adiyEn's dandavath praNAmams to you all during this festival filled season and wish you and your families splendid celebrations of the above festivals !
May I take this opportunity during this splendid season to extend an
invitation/appeal to you and your family to take part in a magnificent , new
Kaimkaryam of SamarpaNam of RATHNAANGI for SrI DevanAtha PerumAL
(Uthsavar of ThiruvahIndhrapuram) .
Lord DevanAthan's beauty and the anantha kalyANa guNams have been celebrated by Swamy Desikan and Thirumangai AzhwAr . The beautiful picture of Uthsavar DevanAthan can be enjoyed here and You can have His sevai with SrI HemAbhjavalli ThAyAr on Dolai (Raaja Sevai) . The archakaas of ThiruvahIndhrapuram are known for their alankAra Kaimkaryam for the dhivya dampathis and their deep devotion to Swamy Desikan , who spent close to 40 long years of His eventful life at ThiruvahIndhrapuram . Swamy Desikan composed nine SrI Sookthis about Lord DevanAthan at ThiruvahIndhrapuram at the command of Lord DevanAthan .They are: 1) SrI DevanAyaka PanchAsath (Sanskrit) 2) SrI Achyutha sathakam (Praakrutham) 3) MummaNikkOvai (Tamil) 4) Nava MaNi Maalai (Tamil) 5) Panthu ( Tamil)--Not Available Anymore(NAA) 6) Kazhal (Tamil)--NAA 7) AmmAnai (Tamil)--NAA 8) Oosal(Tamil)--NAA 9) yEsal (Tamil)--NAA SrI Raghuveera Gadhyam and SrI Gopala Vimsathi have been created here by our Great AchAryan , Swamy Desikan . Here were born the SrI sookthis of SrI HayagrIva SthOthram , SrI Garuda Panchasath . The great Rahasya grantham in MaNipravALam , Paramatha Bhangam , was created here on the Fifth day of one Thai Maasam in front of Lord DeavanAthan on the banks of PeNNai river. This grantham , is a summary of an important debate between Swamy Desikan and folowers of other Mathams. Swamy Desikan defeated soundly the prathivAdhis from other systems of philosophy and established the greatness of VisishtAdhvaitham as elaborated by Bhagavad RaamAnuja , who had followed the foot steps of His PoorvAchAryALs. The many sided genius of this Swamy Desikan has blessed BhakthAs for the past 700 plus years and the 120 plus powerful SrI sookthis of this AchAryan --SthOthrams , PrakaraNa granthams , Rahasyams , Kaavyams , Naatakam , VyAkhyAnams , Vaadha granthams , RakshA granthams and anushtAna granthams--serve us as beacon lights to enthuse and encourage us to perform Bhagavath-BhAgavatha-AchArya Kaimkaryams daily. One such humble Kaimkaryam that is being emphasized today is the plan for the samarpaNam of RathnAngi for Lord DeavanAthan , who is very dear to Swamy Desikan. His son , Swamy NainAcchAr performed Prathishtai for the archA vigraham of Swamy Desikan --sculpted by Swamy Desikan Himself-- next to Lord DevanAthan so that Swamy Desikan can continue His nithyArAdhanam to the dhivys dampathis ThriuvahIndhrapuram even today . Swamy Desikan's ThirumALikai and the well constructed well there with His own hands are still there at this dhivya desam. Let us be blessed by our AchAryans and their paramparais to engage in this once-in-a-life time Kaimakryam to present Lord DevanAthan with the most beautiful Rathnangi that would delight the heart of Swamy Desikan/Venkata Naayaki and SrI HemAbhja Valli ThAyAr . Let us make our sankalpam today (SvabhAnu samvathsara Sukla Paksha Dasami, UtthirAdam day, when Revathi star is in ascendance ) to participate in this RathnAngi Kaimkaryam .The details of this kaimkaryam , the project status and the way to particpate in this kaimkaryam are provided under seaprate headings.
