In fact, he specifically mentions "thambagamAi niRkum thavam vudaiyEan AvEAnEa" Sri thirumalai ananthAn piLLai, a great disciple of sri rAmAnujA, who did pushpa kainkaryam in thirumalai and was affectionately termed as "AN piLLai" for his bravery and courage to go and settled down in thirumalai -It used to be full of wild animals, serpants and very difficult to live during those days. This AchAryA is said to be in the form of a tree where he attained salvation near the thirumalai temple. The 950th thirunakshathiram was celebrated last year. This year it was celebrated on 13th Sunday -for the convenience of one and all. Sevral srEvaishNavites for several dhivya-dhEsam-s including kAnchipuram, thiruvallikkEANi, vanamamalai , AzhwAr thirunagari, thirukkuRunkudi, srivilliputhur, srirangam, thirukkOTTiyUr etc. were all present. All thiru-vEnkatamudaiyAn pAsuram-s were rendered first from iyaRpA, mudhalAyiram and periya thiru-mozyhi. Thiru-voi-mozhi was then taken up and rendered fully. kaNNi nuN siruthAmbu ,irAmAnusa nURRandhAdhi and upadEsa rethinamAlai highlighted the concluding part. The SathumuRai was completed in befitting manner. Sri peirya/chinna jEyar and kAnchi azhagia maNavALa jEyar participated in the funciton. The TTD offcials helped the function to become a great success. dAsan vanamamalai padmanabhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
