swamy desikan

daasasya viNNappam. Anushtanakula utsavam is one of the many utsavas that take place in the Kanchi Varadaraja swami temple. This utsava is conducted every year on the next day to Iyarpa satumarai which is conducted next day to adhyayanotsava satumarai.

This utsavam is conducted in order to remind the famous story that Lord Varadaraja safe guarded Ramanuja to Kanchi on the way from Kasi, from the jaws of death which was planned by yadavaprakasa. Both Varadaraja and Swami Bashyakara used to visit salai kinaru and then there will be a thirumanjanam for Lord Varadaraja.

This year this utsavam fell on Bhogi day. I wish to exchange my feelings with you. Usually on bhogi day Shri Aandal will go around the four mada streets on golden palanquin. Then after spending some time on swing, Aandal will visit thayar sannidhi for the feast. Then through the alvar prakaram She will visit the Swamy Desikan sannidhi situated near the dhwaja sthambam. There She will be welcomed by Swami with silk vastram, etc. which is called as darsana thamboolam. Then there Aandal Maryadai (Garland Honour) will be give to Swamy. After that there will be thirumanjanam for Aandal in which again the prasadam theertham and thulasi malai will be presented to Swami. Then the Aandal will be adorned with ornaments, etc. as a bride, and there will be goshty etc. after Maryadai to Swamy Desikan. She will be waiting in side of the Desikan sannidhi till evening to have a marriage with Lord Varadaraja. All these things took place this year too, but in a little speed so that the Lord goes for anushtana kulam utsavam.

Then the Lord Varadaraja proceeded for anushtana kulam utsavam with Swami Ramanuja. While returning to temple both varadaraja and Yathiraja used to visit Desikan sannidhi at tooppul. This year it was scheduled to 3.00PM. But perumal visited half an hour late by 3.30PM. Here Perumal will be welcomed by Swami with silk cloth, etc. which is called darsana thamboolam. Then after arghyam patrhyam, etc. to perumal in side of tooppul. There will be special naivedyams, such as ladu, mysore pak, padusha, cake, kesari, ksheerannam, karasewal, dosai, vada, iddli, panchamruthum, paanakam, etc. After naivedyam to Ramanuja and Swami Desikan there will be parivattom, garland maryadai, shrishatari, honour to Ramanuja and Swami Desikan. Then there will be goshty viniyogam. Usually Perumal stay here for more than one and a half hour but this year as kalyanotsavam is to be done in the evening all took place in a speed. Somebody criticized maniakar for the speed. The kalyanotsavam took place on scheduled time - 7.00PM.

But my feeling was this :as mentioned by sri desikan in padukasahasram"santastu santamapi na prathayanthy dOsham"

During the marriages if the muhoortham is in the morning around 7.30AM then jatakarma of the bride and vratum for the groom will take place swiftly. Just like that in the morning Aandal thirumanjanam etc. took place in speed. Vrata bakshanam for Shri Varadaraja at tooppul in haste. As vadhyar used to say during vrata bakshana time that it is time for muhoortha, so take it quickly, so as here the maniakar told to make it quick. In some marriages there will be one or two, who are relatives to both sides. Just like that Swamy Desikan here become relative for both sides and He supervised Aandal’s programme then at tooppul Perumal’s programme also. Thus this utsavam denotes that Swami Desikan belongs to both the Aandal and Perumal. Of course it is He who proclaimed that “Dampathi Daivatham Naha”.

Swamy says in rahasyathreyasaram

who is bhakta there is no timely moksha but there will be more bhagavat anubhavam, who is prapanna there is no more bhagavat anubhavam, but even I am prapanna I tried to get more bhagavat anubhavam here itself by this way.
