A God equal to Sri VenkatEsA, there never has been, and there never will be. " " Salutations to Lord Pundarikaksha Who pervades the whole universe, Who is always accompanied by Goddess Lakshmi, Who rests on the divine couch of Adisesha, Who looks after the forlorn, and Who is the protectorof the whole universe. " Dear Sri Sadagopan SwAmi, Thank you very much for your wonderful translation of SrinivAsa prapatthi, SrinivAsa mangalam, etc. It is really exciting to know that our purvAchArya, HH Sri AthivaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar built the steps and mandapams for the devotees to climb on the divine hills of Thiruppathi. Thanks for your information. adiyEn gets reminded of HH 44th Jeeyar for his building the rAja gOpuram of Sri Rangam and HH our present Jeeyar for his endeavour to make the divine hills of Sri Ahobilam accessible to everyone. This only shows our achAryAs " apAra karunai " towards all the common people and their " matchless devotion " to our perumAl. Glorious indeed is the achArya parampara of our srI sannithi! Blessed are the disciples of srI sannithi!! adiyEn rAmanuja dAsan, lakshmikumAr krishnArpanam. ______ Sadagopan <sgopan wrote: AchAryAL's Tributes & connectios to Sri VenkatEsA ************************************************** Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar , the Founder of AhObila Matam ********************************************************* Another great AchArya , Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar was the founding Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam . He had received sanyAsam directly from the hands of BhagavAn NarasimhA at AhObilam . When this Jeeyar visited Thiruppathi , Lord SrinivAsA appeared in his dream and commanded the Jeeyar to build steps for pilgrims to climb Thiruppathi hills to reach His sannidhi without difficulty . Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar obeyed the Lord's command and built the steps for easy climbing and also mantapams in between for the pilgrims to rest during their climb up the hill .These steps are present even today and devotees of Lord SrinivAsan climb them to reach the Lord's sannidhi. The ties between Lord SrinivAsan and the AchArya paramparais are deep and profound . To be Continued Srimate Sri Laksminrisimha Divya Paduka SevakaSrivan Satakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama: Talk to your friends online with Messenger.
