Sri Manavala Mamunigal Uthsavam day 5 - Amavasai purappadu at Thiruvallikkeni

The famed ‘Aippasiyil Thirumoolam’ – the birth day of our Acharyar Sri Manavala Mamunigal is getting nearer, as we celebrate the 10 day Thiruvavathara Uthsavam of our Acharyar at divyadesams in grand manner.   After the Deepavali purappadu, today, it is Amavasai and happily today too our Acharyar accompanies Sri Parthasarathi Perumal. 

In our daily prayers,  we pray to Supreme Sriman Narayana that the order established by Sri Ramanuja should flourish unhindered for ages to come ~ and for that to happen – our Acharyar Sri Manavala Mamunigal should live for 100 more years. 

Our Acharyar in his exceptional eloquence echoed the words of PoorvAcharyars using them as fragrant flowers in the garland.   He praises Azhwargal and Acharyargal and directs us to fall at their feet and learn to surrender ourselves to God.  His work ‘Yathiraja Vimsathi’ praises Bhagwat Ramanujar.

Here are some photos taken during the purappadu today. Due to incessant rains, there was periya maada veethi purappadu sans fireworks …

Adiyen Srinivasadhasan.
