Dear BhakthAs : Today is the Special EkAdasi , when Sriman Hari NaarAyaNan is said to arise from His yOga NidhrA at KsheerAbdhi to bless us all . My recent Visit to ThiruveLLUr ******************************* During the previous EkAdasi ( Friday , October 16) , I had the good fortune of being in the company of a parama BhakthA of Sri Kanakavalli (Vasumathi)SamEtha Sri VeerarAghavan at ThiruveLLUr (VeekshAraNya KshEthram). This Param BhakthA is none other than Sri K.G.KrishNan Swamy , the son-in-law of Abhinava Desikan , UttamUr Swamy and the father of our Sri Anand of Storrs, CT . The extraordianry blessings at ThiruveLLUr ******************************************** This visit to ThiruveLLUr is a great experience and I would like to share it with you . Further , many of you have supported the MahA SamprOkshaNa Kaimkaryam of ThiruveLLUr divya desam . Hence You might be interested in the enjoyment of the divya desa EmperumAn and PirAtti as they enjoyed the newly constructed aasthAnams after JeerNOtthAraNam under the tight supervision of H.H. the 45th Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam . I am glad to report that Sri K.G.KrishNan's tireless efforts to serve the Divya Dampathis of ThiruveLLUr according to his Kula kramam has led to the establishment of a base fund of 10 Lakhs of Rupees including the two lakhs of Rupees donated by the AasthikAs of this special forum . Interest from this core fund would be used to support Veda and Divya Prabhanda PaarAyaNams at the two annual BrahmOthsavams at ThiruveLLUr according to Sri K.G.KrishNan swamy . The auspicious combination of Friday and EkAdasi blessed us to enjoy the Thirumanjanam of both Sri Kanakavalli and Sri VeerarAghavan . I had the additional good fortune of doing the entire day's AarAdhana Kaimkaryam for the divya dampathis culminating in the sErthi PuRappAdu . Addiitonal blessings for the day were the darsana soubhAgyam of the sacred BrindhAvanams of FIVE Ahobila Matam Jeeyars at ThiruveLLUr ( 32nd, 33rd, 34th, 35th and the 42nd Jeeyars) along with the shrine for Adhi VaNN SatakOpa Jeeyar . In the early part of this visit to TamilnAdu , I had the good fortune of visiting the BrundhAvanams of FOUR more Jeeyars (the 19th, 25th, 26th and 30th Jeeyars ) at PuLLambhUthamkudi- Nrusimhapuram .Here at ThiruveLLUr , I had the blessings of wearing for a few momnets the original Divya PaadhukhAs of the 42nd Jeeyar ( InjimEdu Azhagiya- Singar ) . This EkAdasi Friday is a blessed day in my life . I will write about this great sukrutham in my next postings . I kept repeating , " Adhya mE saphalam JanmA " . I will try to cover the following Information points in my postings .Some of them might be of interest to include in the Home Page for Sri VeerarAghavan set up with Bhakthi by Sri P.Dileepan . The souvenir that I have brought with me for Sri Anand has beautiful images of the Uthsavams at ThiruveLLUr .They would again be of interest for enriching the home pages of ThiruveLLUr divya desam . The specific Information points for planned coverage in my postings are : (1)KshEthra Mahimai (2)Murthy mahimai (3)Theertha Mahimai (4)Azhagiya Singar's kaimkaryams (5)Thirumanjanak Kattiyam for Sri VeerarAghavan and how it differs from the other well known Thirumanjanak Kattiyam for Sri RanganathA creatred by Parasara Bhattar (6) Excerpts from Sri VeerarAghava SuprabhAtham , AshtOtthara Satha NaamAvaLI, Swami Desikan's KimgruhEsa Sthuthi and UttamUr Swamy"s Sri VeerarAghava MangaLam . I guess that will keep me busy for a while. It is amazing how many memory waves submerge one with aanandham as aresult of the short seven day visit to Divya desams at Oppilaippan Koil , AadhanUr, PuLLampUthamkudi , Sri VilliputthUr , ThirumAlirumchOlai , Srirangam , ThiruveLLaRai , ThiruvallikkENi , Sri perumpUthUr , Hasthigiri , UlahaLandha PerumAL koil , ThiruvehhA , PaaNdavar DhUthar Koil and Hasthigiri (Sathyavratha KshEthram ) .
