Guest guest Posted April 16, 1998 Report Share Posted April 16, 1998 Sri Perundevi Sametha Sri PeraruLalan Thiruvadigale CharaNam Wish you all a VERY HAPPY and PROSPEROUS TAMIL NEW YEAR +ACE- Iam grateful to be part of this list and wish to thank every one for their tireless efforts. It looked like it was midnight. Everybody was fast asleep. Where ? On the front yard, front of the house, Thinnai and on the pavement side walk wherever. You heard some of them getting up many of them lots of people. They are awakened by a the divine sounds. How gifted they should be ? Each one is at a different level of sleep, some fully wake and some half a sleep. Then all the brightness is focussed on the face and 4 vedas (Chatur Marai) is produced not from human mouth but from the MANI. It is rare sight ThollukuEniYAnil (sweet for the shoulder) not only for the shoulder also for the heart (ManathukuEniYAn) HE is moving like a swift river. Now you can here ELLA ELLA (keep going) the Battar or Fit Person is chanting these words. It is all the beauty ALwars enjoyed and ACharyas wondered. We can also get to enjoy +ACE- EnnArangathinamudhar, Kuzhal Azhagar, Vai Azhagar , KAnnazhagar, Koppuzhil Ezhu kamala Poovazhagar EmmAnar. Kolan KariyaPiran, Polinthu Ninra Piran, Yezhu Esaiyin Suvai, Kannul Nin AgalAn , En Amudhinai Kanda kaNgal MaRonRinai KANave. The list goes on. You can see all in one. Thuya AMudhai Parugi Parugi (keep drinking the sweet nectar) MAya Piravi Myarvaruppene If you think, you want to See Emberuman (God) dont get directions for Srivaikuntam. (Vandhavar Yethir KoLa MAA Mani Mandapathu Andhamil PErin Bathu ADiya rodu Erunthamai ) - Living with Nitya suris in eternal bliss Ulagil Archavatharam Elithu Enran (Archavatharam is easier) Those who have NOT experienced will say Kanchi Garuda Sevai. Those who had the darshan of the Lord of Kanchipuram going to get into the Chariot (Theru) will have a different opinion. +ACI-Emayor Thalaivan+ACI- Perumal is adorned with SigathAdai (Ther Kondai) (which is a pink colored silk with zari wound around the kritam to make it very elegant nd on the top of it would have a thilakam, sun and moon shaped ornaments) Then all the jewels the adoring Chanku, Chakaram, Abhaya Hastham, Gadhai all covered with gems. And innumerable necklaces, ThirumAL Lakshmi (Agalgillen ERayummenru Alarmel Mangai URAI MARBAN) Thanga Poonal, ThiruVala Vattam and IMMpadaiThali - Dont believe me I am a cheater. I have a picture of my beatiful Lord in front of me. But in this picture HE is adored with Chowri (looks like real hair) The time is in the neighborhood of 2.00 AM. Thivatti (torch - rags dipped in oil and lighted) also serves as the lights. He starts from Sannithi and does not stop for any one or anything . Only time is the people who carry HIM may changeover. Goes via Thirukachi Nambi Street and Chetty st. and Arsham pettai (basically a straight running long street) Like KArar Kadal VaNan Pin Pona Nenjamum many people follow him unable to get back to sleep. You might be wondering why I am wrting this now ? Because this year Sri Parthasarathy Perumal Garda Sevai was yesterday (Tamil New Years) This is the time me and my friends bagavathas would be making plans for going over to Kanchi for Sri Varadaraja Perumal 's Uthsavam which falls in May 15 - Jun 15 VAIKASI. It is a big deal for us. (I grew up in Triplicane) By the way we have 5 Uthsavams for 5 Emberumans in Triplicane Sri Parthasarathy Temple in addition to the Nityotsavams, Pakshotsavam, Vasanthotsavam, Pavithra uthsavam, Kodai uthsavam, Adhyayana utsavam and utsavams for Alwars and Acharyas. It is very rare to find something like this. Thus the Lord Vardharajan gets into the Theru (chariot). Iam sure many of our friends like Sri Varadhan would have enjoyed this Vaibhavam many a times.
