Swamy’s Kainkaryams

 

1. Swamy built a big and beautiful mandapam at the gopura entrance of the

deivanAyakan sannadhi opposite to the mutt for the benefit of all.

2. In the mutt, swamy constructed a thirumandapam by the name rAmanuja vilAs.

3. Swamy built the thirumanjana mandapam. Then to prevent the water from the

holy tank settruthAmarai flooding inside swamy built well-protected banks and

made arrangements for the water to remain within the limits.

In this way swamy did many very difficult kainkaryams with great ease. Swamy

remained with excellency, filled with jnana, bhakthi and vairAkhyam and

according to the teachings and practices of the poorvAcharyas, thereby guiding

all his shisyas in the right way and spreading our rAmAnuja siddhantham to one

and all. Swamy thereby remained in the kainkaryam of Sri varamangai nAchiyar

samEtha sri deivanAyaka perumal, spending his time in sath kalashepam for a

period of 55 years in the peedam.
