Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
The Vimana is an object of worship, and the figures on them represent the different cultural beliefs of the time and these images with their divine appearance and grace arrest the attention of the Bhakta . Among these figures, there is one which is very important, If a Bhakta visits this famous shrine for the first time, he will find pilgrims going round the Pradakshana and suddenly stopping on the Northern side and offering prayers and it is for the Vimana Srinivasa. Tradition speaks that Vyasa tirtha, the great Saint of the Dvaita cult worshipped the
Even to this day the members of the Madhwa community collect themselves on the raised platform on the northern side of the Pradakshinam just facing the Vimana Srinivasa and read puranams and hold popular discourses. And a look at the silpis working at the Vimana is a sight so thrilling that when one enters the Mantapam wherein the gold guilding is done, one forgets himself and enjoys the divine suroundings, The workmen are highly skilled and they take this work as a divine order and work with special care, so that the Lord may amply reward them and their posterity with the divine Kataksha. There were many Silpi-sages whose names still live in the memories of South Indians and there are others even now, whose names have not come out, and who are fated " to lush unseen wasting their sweetness in the .desert air " for want of opportunities of showing their capacity in the present age and " they were all deserted by fortune." And South India does not lack in workmen. Of course, work of this high magnitude cannot be undertaken either by individuals or temples with low revenue. The government should come forward with its finances and avail the services of these great Silpis and renovate the temples and thereby establish perfection in the Universe as well as make use of " some of the most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India and in India only."
It is sincerely hoped that the renovation of the Ananda Nilaya Vimana will bring back peace and prosperity for the entire world, and pave the "way for the renovation of other temples.
Jai Srimannaryana !
