[t'venkatam] Saranagathi Ahobilam Periya Thirumozhi: 1.7.10

[Guest guest]

Dear Sriman Narayanan :

 

Many Thanks for your kind mail .

 

Thanks very much for initiating a series of postings on

the similarities between Thirumangai Mannan's and

Swamy NammAzhwAr's Paasurams . Thirumangai AzhwAr

absolutely revered Swamy NammAzhwAr and started

the Adhyayana ( ThiruvAimozhi ThiruvizhA ) uthsavam by bringing

Swamy NammAzhwAr's archA Moorthy to Srirangam . That

traditon going back to 1000 plus years continues even now.

 

Swamy NammAzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,

V.Sadagopan
