Dear Haribhaktas, Forwarding the message.... *******************************************************************************************************Swamiji’s of Sri Sripadaraja mutt Sri Sri Vignananidhigalu visited Tirumala On 9th Oct 2007 to have the darshan of Sri Srinivasa.Swamiji along with the parivara, reached Tirumala on 8th Oct 2007 evening and camped at the Sri Raghavendra swamy mutt.On 9th morning, the higher officials of TTD visited Sri Mutt and invited swamiji for the darshan of Srinivasa.Accepting the invitation, Swamiji along with shishya paripara came near the Bedi Anajaneya swami temple opposite to the mahadwaram. The swamiji was received at the Bedi Anjaneya temple with “Chatari†maryathe. A grand procession consisting of

Veda pandits of Temple, elephants, deevati along with nadaswara party accompanied the swamiji from the Bedi Anjaneya swami temple to the main entrance of Srinivasa.It is to be noted here that CHATARI maryathe to the peetadhipathi’s of Sri Sripadarja mutt, is the rarest honor bestowed to the swamiji who visit for Srinivasa darshan. Only few Madhwa mutts enjoy this special privilege, Chatari is the representation of Srinivasa at Thirumala. Which means, Srinivasa himself comes and takes the swamiji to his place, Ananda Nilaya. The Chatari maryathe is given to the peetadhipathi’s of Sri Sripadaraja mutt, since Sri Sripadaraja sent his priya shisya Sri Sri Vyasaraja to the Srinivas pooja for 12 years as per the request of Chandragiri Raja.Through mahadwaram, Swamiji entered the temple. Complete barricade has been put straight from the main entrance upto the garbha gudi of Srinivasa.Swamiji was requested

to have the darshan at the 1st entrance of Garbhagudi. Offerings from Sri Mutt had been offered to Srinivasa. On behalf of Sri Mutt, Arathi was performed to the moola vigraha of Sri Srinivasa. Then temple archakaru presented the Sesha Vastra (Silk cloth which has been used for Moola Vigraha of Sri Srinivasa) to the Swamiji as a respect. Then Swamiji was invited into the garbhagudi and stood near the moola vigraha. Swamiji performed the chamara seva to Srinivas and all the deities in the Garbhagudi. Swamiji then had the darshan of Vyasaraja prathistitha Vimana Srinivasa. As per the tradition, the temple pandits gave manthrakshathe and gandha which has been used in Srinivasa seva to Sri Mutt.After the darshan, Swamiji returned to Sri Mutt in a colorful precession.Swamiji offered sambhavana to all the vidwamasaru, arachakaru and officials of TTD as per the Sri Mutt sampradaya. *********************************************************************************************************
