Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Sri Thirumalai AnanthAzhwAn Sri kulasEkarAzhwAr desired to be anything in the hills of thirumalai. In fact, he specifically mentions "thambagamAi niRkum thavam vudaiyEan AvEAnEa" Sri thirumalai ananthAn piLLai, a great disciple of sri rAmAnujA, who did pushpa kainkaryam in thirumalai and was affectionately termed as "AN piLLai" for his bravery and courage to go and settled down in thirumalai -It used to be full of wild animals, serpants and very difficult to live during those days. This AchAryA is said to be in the form of a tree where he attained salvation near the thirumalai temple. The 950th thirunakshathiram was celebrated last year. This year it was celebrated on 13th Sunday -for the convenience of one and all. Sevral srEvaishNavites for several dhivya-dhEsam-s including kAnchipuram, thiruvallikkEANi, vanamamalai , AzhwAr thirunagari, thirukkuRunkudi, srivilliputhur, srirangam, thirukkOTTiyUr etc. were all present. All thiru-vEnkatamudaiyAn pAsuram-s were rendered first from iyaRpA, mudhalAyiram and periya thiru-mozyhi. Thiru-voi-mozhi was then taken up and rendered fully. kaNNi nuN siruthAmbu ,irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi and upadEsa rethinamAlai highlighted the concluding part. The SathumuRai was completed in befitting manner. Sri peirya/chinna jEyar and kAnchi azhagia maNavALa jEyar participated in the funciton. The TTD offcials helped the function to become a great success. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
