PillailOkachAryA at thiruvallikkeni (old picture)It was a grand and great event

at KAnchipuram. It was morning 8.30 Amand with great splendour and pomp Sri

Poizhgai Azhwar with Sri PiLLaiLOkAchAryAr to his right and Sri MaNavALa

mAmunigaL to his leftentered the VishNu kAnchi. The SrEvaishNavites in and

around the townand those who thronged to participate caught this fervour, no

soonerthey entered this divine dhEsam.Then followed Sri yAthOthakAri perumAL

alongwith Sri VEaLukkai AL-ariazhasingar. The three thOlukkiniyAn were typical

in the sense that the kAnchikuDai shone out separately in an outstanding

fashion.The striking similarity between YathOthakAri perumAL and thEApperumALis

also a point to note.The ghOshti at the commencement spread to a long long line

with fourrows. Indeed great and the camera required three series shots

tocomplete this large divine gathreing of devotees and when the soun

of'pallANdu pallANdu' rent the air, aruLichEyal indeed come to stay

forever.YathokthakAri; Poizhgai AzhwAr for kanchi being his avathAra

sthalamtook part in the divine procession of PiLLai

LokAcharyArThriunakshathiram day. One may question, how come Peirya

jEyarparticipated? Those devout srEvaishNavites to our AchAryAs willdefinitely

say 'How can one miss the AchAryan?" Perhaps true.The fact however remains that

it was Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL who madethe works of Sri PiLLai lOkAchAryar known

and clear to one and all byhis wondeful vyAkyAnam-s. That is why we say '.sEr

vulagAriyar seidharuL naR kalai thEASupolindhidu nAL'The ghOsthi after

rendering 'mudhal thriuvandhadhi continued with'upadhEsa RathinamAlai' and

after compeltion of 4 vEdhi-s around pEAraruLALan sannidhi, culminated at The

fron to Sri PrathivAthibhayankaram aNNA sannidhi where these two EmperumAn-s

blessedPoizhgaiAr, PiLLai lOkAchAryar and Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL after

themangaLA sAsanam in the ThriunAngUr style. Yes, the pAsuram 'aippasivONam'

and 'mAthuLLa AzhwArgaL' piereced the air with great aura.This was followed by

the six pAsuram-s dedicated to Sri PiLLaiLOkAchAryAr by Sri MaNavALa MAmunikAL

in the upadhESa RathinamAlai.By the time it was around 11.30 Am and when the

grand sAthumuRai inthe unique kAnchipuram style - commencing with high pitch,

continuingwith it and escalating further more - culminated in a grand

fashion.After Thertha prasAdham- ThadhEyArAdhanai was also performed in a

goodmanner.dAsanvanamamalai padmanabhan
