Thanks to Dinamani & Sri Matam for the article.
Sri Kanchi Matam is the only matam that has all rights and associated with Rameswaram Temple. HH Pudhu Periyava is in Rameswaram attending kumbabishekam events during this week. On behalf of Sri Matam, this golden nagabaranam was contributed to adorn the Lord.
Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya Sankara!

Kindly understand nobody can belittle Kanchi Kama Koti Mutt of Its Acharyas. This Mutt is the Life Breath of Adi Sankara Bhagavath Paadal only.. Never give any importance to those things. Kanchi Mutt is a Ever flowing Perinial Jeeva Nadhi. Many more great seers will adorn the seats in the years to come. Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya Sankara.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGGfAj8GoAk – This video clearly shoes that the bhattars taking periyavas’ asirvadham for poornahudhi, periyava doing pooja in yagasalai and also seated prominently in yagasala, the people with him saying that periyava did abhishegam with his own hands to ramanatha swamy and adorned the kavacham with his own hands.
But there is a video of him doing puja to kalasams in yaga salai and also coming out after doing ganga abhishegam.
Hara Hara Shankara, Jaya Jaya Shankara! Maha Periyava ThiruvadigaLe CharaNam! May sri Periyava Bless us all!
That is a great news. Do we have pictures of the event with Pujya sri Periyava? can someone post them?
Unfortunately and painfully, the news is not correct. My brother and his wife’s cousin were camping in Rameshwaram for more than a week . There are all in deep anguish seeing how no proper respect was paid to the Sri Matam’s entourage throughout. Did not want to post about that till someone also sent me a news report on that as below:
As the news item also reads, devotees were shocked.

Rameswaram: Even as the consecration of the Sri Ramanathaswamy temple here was performed on a grand scale with utmost religious fervour on Wednesday, a controversy brewed over the alleged ‘sidelining’ by the temple authorities of the visiting Sankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt, Sri Jayendra Saraswathy.
While the pre-consecration rituals including the ‘yaga saala pujas’ that commenced on Jan. 15 with invocations to Lord Ganesh (Vigneswara Puja), went off very well in front of the ‘Amman’ shrine over the past four days, the seer attended the ‘pujas’ on January 19. But “due respects were not accorded to the Kanchi seer”, sources said. Instead, temple functionaries kept a tab on his movement, which deeply hurt the Kanchi seer, sources said.
Consequently, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi on Wednesday morning kept away from the main consecration function.
After a brief meeting with Kanchi mutt functionaries here in the afternoon, the acharya merely went up to the ‘Artha Mandapa’ in front of the presiding deity’s sanctum, handed over the golden ‘Naaga Kavasam’ (as gift to adorn the hood of the Shiva Linga) to the temple priest, offered prayers to the Lord and quickly left for Kancheepuram. The acharya’s non-participation in the main function left devotees shocked.
