The Makara Kandi Kaimkaryam at ThUppul for Swamy Desikan

***********************************************************************

adiyEn has already invited your attention to another ongoing Kaimakryam which is 67% complete.

It is the Makara KaNDi Kaimkaryam for Swamy Desikan at His avatAra Stalam of ThUppul. we need 6 Laks of Rupees to complete the remaining 33% ( One third) of the Kaimakryam . adiyEn invites You all to take part in thsi Kaimkaryam .

 

Let us now study briefly the significance of this special Kaimakryam :

 

Makara KaNDi : Makaram is a mythical , aquatic creature and amphibian. The tradition identifies Makaram " with water, the source of all existence and fertitlity ." Makaram is conencted also with Mahaa Lakshmi , the links to all kinds of everlasting wealth .

 

Makara KaNDi is a special AabharaNam ( a special Necklace ) worn by Malayappa Swamy of Thirumala along with Lakshmi Haaram on His GarudOtsavam day . Malayappa Swamy 's other famous name is LORD SRINIVASAN , the Lord on whose chest Mahaa Lakshmi resides

permanently .

 

Swamy Desikan is the avatArram of the Temple Bell of Lord of Thirumala . We will leave the interweaving of all these links to the BhakthAs of Swamy Desikan .

 

Today is Iyppasi Friday , a day dear to Mahaa Lakshmi eulogized by Swamy Desikan in SrI Stuti (http://www.sundarasimham.org Book #1).With Her anugraham , all things are possible . Bhagavath Bhakti , AchArya Bhakti , Kaimkarya Praapti come within our reach .

 

We will commence this Kaimakryam with a prayer to Her from Sri Lakshmi Sahasram of Sri VenakatAdhvari Kavi :

 

HayarUpadharO Aasa mastE SritalOka: kalayAmunA samastE

jushatE dhishaNAvikAsamastE dhuritE Devi bhavadhuraSA samastE

--54th slOkam of Chitra Paddhati

 

Using Yamaka chitram , The poet who was an intense bhaktA of Swamy Desikan says: " Oh SrI DEvi ! Those who have taken refuge at Your sacred feet becomes omniscinet (Sarvajn~an) Like Your Lord HayagrIvan. Your benovolent glances chase away all sins that stood in the way of the full blossoming of his Jn~Anam(dhishaNa vikAsam). Before it was sankuchitam ( shrunk) and now it reaches its full svAbhAvika (intrinsic)

dharma bhUta Jn~Anam.

 

Swamy Desikan blessed us with Sri Stuti to gain the paripoorNa anugraham of SrI Devi , the anapAya Mahaa nidhi of the Lord ( the limitless wealth which will never diminish or disappear) .

 

Let us particpate in the Makara Kanti SamarpaNa Kaimakryam for Swamy Desikan . Please let me know of your interest to join in this Kaimkaryam . adiyEn will post a few articles on the Kaimakryam and Swamy Desikan's MahOpakAram for us .

 

The creation ofthis Makara Kanti is expected to be completed by the craftsmen by VaikunTha EkAdasi day and presented to Swamy Desikan in Mid January during the anushtAna KuLa Utsavam , when Lord VaradarAja and AchArya RaamAnuja will visit Swamy Desikan at His ThUppul sannidhi .
