Dear All,

 

Pranams!

 

aDiyEn would like to apologize at the fore front for the break in

postings on the elephant in the eastern direction in our sampradayam.

aDiyEn recently got married, and request you all to shower your

blessings. Let us further enjoy the vaibhavam of Sowrirajan in this

posting of the series.

 

There was an archakar who was highly devoted to this perumal. One fine

day, late in the evening a king planned to worship the Saranya

Mukundan. A family came to worship the perumal prior to his visit.

The Archakar gave the only garland on the perumal to that family as a

mark of blessing. Hearing about the king’s visit, the archakar

immediately went to that family’s house and got back that garland.

During the king’s visit, the archakar presented the same garland. The

next day, king noticed hair in that garland and rushed to the temple

for explanantion. The archakar told him that it was the hair of

perumal. On investigating further, the king found sowri kondai on

Perumal. In order to protect his bhakta, Thirukkannapuram Perumal

became Sowrirajan. This is one of the reasons given for his

thirunamam.

 

Pongal is another interested thing related to this Divya Desam. Once,

the entire place suffered from drought. The king had some pongal at

home. It was very late in the evening before he started eating it. He

stood in his house facing the direction of the Perumal and offered

that to him before consuming it. The next day, when the sannidhi was

opened, he was surprised to notice that pongal was spilled all along

the path towards Moolavar sannidhi, and also on the thirumukha

mandalam of Moolavar. Since then, Pongal is offered to this Perumal

every day in the evening. The preparation part is very interesting.

The ghee is made in front of Perumal. The pongal is made in the

proportion of 5:3:2 for rice, moong dhall (pasi paruppu) and ghee.

 

All the above vaibhavams are only good to hear, but never give us the

ultimate one, anubhavam, which is what we, the SriVaishnavites need.

Let us get into the reality, the anubhavam with the Azhwar’s pasurams

on Sowrirajan in the following postings.

 

aDiyEn,

ramanan Do You

Dear Sri Ramanan :

 

There is a version of the Sthala purANam that Archakar had sent the garland

worn by PerumAl to his fvorite Daasi's graham and got it back in a hurry ,

when he heard that the King was visiting . He offered that garland , which had

the Daasi's hair and got questioned by the king , when he blurted out that the hair

came from the Lord's Sowri and the compassionate Lord saved his archakan

from the king's anger by demonstrating that He had indeed Sowri

and was called thereafter Sowriraajan .
