16/4/2015, Manmatha Chitra Purattadhi Dwadashi Tirumanjanam was done to Varaha Perumal at Dasavatara sannidhi and to 41st Srimadh Azhagiasingar at his brindavan adjacent to Dasavatara sannidhi. Varaha was the 3rd avatara of Vishnu and the importance of this avatara is that Bhumi(Mother Earth) who is saved by Perumal who took avatara as a Boar begs that we Her children should be redeemed. She says ” If My children surrender to You when they are healthy and have a proper frame of mind grant them moksham even if they are not in a condition to remember You at the time of death. ” This is exactly what our acharyas do when we seek prappathi. As if to remind us about the role of acharyas it happened to be the monthly tirunakshatram of karaikuruchi Srimadh Azhagiasingar and proper tirumanjanam was done to his archa tirumeni at swami’s brindavanam. Devotees were blessed with the padukas of 41st, 44th and 45th Srimad Azhagiasingar besides Perumal theerham. SriSathari, Sripadatheertham(It being dwadashi) and prasadam(fruits and Venpongal). As is usual Srisathari blessed us at the sannidhis of Tirumangaiazhwar, Swami Desikan and Adivan Sathakopa Yathindramahadesikan.
