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 Nammazhvar,Bhagvad Ramanuja and Vedanta Desikan

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. "
