Sriman Padmanabhan,                                                                                                   

Dear Devotees

The ecstasies of watching the photos of Kanchi-Lokaaryan utsavam far transcend verbal description.    And, to be able to feast one's eyes by gazing (in such high-resolution photographs) at Lord YathOkta-kAri (the surpassing Lord who made Kanchi what it is!) and Lord VELukkai-ALari ("SruteenAm uttaram bhAgam, vEgavatyA-S-cha dakshiNam, kAmAt adhi-vasan jeeyAt kaSchit adbhuta-kEsaree") and the blessed trio of Poykai, lOkAryan, and MAmunikaL !    This is indeed transporting !     The golden days of Kanchi Prativadi-bhayankaram Anna-svami seem to have returned !   And, the 'goshthi', of aruLi-c-cheyal and of vEdam, salute the soil of Kanchi, salute the numerous blessed folk who organised this !  "vAzhi ena varum tiraLai vAzhttuvAr tam, malar aDi  em  Sennikku malarnnda  pUvE !"        God bless you all who made this possible !

Is it possible to give me photos of each of you who made such precious photo-recording of this 'utsavam'?                I need to know them better than by their names alone !    For, how do you identify a particular Varadan in Kanchi, or a Parthasarathi in Tiruvalli-k-kENi, a Rangarajan in Srirangam ?

God bless you all !

aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan,

tirumanjanam Sundara Rajan.

12. PillailOkachAryA at thiruvallikkeni (old picture)

It was a grand and great event at KAnchipuram. It was morning 8.30 Am
and with great splendour and pomp Sri Poizhgai Azhwar with Sri PiLLai
LOkAchAryAr to his right and Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL to his left
entered the VishNu kAnchi. The SrEvaishNavites in and around the town
and those who thronged to participate caught this fervour, no sooner
they entered this divine dhEsam.

Then followed Sri yAthOthakAri perumAL alongwith Sri VEaLukkai AL-ari
azhasingar.

The three thOlukkiniyAn were typical in the sense that the kAnchi
kuDai shone out separately in an outstanding fashion.

The striking similarity between YathOthakAri perumAL and thEApperumAL
is also a point to note.

The ghOshti at the commencement spread to a long long line with four
rows. Indeed great and the camera required three series shots to
complete this large divine gathreing of devotees and when the soun of
'pallANdu pallANdu' rent the air, aruLichEyal indeed come to stay for
ever.

YathokthakAri; Poizhgai AzhwAr for kanchi being his avathAra sthalam
took part in the divine procession of PiLLai LokAcharyAr
Thriunakshathiram day. One may question, how come Peirya jEyar
participated? Those devout srEvaishNavites to our AchAryAs  will
definitely say 'How can one miss the AchAryan?" Perhaps true.

The fact however remains that it was Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL who made
the works of Sri PiLLai lOkAchAryar known and clear to one and all by
his wondeful vyAkyAnam-s.
That is why we say '.sEr vulagAriyar seidharuL naR kalai thEASu
polindhidu nAL'

The ghOsthi after rendering 'mudhal thriuvandhadhi continued with
'upadhEsa RathinamAlai' and after compeltion of 4 vEdhi-s around pEAr
aruLALan sannidhi, culminated at The fron to Sri PrathivAthi
bhayankaram aNNA sannidhi where these two EmperumAn-s blessed
PoizhgaiAr, PiLLai lOkAchAryar and Sri MaNavALa mAmunigaL after the
mangaLA sAsanam in the ThriunAngUr style. Yes, the pAsuram 'aippasi
vONam' and 'mAthuLLa AzhwArgaL' piereced the air with great aura.

This was followed by the six pAsuram-s dedicated to Sri PiLLai
LOkAchAryAr by Sri MaNavALa MAmunikAL in the upadhESa RathinamAlai.

By the time it was around 11.30 Am and when the grand sAthumuRai in
the unique kAnchipuram style - commencing with high pitch, continuing
with it and escalating further more - culminated in a grand fashion.
After Thertha prasAdham- ThadhEyArAdhanai was also performed in a good
manner.
