Dear bAgawathAs,

 

The first pAsuram of Sri Adhi vAn satakOpan adaikkalappatthu is

 

Athi maRai uruvAn a AdhippuL veRpathanil

sOthi yena ulagam ellAm sugam peRavE vanthu uthittha

Adhi guru narasingan aruLaLE yOgiyAna

Adhi vaN seer satakOpan adi yinai en mudi maNiyE!

 

 

It was a loud " simha kOsham " when the entire gOshti really roared

" Adhi guru narasingan aruLaLE yOgiyAna " and all these 11 pasurams.

Thanks once again to Sri Poondi for providing the lead voice. This

also served as a fore-runner for gOshti as to how they can chant

during the nammAzhwAr mOksham the next day.

 

All the " seer " was presented to Sri namperumAL. Sri Venkat received

them on behalf of the Lord and did " bathil mariyAdhai " to the muth

and the shishyAs. Sri Sannithi shishyAs have celebrated Swami

desikan, other AchAryas and AdivAnsatakOpan in the past in USA. But

this is the first proud moment for all of us to have celebrated Sri

AdivansatakOpan in this unique ursavam that symbolise the arrival

of all our AchAryAs. It should be noted that 1 and a half feet tall

standing posture Sri Adivan satakopan with the malOlan was present

himself for this ursavam. Sri Venkat did a " bathil mariyAdhai seer "

for Sri Adivan satakOpan and the shishyALS of Sri Mutt on behalf of

Sri Ranganatha. The puRappAdu ended there. The gOshti resumed after

this.

 

The gOshti was also very touching and musical when the pathigam of

" ArA amuthE " was sung. Tears rolled down the eyes of many Sri

amudhan bhakthAls during this pathigam. After this, during the

" nalguravum " pathigam on Sri Oppiliappan, the chanting was paused

after the pAsuram " ennappan.... " . Symbolising " thanthanan thana

thAL nizhalE " ie Sri Oppiliappan provided the thAL nizhal for Sri

nammAzwAr as revealed by Sri nammAzwAr HIMself, was celebrated.

Everyone in the gOshti were adorned with sadari. The gOshti then

resumed and proceeded until " kangulum paglum " pathigam on Sri

Ranga nAtha and was stopped for the day. The voice was like a

thunder when everyone was singing this pathigam and performed the

sARRumuRai as well with the last 2 pasurams of this pathigam. The

attendance in the night session was around 150.
