Azhvar Thirunagari - Emberumanar Sannidhi Appeal
http://www.vedics.net/appeals/azhvartn/

Dear Devotees: Please accept our Humble Pranam.

Part 4-Last post

The bhavishyad achArya vigraham was again brought back
to worship during the time of thiruvaymozhipiLLai. He
built ?rAmAnuja chathurvEdi mangalam? (the next street
to azhwar shrine) and built a separate shrine for
emperumanar, and installed bhavishyad achArya vigraham
there. During that time in thirumalai, lord commanded
the then jIyar to move to azhwar thirunagari and stay
there for the kainkaryam of emperumAnAR. He is known
as thiruvAymozhi rAmAnuja jIyar, who was the first
jIyar of the emperumAnAr maTham in azhwar thirunagari.
The present pontiff is the 39th successor. SwAmi
maNavALamAmunikaL was given Asrama swIkAram from the
7th pattam saThagOpa rAmAnuja jIyar of the same
maTham. Besides emperumAnAr sannidhi, swAmi
thiruvAymozhipiLLAi also built separate shrines for
all other achAryas, thirukkachi nambikal, uyyakkondAr,
nampiLLai, piLLailOkAchAryar, vEdAntha dESikan, periya
nambikaL to name a few. After manavALamAmunikaLs time,
a separate sannidhi for mamunikaL was also built. 

The AzhwAr temple and the emperumAnAr sannidhi are
well connected and has a lot of importance in our
sampradAyam. Annually AzhwAr, and bhavishyad AchAryan
meet together approximately 17 times for uthsavam?s
and purapAAdu (procession). Many of these uthsavams
have very many special procedures which one can see
only in azhwAr thirunagari. 

In the mArgazhi pakal patthu irApathtu uthsavam, an
invitation letter (lagna pathrikai) is sent from
AzhwAr sannidhi to emperumAnAr sannidhi, inviting him
to attend the thiruppallandu uthsavam. During all
these period where ever azhwar goes in procession
emperumAnAr follows him. One of the striking event is
the 8th uthsavam of pakal paththu, for ?kaNaiyAzhi
thEduthal? when nammAzhwAr goes in procession with his
hamsa vAhanam, bhavishyadAchAryan follows him in a
palanquin.  

Most importantly the 10th day of pakal pathu, that is
the eve of vaikuNda EkAdaSi, nammAzhwAr is given a
sayanathirukkOlam, with his divine thiruvadis placing
on emperumAnArs laps. emperumAnAr is decorated with
nAchiyAr thirukkOlam, and both together give darSan in
nAyakA-nAyaki bhAvam. 

During the 7th day of mASi uthsavam , 7th day of
vaikASi uthsavam and for margazhi thiruvAthirai,
special thirumanjanam is performed for AzhwAr and
emperumAnAr, in EkasimhAsanam. 

adiyEn has listed only a few of the many uthsavas
which are conducted with great devotion in AzhwAr
thirunagari. Both AzhwAr temple and bhavishyad
AchAryan sannidhi are of very much importance to the
SrIvaishNava sampradAyam. We should not forget the
pains taken by swAmi thiruvAymozhi piLLai to protect
and keep the both divyamangaLa vigrahams. The present
temple for emperumAnAr sannidhi was built
approximately 700 years back and since last 100 years
it is not at all undergoing any maintenance. As the
children of emperumAnAr, it?s our duty to keep these
sannidhis in the proper condition. Even though there
were lot of lands, and rice fields for the sannidhi as
an assent, eventually due to political conditions all
are lost. The approximate annual income is around
15000 INR, which is not even enough for a months
expenditure. The nithyappadi expenditure is also in a
very difficult condition. 

Most important part is that the vimanam is falling
apart without maintenances and it is afraid that even
if it rains harshly for couple of days every thing
will fall down (quoting the engineers report). 
emperumAnAr sannidhi was given to us as paithruka
dhanam. So adiyEn feels it is our duty for take care
of our wealth. 

adiyEn requests all bhagavathAs to kindly go through
this link,
 Where the present situation of the temple is
described. Along with the support plans made according
to expert advice.
