4. Past experiences, Anubhavams from this Kainkariyam (Tears of Joy)

===========Some Excerpts from previous years experiences ============

ThiruAdyayana Utsavam: Sri Venkateshwara Swami Temple, Chicago Dec,1998

=============================================================

"During the Adhyayana Utsavam, the Lord hears the Nalayera Divya Prabhandams of

Alwars in the company of His Consorts and all the Alwars and Acharyas.

During this festival no other festival or any other activity is conducted.

Thus the exclusiveness of this festival.

The celebration enhances the prestige of the Temple in as much as

the Temple is qualified for the noted Ehis (Jeeyars), and Acharya Purushas

will be inclined to partake ThirthaPrasadams.

 

The presence of Nammalwar and Bhagvad Ramanuja in the temple is testified

by the celebration of Adyayana Utsavam. The Special Kanthi or Brightness with

smile (punmuruval) after witnessing the Ghoshti and hearing the lucid

prabhandams was conspicously noticed in the face of the

Lord by most of the Rasikas who participated in the Utsavam.

 

Such a divine anubhavam is rare even in India, adiyEn was blessed to be

a part of this funcion and will cherish this anubhavam. "
