Smt. Parimala Rangarajan had a question on the

significance of Pongal day for Sri Vaishnavas.

Pongal day is also Makara Sankaranthi day or

the day ,when Utarayana Punya Kalam starts.

This is the day , when the Semiannual

solistice happens and the Sun

progresses North of the equator.

>From Sri Vaishnava point of view, it is the day

of Srivilliputtur AandaL Neerata Utsava Sarru.

Thiruppavai Sarrumurai day falls on this day as well

at Srirangam and other Vaishnava Temples. If

Margazhi is sacred for Thiruppavai, one can say that

Thai is famous for Nacchiyar Thirumozhi.It begins

with "Thai Oru Thingalum Tarai Vilakki----

Venkatavarkkennai VitikkiRRiyeh ". This Year

Thai First and Thingal Kizhamai come together

and has thus a strong association with AandaaL's

Nacchiyar Thrumozhi , In these 143 pasurams,

AandaaL prays to Kama Deve to Unite her

with Sri Venkatesa, expresses her feelings

exquisitely about union with the Lord and finally

sees him in Brindhavanam and explains that

divine darsanam to her friends. That is the added

significance this Year.

>From Jyothisham point of view, there is elaborate

symbolism on the Makara Sankaranthi Murthy(MSM) .

That is used to predict number of happenings for

the different sectors of Society. This Year's MSM's

name is Duvaankshi.
