Thiruvellarai Pundarikaksha Perumal

From Gunaseelam, we proceeded to Thiruvellarai Pundarikaaksha perumal temple. When we reached the temple, there was a slight drizzling . We went through the Dakshinaayana vaasal to see the magnificient perumal. The perumal is holding a Prayoga Chakra and here Thaayar gets the first preference in everything. We donated some money to this temple and did archana to the perumal. The Bhattar blessed my dad with a garland which was adorned to the god. He also blessed me for my marriage. We went and worshipped the Thaayar Sannidhi. Having a satisfied darshan we came out. Varuna Bhagavan showered his blessings in the form of rain. While coming back, we got a call from my father's friend asking us to come to Srirangam for a darshan. We told them that we are proceeding towards Anbil and will come around 2 PM. I was overjoyed that I can see Namperumal this time. We proceeded to Anbil from Thiruvellarai.

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...
