HH Sri Vanamamalai Yogi ramanuja Jeeyer 1874-1883 (Twenty-Second pattam)



Swami's kainkaryams contd.,



Swamy submitted a big beautiful golden peedam (seat) to swamy manavAla 
mAmunikal. Further swamy submitted a beautiful yagjOpaveetham and tritandam 
studded with precious gems to mAmunikal. Then swamy submitted a beautiful 
thOlukkiniyAn decorated with the carvings of the astadiggajas and a beautifully 
decorated peedam for onnAna vanamamalai ponnadikkAl rAmAnuja Jeeyer. Then swamy 
submitted a costly gem studded crown, gorgeous makarakandikai and a precious 
mukthAhAram for Periya Vanamamalai Jeeyer. 



Earlier the aranganagarappan sannadhi in the mutt was facing west. Earlier the 
mandapam facing the west was dark and hence swamy renovated the same by 
connecting the mandapam with the marriage hall that was constructed by periya 
rangappa swamy and then made the sannadhi entrance to face the southern 
direction. In this way swamy constructed a big beautifully decorated hall and 
in the kollam year, 1055th vikrama samvatsaram, mEsha month, sukra vAsaram, 
sukla paksha sapthamee thithi subhamuhurtham swamy consecrated 
aranganagarappan. On the same day, sirivaramangai and deivanAyakan graced the 
divine hall along with aranganagarappan on a single seat (EkAsanam) and happily 
accepted the offerings and blessed all the devotees with the prasadam.



Swamy submitted a beautiful jadainAgam (a beautiful jewel to decorate the hair) 
to sirivaramangai nAchiyar. Then swamy renovated the azhagiya varadan stAnam 
already made out of wood with strong stones and to the east built a mandapam 
held by strong statues and with steps and in chitrabanu samvatsara simha mAsam 
subhamuhurtham entered that mandapam meditating on the guru paramparai. Further 
swamy built a bath place, library (kOsha gruham) and a place for kalashepam 
(ramanuja vilas).



Swamy did sutAlEpanam (a special type of coating, made of natural materials 
given to the walls) to whole of deivanAyakan sannadhi and maintained the 
sanctity of the place. Swamy then extended the azhagiya manavAlan mandapam.



Swamy did a golden jewel adorning the neck of swamy manavAla mAmunikal 
(kandabhooshanam) and a gem studded anjali and golden kavacham to Periya Jeeyer.



Swamy constructed a compound wall at the back and side of the mutt and made a 
safety protection to the mutt.



For swamy and those who follow him in the peedam, to be seated during 
kalashepams two seats one of gold and one of silver were made.



A beautiful golden thirumanjana vEdhikai (seated on which the divine bath is 
done) to nammazhvar in thirunagari was submitted by swamy and swamy also 
contributed a lot of wealth for making the makarakandikai to Azhvar.



For thirumangai azhvar in thiruvali thirunagari swamy made a beautiful golden 
bharmAsanam.



Swamy submitted a beautiful golden palanquin for Parthasarathi emperuman in 
thiruvallikeni.



In kanchipuram, swamy helped a lot through contributions for the darshana 
sthApanam (establishing the philosophy) along the footsteps of mAmunikal.



In thirunelvEli, Swamy consecrated the kariyamAnikka perumal sannadhi.



Swamy reconstructed the depleted walls in nAthan koil and did the 
jeernOdhAranam.



Swamy increased the income to the mutt and also purchased a village called 
manjakulam to the west of vanamamalai that was filled with fertile lands that 
yielded lot of grains and did kshetra abhivriththi.



Swamy established a mutt in brindavanam.



In vanamamalai, swamy celebrated the manavala mAmunikal thirumoola utsavam 
started by his acharya madurakavi swami all the ten days in a very grand manner.



Along with such great kainkaryams swamy continued to bless his disciples with 
ubhaya vedanta kalashepams and also with dhadheeyArAdhanams. In this way swamy 
remained in peedam for 9 years and then as his health deteriorated swamy 
appointed saTakOpa Jeeyer as the next Jeeyer and meditating on his acharya guru 
paramparai attained the divine abode of emperuman.
