सोमासिमार नायऩ्मार् (३३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Āśrēṣā nakshatra of Vr̥ṣabhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Somasira Nayanmar, the 33rd Nayanmar was a Brahmana from Tiruvambur, deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and served His devotees from all castes, transcending societal norms. His dedication to conducting Yagas (ritual sacrifices) was remarkable, as he did so without any selfish motives, a rarity in his time. Yagas were typically performed with the expectation of tangible rewards, but Somasira’s selfless approach indicated his advanced spiritual maturity, reflecting the traits of a true Jnani (one who has realized the Self) and Karma Yogi (one who selflessly performs actions).

Additionally, his devotion to his Guru, Sundaramurthi Nayanmar, was profound. He lived in Tiruvarur, fully committed to his spiritual teacher, a testament to the power of Guru Bhakti (devotion to the guru).

श्रीनिवासमङ्गापुरे साक्षात्कार-वैभवोत्सव-आरम्भः

The temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, which has been a center of devotion from ancient times, once fell into disrepair. It was later renovated by Chinna Tirumalacharya, the grandson of Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, as evidenced by an inscription dated March 22nd, 1510 CE at the temple’s entrance. Despite regaining its glory for several years, the temple again faced neglect in the 20th century.

In 1940, an Archaka named Sri Sundara Raja Swamy from Kanchi, inspired by a dream in which Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy appeared, took it upon himself to clean the temple premises and resume regular pujas. He conveyed his dream to the villagers, narrating how Lord Venkateswara Swamy manifested in the dream and instructed him to restore the temple’s former splendor (Past Vaibhavam) by conducting Deepa Naivedya Aaradhana, after which the Lord vanished from the dream. On July 11, 1940, which was Ashada Shukla Paksha Shashti, Sundara Raja Swamy conducted a special puja, marking the day the deity revealed his divine form to devotees. This event led the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to initiate the annual “Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavams.”

“Sakshatkaram” refers to the deity’s holy appearance or Darshan. The Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavam is a three-day festival that includes the day of the deity’s appearance (Ashada Suddha Shasti) and the days immediately before and after. The first day of the celebration includes a procession of the deity, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, along with His consorts, on the Pedda Shesha Vahanam, from the temple to the Kalyana Mandapa, followed by Abhishekam and Unjal Seva in the evening. The second day features Hanumantha Vahana Seva, and the third day concludes with the Garuda Vahana Seva at night. These celebrations provide devotees the opportunity to witness the deity and receive blessings.
