Hearing swamy’s welcoming note, all of them prostrated fully into swamy’s feet

and recited panchAdhees like “nakarmana” and “vEdhAhamEtham” and submitted all

the offerings they have got to swamy. Swamy accepted them and went inside

followed by the crowd of vAdhoolas and sat in his seat. Then swamy gave a brief

lecture on “poliga poliga” thiruvAimozhi padhigam and thiruppallAndu. Swamy

then blessed them all to become good srivaishnavas and spend their time in

mangalAsAsanams.

 

Then annan requested swamy to permit Vanamamalai Jeeyer swamy to do samasrayanam

to him. Periya Jeeyer stood up from his seat and went to a secret place and

called annan to that place through vanamamalai Jeeyer. Then swamy asked annan,

“Don’t you belong to a great kulam and are you not in a position to become the

kulaguru of many? Then why this request?” Annan replied, “ Please swamy don’t

say like that” and apologized for his earlier acts and explained to swamy about

his dream and devaperumal’s orders.

 

Swamy with a smile then said, “Ok. Now there are a few more who belong to

EyAn’s clan who haven’t change their mind yet. They have been opposing us for

quite sometime and now perumal will change them too like he did for you and so

along with all of them after three days, the fourth day from today, all of you

will get samAsrayanam”. Happy with swamy’s assurance all of them received the

prasadams and returned back to their places.

 

Then dEvaperumAl appeared in the dream of Annan’s cousin, varadAryar and ordered

him as follows: “Go immediately to kOil and surrender under the feet of

vanamamalai Jeeyer, who is like a shadow (padharEkhA) of ramyajAmAthru

yOgeendrar and who is fully involved in service to his acharya and hence very

close to his acharya’s heart, and get uplifted.” Surprised by the dream but

unable to neglect it, varadArya started towards kOil (Srirangam). He met annan

and others and told them his dream. They inturn told him about their dream.

 

Similarly periya perumal also changed a few others by declaring in their dreams,

“ I, who has taken archAroopam have now taken Acharyaroopam also. So you all

according to the verse, “Acharyam mAm vijAneeyAth bhava bhandha vimOchakam”

surrender with due regards into jeeyer’s feet and get uplifted”. Considering

this to be their prime duty all of them followed annan to Periya Jeeyer’s mutt.

Annan, took them all to swamy and requested swamy saying, “The day marked by

devarir has come and all those who remained egoist till today have been changed

by bhagavat krupai (perumal’s words in their dreams) and have now joined this

ghosti. Now we all beg devarir to please shower your grace on all of us.”

 

Pleased with the request, Periya Jeeyer ordered Vanamamalai Jeeyer to make

necessary preparations for the samskAram (ritual) and proceeded to do

thiruvArAdhanam After thiruvArAdhanam, swamy sat himself in front of the

sannadhi and called everyone interested in undergoing samAsrayanam.

“chakrAdhi dhAranam pumsAm parasambhandha vEdhanam I pathivrathA nimitham hi

valyAdhi vibhooshanam II”

 

Let us take part in the Acharya samAsrayanam of the vadhoolas and others in the

next posting.
