Dear Swamins/Devotees/Bhakthas
  
                           Most auspicious day!  Memorable day! Yes, indeed, it 
is on 30th  may------not only 30th, but also 31st and 1st june of this year!
                          Sri Hayagreevan , the first avathara of Sriman 
Narayana,  at Oushathagiri, Thiruvaheendrapuram gave anugraha to sevarthis , by 
 having " Thirumanjanam" It started at about 10-15 in the morning and  went on 
till 12-30 in the after-noon.Milk, curd, honey, tender  co-conut, chandan, 
turmeric fruits of all varieties poured abundantly  amidst vedaghoshams, 
prabhandhams, and recital of nadaswaram.Devotees  from far and near came and 
worshipped Sri Hayagreevan during this "  Thirumanjanam" ( abhishekam). Sri 
U.Ve. Neelamega Battachariar, and Sri  U.Ve. Narasimha Battachariar conducted 
this Thirumanjanam in a large  scale duly assisted by other Battachariars like 
Sri Srinivasan etc.
                     At  the time of "alankaram" ( sathuppadi) to Moolavars and 
Uthsava moorthi,  after "Thirumanjanam", Smt Padma Ramanujam rendered songs on 
Sri  Hayagreeva from Sri Hayagreeva Stotram, followed by  Kumari  Supritha& 
Kumar Sravan Prakash( both sister & brother) and then  by a group of 
singers(ladies) from K.K.Nagar, Ashok Nagar ( Chennai)  lead by Smt 
Vaijayanthi. Hundreds and hundreds of devotees enjoyed the  songs and the bhava 
of singing as this was new to them.
                   At about one  o'clock , everybody had dharshan of all 
Moolava moorthis ( decorated  with new vasthras, garlands, scented flowers) and 
Uthsavar Sri  Hayagreevan. It was so wonderful and those worshipped at this  
time  never forgot the sevai. Among those worshipped were from  Australia also 
and also highly placed bhaktha from "The Hindu" with  family
                  Distribution of all fruits ( Thirumanjana fruits)was done to 
all  sevarthis. Afterwards , prasadams of Sugar pongal, Kadhamba rice curd  
rice and sundal were distributed  abundantly to all in betal-nut  plate and 
dhonnai. Sevarthis came in large numbers till about 9 p.m in  the night hearing 
the excellent alankaram and sevai of Sri Hayagreevan
  
               The next day (31-5-06)  the Mahamandapa prathishtabhana uthsav 
was commenced at about 6 o'clock  in the evening. Eminent vidwan of Vaikanasa 
aghama from Pulavanur came  and performed the  prathishtabhanam and homam, in 
the Mahamandap  in the presence of Sri Hayagreevan. Sri U.Ve. Narasimha 
Battachariar  ably assisted  in this homam etc . This homam lasted two hours.  
After neivedyam of "rava kesari", this was distributed to all sevarthis
  
             On 1st june, the dedication  function was started at about 10-15 
in the fore-noon in the presence of  large number of sevarthis. It was thursday 
and also  marriage day.  More or less 80 marriages were performed on this day 
alone and hence  there were large number of devotees .  After "Thiruvaradhanam 
" to  Sri Hahyagreevan, Sri U.Ve. Neelamega Battachariar( Parambarai Miras)  
Sri U.Ve. Narasimha Battachariar came to the Mahamandap. Sri U.Ve. C.R.  
Ravichandran I.R.S. chief Commissioner of  Income-tax ( Chief  guest) was 
present, besides innumerable bhakthas from various places  including 
Chennai.After prayer by Smt. Padma Ramanujam,     Sri U.Ve. Thiruvaheendrapuram 
Uruppattur Chakravarthi Soundararaja  Iyengar Swamy welcomed the Chief guest 
and other dignatories and  explained about the Mahamandap, contribution  by 
bakthas from  various walks of life especially from U.S.( Sri U.Ve. Sadagopan 
Swamy,  Sriman Rajaji  and other Mahanubhavas ) and from other Indian
  States. He requested the Chief guest to unveil the plaque ( not a  plaque , 
but a granite one with 2' 6'' in width and 5' in length duly  engraving the 
names of Mahanubhavas as directed by the contributors of  Rs 50,000/-) The 
Chief-guest unveiled the  granite stone and gave  lecture, duly noting his 
younger days visit to this Sannathi along with  his father. Sri U. Ve.Neelamega 
Battachariar performed karpoora harathi  to this stone, saying that Thiruman 
Chakra , Hanuman etc were engraved  which require harathi ( Excellently 
engraved). The Managing trustee Sri  U.Ve. Soundararaja Iyengar Swamy explained 
to the Chief guest and  others , the back-ground of each and every donor.
  
                   After that, the  function of publication on sovenier 
commenced. As the expected  important dignotory was not able to attend 
puncually, and as there were  hundreds and hundreds of sevarthis pressed for 
entering into Mahamandap  to have a look, and some 4 to 5 parents were ready to 
iniate the "  Aksharabhyasam " to their wards in the Mahamandap itself in the  
presence of Sri Hayagreevan, the Chief guest was requested to publish  the 
sovenier. He was kind enough to do this by giving first copy to Sri  U.Ve 
Neelamega Battachariar( Sri Hayagreeva Upasagar) and second copy  to Sri U.Ve. 
Narasimha Battachariar who is also Hayagreeva Upasagar.  The Managing trustee 
Sri U.Ve .  Soundararaja Iyengar Swamy  explained the special features 
available in the sovenier  the  stotras ,
 photos of Sri Hayagreevan from  various khsetras etc  etc but apologised not 
to distribute the sovenier because the full view  of Mahamandap is not ready( 
sudhai work such as fixing Thiruman   Changam Chakram, Hanuman, Garudan and 
Garudan on both ends of  Mahamandap is yet to be completed) and then only the 
picture has to be  printed in the front page of the Sovenier. . Sriman 
Chakrapani who is  supervising the works promised to complete the works before 
the end of  this month The dedication function ended with religious ferver and  
immediately "Akshabyasam" was commenced by the parents in the  Mahamandap as 
all schools reopened on that day.
                  On all the three days " annadhanam" prasada viniyokam was 
done to  hundreds and hundreds of devotees and it continued even on 2nd
                 Sri U.Ve. Narasimha Battachariar took keen special and 
effective  interest in each and every item of events commencing from Inviting  
dignitories, performing Thirumanjanam , spervising the preparation of  various 
items of neivedyam ( Sugar pongal etc) proper distribution to  all sevarthis, 
excellent alankaram ( sathupadi) etc. Srikainkarya is  ever grateful to him.
