SrI:

 

Dear SrI VaishNavAs of the World:

 

adiyEn's dandavath praNAmams to you all

and here is an invitation/appeal to you

and your family to take part in a magnificent ,

new Kaimkaryam of SamarpaNam of RATHNAANGI for

SrI DevanAtha PerumAL (Uthsavar of ThiruvahIndhrapuram).

 

Lord DevanAthan's beauty and the anantha kalyANa guNams

have been celebrated by Swamy Desikan and Thirumangai Mannan .

The beautiful picture of Uthsavar DevanAthan can be accessed at:

 

http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/temples/tiruvahindrapuram/utsavar.jpg

 

There You can have His sevai with SrI HemAbhjavalli

ThAyAr on Dolai . The archakaas of ThiruvahIndhrapuram

are known for their alankAra Kaimkaryam for the dhivya

dampathis and their deep devotion to Swamy Desikan , who

spent close to 40 long years of His eventful life at

ThiruvahIndhrapuram . Swamy Desikan composed nine

SrI Sookthis about Lord DevanAthan at ThiruvahIndhrapuram

at the command of Lord DevanAthan.They are:

 

1) SrI DevanAyaka PanchAsath (Sanskrit)

2) SrI Achyutha sathakam (Prakrutham)

3) MummaNikkOvai (Tamil)

4) Nava MaNi Maalai (Tamil)

5) Panthu ( Tamil)--Not Available Anymore(NAA)

6) Kazhal (Tamil)--NAA

7) AmmAnai (Tamil)--NAA

8) Oosal(Tamil)--NAA

9) yEsal (Tamil)--NAA

 

SrI Raghuveera Gadhyam and SrI Gopala Vimsathi

might also have been created here by our Great AchAryan.

 

Here were born the SrI sookthis of SrI HayagrIva

SthOthram , SrI Garuda Panchasath .The great

Rahasya grantham in MaNipravALam , Paramatha Bhangam ,

was created here on the Fifth day of one Thai Maasam

in front of Lord DeavanAthan on the banks of PeNNai river.

Through this grantham , which is a summary of that

important debate , Swamy Desikan defeated soundly

the prathivAdhis from other systems of philosophy

and established the greatness of VisishtAdhvaitham

as elaborated by Bhagavad RaamAnuja , who followed

the foot steps of His PoorvAchAryALs.

 

The many sided genius of this great AchAryan has

blessed BhakthAs for the past 700 plus years

and the 120 plus powerful SrI sookthis of this AchAryan

--SthOthrams , PrakaraNa granthams , Rahasyams ,

Kaavyams , Naatakam , VYAkhyAnams , Vaadha granthams ,

RakshA granthams and anushtAna granthams--serve us

as beacon lights to enthuse and encourage us to

perform Bhagavath-BhAgavatha-AchArya Kaimkaryams daily.

 

One such humble Kaimkaryam that is being announced today

is the plan for the samarpaNam of RathnAngi for Lord DeavanAthan ,

who is very dear to Swamy Desikan. His son , Swamy NainAcchAr

performed Prathishtai for the archA vigraham of Swamy Desikan

--sculpted by Swamy Desikan Himself-- next to Lord DevanAthan

so that Swamy Desikan can continue His nithyArAdhanam to

the dhivys dampathis ThriuvahIndhrapuram even today .

 

Swamy Desikan's ThirumALikai and the well constructed with

His own hands are still there at this dhivya desam.

Let us be blessed by our AchAryan and His paramparai to engage in

this once-in-a-life time Kaimakryam to present Lord

DevanAthan with the most beautiful Rathnangi that

would delight the heart of Swamy Desikan/Venkata Naayaki

and SrI HemAbhja Valli ThAyAr . Let us make our sankalpam today

varai edutthu nirai aLittha maasil VaasudEvanE

sem-sol-anbar sinthai koNDu thIthilAthA dhUthanAit-

tErum oornthu tEsuyarntha SELVA DEIVANAAYAKA!

vencholALar kaala dhUthar veesu paasam vanthenmEl

vizhunthu azhunthi yAnn ayarnthu veezhvatharkku munna Nee

anjal anjal anjal yenRu aLikka vENDum AcchyuthA

adiyavarkku maruL iyakkum Adiyavarrkku MeyyanE !

 

--Nava MaNi Maalai: 8

 

(Meaning based on Vaikunta Vaasi Sri U.Ve. Oppiliappan KOil VidvAn

SrirAma DesikAcchAr Swamy's translation): Oh Lord who

is true to His devotees and blesses them by banishing

their ajn~Anam and who lives forever at the dhivya dEsam

of Thiruayinthai known for its dense green groves through

which the clouds rest and then travel! In a previous time,

You protected the suffering cows and the calves of

Gokulam from the rain of stones sent by angry Indran

through the lifting the Govardhana hill and ny holding it

as an umbrella for them. During the same KrishNAvathAram ,

You travelled to the court of KouravAs on behalf of

the PaaNdavAs , who are known for speaking truth

and protected them . In the battle field of

Kuru kshEthram , You served as the Saarathy for

Arjuna and performed the noble GithOpadesam for him to

remind him of his duties to engage in the just war.

At that battle field , You came to the rescue of many of

Your adiyArs during the times when they faced mortal

danger. adiyEn thinks of all of these paramOpakArams of

Yours as Your SaraNAgathan and appeals to You to save me

from the terrors of the noose of Yama dhUthAs before it

fall on me during my last moments by granting me

abhaya pradhAnam thrice with Your reassuring declaraion of

" anjal anjal anjal " .Oh Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram !

This is my prayer to You !

 

Dear BhakthAs and Suhruths ! With folded hands , adiyEn

requests you all to join in this Kaimkaryam , support it

and recieve Swamy Desikan's and the ThiruvahIndhrapuram

dhivya dampathi's anugrahams !

 

SrImath Azhagiya Singar Thiruvadi,

Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri SaThakOpan
