Srimadh Azhagiya Singar thiruvadikaLE charaNam Sri RanganAyikA samEtha Sri Rangarajan thiruvadikaLE charaNam Dear bAgawathAs, On 25th morning the morning sun has already come to Newyork early to be present for the pinnacle occasion of that day. For some of us including adiyEn the night was all day as the "vizhigaL" were merely looking east and keeping it open and waiting for sun to rise. The entire city and the world was awake as well. Sri bAlAji bhattar arrived in the late night from Boston. This day has finally come. we have been working very hard for the last 4 months for this uthayam. When it was very early in the morning "thirup paLLi ezhucchi" and "nityAnusandhanam" were done. EkAnthra thiru manchanam was performed for Sri namperumAL and Sri nammAzhwAr. The gOshti began at 9:00 Am and the gOshti was in its full strength. During the agala killEn pathigam, the gOshti was very emotional. At the end of that pathigam Sri nammAzwAr's saranAgathi was symbolised by adorning sadAri to all the members of the gOshti. Sri nammAzwAr and all the AchAryAs were seated now straight opposite to and about 25 feet away from Sri Ranganatha. The goshti was between them. Sri nammAzhar was adorned with perumAL's vasthram when he went back after thiru manchanam. Sri nammAzwAr's ascendance will be done with the perumAL's vasthtram on Sri namm AzhwAr. The gOshti continued until the end of the onbathAm (9th) pattthu. sARRumurai was performed with the agalakillEN pAsurams. While the gOshti was almost over, the thiruk kalyAna ursavam of SriSrinivasa perumAL and HIS consort was performed. Many bAgawathALs came forward to sponsor the thiruk kalyAnam. During the afternoon, a classical dance program and devotional songs were performed in the NAMA event. In the afternoon there were 375 bAgawathAs. In the evening the nityAnusanthAnam and gOshti began as per the time. The gOshti completed the 8 pathigams and stopped prior to "soozh visumbum" pathigam. By then more bAgawathAs began to arrive. Sri nammAzwAr and all AchAryAs were now moved to the end of the hall in the same posture as it they are all still having the darshan of the perumAL. will continue......
