Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha ParabrahmaNE Nama: Dear Aathma BhandhUs : Today was the day that this soul has been waiting for aeons to be returned to the owner , Sriman NaarAyaNan through SadachArya Mukham . It was PramAthi Thai 24th and the Nakshathram was Sathayam. It was siddha Yogam and a MuhUrtham day on top of it. AdiyEn resting under Sri Oppiliappan's feet at my house could hardly sleep with the sense of expectation of a bride on Her wedding Morning . The Aathma VivAham was about to take place that day in the dhivya desam of Thirukkudanthai in front of Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan . It was a Monday and hence adiyEn left before Raahu Kaalam (7.30 AM) for Thirukkudanthai after the VisvarUpa darsanam of ThiruviNNagarappan . Our SadAchAryan was already up for few hours and was engaged in performing the Abhigamana AarAdhanam for MalOlan . The SaattthumuRai GhOshti was active . AdiyEn arrived at the time , when AchArya RaamAnujA's saraNAgathi gadhyam was being recited . AdiyEn joined the GhOshti and followed the morning's nithyAnusandhAnam kramam of the Sri Sannidhi . At the end of the AarAdhanam , theertham and SatAri for the ghOshti was completed ; adiyEn was then asked to receive sankalpam from U.Ve. VaduvUr SwamigaL, the Sannidhi AarAdhakar and a great Sri VaishNavite Scholar . Our kind-hearted , most compassionate AchAryan inquired about the sishyALs undertaking BharanyAsam that Morning . It was just adiyEn and then there was another elderly lady , who decided on the spot to receive Prapatthi. It so happened that she was from the family of HH the 43rd Jeeyar of DhEvanAr ViLagam , who blessed me with samAsrayaNam many years ago as a small boy at DhEvanArviLAgam during the first few days of His ascent to the AchArya Peetam . AdiyEn can not but recall the AchArya Sambhandham , when adiyEn remembered the mokshArtha Aaathma RakshA Bharam performed by Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar at the holy feet of the DhevanArviLAgam Azhagiya Singar at the dhvayam ViLaintha Thiruppathi of MadhurAnthakam some fifty plus years ago. Thus there were the two of us awaiting Bhara SamarpaNam at the blessed Thiruvadi of Sri NaarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA Desikan that morning at PatraachAr Street known for great Ubhaya VedAnthins performing kaimkaryam to Sri AarAvamudhan for generations .
