Update on Kaimkaryams: Part II

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

adiyEn would like to take this opportunity to

complete the list of Kaimkaryams that

have been left out from the previous note

on the subject :

 

(1) CD ROM on AzhwArs and Dhivya Desams :

Most of the graphics relating to the lives of

AzhwArs have been completed . The images of

the 106 dhivya dEsa EmperumAns have been

assembled from various sources .Some of these are

from Silpi's wonderful sketches gpoing back

to the fifties ,when he visited temples like

ThirumAlirum Cholai and drew stunning drawings

invoking the saanidhyam of the EmperumAns .

The text on the AzhwAr's lives and Sri Sookthis

will be completed and we are still shooting for

SanakarAnthi release .

 

(2) AdiyEn has accepted the responsibilty to

sponsor the nithyArAdhanams at the dhivya

dEsam of ThiruveLLIyankudi for the next year .

This is in response to the appeals by SVSS

for volunteers to come forward to support

the dhivya dEsams , which are in dire need of

support . ThiruveLLiyankudi is one of the Pancha

Raama KshEthrams close to mty village of

Oppilappan Koil , where Thriumangai performed

his mangaLAsAsanam after his visit to

Thiru IndaLUr , where he complained to

the PerumAL there(ParimaLa RanganAthan)

for not blessing him with his darsana

soubhAgyam : " , ThirumEni inna vaNNamenRu

kaateer IndhaLUrIrE , VaazhnthE pOm neerE "

 

In a mood of dejection , Thirumangai arrived at

ThiruveLLiyankudi and had a marvellous sevai of

the Lord and performed his moving mangaLAsAsanam

of Kola Villi Raaman resting on the banks of

MaNNai river , a tributary of Cauvery . His

paasurrams on ThiruveLLiyankudi PerumaaL are housed

in his Periya Thirumozhi : 4.10 decad .

 

There are many other temples like

Thiruttalicchanka NaaNmadhiyam ,

Aaduthurai perumAL Koil , Thirumeyyam

and ThirunAngUr Thiruppathis that need

attention to continue with nithyArAdhanams.

adiyEn appeals bhakthAs to get in touch

with Smt.Nagu Satyan and Sri T.A.Varadhan

for details on sponsorships oft hedhivya desam

adoption ptrogram .

 

(3) adiyEn will start a new series on Swamy

Desikan's ChillaRai Rahasyams to compliment

the current postings of Sriman Hari from

Singapore on " Desika Prabhandham " appearing

on the malolan net now. AdiyEn will initiate

this series on Swamy Desikan's Thirunakshathram

( October 8) after concluding the current series

on Sri HayagrIva Sthothram and seeking Swamy

Desikan's blessings for this serious effort .

 

(4) adiyEn has accepted to share the responsibility

for the sponsorship of the Kaarthikai RohiNi

celebrations of HH Poundarikapuram Srimath

Andavan as a part of his upcoming , well-planned 80th

birthday (SathAbhishEkam )celebrations next year.

 

November 12 is Kaarthikai RohiNi day and adiyEn is

thrilled to know that this ThirukkArthikai day coincides

with the Thirunakshathram of ThiruppANAzhwAr .

PoundarIkapuram happens to be our ancient village

from where my granfather on my father's side

moved to Oppiliappan Koil , some five miles away .

 

PondarIkapuram AaNdavans have performed many

Kaimkaryams for Lord Oppiliappan in the twenties

and thirties including the SvarNa Kavacham

for the dhivya Dampathis of Oppilaippan Koil.

This svarna kavacham is removed only for one day

in an year during JyEshtAbhishEkam .This kaimkaryam

is in honor of my granfather and his predecessors.

 

(5) Thirukkudanthai Desikan's AparyApthAmrutha

ShOpAanam will join the Home pages of PeriyANDavan

aasramam . As you know , this Sri Sookthi is modelled

after Swamy Desikan's own Sri Bhagavath DhyAna SOpAnam

inspired by ThiruppANAzhwAr's AmalanAdhipirAn .

requests the sishyALs and abimAnis of Sri matam
