The Centre of the Huge Sumukham Hall was

Vaazhai Marams, colourful Kodai Jaalraas and colourful big and small Silk Thombais.
A Gold coated Gopura Kalasam was placed on top of the Mandapam. Two huge 5' Brass Annam

placed below her. Kanakabhishekam was Duly Performed to Appa and Amma with 108
Gold Coins (small) bought by the Trio through Righteous Means. Their Hard
Earned Resources and Life Savings were used for the Historic Kanakabhishekam. It is not just a milligram
of Gold but it is Trio's Every Drop of Blood and Sweat. Apart from this 108
Gold, Silver, Copper lacquered small flowers (each 108) were also showered on
Eternal Couple. A very Great Punyam and Bhaagyam indeed to perform this Divine
Event for the Great Souls who left their mortal coils decades ago. Planning and
Preparations for the Sanctified Event were started many years back the Trio.
Mylapore Trio's
Life Time Dream Accomplished
Kanakabhiskhekam is a very Unusual and a
Unique Symbolic Act of Gratitude of the Trio to remember Sumukhi Rajasekharan who
had chiselled their lives along with innumerable people without caste and
creed.
Amarnath of the Mylapore Trio conceived
the very Thought and Idea of Kanakabhishekam to the Deified Couple during
Trio's Childhood days and had told Sumukhi Amma about it many times. But Appa
and Amma never had an iota of Wish nor Expectation for any kind of Gratitude or glorification by Others. Their
Life was Destined Only to Give for Others and Not to take back Anything in Return,
which They did to Their fullest means and satisfaction. Though Kanakabhishekam was
a Distant Dream and an Utopian Thinking at that point of time, The Trio was
able to do it with Amma Appa's Grace otherwise it would not have been possible
at all in their life time. It was "Avargal Arulaale Avargalukku Kanankabhishekam".
Surenendranath of The Mylapore Trio
designed 2 Small Diamond Studded Pendants which were Engraved and Embossed with
Lord Muruga's VEL and KODI for Sumukhi and Rajasekharan respectively. They were
very Innovative, Creative, Thoughtful, Meaningful, Artistic Pendants - an Apt Offering
to the Spiritual Couple who were great devotees of Lord Muruga. He felt that it
was a Great Bhaagyam indeed to design for Appa & Amma on this Sacred
Occasion.
Aparna of the Mylapore Trio did All
arrangements for the Historic Event i.e., Kanakabhishekam, Poojas, Abhishekams,
Archanais, Naivedhyams, Annadhanams at Temples, Mutts, School, Old-age Home and
at Sumukham House. She felt that it was a Historic Function and Once in A Life Time
Opportunity, which is the Rarest of the Rare Event to Remember and Perform for
Foster Parents, that too many decades after their demise.
