It was one of the "Great Sundays" for me as i had the oppurtunity to visit Madhuramangalam - Sri Embar's birthplace. Worshipping / praying at Sri Embar's - Nephew of Udayavar Sri Ramanujar - Temple one can get rid of all problems concerning eyes. My grand parents has been telling me about this temple and this day i had the oppurtunity to go and it was a double bonanza with great dharshan of Sri Embar and also take blessings from the first Jeer of "Madhuramangalam Sri Emberumanar Jeer Math" 'Srimath Paramahasathyadhi Yathiraja Narayana Ramanuja Jeer Swamigal' who is on his Sathurmasa sangalpam from 18th Jul till 15th Sep'08.

My paternal grandparents have always been talking about this temple and my maternal grandfather is from this family jean of Sri Embar and it was like a home coming for me. I had taken my violin along with me and played few krithis in the sanadhi. We all had a pleasant day and returned home after having prasadam at the Math itself.
