Swamy's Kainkaryams

 

 

 

Andal was very pleased and she welcomed swamy happily. Sri nAchiyar, wanted to

show to the world her regards towards Sri Periya bhattarpiran swamy who

submitted a beautiful chariot to nachiyar, as a father and hence nachiyar

entered the minds of all Acharya purushas and temple administrators and made

swamy get the first respect in the ghosti with swamy receiving the prathama

theertham, parivattam, mAlai and all other honours and also made it a custom

forever. All the acharya purushas and temple administrators accepted the same

and put their signatures in a written document and submitted in front of

nachiyar. Nachiyar very happily submitted the same to swamy through the

archaka. A copy of the same was placed in the temple as per the orders of Sri

gOdhA nAchiyar. Andal was bhattarpiran kOdhai and swamy was the jnana sandhadhi

of bhattarpiran swamy, who understood the mental state of nachiyar and submitted

nooru tadA akkAravadisil to azhagar, along with other kainkaryams (grand

pradhistA dhadheeyArAdhanam of andal and submission of pattu peedhAmbharam)

andal had a special feeling towards swamy, which is nothing surprising. Though

deeply involved in the divine darshan of nachiyar and enjoying her immense grace

swamy couldn't stop there for long thinking of the order of varamangai nAchiyar.

So swamy after getting the permission of andal started from srivilliputtur

blessing many ignorant souls on the way and reached Sri Varamangala nagar.

 

 

 

There swamy bathed in the divine sERRuthAmarai and finished his nithya

karmAnushtAnams while the SriVaishnavas who have missed swamy's darshan for five

years spending a day as many many years with great enthusiasm and inexpressible

feelings held poornakumbum amidst the sound of Vedas rushed to welcome swamy.

Swamy was highly pleased with the warm welcome while his mind circled around the

darshan of varamangai nAchiyar after such a long time. Nachiyar, also waiting

to see swamy send her thirumAlai, abhayahastam and other honours to her dear

father amidst the sound of divine instruments. Swamy held the prasadams over

his head and with great pleasure started towards the mutt along with his

disciples. From there swamy along with the pattu peedhAmbharam and other

articles swamy had got for Varamangai and her consort during his journey went to

do mangalasasanams to Varamangai sametha deivanAyakan. Swamy adorned emperuman

with all the jewels and enjoyed the darshan meanwhile deivanAyakan honoured

swamy with all due respects. Accepting the same swamy returned to the mutt did

mangalAsAsanams to aranganagarappan and stayed in his peedam blessing the

disciples with Sri pAda theertham and a grand dhadheeyArAdhanam.

 

 

 

During the bhoopradhakshinam the kings of riva, indoor and hatva were mesmerized

by swamy's jnana vairAkyam and they became swamy's dear disciples " guna: dAsya

mupAgatha: " Furthur in patna, kAnpur and hyderabad swamy did patnapravEsam

(coming round the city) and uplifted many many ignorant souls. These

kainkaryams of swamy has to be written in golden words in the history of

Vanamamalai mutt.
