Anadyayanam & adyayanam days in 1998 per Srirangam temple calendar

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavothamas:

 

 

This year (1998) per Srirangam temple calendar, anadyayam period starts on

December 10. To my knowledge, Thirupallandu will not be recited until

Thai-hastham, which is on Februray 5, 1999; during the suspension of recitation,

Nalayira Thaniyan will be recited. The recitation of Thirupalliyezhuchi

and Thiruppavai will start from Dhanur Masam (Dec 16, 1998).

Per the calendar, on December 18, the pasuram Nedunthandagam will be recited.

The Thiruvadyayanothsavam commences on (Margazhi/Prathama) December 19.

The ten days period to a day before Vaikunta Ekadesi known as Tirumozhi

Thirunal,is also known as Pakal-pathu. On the last day of pakal-pathu (Dec 28),

one can enjoy Mohini alankaram of Lord Ranganatha. The ira-pathu

utsavam starts from Vaikuntha Ekadesi day, December 29. The ten days period

from Ekadesi is also known as Thiruvaimozhi thirunal. During Thiruvadyayanam

days, the recitation of pasurams by araiyars with abhinayam is an enjoyable

experience. The ira-pathu utsavam ends with Thiruvaimozhi sattumurai with

Nammazhwar Moksham (January 7, 1999).

 

dAsan.
