Anbil - Vadhivazhagiya Nambi Perumal

After having a wonderful darshan in Thiruvellarai, we proceeded to Anbil. I wanted to visit this stalam when I visited Kumbakonam, but couldnt visit because it was far off from Kumbakonam. The way to Anbil was really beautiful. For a person like me who grew up in a city, these places were really heaven as they were silent and peaceful. Anbil temple is really a very small temple. When we entered the temple, I could see lot of Sabarimala Bhaktas taking up irumudi. We went to the Moolavar Sannidhi and saw the enchanting Vadivazhagiva Nambi. I was speechless to see such a beautiful perumal and was just chanting the ashtaaksharam mantram. We then moved towards the Thaayar Sannidhi and prayed to the goddess. This temple needs renovation and some of us should come forward to contribute for the same. The Bhattar was so helpful and told us about the Thiruanbil Shetra puranam. Then, we started back to Trichy for lunch.

Thiruppavai - Avatharikai

Avatharikai Asmad Acharyan Thiruvadigale Saranam All of our Poorvacharya granthams avatharikai has a common set of framework Avatharikai deals with three major set in the framework. 1.        Katru vailakshyantam – Lakshanam of the Kartha or the author 2.        Vishaya vailakshyantam – The lakshanam of the subject that is being discussed 3.        Prabhanda vailakshyantam – The lakshanam of the prabandam as a whole. This framework is applicable to all Sri vaishnava granthas and undergoes strict reconciliation with the Pramaanas (or the basic axioms in Vedas). At no point of time, can a prabhandam or the vishayam deviate from the pramaanas. It is an important yardstick for all granthas and its vishayam. Let’s look at Thiruppavai in these frameworks. Katru Vailakshyanyam                 Aandal – A...

Thiruppavai - The epitome of Bhakti and Saranagathi

            The works of Azhwars are collectively known as Naalayira Divya Prabandham. Out of the 12 azhwars, one azhwar is a little girl who lived in this Bhooloka no more than 10 years. In these 10 years, she sang 2 prabandas, Tiruppavai and Naachiyar Thirumozhi. Tiruppavai is hailed to be one of the important text in the Sri Vaishnava Ramanuja Sampradaya and is included in Nithya anu sandhaanam.                   Aandal was named Kothai by birth and she was found under Tulasi maadam in the garden of Periazhwar. She was born Ayonija  which means without a stay in human womb. She is termed to be the amsam of Bhooma Devi and her sole purpose of her birth is to make sure that she gives us the meaning of Varaha Charama sloka through her tamizh pasurams. Tiruppavai is said to "Vedham anaithukkum vithu" which means it is the root of Vedas. The meaning of Vedas are enshrined and provided in easy...
