In the Auspicious Ka:rthi:ka month, on the day of Swa:mi Pillai Lo:ka:cha:rya's thirunakshathram, His Holiness Thridandi Sri:manna:ra:yana Ra:ma:nuja Jeeyar Swa:mi toured Sri: A:dike:sava Emberuma:na:r Swa:mi's kovela which is hailed as Abhinava Bhoothapuri. Swa:miji arrived Narasapuram on the night of 5th at 10:30PM. Swa:miji who is tirelessly working to enlighten all humanity spent time in the local Ve:nkate:swara Swa:mi's temple giving a discourse to the local devotees until 12 in the night.

In the morning of 6th, Swa:miji performed morning anushta:nams and thiruva:ra:dhana, after which theerthago:shti started. Devotees in Narasapuram and near by villages thronged to receive Sri:pa:da theertham from Sri: Swa:miji. Many thousands of people queued on the road for the Sri:pa:da theerthham. After gracing theertha go:shti, Swa:miji entered Sri: A:dike:sava Swa:mi Ko:vela with all the temple honours. Swa:miji did mangalasa:sanams to Yathira:jana:thavalli tha:ya:r same:tha Sri A:dike:sava Swa:mi, Swa:mi Ra:ma:nuja, A:zhwa:rs, Swa:mi Pillai Lo:ka:cha:ryar and other pu:rva:charyas.

Swa:mi then proceeded to Swa:mi Manava:la Maha:muni Sannidhi to do mangala:sa:sanams. To commemorate Swa:mi Manavala Maha:muni's glory of acting as A:cha:rya to Sri:rangana:tha Himself, A:dise:sha Peethham is presented to Swami Manava:la Maha:muni by Sri: Swa:miji. Sri: Swa:miji who is determined to revive the temple system in Emberumana:r Samprada:yam, honouring the swa:mi who has revived the temple system in Sri:rangam is a great spectacle for all devout Sri:vaishnavas. Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swa:mi decorated the Periya Jeeyar of our samprada:yam with Sri: A:dise:sha Peetham.

Later Sri: Swa:miji explained the glory of A:dise:sha peetham, Swa:mi Manava:la Maha:muni and Swa:mi Pillai Lo:ka:cha:ryar to a devout audience of several thosands. Swa:miji siezed the occasion of Swa:mi Pillai Lo:ka:cha:ryar 's thirunakshathram to inform us how painstakingly our purvacharyas like Swa:mi Pillai Lo:kacha:rya protected our traditions and heritage. Swa:miji instructed all the devotees to actively learn the Vaidika lifestyle and practise it. Swa:miji told that people of all varnas if they follow their prescribed duties as per vedas, they are all vedics. Vaidika life style does not mean merely uttering some mantras as some would feel.

Sri: Swa:miji is full of praises for antaryami.net website and its volunteers for forming a global chain of Sri: Vaishnavas and indulge in sampradaya kainkaryams as a congregation. Swa:miji specially graced mangala:sa:sanams for all the young devotees that are participating in various kainkaryams such as the one in Narasapuram.
