Bhramhanubhavam - Sri Venkateswara Bhramotsavam

[Guest guest]

My pranams to all Sri Vaishnavas

 

By the graces of Sri Venkateswara & Sri Alamelu Mangai, Adiyen had

the "bhagyam" of visiting Sri Venkateswara Temple, Pittsburg during

the annual Bhramotsavam. Adiyen felt that, it would be worthy to

share Emperuman's graces with all other Bhagavathas.

 

AFter all work pressure, we made it up to the temple at 8.00PM.

(Adiyen's work place is at Pittsburg Downtown). The greatness of Sri

Alamelu Mangapathy is that, his vatsalyam & Singaram makes us get

stunned & it just suspends all out thoughts for the whole of the

time, we have his divine vision. That's what Udayavar calls

as "Bhagavatha Anubhavam". By the time we reached, they had almost

completed the "Pradkshnam" or purappadu in the inner praharam. Two of

the bhattars were reciting Thiru Vai Mozhi. There were 8 kainkarya

paras, carrying the divine chapram. Sri Emperuman was decorated with

different gold jewels & a thick yagnopaveetham & a garland of

different flowers. The sound of ThiruVai Mozhi was thundering & also

one of the Bhattars was chanting Yajur Veda. One of the junior

bhattars was carrying the Satari Suri & walking in the front. There

were women & ment, walking in the front, who were wnjoying the divine

anubhavam of Sri Nathan. Bhagavan, was standing with all

divyalankarams & showing his feet as the only rescue to all the help-

less souls in the samsaram. Bhagavan was overwhelming with joy &

karunyam. It made adiyen feel that, it was as if Sri Vaikuntam.

 

After the Purappadu was over, The Archa Murthy was taken inside & Sri

Bhagavan gave darshanam to Sri Padmavathi first & then to Goda

Piratti. Then, astotharam was performed with Tulasi & then the

Bhattars chanted ThiruVaiMozi (Nammazhvar) on Thirumal

Iruncholai.AFter that, there was Thiru Pallandu & Mangalasasanam .

There is a cute archa vatharam of Sri Emperumanar with the Thri-

danadam, sitting at that feet of Emperman. Satari is first offered to

Sri Bagavad Ramanuja. A "tiny" murthy of Udayavar on the feet of Sri

Emperuman, reminds us of , Nammazhavr's pasuram on Sri Adisesha, who

would be the Paduka for Bagavan in his standing posture.

 

Adiyen had to leave home, but Emperuman's Vatsalyam & Krupa did'nt

let me move from the palce. FInally, when people started singing

songs, I moved out for (pancha) pradkshnam & namaskram at the feet of

Dwaja Stamba.

 

After adiyen left my native palce (Singanallur Agraharam), adiyen got

to see Emperuman's Utsavam in Pittsburg. In Vedapuri(Singanallur),

Sri ThriVikrama Narayana wamy temple Bhramotsavam would take place in

a very grand manner with Veda Parayanam.... for Vamana Jayanthi.

 

Emperuman always blesses us with his divine graces.
