as the ThirumALikai of

NandagOpan and the resident inside as Sri KrishNan

and by that BhavanA prakarsham ( pull of that feeling

state) ripened in bhaagavath anubhavam which resulted

in " Idai nadayum , idai mudiyum , idaippEcchum mudai

naaRRamAi vittathu". This resulted in the total

identification with the role( behavior, dressing

and speech ) to yield the ThiruppAvai and NaacchiyAr

Thirumozhi.

 

MeerA bhai pleaded for her union with GiridhAri:

 

"aavO manamOhanaa jee meeDA BhArO bhOl"

 

MeerA followed the footsteps of ANDAL and sent

several messages to KrishNA through her moving

PadhAvaLis.She took pen in hand to write to Him

and her hand trembled .She tells the bird watching her:

" You are witnessing my physical and mental pain .You

convey to my lover my helplessness , my pangs of

heart and my uncontrollable emotions ( pathiyAm

maim kaisE likhUm likhyOrI na jaaya , kalam dharatha

MErO kara kaampatha hai naina rahai jaD jAya--).MeerA

identified KrishNa in every object of nature. She

invited Him to have a taste of 56 varieties of Food

and side dishes as Raaja BhOga naivEdyam (PadaavaLi:

Pada 47). She followed the route shown by ANDAL,

who offered Butter and AkkAra Vadaisil to

the Lord of ThirumAlirumchOlai. I am not suggesting here

that MeerAbhAi knew of the Prabhandhams of ANDAL,

but a Bhakthai's approach to Her Lord has similarities

in praying for "SampUrNa Saannidhyam " of their Naayakan.

 

Saint ThyahgarAjaa's anubhavam with Sri Raamachandran

is the same.He had inherited Yeka Peeta Sri Raaman

with His consort and parivAram from his fahter ,

Sri Raama Brahmam. When one has the darsanam

of that AarAdhana Moorthy today at TanjAvoor Varahappiyer

Lane , One notices the smallness of the size of these

vigrahams . You can almost place them in

the palms of your hand . Sadhguru Swamy was

talking thru his krithis to that Sri Raman and

Jaanaki MaathA Vigrahams like they(Raaman

and SeethA) were humans standing before him

as AajAnu Baahu with His divine consort.

This is BhavAnA Prakarsham is all about .

That Bhava PrakarshaNam ripened and led

to Saint ThyagarAjA having the rare blessing of

Raama darsanam twice , once with LakshmaNan

as Yaaga SamrakshaNa moorthy and another time

with SeethA pirAtti and AnjanEyar , when Raamachandran

sat at the Thirumanjana Veethi house of His bhakthan

and AnjanEyar cooked the evening meals and served

them all .

 

In summing up, blessed are those , who can

have that type of feeling state due to Poorva-

Janma Sukrutham and relate to the Lord with

endearing service .
