> Around 50 of us along with Dr.U.Ve.M.V. Anantha Padmanabhachariar
> swamy(Nrisimha Priya) went to Kanchipuram for *AnushtAna kulam
> Uthsavam. We started at around 10 am from chennai. On travel, we had
> the privilege of having a quiz by Parthasarathy mama. It was a very
> interesting experience to answer in person directly to him than
> answering his online quiz, as we cannot do any search or refer any
> books then. And Anantha padmanabhachar Swamy also joined us in the
> event. It was a great opportunity to learn many sampradAya vishyam
> from them. By the time we ended the quiz we reached Kanchi at about
> 12. Though we could not reach there on time for thirumanjanam, which
> took place in sAla kinar mandapam, we had the pleasure of walking
> along with Emperuman and Emperumanar from sAla kinar to Thoopul
> Swami Desikan sannidhi.
>
> It was a wonderful sight in Thoopul with Perumal in the centre and
> our two acharyas on either side of Him. There were many special
> neivEdhyams for the threesome. After the neivEdhyam, BhashyaKArar
> and swami Desikan were honoured by parivattam and garland and
> srisatAri of Emperuman. Here we learnt an interesting vishayam from
> Anantha Padmanabhachar swamy. BhashyaKArar was honoured with
> SrisatAri with three mudras, whereas Swami Desikan was honoured
> with 5 mudras.
>
> After parivattam and mAlai mariyAdhai, there was gOshti viniyogam.
> Then, Perumal along with Emperumanar started to His temple and
> Swami Desikan went out to send off his Acharyan and Perumal.
>
>>From there they both went on procession to BhashyaKArar's
> thirumAligai. The Adhyayana Goshti joined Perumal from Thirukacchi
> Nambigal's sannidhi. They reached BhashyaKArar's thirumAligai and
> here too a special neivEedhyam was done for Lord Varadar and
> Bhashyagarar. After goshti viniyogam, they started for the temple.
> By the time they reached the temple, we all went to Perundevi
> thayar's and ChakrathAzhwar's sannidhi. A while later Perumal
> reached the temple and in Andal sannidhi we had a scintillating
> vision of mAlai mAththal(exchange of garland) between Andal and
> Perumal. It was time for Perumal and BhashyaKArar to part with each
> other. Near Perumal sannidhi, BhashyaKArar was honoured with
> parivattam, mAlai mariyadai and srisatAri. Perumal, after giving
> piriyA vidai for his beloved Ramanuja, went to his sannidhi and
> Swamy Ramanujar too having spent the whole day with Perumal left to
> his sannidhi. In Swamy Ramanujar's sannidhi, he was in the centre
> with Azhwars on one side and Acharyas on other side. It was a treat
> to our eyes. Swamy Ramanujar mulavar gives us his blessings with his
> gyana mudhra, whereas in other temples he is usually seen with
> anjali mudra. Swamy Anantha padmanabhachar in his Ramanuja pAavai
> upanyasam gave us an interesting explanation about Swamy Ramanujar's
> gyana mudra. The gyana mudra he poses is such that he plucks the
> darkness and sins from our hearts. Everyone, if you get a chance,
> should visit Swamy's Sannidhi to have the blessing of all the
> Azhwars and acharyas together. We all with heavy hearts, gave piriyA
> vidai to them and started to chennai.

> Also I would like to share a write up by Anantha Padmanabhachar
> Swamy out of his imagination, few years back about the anushtAnakula
> utsavam. It's about the conversation between Lord Varadar, Swamy
> Ramanuja and Swamy Desikan and is given the title Simhangalin
> Sallabham.Don't miss it. please read it from the file section of the

> * Anushtanakula Utsavam, every year is celebrated on the day next to
> eyarba sAthumurai day. This uthsavam represents a very important day
> in Swami Ramanujar's life. Swami Ramanujar in his pOvAshrama was
> under the tutelage of his Acharyan Yadavaprakasar. YP was jealous of
> Swamy's profound knowledge and decided to kill Swamy. Hence he took
> few of his sishyas along with Ramanujar for a pilgrimage tour to
> North India. Swamy's brother Govindha Bhattar, who came to know
> about their guru's plan, informed Swamy about it and told him to
> leave their group immediately. Ramanuja, who was at his young age,
> didn't know how to go or where to go. He started to walk for a while
> and since it was dark he was scared. He called out but only his echo
> answered him. Suddenly a while later a couple appeared before him
> and asked him why he was alone in the forest. He told them that he
> was lost and couldn't find his way back to his village, but never
> told them about what actually happened. The hunting couples took
> swamy and the threesome walked through the forest. When dawn broke,
> the lady hunter was tired and asked Ramanuja to bring her some
> water. He had a small vessel with him for performing anushtAnams, he
> took it and found a small well nearby. He brought water for her but
> found them missing. He called for them, but they did not come back.
> Ramanuja was upset and resumed his journey to find out where he has
> come. When the sun rose brightly, he could see the temple vimanam
> and learnt that that was his own village, Kanchipuram.
> When swamy wanted to do kainkaryam for perumal and piratti, he asked
> Thirukacchi Nambigal to ask them(perumal and piratti) for a
> kainkaryam. It was then Piratti asked Ramanujar to bring water from
> salai kinaru everyday for her. On hearing this kainkaryam Ramanuja
> realised that the hunter couples were none other than Perumal and
> Piratti and he was overcome with emotion to learn Lord's souseelyam
> and soulabhyam, to have come for his rescue. So, anushtAnakula
> uthsavam is the day when Swamy Ramanuja escaped the jaws of death
> which was set by Yadhavaprakasar and was rescued by the veduva
> thampathi(Lord Varadar and Piratti).
> So, on this occasion, let us pray the Divya Thampathis to rescue us
> from the clutches of samsAra and mAyA.
