Swamy’s kainkaryams

 

As per the practices and advices of the poorvAcharyas, swamy remained in the

nithya kainkaryam of Srivaramangai nAchiyar samEtha sri deivanAyaka perumal and

also welcomed all the srivaishnavas and made them rejoice with good kalashepams

and remained establishing the sampradayam. Meanwhile, it was time for azhvar’s

vaikAsi brahmotsavam. Swamy started his journey to thirunagari and reached

there on the evening of the seventh day utsavam. Swamy was well welcomed and

honoured by azhvar. Later on the nineth day as usual azhvar seated himself on

the thiruththEr (mahAratham). Special offerings as per usual trend was

submitted to azhvar and then distributed to all the srivaishnavas. Swamy then

accepted the respective honours and also the prasadam and as per azhvar’s wish

returned back to the mutt. The next day, the tenth day of utsavam after

azhvar’s avabruthasnanam swamy returned back to VanamAmalai.

 

After some days, wanting to do mangalAsAsanams to andal swamy went to nAchiyar

thirumAligai (Srivilliputtur). There after doing mangalAsAsanams to azhvar,

swamy then started his journey towards srirangam to do mangalAsAsanams to Periya

perumal (sriranga mangala nidhi). On the way swamy visited many divya desams

and then did mangalAsAsanams to thiruvEnkatamudaiyan. Then swamy visited

bhoodhapuri (Sriperumbudur) and was honoured by sri rAmAnujar with great love.

After doing mangalAsAsanams to EmperumAnAr, swamy visited thirukkOvAloor and

other divya desams and on the way went to kattumannar kudi and did

mangalAsAsanams to mannanar, nAthamunigal and Aalavandaar. There swamy did

bhagavat vishaya and sribhAshya kalashepams and then proceeded to chitrakoodam,

did mangalAsAsanam and visiting all the divya desams on the way went to

nandhipura vinnagaram and did mangalAsAsanams to nAthan. In nAthan koil swamy

reconstructed the mutt which was in a very bad state and then started from there

to do mangalAsAsanams to rAja mannar.

 

In mannargudi as per the requests of the srivaishnavas over there, swamy

reconstructed a mutt big enough to accommodate gopalan during the fourth day

panguni utsavam in govardhanOdharana thirukkOlam to shower his blessings on one

and all. Then swamy made a beautiful expensive ratham for gopalan for the last

day utsavam. Later honoured by mannar swamy happily returned back to

VanamAmalai.
