This year's bonanza (will be celebrating for the 1st time in my life):
1. Sri Dhoddayyangar Appai - Thai Swathi (All set for Feb 4th 💝💝💝)
3. Sri Kalamoor Varadhamunigal - Chithrai Shravanam
Search on for more. 🧐😃
So, shall share a few happy facts regarding the great #SriVaramangaiMuniVaibhavam for 2-3 days.
*** 1. Introduction ***
Srivaramangala Nagar or Vaanamaamalai or Gaganagiri or Vanadri Kshetram is one of the 108 Divyadesams & also, one of the Svayamvyaktha Kshetrams.
Perumal of this Kshetram is Deivanayakan & Thayar is Srivaramangai.
Sri Pillailokam Jeeyar has highlighted the greatness of Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar at several places in this grantham.
It was written by Sri Sundararyar, the grandson of Sri Ramanujam Pillaan (the Gnana Puthra of Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar).
Gaganagiri Muni Charithram was later translated in Thamizh as Sri Varamangai Muni Vaibhavam.
Smt.Sumitra Varadarajan Ammangar has written the English translation:

*** 2. About Sri Dhoddayyangar Appai (a.k.a. Sri Mahacharyar) ***
Sri Kandhadai Dhoddayyangaar Appai is a scion of the glorious Swami Mudhaliyandan (one of the prime Shishyas of Swami Ramanuja) lineage.
However, Swami Manavala Mamunigal directed Him to become the Shishya of Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar!
Hence, Sri Dhoddayyangaar Appai became Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar's Shishya.
Nithya Thaniyan is the slokam to be recited everyday while Thirunakshatra Thaniyan is recited on the birth star of a specific Azhwar / Acharya.
This norm is followed by all shishyas of the Sri Vanamamalai Matam.
So, wherever possible, let us also enjoy quotes from these beautiful sthuthis.
“Adishesha” means He is the first & foremost servant of Sriman Narayana.
It is quite famous that Sri Adishesha descended as Swami Ramanuja. He had also descended as Swami Manavala Mamunigal.
He is the first Jeeyar of the Sri Vanamamalai Matam.
* Sri Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar
* Srivaramangai Muni
* Sri Ponnadiyaam Sengamalam i.e. the Golden (Red) Lotus Feet of Swami Manavala Mamunigal.
Likewise, He descended as Swami Manavala Mamunigal & Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar.
Ponnadikkaal (i.e. Pon + Adikkaal) means the golden foundation.
Everyone took the blessings of Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar before They sought refuge in the Feet of Swami Manavala Mamunigal
The letter asked Swami Manavala Mamunigal to send Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar to Sri Vanamamalai Divyadesam for nithya kainkaryam (i.e. regular, daily kainkaryam).
When They did so, one of the pasuram lines that had the word “Aranganagarappaa!” was recited.
This was because of Sri Periya Perumal's grace.
"பெரியோருக்கு ஆட்பட்டால் பெறாத பயன் பெறுவோம்"
Sample:
His Thiruprathishtai was done by none other than Swami Manavala Mamunigal.
When Swami Manavala Mamunigal was still in Gruhasthashrama, His Thirunaamam (name) was Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar.
Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar took Sanyasa before His Guru did!
He was standing in a garden on Sri Venkatachala Hills and the sacred hill range was nowhere to be seen!!!
They say that the holy one lying down on the ground is Sri Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar, the Thiruvaaimozhi Eedu 36000 Padi Expert.
Thus Thiruvenkatavan revealed that both Sri Manavala Mamunigal and Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar are the amshams of the Thiruvenkatam Hills i.e. Sri Adhishesha.
Sri Varadharaja Perumal appeared in that dream and said:
"O Anna! Proceed to Srirangam immediately!
Sri Varadharyar rushed to Srirangam and informed Sri Koil Kandhadai Annan regarding the divine dream.
Sri Dhoddayyangar Appai captures that beautiful moment in the Prapatthi (one of my top fav shlokas! 🥰🥰🥰).
And yes, Sarvari year threw me another gift - after a long search, came to know that Sri Appachiyaranna is Sri Ponnadikkaal Jeeyar's Padhuka Thirunaamam. Man, I beamed. 😄
When Sri Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar had started to perform His service at Sri Vanamamalai Divyadesam, there was no Uthsava Vigraha for Srivaramangai Thayar.
The night before He was about to start His journey towards Vanamamalai, Sri Jeeyar had a dream:
She repeated this several times in Her sweet voice.
Surprisingly, they too said that they all had a dream where a sweet, little girl had said:
“Send me to Vanamamalai tomorrow along with my father, Sri Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar!”
Sri Vanamamalai Ramanuja Jeeyar then met the main Jeeyar who managed the Thiruvenkatam Temple administration.
The Thiruvenkata Jeeyar smiled & said, “O Jeeyar! I too had a similar dream last night!"
She is Mahalakshmi Devi Herself.
Several years back an Uthsava Vigraha had appeared at Thiruvenkatam."
She is the one who appeared in my dream last night."

I understand the disappointment when our sects fight in full public view and the embarrassment thereof.
However, my concern is different, TBH.
Am even okay with all our infighting.
My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.

This maturity is not new to us - it has already been explained in the Mahabharatha!!
Yudhishtira tells his brothers to fight the Gandharvas & defend their cousins (Kaurava). This was *after* the game of dice, mark you.
2/n
When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."
Sanathana Dharma has been there for time immemorial. It's natural that we have sects, unresolved disagreements, etc..
3/n
Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!
So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.
4/n
If we try to silence voices or concerns of our internal sects for the sake of common unity, some people of the section that feels unheard may even shake hands with the very foe we're trying to vanquish. This is one of my greatest concerns.

This is the problem with us. After all we fight among ourselves for Thengalai or Vadagalai Thiruman for temple elephants. https://t.co/kLvdZl25Ea

Swamin, thanks much for sharing the refreshing words of the great Swami Pillailokacharyar. Wouldn't dream of speaking against Him. 🙏
Only meant to point out how far we've gone away (IMHO) from the main goal of a Jivathma while dealing with the mischief of vested interests.
1
In the loud din made by deliberate screams like "Can all become Archakars?" or "Can women become Acharyas?", I feel we've kept ourselves too busy in listening to this pointless noise & in trying to "prove" that our Dharma is "inclusive", "open-minded" & what not.
2
In the process, the very purpose of our Janma (Moksham) and the very objective of our Jivathma (Nithya Kainkaryam for Bhagawan and His Adiyaars) lay forgotten.
The truth is these are always open to all Jivathmas regardless of the Varna or any other attribute one can think of.
3
Swami Ramanujacharya & Swami Pillailokacharyar taught us to respect all Jivathmas based on the gnanam, kainkarya manobhavam and other such beautiful parameters.
They showed us examples from our own Ithihasas & Puranas. They didn't do any "activism" is what I mean to say.
4
They taught us that the natural state of the Jivathma is daasathvam towards Emperumaan & His Adiyaars.
Any janma that enables the daasathvam manifest as kainkaryam is beautiful. Once this happens, Varna, Ashrama, etc. are just trivia.

According to Sri Pillai Lokacharya, he classifies the society based on birth in 2 types; 1.uthkrushtamaaga bramiththa jananam, i.e. 'misunderstood to be high birth", 2.apakrushtamaaga bramiththa jananam, i.e. 'misunderstood to be low birth'.
