*Today (12/12/2006) Karthigaiyil pooram is the day in which in the year 1932

our revered acharya, Sri Sri Kaliyan vanamamalai ramanuja Jeeyer swami, came

to this world to uplift all of us from this ocean of samsara. Swamy is

entering his 75th year on this auspicious day. Swamy is highly talented,

and has great proficiency in Tamil, Sanskrit, Hindi and English. Moreover

swami has an extraordinary capability to sing divine music. *

 

* *

 

*Adiyen can continue to write more and more about swamy's expertise in

sampradayam but all these will surely take a back seat while thinking about

swamy's sowlabhyam. Swamy likes to be very simple. The way swamy

approaches the shisyas with his polite, soothing words is something to be

experienced and cherished. Swamy is ever waiting with compassion to clarify

the doubts of disciples with lucid explanation. Being an expert teacher in

his poorvashrama, swamy has a flair for making disciples understand the most

innate meanings embedded in the works of azhvars and acharyas passed on from

the Vedas and Upanishads. *

 

* *

 

*Swamy enjoys being under the nithya kainkaryam of Vanamamalai Deivanayaka

perumal and aranganagarappan and proudly declares himself to be the father

of Sirivaramangai Nachiyar. Swamy holds the 30th pattam in the hierarchy of

vanamamalai Jeeyers starting from Ponnadikkal jeeyer swamy the founder of

the vanamamalai mutt and the prime disciple of Swamy manavala mAmunikal. Swamy

does regular sancharam all over India for the benefit of the disciples who

are spread all over the world. Thothadri mutt is present all over India and

there are lots of thothadri shisyas even in Nepal. Today we have thotadri

shisyas all over the world. For the benefit of those outside India, swamy

gives upanyasams through the phone enlightening shisyas and abhimanis miles

away from the divine feet of the acharya.*

 

* *

 

*Our Sri Swamy's next project is the construction of vanamamalai mutt in the

most important Srivaishnava divyadesam, Thirumalai. On this auspicious day

let us all vow to make this aspiration of swamy a grand success by

supporting swamy in all ways. *

*Adiyen places a humble request to all vanamamalai shisyas and

abhimanis. Acharya

sambhandam is very very important in our sampradayam. As swamy mAmunikal

says, "Acharyan chichan Aruyirai pEnubhavan seerArum chichchan avan

seervadivai" we surely have to be in association with the acharya in order

to obtain knowledge and also to do kainkaryam to the acharya (the very

essence of gaining knowledge is to do kainkarya). Fulfilling the wishes of

an acharya and spreading his fame to all is our prime duty. So let us all

join hands in the acharya kainkaryam and thereby make Sirivaramangai

nachiyar, deivanayaka perumal and aranganagarappan happy. Acharya is the

divine feet of perumal so if we do service to the acharya we in turn give

happiness only to the divine couples.*

 

* *

 

*So let us all join together to do mangalasasanams to our acharya on this

divine day,*
