Here is what Sri T.V. Venkat of Tiruvallikkeni wrote last year

on this subject:

 

 

SrimathE NArAyaNAya namaha

 

With regards to the ongoing discussions on the chanting of the divya

prabhandams during the anadhyayana kAlam, I would like to add my two

cents worth.

 

Whatever I am writing is with respect to the tradition being

followed in ThiruvallikkENi. This is more or less the same in

Thiruatthigiri also.

 

On the day of ThirukkArthikai after the PurappAdu and ThailakkAppu, the

person who says the kaTTiyam will read the paTTOlai from PerumAL to

NammAzhwAR. The brief content of the paTTOlai is " I and my two

NAcchiyArs will be seated in the simmAsanam during the pagal patthu

and rAppathu utsavam days and will listen to all the prabhandams.

Till then, no one should recite or even think (vAiyinAl OdhAmalum,

manatthinAl ninaikkAmalum..) about them". This is perumAL's niyamanam

to NammAzhwAr.

 

Then starting the next day, until pagal patthu starts, none of the

prabhandams will be recited. During the nityapadis only UpadEsa

ratnamAlai is recited. Also ThiruvAimozhi nooRRandhAdhi is recited on

the ThiruvAdhirai and Moolam days.

 

Even ThiruppallANDu and ThiruppaLLiyezhuchi are not to be recited.

Exemption is only during the Dhanur mAsam days. However during the

SAtrumurai, the four + 8 verses of ThiruppallANDu are not recited.

ThiruppAvai is recited once again only during the Dhanur mAsam.

 

After the IyarppA SAtrumurai is over, the next day,

ThiruppallANDu thodakkam will be done and then the regular recitation

of all the prabhandams will continue in the Temple. However, to

recite the same in our houses we are to wait till Thai mAsam Hasta

Natchathiram ( which our KooratthAzhwAr's SAtrumurai).

 

This is the brief note about the Chanting of Prabhandams during the

anadyayana days which is being followed in ThiruvallikkENi.

I feel a little bit sad about this practice, for no other reason

other than that Thondaradippodi Alvar and Thiruppaan Alvar, whose

thirunakshatrams fall during this period, do not have the privilege

of having their Prabandhams recited on their birthdays.

You are very right. However atleast ThiruppANAzhwAr gets his chance

once, when ThirukkArthigai falls on RohiNi Nakshatram day. But, yes,

Thondaradippodi AzhwAr never has this chance. Well, it is all

BhagavadhAgnyA, Bhagavadhkainkaryaroopam.
