[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear SrIvaishnavas,

 

This is the first tirunakshatram of an azhagiyasingar in sarvadhAri

samvatsaram.

 

29th paTTam SrI parAnkuSa yatIndra mahAdESikan incarnated in lAlAppETTai

agrahAram in 'vajram' vamSam.

 

After AsthAnasweekAram (1836 C.E), He started His sanchAram from

madurAntakam, after doing mangaLASAsanam of SrI Janakavalli samEta

kOdanDarAman of SrI ErikAththa Ramar temple.

 

After mangaLASAsanam(s) at kanchi, tiruppuTkuzhi etc, He reached the purANa

stalam 'tiruppARkaDal', which is located at the bank of pAlAr river.

While staying there, He invited SrI Gadadarapuram chakravartyAcharya swamy

to ascend the throne as 30th paTTam azhagiyasingar, as already ordained by

His Acharyan. (we have already seen that 30th paTTam HH offered golden

tiruvaDi for ArAvamudAzhwAn of tirukkuTanthai. SrI Lakshminrusimhan

suprabhAtam being recited at SrimaTam everyday, was composed by 30th paTTam

HH, SrI Srinivasa vEdAntadESika yatIndra mahAdESikan)

 

29th paTTam azhagiyasingar stayed at tiruppARkaDal kshetram (as

EkAntaseelar) and asked His successor to proceed further on sanchAram with

perumAL.

 

He is extolled as 'vEdArtha sAraJnar' in His mangaLamAlai.

 

Let's remember to recite His taniyan and reflect on Him (on Sunday)
