Darsanam, Thai – Sarvadhari 2009 of 15

The topic sounds like a fairy tale out of mystery series, but the story that I am

going to relate could have changed our samapradayam for ever with no hope of

attaining Moksha and for ever being born and being reborn in this samsara.

This is the story of Swami Ramanuja when he undertook a pilgrimage with his

Acharaya (Yadava Praksha) to the north (kashi). Yadava Prasha despite being the guru

for Swami Ramanuja became jealous of (Swami Ramanuja’s) His Apaaara knowledge

and wanted to get rid of Him. He hatched a plan to get Him killed in the thick forests

beyond the Vindhyas. But that Durbhudhi Yadava Prakasha made several mistakes: He

would not have known that Swami Ramanuja took

his Avataar not because of karma but because of

Deiva Sanklapam. Lord Varadan alone could decide

when Sri Ramanuja’s bootha avatar has finished

His task in this world. No one has the power to

take His life. Secondly he would not have known

that Swami Ramanuja was the avatar of Ilaya

perumaal and the timing of shedding of this

Boootha shareeram is decided by Swami Ramanuja

Himeslf. Thirdly he would not have known that just

like Hanumaan was there to bring the Sanajeeva

parvatham, Govinda Bhattar was there to protect

His Ilya perumaal. (The story is that Ramanuja was

tipped by Govinda Bhattar to leave Kashi in the

night and go back to Kanchi). Surely he would not

have known that Sri Raman and Seetha Piratti (as Lord Vardan and Perun Devi

Thayaar) were waiting for an opportunity to repay the “ debt” “rinna” in Sanskrit” (of

having spent those years in the forest with the Divya Thampthais) to guide Ilaya

Perumaal out of the danger. Of course He would not have known that Swami Ramanuja

had a task to fulfill namely to fetch Theertham for Perundevi Thayaar from Salaai

Kinaru. No one realizes that Devaraja perumaal who is known to His bhakthas as The

perumaal, is also referred by Swami Desikan as the dark rain bearing clouds bearing

laden with Karunai for jeevatmas like us. Swami Desikan in His Yathiraja Sapatati had

wondered if the Theertham offered by Swami Ramanuja to Lord Varadan was the

reason that the theertham became the dark cloud “Mugil” showering His Kataksham


everywhere. If this is the thiru Ullama of Swami Desikan can the Thiru Ullam of Lord

Varadan be different. Is this all a naatakam for our anubhavam and for us to melt in the

ecstasy of being in the higher plane? This is adeyen’s anubhavam and I am the lowest

of low in the pantheon of durandars of Swami Desikan’s bhaktas. My guru Desika

Ratnam Seva swami and Navaneethan Swami’s anubhavam would have been several

times more than myself, but they are now with Swami Desikan in Sri vaikuntam and

cannot share their anubhavams with us.

The Theertam offered by Swami Ramanuja to Perundevi Thayaar and Lord

Varadan who disguised themselves a hunter and his wife to lead Swami from the forest

to kanchi a distance of several

hundred kms in just a few hours

is enacted each year at Kanchi in

Thai maasam. The festival is

known as Salai Kinaru Utsavam

and is to take place this year on

18 Jan 2009. All our utsavams

have a deep religious significance

and this utsavaam which

symbolizes the reason for the

karunai of Varadan is in my

opinion the most important

for lacs of people like me who are

prepared to forsake vaikuntam for

this Archa Avataaram. Unn Thirumeni Maravathaar pervathare is equally apt for our

Devaraja Perumaal!!!

This month also marks the 999 year of the avatar Koorath Aazwaan. He was an

Acharyaan who could give anything for Swami Ramanuja. KoorathAazwaan gave his

darshanam (eyes) so that Swami Ramanuja’s Darshanam is preserved for posterity.

This month is also celebrates the Tirunatshatram of Sri Govinda Bhattar (embar also

known as Sri Ramanuja Pada Chaaya). Thus the beginning of this year marks with

thanksgiving to all the Mudalis who formed a protective ring around Swami Ramanuja

and also to Lord Varadan and Perumdevi Thayar who gave us this great Aacharyan to

us. Thai maasam also has Aandaal Thiru Kalayan utsavam and Namaazwaar Thivadi

Thozuthal. What a great month and to be in all the divaya desam. No wonder Thai

piranthaal Vazi perakkum is aptly said.

This month marks the first birth anniversary of our E journal! Even though it is

still in its fledgling state it has reached out to many Srivaishnava bhaktas all around. We

Salakkinaru

http://www.pbase.com/svami/salaikkinaru


must applaud the selfless services rendered by Sri Govindarajan Swamy who had been

the moola kartha of this journal. His steadfast desire to spread Our Sri Sampradayam

has been the main reason for people like adieyen to write about Our Sampradayam.

