HH Sri Vanamamalai madurakavi ramanuja Jeeyer 1867-1874 (Twenty-first pattam)

 

Swamy?s kainkaryams (contd.)

 

Then swamy as per the anushtanams (practices) of his poorvAcharyas took care of 
the divine services in the deivanAyakan, Srivaramangai nAchaiyar sannadhis and 
also took deep interest in the nithya dhadheeyArAdhanam and kalashepams at the 
mutt. Swamy showed deep involvement in shisya abhivriththi and 
danadhAnyAbhivriththi and remained with great vairAkhyam taking care of the 
dharshanam with deep jnanAnushtAnams.

 

At that time swamy did a beautiful golden tholikkiniyan (in which 
emperumancomes round in purappadu) with beautiful vAhana daNdams (vArai) to 
deivanAyakan swamy. This tholikkiniyan was decorated with the divine images of 
satakOpa ramanuja jeeyer swamy, pattarbiran swamy, and kaliyan swamy on all the 
sides. Further swamy renovated the mutt in azhvar thirunagari that was in a bad 
state. Then swamy renovated the thirumana thoongal in Srirangam. This 
kainkaryam was initially done by thiruvenkata ramanuja swamy and due to time 
the gold got depleted and hence with great effort swamy renovated the same with 
beautiful gold at a high cost.

 

Further, swamy wanted to do divya desa yathra and hence he started his yathra 
from srivilliputtur. There swamy did mangalasasanams to gOdhA nAchiyar and then 
honoured by all the srivaishnavas and prabhus on the way in a grand manner 
swamy reached chambakAranyam. There swamy was blessed with mannar?s honours. 
Swamy stayed in mannargudi for the grand 18-day brahmotsavam(panguni utsavam) 
and did mangalasasanams to mannar. On the final day of the celebration (rohini 
thirunakshatram) rajamannar came round the divine streets on the divine 
chariot, which was submitted, to mannar by Vanamamalaithiruvenkata ramanuja 
jeeyer. After coming round the big streets with great enthusiasm in a single 
day mannar called ?nam Vanamamalai ramanuja jeeyar? and blessed swamy with 
theertham, thirumAlai, parivattam, satakOpan,abhaya hastham and prasadam. 
Further with great pleasure mannar called for his devotees and ordered, ?nam 
Vanamamalai jeeyarai nammudaiya sakalavirudhugaludan madaththilE vittu
vArungOl? (Go and leave our dear Vanamamalai jeeyer along with all the honours 
in the mutt and come). Following the orders, the devotees amidst the sound of 
divine instruments, chatra sAmara and other honours and praises took swamy to 
the mutt where swamy honoured the perumal ghosti with due regards and sent them 
back with happiness.

 

Then after the completion of the panguni utsavam swamy started from there and 
then visited the divya desams in chola desam and did mangalasasanams to the 
respective emperumans. In the middle, swamy visited ?nandhi paNi seidha nagar? 
nandhi pura viNNagaram and did mangalasasanams. Since this was the divya desam 
were swamy was in service earlier, due to abhimanam swamystayed there for some 
days and then proceeded towards the north. Swamy visited bhoodhapuri and did 
mangalasasanams to ?tikkuRRa keerthi rAmAnujan?. There swamy saw the hamsa 
vahanam earlier submitted to udayavar by pattarbiran swamy in a very bad state 
and hence renovated the same with gold.Then with the permission from 
EmperumAnAr swamy then visited all the thondai nAdu divya desams and then 
proceeded towards bhAkyapuram. There swamy stayed for some days due to the 
request of devoted disciples over there. Swamy was greatly honoured by the 
srivaishnavas and prabhus over there. Then on his way back swamy reached
the place in between the KrishnagOdAvaree Rivers. There the king of meedapuram, 
the famous gangAdhara rAmarAja welcomed swamy with great honours andfell to the 
divine feet of swamy and requested swamy for samAsrayanam. Swamy pleased with 
his request blessed him with thApAdhi panchasamskArams. The king submitted 
gold, precious gems, pattu peethAmbharamas and a village to the divine feet of 
swamy. Further he submitted a big elephant to honourswamy. Swamy accepted them 
with pleasure and then honoured by others on the way finally reached 
thirumalai. There swamy had eye filling divine darshan of ?seerAr 
thiruvEnkatamAmalai mEya ArAvamudhu? and then proceeded directly to aranganagar 
and did mangalasasanams to aranganagarappan. Swamygot involved with emperuman 
with deep emotions eyes filled with tears while emperuman pleased to see swamy 
welcomed swamy and honoured him greatly. Then swamy returned back to 
Vanamamalai.
