VANAMAMALAI SWAMI’S DINACHARYA (DAILY ROUTINE)-1

 

1. Swamy got up early in the morning with the recitation of the vakhya

guruparamparai starting with “asmath gurubhyO namaha” and surrendered to the

divine feet of all the acharyas. Swamy then meditated on the divine meanings of

the rahasya trayams (which gave a clear knowledge about the atmasvaroopam,

yAdhathmya Jnanam) followed by the archirAdhi gathi starting with “sathsangAth”

and finally the parasvaroopam. Following this swamy meditated on the vyuha

moorthis, vasudeva-sankarshana-pradhyumna and aniruddha and fell under the

divine feet of the bhagavan. Following this his thoughts flowed towards the

vibhava and antaryAmi roopams followed by the archA roopam. Finally swamy

meditated on the Acharya svaroopam.

 

2. Then reciting starting with “sristanabharanatheja:” swamy did his snanam

(bath) in the vushat kAlam meditating on his acharya, wore his thirumankAppu and

with the same thought then went to the sannadhi of aranganagarappan, did the

appropriate pooja (thiruvArAdhanam), prostrated the emperuman and offered food

to perumal and then accepted perumAl’s sreepAdha theertham (holy water obtained

as a prasadam after washing the divine feet of perumal). After that swamy sat

in front of the sannadhi and blessed all the interested souls with pancha

samskAram and showered his grace on all of them.

 

3. After this, swamy as per periya Jeeyer’s anushtanam, started with number of

shisyas towards deivanAyakan sannadhi. Starting with “Devi Godha” swamy did

mangalAsAsanam to all sannadhi’s including that of Sri Manavala mamunigal,

emperumAnAr and other azhvars and then proceeded inside and had divine darshan

of srivaramangai and deivanAyakan. Swamy then did mangalAsAsanam to vanamamalai

perumal, who is considered as the first among the Ekadasa moorthis.

 

4. After this swamy returned back to the mutt and took the seat of his acharya

(considering himself to be the divine feet of his acharya, mamunigal) delivered

excellent kalashepams (“vyAkhyAyasya vidhaktha soori parishath chiththApahara

kshamA”). Swamy had a great talent in expressing the bhagavat vishayam along

with the saptharasam (intricacies of sound), Artha rasam (indepth meaning) and

bhAva rasam (sentiments and emotions) in a manner that even ignorant and the

uneducated people can easily understand and enjoy. Swamy’s talent was so great

that even the birds which lived near the mutt used to talk among themselves as

follows: “Sriman Narayana is the paratvam, as per all Vedas and sastras; Brahma

and all other devas are seshas (under the control) of Sriman narayana”

 

Let us leave swamy to do kalashepam with all his excellency now and continue his

daily routine in the next posting.