With Swamy Desikan’s arul adieyen has no doubt that this journal will see many many

more celebrations.

Surya Grahanam : Starts at 2.29pm on Monday, 26th Jan 2009, middle 3.19pm and

evening ends at 4.03pm. No food in the morning. Those who born in Uthiradam,

perumal sannidhi and worshiping a Vedic Brahmin with tambulam and dakshina is

enough.


Nangoor is the temple town of Cholas as Kanchipuram is the temple town of

Pallavas. There is an old Tamil proverb which refers to "Nangoor Naalaayiravar", i.e.

"The 4000 people of Nangoor" The two festivals to be celebrated in the month of Thai

are referred as Manjal Kuliyal Festival (Holy Turmeric Bath Festival) and Padhinoru

Garuda Sevai (Eleven Garuda Sevai

Festival). In both, the Lords in the Eleven

divyadesas participate with Thirumangai

Alvar as the Soothradhari. This Alvar

honoured by Lord Ranganatha of

Srirangam with Manjal Neerattam as a

reward for rendering Thirunedun

Thandagam before the Lord. This festival

used to be celebrated on the banks of

Kollidom onThaiAmavasya day. Later on

with the passing away of the Alvar, his

brother-in-law had an idol of Thirumangai

Alvar installed in Thirukkuraiyalur, his

birth place and decided to replicate the

Manjal Kuliyal at Nangoor. Thus, this

festival has its origin in early 8th century

A.D. and is therefore a 12 centuries old

hoary tradition replayed every year with

piety and éclat.

Briefly the festival is as follows. On the Thai Amavasya day early in the

morning even by 3 a.m. the Archa Moorthy of Thirumangai Alvar is taken in procession

from Thiruvali Thirunagari en route visiting the five divyadesas, namely,

Thirukkaraiyalur, ThirumaniMadam, Thirukavalambadi, Thirumanikkoodam, and

Thiruparthanpalli. In each place, the procession stops and the Alvar visits the Perumal

Sannidhi in each temple and does Mangalasasanam to the Perumal of that temple by

reciting the pasuram composed by Him on that Lord. By mid-day the procession

reaches the banks of Manikarnikai aaru(rivulet) Then Sri Thirumangai Alwar is taken

for a dip in the waist deep water in the Manikarnikai aaru along with the thronging

devotees who followed the procession. The atmosphere is electrified with a rare

religious fervor which has to be seen to be believed. During the dip the devotees recite


the pasurams composed by the ALvar on his Aacharyan, namely, Thirunaraiyur Nambi

(PeriyaThirumozhi 6-6-8) and another pasuram composed in praise of the Lord of

Srirangam (Periya Thirumozhi 5-8-9). After that Mangalasasanam the Alvar is honoured

by the two Lord, namely, Thirunaraiyur Nambi and Lord Ranganatha, who give gifts to

the Alvar. The Peethaambara which earlier adorned the Lord in those places along with

garlands worn by those Lords are brought specially to this place and given as gifts to

the Alvar. After receiving the gifts the Alvar arrives at the banks of the river and placed

in an old Mandapam which is known as manjal mandapa. A small silver plate

(Sahasradhara plate) is placed above the head of the Alvar and on that plate is seated

the archa moorthy so lovingly worshipped by the Alvar himself and lovingly referred to

by him as "Sinthanaikku Iniyan", i.e. one who

is sweet on reflection. Then the holy

turmeric water is poured on the head of

the idol worshipped by the Alvar and the

water flows down on the head of the

Alvar himself through the Sahasradhara

plate. The Thirumanjanam performed to

Sinthainkku Iniyan covers the Alvar as

well. As soon as the holy bath is over, a

sumptuous feast is held where all the

devotees and others who have

assembled for that function participate.

In the evening the Alvar again starts on

his return journey, visiting the

Thirumanimada Kovil, Thiruban

Purushothaman Kovil, Thiru Vaikunta

Vinnagaram Kovil, Thiru Sempon Sei

Kovil, Thiru Thetri Ambalan Kovil, Thiru

Arimeya Vinnagaram Kovil. Thus, five

Vaishnavite divya desas are covered in

the morning and six other Vaishnavite

divya desas in the afternoon. In all these

temples, select pasurams composed by Thirumangai Alvar in respect of the Perumal of

each divya desas is rendered.

