Dear Sriman Murali Rangaswamy :

 

What a blessed trip to dhivya Desams and

completing the Bhara SamarpaNam for

Your dear daughter .

 

Visiitng our AchAryan's aasramam is like

a visit to one's place (house) of birth ( PiRanthaham ).

The most compassionate Acharyans welcome us

and inquire about Yoga KshEmam . We can not

move about without that anugraham .

 

I am happy to read about your sevais at ThiruvengadamudayAn

and Sri PadmAvathu ThAyAr Sannidhi . The power of Sri Daya

Sathakam is matchable only to itself .

 

Thanks very much fro sharing your delightful KshEthrAdanam

> Adiyen is having a productive visit in India from a Sampradayic as well as

> official standpoint. Upon reaching Bangalore, adiyen's professional

> engagements required travel to Chennai. After completing this, adiyen

> proceeded to Tirupati from Chennai. Adiyen was able to take in a

> marvellous tirumanjanam for Thayar on the first day of the Utsavam at

> lower Tirupati to accompaniment of the recitation of Udaka Shanti mantrams

> and Taittriya Upanishad. Adiyen had to rest content with Thayar anugraham

> this time due to a Shuba viruddhi news that reached him at this time. Upon

> completion of the vruddhi adiyen and family made another visit to

> Tirumalai. Due to bad roads and closure of a bridge near Tiruvallur, we

> had to take a longer route from Chennai. Nevertheless, an early morning

> 6.00 am start ensured that we reached the Sannadhi of Malayappa Swami in

> time for the Arjitha BrahmOtsava Sevai. During the ride up the Seven

> Hills, adiyen was engaged in recitation of the Daya Shatakam. As a result,

> it seemed that the bad roads caused by landslides were inconsequential and

> we reached the Venkatachalam hill swiftly. Adiyen and family were blessed

> with a beautiful Darshanam of Lord Srinivasa. Adiyen also had the Darshana

> Bhagyam of Varaha Swami. On the way back, another beautiful Darshanam of

> Thayar awaited us. Adiyen was speechless at this anukampa of Thayar and

> could only engage in respectful contemplation of Thayar through the

> Chatushloki verses-in particular rUpam yathathyadhBhutham.

>

> On the way back to Chennai, our driver learnt through his colleague that

> the Tiruvallur route had just opened up. Thus adiyen and family were

> graced by a beautiful Darshanam of Lord Veeraraghavar, Thayar and Ramar at

> Tiruvallur. Due to the threat of bad weather poor road conditions, and

> possible floods, adiyen in consultation with asmadhAcharyan advanced the

> program to visit Srirangam. As it turned out this was a most auspicious

> day. We reached Srirangam on December 10 and right away proceeded to the

> Ashramam to receive the blessings of H.H. The next day was Kaishika

> Ekadasi and Revati nakshatram. Adiyen was fortunate to make two trips to

> Ranganatha Temple on this blessed day. Early in the morning adiyen had the

> Bhagyam of Vishwaroopa Darshanam. Adiyen could only admire the Dhivya

> Tirumeni of Lord Ranganatha through the AmalanAdhipirAn Pasurams. While

> waiting in line for the Darshanam, adiyen was engaged in recitation of the

> Sriranga Gadyam. As adiyen beheld the glorious form of Lord Ranganatha,

> adiyen cold not help recalling the Kondal VaNNanai salutation due to the

> smell of navaneetam permeating the place. Even while awaiting Darshanam of

> Lord Ranganatha, a Swami who visited three Dhivya Desams the previous day

> blessed adiyen and family with the manja kappu from these Dhivya Desams.

> This Swami also helped adiyen to get excellent sevais at Thayar Sannadhi

> and 15 other Sannadhis at the Temple in record quick time.

>

> Adiyen then proceeded with family to Srimad Poundarikapuram Ashramam and

> performed Sankalpam for Kaveri Snanam. Upon returning from Kaveri Snanam,

> adiyen and family took part in the Sarrumurai Sevai. Adiyen's daughter was

> then blessed with BharasamarpaNam by H.H.-this was the crowning moment of

> adiyen's trip to Srirangam. In the afternoon adiyen and family visited

> Ranganatha Temple once more to get Darshanam of the Lord in all his glory

> before proceeding on Utsavam. On this day, Ranganatha received Maryadai

> from Tirumala-a wonderful sight indeed! Thayar's Shubha tanu again defies

> description. Adiyen then had the Darshana Bhagyam of Yoga Hayagrivar,

> Lakshminarayana, and Swami Desikan at the Desikar Sannadhi of the Ashramam

> and participated in the evening Sarrumurai sevai there. Phalaharam too was

> completed at this Sannadhi after which adiyen proceeded once again to the

> Ashramam. Adiyen had uniterrupted ekanta audience with H.H. this time and

> received a number of books published by the Ashramam. With the anugraham

> of H.H. adiyen left for Chennai early next morning and returned to

> Bangalore the same afternoon to attend to official engagements. With all

> major sampradayic objectives accomplished, adiyen took satisfaction in the

> " nirBharO nirBhayOsmi " salutation of Swami Desikan.
