Sathyagalam - Visual Treat

[Guest guest]

SrI:

Dear Srivaishnavas,

 

Let me apologise for giving you your visual treat late by one week. Yes

Sathyagalam function was celebrated on 1st November 2009. I thank you all for

making it a grand success. This year’s Devotees turnout was large , I should

also thank Sri U Ve Dr.Ananthapadmanabhachar , he did lot of publicity in TV

Media . Now people know Sathyagalam, yes in 2003 only very few were knowing it

and in internet also only one or two mails were there in archives page and i

came to know about it through my Anna and my Astrological Guru Sri.

K.R.Arulaalan, and Sri Diwakar only. Then a web site was built with inputs from

Sri K R Krishnaswami Mama and Sri B S Shelvanarayan Mama. Now Sathyagalam has

two websites. www.sathyagalamtemples.net and sathyagalam.desikantemples.net.

The Uniqueness and details are available in the website.

 

On 31st October itself we left for Sathyagalam and had the Thula Snanam same day

as we know next day crowd will be more. Next day H H Parakala Jeer Swami arrived

along with Dolai Aradhanai Moorthy Sri Hyagreeva He was accorded the

Poornakumbham Mariyada. His Kainkaryapara set up the Dolai etc. Then he started

the Aradhani of the Moorthies. Meanwhile Veda Parayana was going on one side,

You should see the flow of visitors , One full bus came from Hulikal in Hassan

District ( Led by My Wife’s Paternal uncle Sri H R Kasturirangan a Former I G of

Karnataka Cadre), Mysore, Coimbatore, Chennai, two buses from Bangalore ( Led by

Sri U Ve H R Sridhar Mama) and lot of Parakala Mutt Shyshyas and Asmath Acharyan

H H Rangapriya Swamis Shyshyas. All devotees were given the Morning Phalaharam

along with Coffee/Milk. You should see the way the Parakala Swami was doing the

Thirumanjana etc. Then I was in constant touch with Kainkarya Paras of Asmath

Acharyan about his journey to Sathyagal

am ( I was given to understand Swami Woke up at 3 Am and did his daily routine

and started the journey ) Swami inspite of his advanced age he told he will

attend the function. Then time was flying and 11.30 Asmath Acharyan was near

Sathyagalam , So we requested H H Rangapriya Swami to Come directly to Cauvery

banks where the Avabratha Snanam was going to take place. Then Swami Desikans

Uthsava Vigraham was taken in procession to Cauvery you should see the way the

swami was taken in Vayara nadai ( please excuse me if i have given wrong

description. ) Adiyen captured those moments also in video mode will shortly

upload in utube. Then All reached the Avabratha snana kattam and thank GOD got a

Vantage position to capture the Visual treat for you all. By the Time Asmath

Acharyan also reached the venue. Then he saw me and with eye contact i convey my

Namaskaram and My Karunamurthy Blessed me and asked my well being. My heart

was filled with Joy on seeing asmath Acharyan and Anan

da kaneer was flowing in my eyes .Then Madhavan Bhattar and his brothers

conducted the Thirumanjanam to Swami Desikan with Ksheera,Dhadhi,Madhu etc and

finally Haridhara ( Manjal) Powder. They carried the Svami Desikan then they did

Sankalpa and then finally All had holy Snanam. Then all came back and while

Swami came back in procession he was brought back in same way inside the temple

same rhythmic walking style.

 

Then Asmath Acharyan Arrived and he was received with Poorna kumbha Mariyada.

Then he reached the stage did Mangalasasnam to Uthsavar Kote Varadharaja Swami,

Swami Desikan Uthsavar and Aradhanai Moorthy of Parakala Mutt. Then Maha Mangala

Harathi Started. One side Veda Gosha was being recited. My well wisher

Dr.Satakopa Thathachar Swami of Thooppul (he is serving as Professor in Sanskrit

University , Kaladi in Kerala ) came to Sathyagalam after finishing his Sadhas

at Srirangam ,he had brought the Malai Mariyada from Sannidhi of Devadhi Rajan,

Deepa Prakashar and Ranganathan. Then he did the Samarpanam of the Divya Desham

Malai Mariyada to Swami Desikan.

 

Then H H Rangapriya Swami Released three Books. One was Swami Desikas "

Dasaavatara Shostra " brought out by Sudharma Prakashana ( They are the only one

who are bringing a Sanskrit Daily from Mysore since last 40 years in print and

now in e-form also). Then Two Books “Mudalayiram - Middle two Alwar " and

Thirumangai Alwar by Sri K R Krishnaswami mama whose email id is availbale in

above mentioned website.

 

Then Grand finale was Thadiaradhanai.

 

This year also Adiyen distributed Swami Desikan Ninra Thirukolam Pictures free (

Of all the years this years picture has come out well and thanks to Brother Sri

A. Balaji of King Production who helps me and advices in website related matter

( He only printed the pictures at a very reasonable rate since it was for free

distribution) . That picture i will shortly put it in Swamis websites.