The other ancient festival started about 125 years ago, is celebrated the next

day. In those days a devout Vaishnavite by name Sri Thirumlai Vinjanoor Srinivasachar,

an inspector of schools at Chidambaram, was transferred to Thirunelveli. When he

visited Alvar Thirunagari he witnessed the Nava Tirupathi Garudaseva celebration in the


month of Vaikhasi when the Perumals from Nava Tirupathi divya desas seated on

Garuda come and visit Nammalvar. It occurred to this staunch Vaishnavite that a

similar Garudaseva for the Perumals of the eleven divya desas in Thirunagoor could be

arranged on the same lines as nava Tirupathi Garudaseva at Alvarthirunagari, so that

the uthsavam celebrated in u is replicated to Parakalan in Chola nadu and that it could

be synchronized with the annual Manjal Kulliyal Neerattam festival already in vogue in

the temple town. It is this devout wish of that Inspector of Schools which is re-enacted

for the last one century and more.

A day after the Manjal Kuliyal festival the eleven Perumals from 11 temples (in

and around Nangoor) would start from the respective places, seated in the Garuda

Vahana and assemble at Manimada Kovil. All the Archa Moorthys of the eleven Perumal

temples thus assemble under one roof in front of Manimada Kovil. Then one by one all

the Lords seated on the GarudaVahana are brought before Thirumangai Alvar. All the

pasurams composed by the Alvar in honour of the respective Lords are then recited.

Finally the idol of Shri Manavala Maamuni is brought in a procession and the song

composed by him on the Alvar

is rendered. The whole event

is soul stirring. Finally that

night a procession headed by

Sri Manavala Maamuni

followed by Thirumangai

Alvar seated along with

Kumudhavalli Thayar on a

Hamsa Vahana, followed by

the eleven Perumals each

seated on a Garuda, one

behind the other, form a long

train. This huge procession

goes around the four streets of

the temple town of Thirunangoor.

The next morning the Alvar starts on homeward journey, visiting

Thiruvellakulam (Annan Koil), ThiruDevanar Thogai, and Thiruvali and reaches

Thirunagari.When finally Alvar reaches Thirunagari. VayaliManaval Perumal of

Thirunagari seated on the GarudaVahana waits at the entrance of the Rajagopuram of

the temple to receive as it were the Alvar after his holy yatra.When the Alvar reaches

the entrance of the temple the pasuram in Thirumozhi (8-9-8) sung in praise of

Thirunagari Perumal is recited. After it is completed, the Perumal along with the Alvar

get into the temple, signalling the conclusion of the Thiru Nangoor eleven Garuda Seva.

Thus the 12 centuries old Manjal Kulliyal festival and the 125 year old Eleven

Garuda Seva Festival celebrated on Thai Amavasya Day and the day succeeding it

convert this sleepy slumbering town into a hub of holy activity for those two days.

Anushtanakulam Utsavam

“Margazhi morning at Kanchipuram. Lord Varadan seats himself in the Kannadi

mantapam. Sri Ramanujar in a prostrating posture seats beside him. Lord Varadan

could be seen wearing a velvet garment with the Thiruppavai pasuram for the day

inscribed on it.

At around 11 in the

morning the procession

amidst a huge sea of Veda

goshti

and Prabandha goshti leaves

the temple with Varadaraaja

Perumal inside a palanquin

and Sri Ramanujar following

Him.

The procession stops

at the entrance of Thuppul,

where in maryaadai is

offered to the Lord and Sri Ramanujar. The goshti immediately proceeds further

and reaches the sAlai kiNaru. Meanwhile shARRumuRai is completed at Thuppul

and Our Swamy Desikan is ready decking himself for the occassion.

http://www.pbase.com/svami/anushtanakulam


The procession reaches the mantapam next to sAlai KiNaru. Arrangements for

Thirumanjanam are made. The representative of Thatha Desikan brings in

water from the Kinaru amidst a big Veda goshti. Detailed Thirumanjanam is

performed amidst Kattiyam seviththal etc. Thirumanjanam is followed by

Nivedanam, shaRRumuRai, teertha goshti and prasadam. Perumal is now decked with

Bow and arrow signifying His manifestation as a hunter and huntress in escorting Sri

Ramanuja from the forests to Kanchipuram. Lord Varadaraaja now leads the way and

Sri Ramanujar follows behind him, signifying as

to how the Hunter escorted Sri Ramanuja.

As soon as the procession crosses the

Thuppul agraharam bend, Our Swamy

Desikan comes out of his sannidhi and waits

anxiously at the entrance. Swamy Desikan

adored in the finest of garments and

ornaments wears a crown of velvet with

konDai enmeshed with pearls. Vadyams

double and the goshti almost triple at this

stage.

