Today, August 21, 2013; Vijaya Avani Avittam, is the 31st day of Chathurmasya vratham for HH 46th Srimath Azhagiyasingar, Srivan Sathakopa Sri Ranganatha Yathindra Maha Desikan.
Today is Gayathri japam day when Brahmins do 1008 times Gayatri Mantra Japam. No relation like a mother and no mantram like Gayatri goes the saying. One can see Brahma Tejas on the faces of those who do regular japam of the mantram. Those brahmacharis who observe their Prathamopakarma that is the first upakarma after upanayanam do yagyam with samith to the chanting of Gayatri mantram on Gayatri Japam day. At the Sathabhishekam mandapam in SriRangam Dasavatharan Sannidhi Abhigamanan was performed at the usual time. Theertham SriSathari and Prasadha Viniyogam (Dadhi annam and fruits) were over by 8.45a.m. Tommorrow afternoon at 3.00 Bhumi Puja will be done at the Brindavanam site of 45th Srimath Azhagiyasingar SriVan Sathakopa Sri Narayana Yathindra Mahadesikan. Shishyas can chant thaniyan of 45th Srimadh Azhagiasingar as many times as possible.
