SrI:
 
Dear SishyAs and AbhimAnis of SrI Matam :
 
It is my pleasure to let you all know that
Srimath Azhagiya Singar's Health is improving
slowly . He is able to attend to His Aasramam
responsibilities . The KaimkaryaparALs and the Doctors
are taking very good care .
 
After Srimath Azhagiya Singar's trip to Thirumala
for the Annamayyaa Vardhanthi celebrations and
MangaLAsAsanam of Malayappa Swamy , Srimath
Azhagiya Singar returned to SelayUr safely .
 
Saint AnnamAchArya and the Founding Jeeyar of Sri Matam
 
Sri AnnamAchArya was a key and early disciple of Sri Adhi VaNN
SaThakOpa Jeeyar at Thirumala . Sri AnnamAchArya
stayed for many years with Sri Adhi VaNN SathakOpa
Jeeyar and performed AchArya Kaimkaryams , while
attending to Ubhaya VedAntha KaalakshEpams there .
Annamayya learnt about the esoteric doctrines of
VisishtAdhvaitham and SaraNAgathy from the Great
Jeeyar , who had recieved  SanyAsAsramam from
the Lord of Ahobilam Himself . Steeped in AchArya 
and Bahgavath Bhakthi , Annamayya offered atleast 
one song per day at the Sannidhi of Sri VenkatEsa .
He composed keerthanams on the Lord of Thirumala ,
Ahobilam , AchArya RaamAnuja and Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa
Jeeyar in addition to many sankeerthanams on AlamelumangA
ThAyAr , who nourished him with Bhagavath PrasAdham ,
when he had fained by the roadside during his climb
to Thirumala,
 
In one of the Sankeerthanams about his AchAryan ,
Annamayya says (Translation :Ambika Ananth &
Advitheeya Dixit ):
 
Behold ! He is easily approachable by all !
    Hari is the constant companion of this Sage
  He is the golden pathway to the final destination
      He is the sole personification of Purity .
 
                   To Viraja , He is the Boat
   He is the brilliant lamp that provides effulgernce to the World .
        He is the raft to cross the ocean of SamsAra .
 
   The Lord of Srirangam , Lord Varada of Kaanchi
      Lord Narasimha of Ahobilam--these being His supreme goal
                 Here He is , Sri SaThakOpa Muni ! "  
 
To celebrate this specail AchArya-Sishya Sambhandham , the SishyA's
Prapatthi at the sacred feet of Malolan with the intercession of
Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar and the divine interaction between
these two great MahAthmAs and the simultaneous presence
of both at Thirumala to serve the Lord , the annual Vardhanthi
celebrations have been conducted in presence of the Azhagiya Singars .
Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar took part in this year's vardhanthi
as is the custom at Thirumala and Sri Matam . 
 
2. AarAdhanam with 1,000 Lotus Flowers :
 
Today  , Sriamth Azhagiya Singar is taking part in
a special AarAdhanam  for SelayUr Sri Malola 
Lakshmi Narasimhan Sannidhi WITH TOUSAND 
LOTUS FLOWERS . 
 
Among all the flowers used in Archanaa for 
the Lord , Kanaka (Golden) and Lotus flowers 
head the list of the most sacred flowers
according to  Aagama Saasthrams .
 
Even the thought of assembling 1,000 red lotuses and 
using them in the worship of the Lord is a superhuman 
task . That was accomplished by Srimath Azhagiya Singar
today at SelayUr .
 
You might recall that this Sannidhi was created by
Srimath Azhagiya Singar few years ago to serve as
a focal point for BhakthAs to assemble for worship ,
when He is away on SanchAram . The PrathishtA
Dina uthsavam for three days was completed on Feb 9
with Sri Nrusimha Sudarsana Japa Homam and Sri
PaadhukA Sahasra PaarAyaNam by SelayUr ANDAL
Ghoshti .
 
The Moola Moorthy at this Sannidhi is as large as
the MalOlan in Ahobilam and gives us His benovolent
darsanam with a five headed Aadhi Seshan and
Garudan at His foot step . This Malolan also adorns
His PaadhukA .
 
3. The deep desire for a New Kaimkaryam in 2007
 
It is the hope and prayer of many Ahobila Matam
SishyAs and abhimAnis that a Lotus pond be constructed
in Ahobila KshEthram to grow Lotus flowers for use in
the nithyArAdhanam for PrahlAdha Varadhan 
at Lower Ahobilam . 
 
It is also their hope that a Nanda Vanam be also
constructed there for growing TuLasi and Flowers for
NithyArAdhanam . Srimath Azhagiya Singar has blessed
this proposal and hopefully we all can start
the construction activities later this year
after the ChAthurmAsyam . This is just advanced
information for all who wish to participate .
Those interested are requested to contact adiyEn .