As soon as the procession arrives at

the entrance of Thuppul, Swamy Desikan

first does maryadai to Lord Varadan with

pattu-vastrams etc and then to Sri

Ramanujar. Swamy Desikan then receives

maalai from Lord Varadan and Sri Ramanujar and traces his steps back in an act of

welcoming his guests. He stands at the mukha dvaram of the temple and allows Lord

Varadan and Sri Ramanujar to move into the temple and then gently follows them.

Varadaraaja Perumal is then seated on a Simhasanam. To His left Sri Ramanujar is

seated on an Acharya peetam. To Lord Varadan's right Our SwamyDesikan seats

himself on the floor! (This shows the peak of his Acharya bhakti). The confluence is

bewitching.

Swamy Desikan then performs Thiruvaradhanam to His Ishta Devata Sri

Varadan. TaLigai is then offered by Our SwamyDesikan to his royal guests. Soon after

this Lord Varadan blesses Sri Ramanujar with his shatari and malai, which is in turn

conveyed by Sri Ramanuja to Swamy Desikan. This is followed by teertha goshti and

prasadam. Soon after this Hastigiri Naathan Sri Varadan and Sri Ramanujar decide to

take leave of Swamy Desikan. Our Swamy Desikan moves first in an act of escorting

them and stands at the entrance to see his guests off. He then follows them for a few

Varadan in hunter vezham who saved Ramanujar

more yards and stays there for a minute or two. Delighted beyond limits He retires to

his Asthanam after this.”

(Sri C G Balaji Swamy)

This utsavam is conducted every year on the next day

after Iyarpa satumarai (which is conducted the next day

after adhyayanotsava satumarai). This utsavam is

conducted in order to remind the bhaktas about the

famous story where Lord Varadaraja and Perumdevi

Thayar came to the rescue of Sri Ramanuja. They

disguised themselves as hunter and his wife and

escorted young Elayazhwar from beyond the Vindhya

Mountains to Kanchi. Yadavaprakasa, the teacher of

Sri Ramanuja and others took his students to Kasi and

had planned a heinous crime. Had it not been for

Govindan (later became Embar) Sri Ramanuja would not

have been available for us in this lokam. May be it was all a leela of

Lord Varada who wanted Sri Ramanuja to propound Vishistadvaitam Sampradayam for

us.

An interesting fact in this festival is the different varieties of Naivedyams

presented to the Royal Guests. There are special naivedyams, such as laddu, mysore

pak, padusha, cake, kesari, ksheerannam, karasewal, dosai, vada, iddli,

panchamruthum, paanakam and what not. Was it this festival that Our Swamy was

referring when He said in Mey Virada maanyam ---

Chennru Malar Parithu Ennaathan Shevadiipothu ugandhu

Nannrenu Neer Shudar Nanmukha Vaasam Elai koduthu

Kannal Laddu vathtodu Annam Cheedai Kari Padaithu…… one wonders!

The festival teaches about Athithi Samskar and Aacharya Bhakti. The festival is a

“must see” for all the SriVaishnavas in this world. The Vinayam with which Our Swamy

Desikan welcomes His Royal Guests can only been seen not expressed in words. The

festival which is held in the month of January is a good augury for the whole English

calendar year for all the Bhaktas who witness it.

All of us in our desire to know more about Our Aacharyan, Swami Desikan, go

about trying to get some books to read the slokas and know their meanings. In our

quest to know about the Stotramala and Desika Prabhandam we generally go to the

book stores where we will not be disappointed. The moment we ask for a copy of

Swamy Desika’s Stotramala we are given a copy of it edited by none other than our

Maana seeka Aacharya Shri U Ve Ramadesikan Swamy. This legendary scholar has

given the SriVaishnava community a priceless gift in the form Swamy Desikan’s

Granthas simplified for the bhaddha atmas to understand and enjoy Our Swamy’s

works.. If we possess the text and its

meaning we are doubly blessed with this

grand sire’s photo. The enormous effort

taken by Shir RamaDesikan Swamy to

simplify yet retain the essence of Our

Swamy Desikan’s granthas is beyond

description. Had it not been for this

Navaneetham Swamy we would not been

enjoying our Stotamala or other works of

Swamy Desikan which are like

Navaneetham when mixed with the

vyakhanams of Aacharya purushas. As

other wise it would have been a case

Yettaa Kani!!!

