Swamy's Kainkaryams

 

Swamy reached thiruvallikeni and did mangalasasanams to the divine feet of Sri Parthasarathi emperuman and stayed under the divine shadow for a few months, blessing all interested devotees/disciples with bhagavat vishayam and samAsrayanam. In between swamy visited Sriperumbudur and did mangalasasanams to emperumAnAr and then returned back to thiruvallikeni.

 

There the mahotsava celebration of first ramanuja jeeyer swamy went on in a grand manner as usual. Swamy welcomed many vidwans wot do ubhaya Vedanta upanyasams supplementing the same with many of his interesting additions wherever necessary mesmerizing the audience. Swamy honoured all the vidwans in the appropriate manner. DhadheeyArAdhanam, dolotsavam and other vaibhavams were done grandly thereby doing bhagavat-bhAgavata AarAdhanam appropriately.

 

Then as per the humble request of disciples and abhimanis swamy completed his chaturmAsa vratam in thiruvallikeni itself and then started his journey.

 

Through goolaloor-nellore route swamy reached noojvEdu samstAnam. The royal family over there who had special regards towards swamy and were his disciples (thiruvadi sambhandhigal) welcomed swamy and honoured him greatly and did all the kainkaryams for swamy and made him stay there for 2 months. Swamy pleased with their acharya bhakthi blessed them with sampradayic arthas in telugu made them clear with the Sri Ramanuja siddhAntham and thereby paved way for their upliftment.

 

Then swamy went till Rajamagendram, and then through palakOl-narasApuram-bejavAda reached bhakyApuram (hyderabad). There the nizAm king honoured swamy with virudhugal, pattupeedhAmbharam and dhadheeyArAdhanam samagris and welcomed swamy. Swamy entered the place and reached the varadarajan sannadhi called seethArAmabhag.

 

The next chaturmAsa vratam was observed over there. A wealthy person by the name SrikrishnasEt sponsored generously for dhadheeyArAdhanam and other expenses for those 2 months. Inspired by swamy’s pAnditvam and sattva gunas many people came forward to do many kainkaryams to swamy. Swamy started from there and reached nAntEdu honoured by many jameendArs all through the way in seerNapalli and other places.
