Recently He and his son have travelled far north to Muktinatha (Nepal), one of the famous 108 Divya Desa Ksetra, to install 6 Deities of the holy saints "Alwars" made from heavy granite. They did the task of ordering them in south india by a stapathy (chiseler in forms of God) and transporting them up to Nepal. Finally the installation took place on this holy spot, on a altitude of 3800 Meter. Those Alwars a called the great devotees of Lord Vishnu from the 3. century BC, who have travelled all over Bharat Varsa in those days. Their Tamil prayers are still chanted today in all south indian Vishnu Temples, where Sri Ramanuja has set up the worship according to Pancaratra Agamas. Here you see the deities of Namalwar, Periyaralwar, Andal devi (female saint!),Tirumangai Alwar, Sri Ramanujacarya and Manavali Mahamuni. I will talk later on those great personalities. The picture i have made last year outside the Muktinatha Temple, next to the Alwar Pillar (a pillar showing all the prayers of the Alwars in favour of Lord Muktinatha) were i have found few very special Saligramas lying around. Next to it is the spot were the 6 Alwar Deities will be installed.
