Sri:
Sri RanganAthO Jayathi ! Dear SevakAs of the Sacred feet of Sri Ranganathan
of Sri Ranga Dhivya Desam :
The images relating to the two Kaimkaryams
at Srirangam and the background material
are enclosed :
(1) KulasEkhara Padi at Sri
RanganAthan's Garbha Gruham
********************************************************************
The first of these Kaimkaryams is the replacement
of
the KulasEkhara AzhwAr Padi in front of the Garbha
Gruham
under the PraNavAkAra VimAnam . Over hundreds of
Years ,
the Current KulasEkara Padi got worn out and shows
serious
damage ( Portions missing and big cracks ) . This
is the Padi
from where KulasEkhara PerumAL wanted to enjoy
the dhivya
Soundharyam of Sri BhUlOka Vaikunta Naathan . This
is the step
over which Uthsavar Sri Ranganathan steps out on
His myriads
of Uthsavam year after year . This must be the step
overwhich
AchArya RaamAnuja and KurEsa crossed to be
closer to
Lord RanganathAn for their MangaLAsAsanams . This
must be
the step over which ANDAL and ThiruppANar
crossed over to
join the Param JyOthi , Moolavar Sri RanganathAr .
This sacred Padi is thus very important for us .
The Srirangam
DevasthAnam has given us permission to iniitate
this Kaimkaryam
as Arangan adiyArs .
You can see how damaged and worn out this Padi
looks today :

16 Pillar Mandapam Today :

Sri Ranganatha Daasan , V. Sadagopan
