Significance of Purattasi Saturday and mA vaLakku

[Guest guest]

Namo Narayana,

 

I would like to know the significance of lighting the

mA vaLakku on PorattAssi Saturday.

 

Is there any story associated with it? Can someone

please clarify?

Dear Srimathi Yamini Suresh:

 

PurattAsi Saturdays and PurarattAsi SravaNam

day ( the avathAra dinam ) of Lord VenkatEsa is

very dear to bhakthAs of the Lord of Seven hills.

 

The Maa ViLakku festival at home observed by

the ladies of the house is a celebration of the glories

of the Lord on this special Month . With Bhakthi

and sraddhai , the ladies and the KanyAs of the house

prepare the flower , make a little mound in the shape

of Venkatam hills , make a space for ghee and light

the wick and at the end of the burning of the wick

accept that the Lord has reached His aasthaanam

from one's home ,where He was invited to accept

the worship.

 

This is a prArTanai for fulfilment of wishes by the ladies

for SoubhAgyams to the members of the family and

for marriage fulfilment for the unmarried young women .

 

The key aspect of this celebration is the special prayerful

worship of the Lord of the Universe , who stands on

top of the Venkatam hills listening to Govindha nAma

sankeerthanam from all corners oft he world.

 

NamO VenkatEsAya,

V.Sadagopan .

SRI:

Srimathe Ramanjuya Namaha.

Narayana Narayana Narayana.

 

Dear Bhagavathas,

 

Further to what has been said and what is known to many reg the

significance of the Purattasi Sanikkizhamai Maavilakku, I hv the following

to say :

 

This is an Age Old Tradition. God of The Seven Hills, Who Stands all the

time to Bless His Bhakthas during the Kali Yuga, wants to get as close to

them as possible. It is very difficult for all, especially the old,

disabled, financially weak, the children etc to visit the GREAT ABODE OF

LORD VENKATESWARA.

 

So our elders have found many easy and practical methods of making it

possible for ALL to have the Darsan of The Lord Venkateswara.

 

In the Purattasi Satuday Maavilakku function the All Merciful Lord is

invited to visit our homes in the JYOTHI SWARUPA and Bless all who are not

able to visit the Seven Hills. The Maavilakku is verily the Lord and all

of us can have the Divya Darsanam of Sri Ezhumalai Andavan and seek His

Blessings for the entire Humanity. This tradition enters the Blood of the

Children who follow this path of devotion when they become elders.

 

When the Maavilakku is over we chant "GOVINDA GOVINDA GOVINDA " and do

all necessary UPACHAARAMS and The Lord Returns to His Abode very happily

for having been able to Bless His Bhaktas.

 

This is a Great Experience to me from my childhood, as it wud be for many

others.

 

We Pray The Gracious Govinda to Bless All who seek His Blessings with Good

Health & Happiness and the sense to serve all those unfortunate people who

need our help. Helping the Needy is indeed Service to The Lord.

 

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,

 

Kombur Vankipuram Madhavan.
