> By the Blessings and Dhivyanugraham of SriMushnam Srimath Andavan,

> The 739th Thirunakshathrothsavam of Swami Desikan was celebrated at

> Thiruppullani Srirangam Srimad Andavan Ashramam Desikan Sannidhi as a

> three days festival.

>

> It started on October 1st the ThiruAvathara dhinam of

> Thirukkudanthai Desikan, the Samprathaya pravarththakar. A special

> alankara thirumanjanam was performed to Swami Desikan in the morning.

> In the evening Sahasranama archchanai with the Desika Sahasranamam

> composed by Thirukkudanthai Desikan was done.

>

> The second day being Vijayadasami day, visesha thirumanjanam was

> performed to Sri Lakshmi Hayyagriva Perumal after which He was adorned

> with noothana Silver kreetam, angi and kavacham donated by Madurai Smt

> Lakshmi Ammal. In the evening Sri Lakshmi Hayagriva Sahasranama

> archchanai was performed.

>

> On 3rd October, the day of Varshika Mahothsavam, after Thiruveethip

> puRappadu, special alankara thirumanjanam was performed to Desikan. As

> usual, full temple honours from Sri Adhi Jagannathap perumal Temple,

> (Perumal, Thayar sudikkoduththa maalai, theerththam, perumal thayar

> kaNdaruLiya thaLikai, parivattam) were brought by ALL the temple

> kainkaryaparals and Swami Desikan was honoured with them. A speciality

> this year. Normally these honours will be brought with the local

> temple officer (Peshkar we call that post)

> leading all kainkaryaparals. But this year, after a very long time,

> say after nearly 45 years, the Diwan and Administrative Secretary,

> Ramanathapuram Samasthanam Devasthanam who is the chief executive next

> only to Sethupathi, was present all along the Uthsavam and appropriate

> Mariyathai was given to him by the Asramam after SatrumuRai Ghoshti.

> Another unexpected special this year is the Mariyathai to Swami

> Desikan from Srivilliputhur Andal Rangamannar. Sri Srinivasa Bhattar,

> a local temple archchakar, on knowing that the Swami Desikan vigraham

> here was brought from Srivilliputhur long back, voluntarily arranged

> for bringing Andal Mariyathai in a surprise manner.

> Sri Vasan , GM, Canara Bank, who is very fond of this Kshethram and

> Swami Desikan, despite his busy schedule attended and when he made the

> Thirumanjana kattiya Vinnappam to Swami Desikan, almost everybody in

> the Ghoshti were emotion packed with tears in their eyes.(Nekiznthu

> nekkuruki ninranar)

> On all the three days Nalayira, Desika Prabhantha, Desika Sthothra

> Parayanam was done by M/S Radhakrishnan, Nathamuni and Govindarajan of

> Srirangam and Devanathan of Maduranthakam.

>

> A special mention must be made to Sri Sridharan of Maduranthakam

> without whose sincere and praiseworthy kainkaryams the uthsavam would

> not have been so grand. Sannidhi Aradhakar Balaji and assistant Balaji

> took special care to carry out each and everything to the delight of

> the devotees who gathered from far and near.

> All the three days special thatheeyaaradhanam was done .
