ThiruppallANDu Uthsavam at Sri VilliputthUr

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

It is delightful to read the ThirppallANDu

Uthsavam at Sri VilliputthUr as described by

Sri Venakt Iyengar .

 

Sri T.A.Varadhan of Colorado has sent us an

excellent summary of the origin of ThiruppallANDu,

the Taniyans for this important prabhandham that we

recite every day and the meanings of individual

paasurams of ThiruppallANDu . I have joined Sri Varahdan's

excellent write up as an attached file for your

enjoyment during this time of celebration of

the ThiruppallANDu uthsavam .I will send the

posting of Sri Varadhan separately since

it is too large as an attached file .

 

I will conclude this introductory note

with a visEsha dwAdasa naamAvaLi for PeriyAzhwAr

in correspondence with His twelve paasurams

of ThiruppallAndU :
