Breezy morning on the shores
Sri Rajeevalochana
Maha bhagyam!– We are living in the same times as our Acharya sarvabhouma
Srimadabhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy. We are twice blessed
indeed to be celebrating the Shatabhishekam of our Acharya. What a fortune!
Many years ago, this author had the rare opportunity to accompany Swamy during a yatra
to the holy divyadesham of Thiruppullani. It was an experience of a lifetime to see the
thiruvaradhanam of Srilakshmi Hayagreeva conducted on the sea-shore by our Swamy. It
was a unique experience to have been witnessing the dolotsavam on the banks of a gushing
samudram. A divine thrill and poetic exuberance runs through me even as I remember those
beautiful moments.
On the occasion of Shatabhishekam (81st thirunakshatram) of our Acharya sarvabhouma, I
would like to recollect and celebrate those memorable experiences of mine on the shores of
sEthusamudram that day.
Early in the morning, a fine stretch of undisturbed shore was selected on the ocean banks of
sEthukkarai. ThiruvArAdhanamantapam and dOlai of SrI lakShmIhayagrIva was setup there.
swAmy used the sahasradhArA plate and presided the mUrthys of SrI lakShmIhayagrIva,
