SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of the SaraNya Dhampathis :

 

It gives me great pleasure to share with you

the news about the formal completion of

the Thiruvaheendhrapuram RathnAngi Kaimkaryam .

 

I take this opportunity to thank every one of you ,

who supported this once in a life time Kaimakryam

to make us all Krutha KruthyAs . My special and sincere

thanks are to SrimAn Srinivasan Sriram of California and

Sri Anil Aditya of Hyderabad for creating and

populating this web site in a tireless manner .

 

The photos taken during the SamarpaNam day

( Sep 16,2004) and the PuRappAdu day (Sep 17,2004)

along with a write up by Sriman Nedumtheru Kannan Swamy

in The Hindu News paper can be seen at the URL:

Please click the enlarge button on the images relating to

the RathnAngi to enjoy the quality of the Rubies , emeralds ,

PushparAgams that went into the making of this beautiful

RathnAngi as an offering to the Lord . The Nationally

acclaimed Gold Smith ( expert in the creation of such

temple Jewelery ) , Sri Muthuswamy AchAri and his team

have been inspired to create such a divine offering .

 

Swamy Desikan observed that those , who do not forget

the beauty of Lord DEvanAthan of Thiruvaheendhrapuram

will never be born in this karma Bhumi again ( na punar-

aavrutthi) . When we look at the close ups to enjoy

the bewitching beauty of the Lord's Thirumukha MaNDalam ,

we get a clearer understanding of Swamy Desikan's statement .

His dhivya soundharyam is indeed unforgettable !

The smile on the faces of the Ubhaya NaacchiyArs is equally

beautiful. Please do not miss offering your namaskArams

to the golden Lakshmi seated on the right chest of

Lord DEvanAthan in that part of the aabharaNam

(ValamArbhinil VaazhhinRa Mangayum pallANDE ).

 

This Kaimkaryam enabled adiyEn to post a series of

articles on Swamy Desikan's Prabhandhams and

SthOthrams on Lord DEvanAthan . It is a great

BhAgyam to experience even vicariously a small

portion of the intensity of the aanandhAnubhavam of

Swamy Desikan spilling across seven centuries .

One understands why Swamy Desikan became

" Venkata Naayaki " to eulogize and enjoy Her Lord ,

Sri Achyuthn in the lilting language of Praakrutham .

Captivating indeed is the dhivya soundharyam of

Lord DevanAthan enjoyed by Thirumagai Mannan ,

Swamy Desikan and all of His BhakthAs from time

immemorial .

 

A special souvenir has been released to commemorate

this delightful occasion . AchArya Srimukhams , Scholarly

articles and selected pictures from the RathnAngi

SamarpaNa Uthsavam have been included in this souvenir .

Copies of this Souvenir should arrive here soon .

 

May Sri HemAbhjavalli ThAyAr and Lord DEvanAthan

bless You all with sakala SoubhAgyams !
