Respected Bhagawathas,

Today is very important day for us, today is Chithra pournami, then

Thirunakshtram of Madhurakavi Alwar and Thirumalai Anantha Alwan.

There is

striking similarity between the two and also our Lord Shatruguna of

Ramayana. Oh oh, i know you may be asking, the answer is for them

thier Guru

is GOD. Like Shatruguna Worshipped Bharatha and thru him he saw Rama.

Like

wise Madhurakavi Alwar saw Sriman Narayana thru his Guru our beloved

SUper

Acharya Sri Namalwar, So for our Ananth Alwar His Guru Emperumanar

was all

for him.As you all are aware that I explore old Vishnu Temples in

karnataka

and I have been presenting the Pictures of it to you all. Since Long

time I

have read about Sri Ananth Alwan and heard he was born in Sriputtur

near

Melkote. I was trying to locate where it was.Then in the Month of

January

2008 before i left for tour of Hassan,Mandya and Mysore District

temples, I

had asked for help from you all regarding the places to be visited

and One

gentleman from Mumbai suggested that I should visit Kiranganur The

Birth

place of Anath Alwan, I was thrilled to get the telephone number etc.

I then

got in touch with Sri U.Ve.Ananthacharya mama, and told him of my

intention

to visit . I was not sure of my scheduled time of visit, for that he

told

any time just before reaching the place give him a call and in five

minutes

he will come and help in darsanam . Then on 14th January after

visiting the

Saligrama (The first place in karnataka which Udayavar landed), Then

came to

Chunchunkatte had the Darshan of Lord Rama and then from there

proceeded to

KR Nagara, then reached a place named Yelwala, there is Y shaped

road, The

road on immidiate left goes to Srirangapattnam and other on right

goes to

Mysore City. We took the road to Srirangapattanam / Brindavan

gardens, Then

reached Srirangapattnam then called up U.Ve.Ananthacharya mama, he

told to

travel 3 Kms from Srirangapattanam and then turn left on the road

going to

Pandavapura and Melkote, then travel another 3 kms and at the Right

side a

Board of Anandalwar trust will greet you and he will join us in 10

mins.

Then after 10 mins mama came along with his daughter in two wheeler.

I was

sursprised inspite of advanced age he came all the way driving from

srirangapattinam . Then he opened the Sannidhi and did Archanai to

Perumal

and all, gave us theertha Prasadam and then narrated the story of

Anathalwan

and also gave us some small book in Kannada on Anathalwan and I

handed it

over to my official translator (My wife Geetha only tranlates all

sthala

purana in kannada which i collect and translate and present it before

you

all). The Journalist mind started working and I asked him how they

identified this place as Ananth Alwans birth place, for that he told

they

dug age old the revenue records ( Patta) and in that it was mentioned

thirumalai Anath alwans name , they could only recover a small

portion of

the huge tract of land and built a temple for Lord Srinivasa and

other. And

every year Ananthalwan Usthavam is celebrated here and also at

Thirumala.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please visit the birth place of these Sri Vaishnava Acharya at

Kiranganur

for darshan please contact a dedicated soul and great scholar who is

in

service of Ananthalwar.Kiranganur is very very close to

Srirangapattinam.
