Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Dear Bhagavatas: Here is an appeal from Sri Narasimhan Chakravarthy. It is presumed that he has taken into account the guidelines contained in "Sri Ranga Sri" Vol.3 / Issue 21 regarding appeals for fund raising. Dasoham Editor =================================================== srimathe ramanujaya nama: srimath vara vara munaye nama: yonithyamachutha padambuja yugma rugma vyamohatha stathirani trunaya mene asmath guror bagavathosya dhyaykasindho: ramanujasya charanao charanam prapathye. dear baghavathas, please read this appeal with patience. Every one in the srivaishnava religion knows about the importance of the padaravindham of emperumaan and aacharyas.it has been enlightened by many of our acharyas especially by swami vedhanthacharyar where swami wrote a unique kavi namely padhuka sahasram. Emperumaans padharavidham (thiruvadinilaigal) is called the "sataari"(srisadakopan) and swami nammaazwars padhuka is called "ramanujan"(except in azhwar thirunagari where it is called "madhurakavikal" in due respect given to the eleventh azhwar who had nammazhwar himself as his perumaal).Emperumanaars padhuka is called "mudaliyandaan" and the lineage continues till our swacharya. This letter is to collect money from the srivaishnavas residing in US to make a "swarna mudaliyaandaan" for swami udayavar in Triplicane sri Parthsarathi swamy kovil(which has the speciality of having five perumaals in one temple and utsavams almost thruough out the year).This holy task is taken up by the UDAYAVAR KAINKARYA SABHA a very old sabha in triplicane which is dedicated to swami udayavar in the temple and which has done a lot of kainkaryams and aabharanams for swami udayavar over the years by collecting donations from the aastiga mahajanathaar and srivaishnavas( anjali hastam,hasti kreetam,kalizahitha tridhandam,nithyapati tridhandam ,kal vaitha yagyopaveetham are to name a few ) Why Triplicane?lets see. According to pillailogham jeeyar swami who wrote the divya charithai on Ramanuja says "Ramanujas father and mother kesava aasuri and kanthimathi ammangaar came to riplicane and did puthrakamesti yaagam on the banks of the holy water kairavini(thiru alli keni) for a son to uphold their family virtues.Emperumaan Parthsarathy himself blessed the couple in thier dreams and said "it is not enough that i did geethopadesam but i need to write a bashyam for that so that whole world gets fructified by that.For that i myself will be born to you as swami" In that ideeham that perumaal (ggethacharyan)himself is born as swami emperumanaar In triplicane swami emperumanaar has the festivals on equal footing with the perumaal That includes ten day annual thirunakshatra (chitirai thiruvaadhirai)festival with thani purapaadu both mornings and evenings,special thirupaavai saathumurai,kanaadi arai sevai (usually it will be only for perumaal),vidayathu utsavam,mandakapadi in gangai kondaan mandapam,vahana saathupadi etc. for these festivals , maasa thirunakshatra utsavams and also on panguni utram when swami recited the gadhyatrayam. All these festives are for emperumaanaar only and for no other aazhwaar or acharyar in this temple.The mangalasaasana sevai every evening needs a thousand eyes to see with swami having a gold plated kutai,visiri samaram and kattiyams at various emperumaan sanidhi by the kattiyam karar.All these festival kainkaryams are done by the UDAYAVAR KAINKARYA SABHA in triplicane. Last year this sabha presented to the temple NaNMUTHU KONDAI for swami udayavar which is the latest of this sabha's kainkaryam. There was a long felt feeling in the sabha that our swami Udayavar should also have "swarna mudaliyaandaan" as like perumaal who has "swarna srisadagopam" himself.The sabha has made a theermanam stating that a swarna mudaliyandaan will be made by collecting donations from all asthiga janathaar srivaishnavaas and will be donated to the kovil with due respect .The total cost estimated for the swarna mudaliyandaan is 4 lakhs rupees. The foto of the Mudaliyaandaan which will be submitted will be sent to all the donors. I invite all Ramanusanadiyaargal to donate towards this kainkaryam and send your donations to "Sri udayavar Kainkarya sabha" new no:2 Arumugam lane, Triplicane, Chennai-600005 INDIA the cheques or DDs can be drawn in favor of "Sri udayavar Kainkarya sabha".Proper receipt will be mailed back as and when the dd/cheque reaches the sabha by the secretary of the sabha.I request the donors to clearly give the addresses so that the receipts can be mailed back with out trouble. I would like to request the moderator of this group to pass on this appeal to all the related groups so that everyone will be notified of this kainkaryam. sriman maha boothapure srimathkesava yajvana: kanthimadhyam prasoothaya ethirajayamangalam srimathe ramyajamatru muneendraya mahatmane sriranga vsineer booyaath nithya sri nithya mangalam adiyen ramanuja dasan, Ashtagothram Nallan Chakravarthy Narashiman.
