Sri:Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Thirukkolur Ammal Varththaigal (Thirukkolur Penpillai Rahasyam) 64. ananthapuram pukkEnO ALavandhAraip pOlE Alavandar, the grandson of Nathamunigal, was the leader of Srivaishnavasat Srirangam and having taken sanyashrama dharma lived in his mutt there.While doing service to the Lord as the darshana pravarthaka, one day while he was at the temple, Thiruvaranga Perumal Araiyar was reciting Nammazhvar's Thiruvaymozhi with both music and abhinaya (dramatic action).As he sang "kedum idarAyavellAm" (Thiruvaymozhi 10-2), the phrase "kaduvinai kaLaiyalAgum ... ezhil aNi ananthapuram ... nadaminO namaragaLuLLIr" occured. Araiyar Swami looked at Alavandar's face and repeated"nadaminO" three times. Understanding the Lord's command through Araiyar, thet he should go to Thiruvananthapuram and serve

the Lord there, as per Azhvar's words, Alavandar took the permission of Namperumal. He then asked one of hisdisciples, Dheyvariyandan, to take care of his mutt and headedimmediately to Thiruvananthapuram. There he performed service to theLord and stayed for a while before his return to Srirangam. It was during this stay that he missed meeting Kurugai Kavalappan, thedisciple of Nathamunigal, to whom he had taught yoga rahasya and toldhim to pass it on to Alavandar.Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I understand the Lord's wish and goto Thiruvananthapuram like Alavandar did?"
