sri viLAnchOlai piLLai is one of the sishyAs of sri piLLai lOkAchAriar.<\/p>\n
His dAshya nAmam is \u2018nalam thigazh nArAyANa dhAsar\u2019<\/b>.<\/p>\n
His place of birth is the village of \u2018ARanUr\u2019 near thiruvanandhapuram.<\/p>\n
This is in the shores of a river called \u2018karaimanai\u2019.<\/p>\n
His thirunakshathiram falls on aippasi uthirattAdhi<\/b> (Saturday October 27 in 2012, Nandhana).<\/p>\n
He was born in EEzhava kulam. Due to his kulam he was not able to go inside the temple, so he used to climb \u2018viLam\u2019 trees in his village to get darshan of the gOpuram of thiruvanandhapuram anantha padmanABhan temple, and do mangaLasAsanam.<\/p>\n

He was happy to see the sishyA that he has been waiting for.<\/p>\n He gave the deep meanings of srI vachana BhUshaNam to thiruvAimOzhi piLLai<\/a>.\u00a0 In addition he wrote 7 pasurams that is saptha gAThai which gives the essence of srI vachana bhUshaNam, and explained about saptha gAthai too to thiruvAimOzhi piLLai<\/a>.<\/p>\n This was a prime example for \u2018kodumin koNmin\u2019 as said by thONdaradip podi AzhwAr<\/a> \u2013 viLanchOlai piLLai of EEzha kulam gave, and\u00a0thiruvAimOzhi piLLai<\/a> of brahmin kulam received, the essence of sri vaishNavam.<\/p>\n After some time, thiruvAimOzhi piLLai took leave from viLAnchOlai piLLai, and went on to become a dharsana pravarthakar of srI rAmAnuja dharisanam.<\/p>\n One day namboodhris were doing thiruvArAdhanam to anantha padmanAbhan, and viLanchOlai piLLai entered the temple through east entrance; cross the dhwaja sthambham; went past narasimhar, and entered through the north entrance of sanctum sanctOrum (garbha gruham), climbed the stairs near \u2018ORRai kal maNdapam\u2019, and out of the three windows that give sEvai to peruman, he stood near the window that gives dharshan to His lotus feet.<\/p>\n When namboodhiris saw this, according to the custom of the time, did not want to be in the sanctum sanctorum due to the cast of viLanchOlai piLLai and so they closed the doors of the sannidhi, and started to go out of the temple.<\/p>\n At the same time, some of the local sishyas of viLanchOlai piLLai approached the temple and announced that their AchAryan viLAnchOlai piLLAi has reached the thiruvadi of his AchAryar piLLai lOkachariar!! And they wanted \u2018thiru pariyattam, and flower garlands\u2019 from perumAn, for the charama thirumEni of viLAnchOlai piLLai!! They stood near the temple entrance and were reciting irAmanusa nUtrandhAdhi iyal etc.<\/p>\n When namboodhris saw this, they were surprized about the happenings earlier near the sanctum sanctOrum and informed about this to every one!<\/p>\n Like how thiruppANAzhvAr reached the thiruvadi of pEriya pErumAL in pEriya kOil, here viLAnchOlai piLLai had reached the thiruvadi of anantha padmanAbhan!<\/p>\n thiruvAimOzhi piLLai after hearing this news, did all charama kainkaryams that sishyas would do for their AchAryan, and did thiruvadhyayanam too in a complete manner.\u00a0 Reminds us of pEriya nambi\u2019s kainkaryam to mAranEri nambi.<\/p>\n His thirunakshathiram of aippasi uthirattAdi<\/b>, and it falls on Saturday, October 27, in nandhana year, 2012<\/b>.<\/p>\n Following was given by the sishyas who celebrated the greatness of thiruvAimozhi piLLAi having sishya bhAvam towards viLAnchOlai piLLai.<\/p>\n patRAdha engaL maNavALa yOgi padham paNindhOn \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb3\u0baf\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bbf \u0baa\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd Following vAzhi was given by thiruvAimozhi piLLAi on viLanchOlai piLLai.<\/p>\n vAzhi nalam thikazh nAraNathAdhan aruL \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bbf \u0ba8\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bb4\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb3\u0bcd 1. \u201cmannu pugazh maNavALa mAmunivan\u201d, irA. arangarAjan, 2011.<\/p>\n 2. \u201cnithAyAnusandhAnam\u201d from srI vaishnava srI; srI sudharsanar trust.<\/p>\n 3. yathIndrapravaNa prabhAvam by srI piLLailOkam jIyar, published by Sri.
