“Yathoktakari” “sonnavannam seidha perumal “in Tamil translates to “the lord who did as said” what did He do? And who asked to do the same? The well-known story is of one of the twelve azhvars, thirumazhisaipiran asking the Lord of the divyadesam thiruvekka in Kanchipuram to follow who was himself following his disciple who was sent out of kingdom by the king since he refused to sing the praise of the king. Without any second thought yathotakari perumal rolled his serpant bed and followed azhvar and his disciple. The next day when the king realizing his mistake came and apologised azhvar and his disciple decided to come back and instructed perumal accordingly. Perumal without second word followed suit and while reclining back just changed the direction to remind us of the wonderful episode even today. Though this story is more commonly known how did perumal come to divyadesam and when?
When we say Kanchipuram or Thirukachchi only Devaperumal, Varadarajan comes to all our minds. But even before Varadarajan came out of the yaga kundam of Brahma, vegasethu perumal gave his divya darshan to all. Enraged by Brahma performing a yagna in her absence Saraswathi Devi took the form of the river vegavathi and flowed with great vigour to wash out the yagasala. On request of Brahma, perumal became vegasethu (bridge across the river vegavathi) and reclined in the way of vegavathi. Blessed with the divine darshan of perumal, Saraswathi realised her mistake and slowed down. Then brahma continued his yaga and only from that yaga kunda Varadaraja perumal appeared.
That divine temple of yathotakari/vegasethu perumal is under renovation and needs the liberal support from asthikas.
We are happy to report that we have collected the amount required to complete the renovation. We whole heartedly thank everyone for their support.

Letter from a Kainkaryapara Friend
The following letter was written to us by a volunteer who along with a few friends from college helped with the Tirunandavana(sacred garden) kainkaryam at Sri Kamalavalli Nāyika sametha Sri Appāla Ranganāthaswāmi Devasthanam, Koviladi (Thirupper Nagar) on 25th August 2013.

Subject: Trip to Koviladi
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha
Dear VEDICS Foundation volunteers,
Thanks for organizing the trip to Koviladi. It was indeed a great experience to take part in the grand scheme of helping establish a garden and supply flowers to the divyadesam kovil. It was a unique experience for all of us as we have never attempted to physically help in gardens, let alone in a divyadesam.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the whole day was the bath in the Cauvery river. All of us miss an experience like this since we haven't got the chance in a long time because of growing up in a city and moving off to college.
The bhagavathar was also very kind and helpful and taught us first-timers how and what is required to be done when going about setting up a garden. He seemed a very experienced person and deftly handled a lot of difficult tasks and gave us plenty of advice and opportunities to help him.
The finishing touch was sharing our favourite Perumal, divyadesa, acharya anubhavams in the cool shade of the canopy built next to the garden. The more fun information was sharing the prasadams that everyone enjoyed to offer their perumals at home and their favorite portions of arulicheyal and stotra padams. We finished by going over the story of Arulala Perumal Emperumanar from the Arayirapadi Guruparampara Prabhavam, whose life is a living example of humility, deep learning and great devotion - all are values which we youngsters should specially aspire towards.
Fruits and refreshments offered to the Perumal were given to us at the end in plenty and we hope to get some more anubhavams, prasadams and opportunities to serve in future.
