Dear BhAgavathAs :

 

Tomorrow is the birth of Margazhi Maasam that

is sacred to our sampradhAyam . The happenings at

the divya desam of SrivilliputthUr has been summarized by

Sri Venkat Iyengar .This divya desam is her piRantha Veedu;

let us see what is happening at Her Pukkaham (Srirangam ).

 

Dhanur Maasa AarAdhanam at Srirangam , Thiruadhyayanothsavam

( Pahal Patthu, Iraa Patthu , Sri Vaikunta EkAdasi,

NammAzhwAr MokshOthsavam )are the redeeming hall marks of this

sacred month of the Sri Sookthis of SooDikkoduttha NaachiyAr

( ThiruppAvai and NaachiyAr Thirumozhi )and the Thiruvaimozhi

of NammAzhwAr and other divya prabhndhams .

 

I will first give the overview of the festivities .

Sri Venkat Kanumala wishes to have a focused celebration

during the weeek end of December 28 at Sri RanganathA temple

at Pomona, NY on divya prabhandham recital(s). He will be announcing

the dates on the net .May I request all the BhakthAs in

the tristate area and within traveling distance to

join at Sri Ranganatha"s temple and receive the blessings of

the Divya dampathis?

 

Sri T.R.Govindarajan of NJ has already summarized the

adhyayana kramam during the Month of Margahzhi to

KurEsA's birthday . I will focus on the tradition at

Srirangam and sumamrize the events and the appropriate

paasurams that are recited during these days .Sriranga

Vaasis and those who are more familiar with the uthsava

kramams there are requested to correct any mistakes in
