Today January 6, 2014; Vijaya Varusha Margazhi Purattadhi, the Thirunakshatram of HH 41st Srimath Azhagiyasingar, Sri Van Sathakopa SriLakshmi Nrisimha Sathakopa Yathindra Mahadesikan, was celebrated at Srirangam. Yesterday, January 5, 2014, there was Thirumanjanam in the evening at Uthira Veedhi Sri Ahobila Mutt. Today morning at 5.30 am Srimath Azhagiyasingar was taken in purappadu on Uthira Veedhi. The purappadu took place before Namperumal’s Adhyayana Utsavam Purappadu which takes place at 6:30 am. At about 7.30 am, there was vishesha Thirumanjanam at Srimath Azhagiyasingar’s Brindavanam at Sri Dasavatharan Sannidhi. It was heartening to see numerous devotees receiving Srimath Azhagiyasingar’s grace. Those present had the soubhaghyam of having Srimath Azhagiyasingar’s padhukas on their heads. After Thirumanjanam, Sattrumurai took place followed by theertham, Sri Sathari and prasada viniyogam (kesari and ven pongal). After this, the devotees proceeded to Uthira Veedhi Mutt, where special Satrumurai took place followed by Perumal theertham, SriSathari, Sripadatheertham and thadeearadhanai. Many of Srimath Azhagiyasingar’s poorvashrama family members were present and they have established a Trust which carries out the Thirunakshatram in a grand manner with Vedha, Desika Prabhandha Parayanam, Thadeearadhanai and appropriate sambhavanai. Fortunate are those born in the family of Azhagiyasingars and it is our duty to uphold the values our purvacharyas stood for and established forsaking personal gains for setting our sampradhaya on a firm foothold.

His Holiness the 41st Azhagiyasingar’s Thirunakshatra Mahotsavam was organized at Srirangam in a grand manner by the Karukurichi brothers. Relentless efforts put in by Sri Gopala Raghavan (befittingly, Ramayana Swami)need spl mention. It’s our (privileged disciples of Sri Ahobhila Mutt) bounden duty to contribute generously and also partake in such occasions with our kith and kin. We can think of an hour-long discourse on HH, the 41st Jeer. Hats off to Karukurichi Brothers!
