Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
 
Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,
 
Thanks for the nice piece of anubhavam.
 
Why Thiruvallikeni? was your question. 
 
1) If it has to be explained with practical reasoning.  Thiruvallikeni is a divya desam which is in the heart of a major city.  So there is a high probability for even a person who has little knowledge about temple and perumal to utter this name (or atleast in a modified form as triplicane).  To be frank in today's sad state even those who call themselves srivaishnavas are not aware of dd's like Thirukurungudi, Thirumoozhikalam etc so where is the chance of other lowkikas to utter such names. 
 
2) Consider adiyen as a normal lady.  Then, it is well known to all, that girls (especially after marriage) have a special affection towards their parent's place.  They may have it always but they tend to show it more explicitly after marriage.  So you may call it a "porandhAththu paRRu" So adiyen wants to hear the name "Thiruvallikeni" from the mouths of one and all and be filled with joy.  When it is the case for a girl who has come from some village not well known what to say about adiyen who has come from a DD that too adorned by our dear kaliyan as "oppavarillA mAdhargal vAzhum mAda mAmayilai thiruvallikeni" Is there anything wrong in adiyen being filled with sAtvika ahankaram?
 
3) Considering all jeevatmas to be stri prAyargal and emperuman alone to be the purushOtaman we are all wedded to emperuman through our acharya.  Though all jeevatmas have a similarity in jnanam still we are all different and hence we have different tastes not only in lowkika vishayams but also in choosing our Ishta deivam (Here adiyen is not talking about choosing different devatas but difference in abimanams of different bhagavatas with different divya desa emperumans).  Have you ever questioned thondaradipodi azhvar why he sung only about thiruarangam? Kulasekara perumal says, "kondAnai allA ariyA kulamagal pOl" (adiyen was fortunate to chant perumal thirumozhi today, the day in which our dear chakravarthi thirumagan would have undergone jhestAbhishEkam along with his family "bharadhanum tambi chatrukkananum elakkumanOdu maidhiliyum" in thiruvallikeni).  So a wife prefers to hear the praise of her husband and her husband's place even though she knows that there are other places that exists equal to or even greater than that place. 
 
You may question if only Thiruvallikeni is emperuman's divya stAnam? "porul allAdha ennai porulAki adimai konda" edam aduvE andrO? Emperuman blessed adiyen with a birth over there and made adiyen enjoy all his divya darisanams and of all things though our acharyan's place is vanamamalai it was parthasarathi's wish to celebrate adiyen's samasrayanam only under his divine feet in thiruvallikeni. To add more after a few years of separation parthasarathi has decided finally to get adiyongal back to thiruvallikeni.  We pray to all bhagavatas to bless us with all your mangalasasanams for us to shift our residence to thiruvallikeni for ever.  So how much ever times adiyen utters the name "Thiruvallikeni" it remains "appodaikku appOdu ArA amudhu" in adiyen's mouth.  For whatever thiruvallikeni and parthasarathi has given adiyen "talaiallAl kaimArilEnE"
 
Note: Take the case of a prime minister. In his office he will be amidst tight security even his wife has to get  permission from the security persons to meet him but while at home he may be close and affectionate with his family members without any pressure taking atmost care of them with love.  Which will the wife prefer her husband with so many people always around him and he being always busy or he peacefully enjoying with her and the other family members? According to adiyen thiruvallikeni is like the home of emperuman where he enjoys along with all his family members (his bhakthas) and other divya desams are his offices (he is a big business magnet with number of offices to capture maximum profit-jeevatmas)
 
All mistakes due to adiyen's ignorance  may  please be pardoned.

Madam SumithrA varadharAjan,
 
I remember the thiru-voi-mozhip pAsuram in this regard:
PrAsankikam
madi-mAngAi idudhal
"eNNilum varum, ennini vENduvam" = thiru-voi-mozhi 1-10-2; Even if we think of some numbers incidentally and if it confirms to his thathvam, He emerges.If we are listing out something else in which the word 'Eswaran' comes, He will come. When we  are counting something else and in the count if something is related to Him,He shows Himeself, even if we do not mean Him. What else do you want?
 
The next sixth pAsruam again says "oR eNthAnum inRiyEA,vandhiyalumARu,vuNdAnai, vualgEazhum mUvadi koNdAnai kaNdu koNdanai, nEyumEa" thiru voi mozhi " 1-10-6;
Does He need counting as a pre-requisite? NO.Why think of Him?.Whenever the need arises He rescues us suo-moto-out of his volition-voluntarily, wihtout our calling Him or thinking of Him. is it so? Is there any example.
Yes, when the crisis from prALayam arose, He swallowed us into safety and safeguarded us.He blessed us with His divine feet when He measured the three worlds. Is it not so?
 
Tailpiece: Why thiruvallikkEANI? Why not thirukkuRungudi? even for 'say' purpose.
