The grand Uthsavam of
Periya Jeeyar is now on at all Divyadesams and today (5th Nov 2013) is the 8th
day.
Saint Vara
Vara Muni, the last of the ‘Poorvacharyars’ in the grand galaxy of preceptors
was known as Alagiya Manavala Nayanar, before he was ordained the holy order
of Sanyasa. Our Acharyar is adored as ‘Manavalamamunigal’
, Sowmya Jamathru Yogi and more.
Sri Mamunigal is
believed to be the reincarnation of Sri Ramanuja who himself was an incarnation
of Adisesha. Our Acharyar flourished in
this world between 1370 and 1443 A.D.
Our Swami spent his early years at Tirunagari and then moved to Srirangam, the holy
city of so many eminent divines. Here HE organized and systemized the temple
management and rituals. Swami was a very
great scholar and his commentaries are characterised by the clarity and
completeness of exposition.
On 8th
day, Sri Manavala Mamunigal had purappadu astride silver elephant and outshone
with His kindness and benevolence. Here
are photos taken during the purappadu and a photo of Swami Manavala Mamunigal
at Thirukachi Perumal koil.
