Srivaishnavaites are
ecstatic. Today Wednesday, 4th Nov 2026
– -
(Aippaisi 18 – Pooram nakshathiram) started the grand uthsavam of Swami
Manavala Mamunigal uthsavam. In 4 days’
time it is Deepavali - and 27th of Aippaisi ~ 13.11.2026
–the exalted day ‘Aippaisiyil
Thirumoolam’ ~ the day when our Acarya Swami Manavala Mamunigal’s
thiruvavathram occurred.
There is the illustrious lineage of Purvacharyargal – the
hierarchy of Srivaishnava preceptors – through whom the glorious traditions
passed by in generations. Its happy culmination with Namperumal
Himself becoming disciple of Acarya Mamunigal redounds the wisdom of our holy
lineage. Swami Emperumanar (Sri Ramanujar) and Manavala
Mamunigal – both were incarnation
of Adisesha. Born as Nayanar, Mamunigal was an ocean of knowledge,
yet learnt at the feet of his erudite father and others – the way Sri Rama and
Sri Krishna did, during their stay on earth – through courses under great sages
of their times like Vasistha, Viswamitra, Sandeepani .. ..
The whole Sri Vaishnava
World is rejoicing at the very thought of sarrumurai celebrations of great
Acaryar. Getting back to our own place, there have
been rain forecasts – nothing unusual for Chennai, though this year there have
been some good rains at the start of the season itself.
On day 1 – and
after Sri Periyazhwar’s Thirupallandu and Periyazhvar thirumozhi rendering in
the afternoon, evening at 0700 pm there was purappadu of Swami Manavala
Mamunigal in Mangalagiri.
During Thiruvavathara
uthsavam Mamunigal has purappadu with Sri Parthasarathi Emperuman on sarrumurai
days and on some special days. On hastham day, it would be Sri
Varadharajar – this year there would be no purappadu of Acharyar with Sri
Thelliyasingar.

work to Varavaramuni Sathakam extols Acaryar Mamunigal

ஒளிக்கு நிதி போன்ற
சிறந்த தலமான செல்வமுள்ள ஸ்ரீரங்க நகரம் விளங்க வேண்டும். அதில் ஒளிகளுக்கெல்லாம் ஒளி(யான
எம்பெருமான்) க்ஷேமமாக வாழ வேண்டும். ஆசார்யர்களுக்கு ஆசார்யரான மணவாள மாமுனிகள் காலந்தோறும்
மங்கலங்களைச் செய்துகொண்டு அவருக்கு ஓர் ஒளியை அளிக்க வேண்டும். மணவாள மாமுனிகளே உமக்கு வணக்கம் !!
The Lord once decided to depute Adisesha to the world
on a mission to reform men and women and remain there for 200 years.
Adisehsa spent 120 years as Sri Ramanuja, for the rest of the
determined period (80 years) he was reborn as Swami Manavala Mamunigal. That
our Acharyar Mamunigal was a manifestation of Adisesha was proved in
an incident when some jealous people set fire to his house but he slipped away
to safety under certain compelling circumstances and to continue his task
uninterrupted he took to ascetic order.