Navaneetham (butter mixed with

sugar) was a name given by Sarabhoji Raja

of Tanjore ,when the great , great , grand

father of Sri RamaDesikan had kalakshepams at the royal court on ChAndhogya

Upanishad. The Maratta King was so moved by the clarity and sweetness of the

presentation that he compared the lectures to Navaneetham (Butter mixed with sugar),

a favorite food of Lord KrishNA. The king conferred the title of Navaneetham on the

Scholar and that title is carried even today by the male members of the family.


Vangipuram Navaneetham Swamigals are the residents of Oppiliappan Koil.

This family has been involved with Ubhaya Vedantha Kaimkaryam for The Divya

Dampathis at this Kshethram for many generations.

Vangipuram is the name derived from a village called VEngipuram near

VizhagapattiNam. Vangipuram Nambi, one of the 74 SimhAsanAdhipathis appointed by

Acharya RamAnujA came from

here. This illustrious connection is

enjoyed by the Navaneetham

Swamigal’s family. The family is

connected to Vangipuram Nambi.

Sri Ub. Ve. Vangipuram

Navaneetham Srirama-DesikachAr

Swamy and his scholarship is

legendary. Since Swami Desikan's

time, no one has attempted to

write commentaries on the

AmruthasvAdhini Rahasyams. The

enormous and painstaking efforts

of Navaneetham Swami to collect

the palm leave manuscripts,

compare them for authenticity,

comment on them and proof read

the pages in print is beyond

imagination. We are truly blessed

to gain insights into Swami

Desikan's multifacted genius thanks

to the elegant and clear

commentary of Navaneetham

Swami. His ability to explain

complex doctrines in an easily understandable manner is a true gift for us. Even when

Navaneetham Swami was recovering from cataract operations and angina pectoris, he

continued with his extraordinary labor of love and blessed us with these and other

monographs on Swami Desikan's brilliant master pieces that serve as foundation stones

for our SiddhAntham .

(Dr.V Sadagopan Swamy)

The more one reads the Desika Prabhandam our belief in Swamy Desikan as

religious teacher, philosopher, composer and poet in Tamil language is cemented. “It


can almost be said that all that is necessary to be learnt and known by a Srivaishnava,

He has put into Tamil and what He has not put into Tamil is not necessary to be learnt

or known.

(Sriman V.V Srinivasa Aiyangar)

Sriman Vangipuram Navanitam Srirama Desikacharya has rendered conspicuous

services not only to the Srivaishanvites of South India but to all the lovers of Tamil in

bringing out this edition of Desika Prabhandam in the form of a scholarly edition worthy

of the great masterpieces.The thanks of

the public are therefore due to him for

what he has accomplished in the way of

scholarship and in the spirit of sheer

services.

(Sriman V.V Srinivasa Aiyangar).”

SriRamaDesikan was a

Siromani in Sanskrit and a Vidwan in

Tamil of the Madras University. His

unflagging energy to simplify Swamy

Desikan’s works by adding introductory

note, word to word meaning and the

sum and substance of the paasuram at

the end should be remembered by the

readers with gratitude.

SrI SrIrAmadesikAchAyar, a

recipient of the President's Award for

Scholars, brought out two volumes of

Chillarai Rahasyams, but ascended to

Paramapadam before he could publish

the third one to which this UpakAra

Sangraham belongs. With the elaborate

notes left by him, the third volume was

published by Sri PoundarIkapuram

srImadAndavan Asramam, Srirangam in

1995.

“The son of Sri Srirama DesikAchAr is Sri Vangipuram Navaneetham Gopala

Desikan. He has taken the seat of his father and grand father at the lotus feet of the

Lord of ThiruviNNagaram and performs today Thiruvaimozhi Kaimkaryam and writes


regularly in Nrusimha PriyA . His contributions on Srivaishnavism in the form of Q&A s

as well as his monographs on Sri Bhagavadh GitA are great contributions fitting the

tradition of this illustrious family. His cousin is Dr. Vangipuram Navaneetham Vedantha

Desikan, who was my senior at Annamalai University in the Chemistry Department and

is the author of the most informative and scholarly book published by VishitAdvaitha

Research center under the title of "AzhwAr ThiruvuLLam", a comparative study of the

many commentaries of our PurvAcharyArs on Thiruvaimozhi .”

(Dr.V Sadagopan Swamy)

Where else can we find a Teacher /Aacharyan who painstakingly explains in

lucid language? It is my dhurbagyam that I did not have a darshan of this great

Maanaseeka Aacharyan of mine. In the end we can only do a dhandavat pranaam to

the illustrious Aacharya Paramparai of Vangeepuram Navaneetham Swami of

Oppiliappan Koil.
