Dhanur masa sangramanam & Thiruppaliyezhuchi chanting

[Guest guest]

SRI:

 

The Srirangam temple Panchangam and also Pambu (VAkya) Panchangam list that the

birth of

Margazhi masam is at 26 Nazhi (Ravi) of December 16, 1999. Thiruppalliyezhuchi

(Thiruppavai)

is chanted from Dec 16, 1999. However, in Thirupathi temple, Thiruppaliyezhuchi

will be

recited from Dec 17, 1999. In Sri. Venkateswara temple, Bridgewater, NJ,

Thirupalliyezhuchi

and Thiruppavai will be recited from Dec 17, 1999.

 

I do not know why the difference is. Can someone knowledgeable explain this?

 

regards

 

T.R. Govindarajan.

Dear Sri Govindarajan:

 

Other than local temple traditions as a cause ,

I have no real explanation for the differences in

start date of the recitation of the first paasuram

of ThiruppAvai. There is no disagreement over

Dec 16 as the First day of Marghazhi (ChApa Ravi).

 

If one starts with "Maargazhi ThingaL" that day ,then

"Vangak Kadal" day is Jan 14 ( Makara ravi), the day

of BhOgi paNDikai (Revathi Thithi).

 

January 15 : Thai Maatha PiRappu , MahA sankarAnthi

January 16, Kanu Maattu Pongal day.

January 17, BhIshma EkAdasi

 

This sequence has a natural flow. At Thiruppathi ,

"Vangak kadal " day should fall on Makara SankarAnthi day

if they start "Margazhi ThingaL " on December 17( Marghazhi 2).

This may be a reason ( landing on MahA sankarAnthi day

for the last paasuram of ThiruppAvai ).It will be interesting

to hear from the natives of Thiruppathi about this tradition .
