Swamy's Kainkaryams

 

 

 

On an auspicious morning, Sri Swamy left his mutt and had the divine darshan in

nAchiyar thirumAligai (Srivilliputtur), koodal and mAlirunchOlai and reached

thiruppullAni. There Swamy did mangalAsAsanams to deivasilaiyAr. As per the

verse " sEthum drushvA samudrasya " swamy prostrated the divine bridge and started

from there. As per the wish of some disciples, rich merchants over there swamy

blessed the place by placing his divine foot into the city. The great wealthy

merchants largely honoured Swamy over there in a very grand manner. Then swamy

proceeded to do mangalasasanams to thirukkOtiyur and thirumeiyam. In pudukkOtai

samstAnam, also swamy was welcomed with respective honours. The disciples

belonging to sErankulam who had a great bhakthi towards the acharya requested

swamy to undertake the chAturmAsya vratham in their village itself. Swamy

accepted the request and undertook his sankalpam in that village. The people of

the village did great dhadheeyArAdhanams to all the Srivaishnavas for the two

months and the uttAna mahotsavam was also done in the appropriate manner.

 

 

 

Then swamy left from there to do mangalasasanams to mannanar followed by the

visit to nandhipura vinnagaram, thirunaraiyur, thiruchchErai, Thirukkudandhai,

thiruvinnagar, thiruvelliyankudi and did mangalasasanams to the respective

emperumans. Swamy was deeply honoured with sraddha bhakthi by the

madhAdhipathis of thiruvAvaduturai and thirupananthAl. Then swamy visited

udaiyArpAlayam where the jameendhAr of the place welcomed and honoured swamy in

the appropriate manner. Then swamy through the route of kurugaikAvalappan

sannadhi reached Srimushnam. Reminded of the divine verse of nammazhvar,

" jnAnapirAnai allAl ellai nAn kaNda nalladhuvE " swamy did mangalasasanams to

jnAnapiran and started his journey towards veeranArayanapuram. There swamy

prostrated nAthamunigal and Aalavandaar and holding on to their divine feet did

mangalasasanams to mannanar. Then swamy reached pondicherry. There the way

swamy was welcomed by the govt. officials largely pleased swamy. Then swamy did

mangalasasanams to thirukkovaloor Ayan along with the mudal Azhvars and through

the same route as followed by our poorvAcharyas swamy reached thirumalai. There

swamy had the divine darshan of alarmEl mangai urai mArban then swamy proceeded

to thiruneermalai did mangalasasanams to neervannan and finally swamy reached

mAdamA mayilai thiruvallikeni.
