Swami Manavala Mamunigal Sarrumurai (Eve) 2022 :

அழகு திகழ்ந்திடும் ஐப்பசியில் திருமூலம் ***

Saturday Oct 29, 2022 (Aippaisi 12) was the great day of Acaryan Sarrumurai ~ Aippasiyil Thirumoolam. There was no rain interruption and in the morning purappadu, the cynosure of eyes were the spotless white parasols – the divine kodais ~ 10 sets of them – the divine kodais 20 in no. .. .. The morning of the busy day dawned so gracefully – for those of us would never forget the greatest darshan one would dream - the divine blessing of ‘Kaithala Sevai’ ~ [Lord Parthasarathi and consorts being carried in the hands of the battars] – then the umbrellas were getting opened up – spotless white parasols – the divine kodais ‘Thirumoolam in Aippasi’ the day commemorating the birth of divine Acharyar Swami Manavala Mamunigal. The purappadu started around 7 am – hundreds of us were waiting for that grand moment of our Acaryan having grand purappadu with our Emperuman Sri Parthasarathi.. .. then there was grand purappadu in the evening – our Acaryar with Emperuman.

Acaryar Mamunigal is fondly known as ‘Yatheendra Pravanar’ arising out of his irresistible attachment to the lotus feet of Sri Ramanujar [Yatheendrar]. Sri Manavala Mamunigal is the incarnation of Adisesha. One must adore and be attached to their Acharyan and only the direction of Acharyar will lift us from all earthly evils – and for Us fallen at the feet called ‘Ponnadiyam Sengamalam’ – Swami Manavala Mamunigal will direct us and take us to salvation. Those of us who try and uphold the ideals of our religion and its cultural heritage, will sure be benfitted as it then becomes the responsibility of Acharya to take care of Sishya's Atma guna poorthi.

Of the many works, ‘Upadesa Rathinamalai’ is one which all of us should know and recite regularly. There are 73 paasurams + thanian given by Kovil Kandadai annan and another one rendered by Erumbiappa was rendered in the morning purappadu. There was another purappadu in the evening too ~ Emperuman enjoys being with him and hence there is purappadu of Sri Parthasarathi with Mamunigal in the morning and the evening. Here are some photos of the evening purappadu in which Iramanuja Noorranthathi was rendered in the goshti.
