Kulasekara aazhvaar

[Guest guest]

Sunday, March 12th, 1995, is kulasEkaraazhvaar's thiru

nakshatthiram (maasi punar poosam). This aazhvaar

declares sri vaishnavam as theethil nanneRi in his

perumaaL thiru mozhi (3.5). His intense devotion

towards Lord Ramaa is well known, for he is said to

have ordered his army to march to Janastthaanam to

assist Rama who fought single handedly against Karan

and his army. This aazhvaar is also said to have put his

hand into a pot with a cobra in it, to prove the innocence

of sri vasihnavaas wrongly and maliciously accused of

theft. The following perumaaL thiru mozhi thanian by

maNakkaal nambi celebrates this.
