Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Ahobila Matam Home Page - Mandapam PicturesDear BhakthAs of ANDAL : In the line of the PeetAdhipathis of AhObila Matam , there was a Jeeyar known as Andal Azhagiya Singar . His Father was the VynathEya amsa )Azhagiya Singar . As you know , VynathEyar (Garudar) has special significance at Srivilliputthur . PeriyAzhwAr , the father of ANDAL is also VynathEyAmsar like the 25th Pattam Azhagiya Singar . ANDAL Azhagiya Singar and VynathEya Azhagiya Singars were the 26th and the 25th Pattam Azhagiya Singars . They were son and Father respectively in PoorvAsramam. ANDAL Azhagiya Singar ( Pattam 1811-1828 C.E) was born on Aadi Pooram . This Azhagiya Singar had the ParipoorNa anugraham of ANDAL of SrivilliputthUr . He spent a few years at SrivilliputthUr worshipping ANDAL and RangamannAr ( Please see the picture of ANDAL and RangamannAr inside the VeLLi Mantapam at Ahobila Matam . This Silver Mantapam was presented to this Azhagiya Singar by Mysore Mahaa RaajA , Sri KrishNa Raaja KaNDeerava Saarvabhouman during his stay at Melkote/Mysore . The Golden Dolai that we see today inside the Silver Mantapam for Malolan was also presented by this Mahaa Raajaa of Mysore . As we celebrate the Andal Thirunakshathram at SriviliputthUr with the NaachiyAr Thirumozhi Dance drama on Aug 3 & the Mutthangi SamarpaNam for ANDAL on Aug 8 , our reverence-filled thoughts go back to the two illustrious Azhagiya Sungars , who adorned the 25th and 26th Pattam at Sri Matam and Prakrutham Azhagiya Singar who is performing NithyArAdhanam for MalOlan , Dolai KaNNan , Sri Ranga MannAr SamEtha Sri ANDAL and all other sacred Moorthyas inside the VeLLi Mantapam . Our Thanks to all the devotees , who has made this function possible from India , USA , Australia and Singapore .
