Srirangam panel of mAmunikaL's SribhAshyam kAlakshEpam.

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Pattangi,

 

Thanks to your tip, I have succeeded in uploading [to

ramanuja] the

photo of the Srirangam panel of mAmunikaL's

SribhAshyam kAlakshEpam.

 

The value of this painting consists in the fact that

it was originally mounted by Sri kandADai nAyan, son

of the renowned (vAdhUla-dESika) kOyil kandADai aNNan

(Sri varada nArAyaNa Guru), at the very spot where

mAmunikaL had imparted SribhAshyam to kOyil kandADai

aNNan and eRumbi appA. This information is available

in the richly informative publication, kOyil kandADai

aNNan tiru-mALikai prabhAvam, which is available with

the tirumALikai. This panel was periodically got

renewed, last on July 10 2004.

 

The photograph was taken by my elder brother,

tirumanjanam Kannan.

 

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,

tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.

[ramanuja] mA-munikaL pictures.

 

It was like receiving a benediction to see the

excellent photos of the tiruvallikkENi mA-munikaL

utsavam (as carried in the internet).

 

By the grace of Our Lord (nam-perumAL), I had the

fortune of organising the renewal of the old

mA-munikaL mural painting high on the northern wall of

the second enclosure (rAja-mahEndran tiru-c-chuRRu) of

the Great Temple of Srirangam. The mural depicts

mA-munikaL discoursing on Sri-bhAshyam (as he had

received it from Sri kiDAmbi nAyanAr in kAncheepuram)

to Sri kOyil kandADai aNNan (Sri varada-nArAyaNa Guru)

and Sri eRumbi appA (Sri dEvarAja Guru), both of them

counted among mAmunikaL's eight staunch devotees known

as the 'ashTa-dig-gajam'.

 

ATTACHED is the photo of the mural as renewed.

 

The mural-renewal project was commissioned with

funding by Sri Ramarajan (former maniam of

tiruveLLaRai sannidhi), and was completed on July 10

(marked by Sriranga-nAicchiAr tiru-p-pAvADai

mahA-nivEdanam).

 

It was given to aRaiyar Sri Sampat-Srirangachar svAmi

to instal in the azhakia-maNavALan maNDapam an

impressive Tanjavur-idiom picture of mA-munikaL's

bhagavad-vishayam discourse. It was at the conclusion

of the year-long discourse rendered in the audience of

namperumAL that the 'Sri-SsailESa dayA-pAtram' taniyan

was revealed. The new picture was in replacement of

the old, and smaller-size, one that was hung for long

years in poor advantage.

 

This aRaiyar svAmi seems to be animated by the memory

and spirit of the great kUra-nArAyaNa jeeyar in

rendering precious service to Our Lord in terms of

renovations of the Great Temple structures and

greening of the environs. His restoration of the

vasanta- maNDapam and the gifting of the gopuram-like

pagoda in teak wood carving for Our Lord are

remarkable for artistic taste and devotion. In this

respect, the aRaiyar svAmi is in the ranks of Sri

Krishna-premi svami, Sri tiru-k-kOTTiyUr Madhavan

svami and Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Svami. Salute them

all !

 

This is a happy scenario of true service to Our Lord,

even like the tribute to mA-munikaL, as recorded in

the pUrva-dina-charyA ~

 

("kAlE kAlE vara-vara-muni:

kalpayan manGalAni"

 

~ Bless mA-muni who planned and executed every day a

contribution and benign service.)

 

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,

tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.
