Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 srImathE saTakOpAya namah srImathE rAmanujAya namah srImathE anantArya mahAguravE namah srImathE vara vara munayE namah dear bhAgavathAs, I would like to share with you all some information about the grand scale with which our AchAryA's thirunakshattiram is celebrated in various divya dEsams. In kAnchipuram, there is a 10 day festival, with thirumanjanam performed every day to svAmi maNavALa mAmuni, and about 400 pasurams of the nalayiram recited. There is a large pandal (shamiana?) erected in the sand just outside svAmi's sannadhi in the AzvAr prakAram of Lord varadarAjA's temple. Every evening, a small process happens in the pandal, this is called "paththi ulaaththal" in tamizh - svAmi maNavalA mAmuni is carried slowly, in small steps in patterns in the pandal with the accompaniment of nadasvaram music. On the 10th day, i.e. on his thirunakshattiram, Lord varadaraja comes to his sannadhi, gives His blessings and mariyAdhai to the AchArya. Then, the Lord stays there, a grand celebration takes place, with the final century of thiruvaymozhi, thiruvaymozhi noorrandhaadi and upadesa rattinamalai chanted. the festival concludes with the naalayiram sarrumurai and the vazhi thirunamam for svami. It is a grand sight with hundreds of people, and the celebration ending only around 2 AM. In thiruvallikkENi, it is probably an even grander festival. On all the 10 days, there is a procession of svAmi maNavALa mAmuni on the streets of thiruvallikkENi with the 3rd thousand of the naalayiram being recited. Everyday, in the afternoon, thirumanjanam is performed for our acharya, and about 100 pasurams each from the first thousand and the second thousand are recited. after that, svami is bedecked in regal splendour (after all, he is the acharya of perumal Himself, and no wonder perumAL wants to see His AchArya in full splendour) and the procession takes place. The procecssion starts with svAmi going in front of emperumAnAr sannadhi, where svAmi gets the blessings of udayavar in the form of a garland, and mudaliyANdan and thirupparivattam etc. Then, he visits parthasarathy perumal sannadhi, thAyAr sannadhi, varadarajar sannadhi and then azhagiyasingar sannadhi where he performs mangalasasanams and receives their anugrahas. Then, the procession continues on the streets of thiruvallikkENi accompanied by the recital of verses from iyarpa. This procession is a grand sight to be part of - Hundreds of srI vaishNavas in the gOshtis, hundreds more accompanying the acharya, with the playing of differnt musical instruments announcing the arrival of svami to the people. First, the goshti goes, then the archaka with the paduka of svAmi, then comes svAmi himeself, with full splendour and a great smile after having done mangalasasanams of perumal and ramanuja, under two grand umbrellas. After that follows the vEda gOshti. In the evening, thiruvaymozhi goshti takes place with 100 pasurams recited everyday. In years where one of the 10 days happens to be a ekadasi, or a puratttasi saturday, it is even grander. The procession on that day will be either parthasarathy or azhagiyasingar along with svami maNavALa mAmuni. Last saturday was one of those, where it was Ekadasi, purattasi saturday and the second day of the acharya utsavam. It was indeed a wonderful experience. In the thirunAngur area, on the day of the thirunakshattiram, svAmi maNavALa mAmuni visits 7 temples in the area and performs maNgaLasAsanams at each temple. When one is fortunate enough to take part in these festivals at various places for our acharya, we can see with our own eyes why our elders gave us the the "adiyaargaL vaazha aranga nagar vaazha" paasuram that we recite everyday.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Swamin, adyen thirumalai dasan Aneka Thendan smarpitha vigyabhanam. I would like to add the grand 10 day utsavam of Manavala Mamuni in Srirangam. This is celebrated in a grand manner with reciting of divya prabhandam on all the 10 days in the Manavala Mamuni Temple located near Ranganathar Temple. On the Thirunakshatram day Swami Receives Malai Mariyathai from "NamPerumal" Ranganathar. The ghosti is really very good and nice to hear and enjoy.
