Ananthalwan's visit to Melkote

[Guest guest]

Srimad venkata Lakshmana yativaraya namah.

Om namO vEnkatESAya

 

dear bhagavatottamas,

 

namaskar.

 

Emulating the SEshI (Lord), SEsha incarnated in Kaliyuga as BhagavadrAmAnuja

muni, SrISailAnantArya and SrI varavaramuni similar to Lord's dwApara

incarnations as nArAyaNa, nara and KrushNa. out of these three incarnations,

ananthALwAn served vEnkatanAtha incessantly just like lakshmaNa served rAma.

 

ananthALwAn once goes to yAdavAdri to bless his disciples in that holy place. As

he has left his own place (thirumalai) and His swAmI, he finds this separation

painful and unbearable and thinks only of Lord VenkateSa. Due to the purity of

his heart, he finds his dear lord Venkateswara in the sanctum of Melkote temple

and exclaims out of surprise and joy

"Oh my Lord VenkatanAtha! When have you come here to

shower your grace on me?" All the people present in the sannidhi have the

sAkshAtkAram of SrI vEnkatESa

instead of ThirunAraNan. Even today, we see many features of

ThiruvEngadamudaiyAn's thirumEni in Sri Yadugiri nArAyaNa, due to the mahimai of

anantArya.
