Please see the small report on Swami Pillai Lokachariar and Swami Manavala Mamunigal's thirunakshatram celebrations at Pomona Sri Ranganatha Temple. Swami Pillai Lokachariar and Swami Manavala Mamunigal's thirunakshatrams were celebrated at Pomona Sri Ranganatha Temple on Sunday, November 13, 2005 along with Mudhalazhwar's thirunakshatrams.
We have a big picture of Srirangam Sri Manavala Mamunigal at the temple. Morning after Nithyanusandhanam, near Sri Ramanuja's sannithi goshti started with Koil Thiruvaimozhi. Though only a handful of SriVaishnavas came for the occasion, still it was very melodious to listen to the recitation.
After Koil Thiruvaimozhi Perumal had thirumanjanam because of Revathi nakshatram. Right after thirumanjanam goshti continued with Ramanusa Nootrandhathi. Ramanusa Nootrandhathi was followed by Upadesa Rathinamalai and Sri Yathiraja Vimsathi. Then Swami Manavala Mamunigal's picture came in a procession to Perumal's Sannithi. After that thaligai for Perumal and Acharyas were offered.
Then the satrumarai started. Upadesa Rathinamalai pasurams about Swami Pillai Lokachariar were recited during the satrumarai. At the end special Vazhi Thirunamam Swami Pillai Lokachariar, and Sri Mamunigal were recited. Next year onwards we would like to celebrate this event in a bigger scale with more Bhagavadhas.
