Ready for Azhagiya Singar's neeraattam

After long hours of intensive activity starting around 4:30 a.m., at the conclusion of Ijjai at around 2:00 p.m., Srimad Azhagiya Singar finally gets some rest. The phone is kept disconnected lest Srimad Azhagiya Singar is disturbed. Most kainkaryaparas also take a nap at this time. As you walk around the Sri Matam we see a stark contrast to the hectic activities just a few hours earlier. When camped at Selaiyur since it is just outside Chennai even some of the kainkaryaparas are gone, those with families nearby.

Just after about an hour Srimad Azhagiya Singar is up and getting ready for Sri Bhashya Kalakshepam. The pupils also gather around near the Ashramam. The class consists of Kainkaryaparas who have completed the preqequisite study. A few irregulars also sit in.

The kalakshEpam begins with first Srimad Azhagiya Singar instructing one of the pupils to read the relevant pages of the text. Then, Srimad Azhagiya Singar goes over each soothram carefylly and explains it. The class goes on for about couple of hours.

It is about 5:30 p.m. A few sishyas are already gathering around to get Srimad Azhagiya Singar’s blessings. After the Sri Bhashya kalakshepam is over they go in for an audience with Srimad Azhagiya Singar. After this, Srimad Azhagiya Singar spends a few minutes going over the newspapers. This is usually a good time call from the U.S. or Singapore to have a few words with Srimad Azhagiya Singar. Little after 6:00 p.m. Srimad Azhagiya Singar is ready for “neerAttam” and anushtanam.
