Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Dear All, We are receiving mails about Bhagavath Raamanuja Thirunakshathram Celebrations. He is also known as Godhahrajaa. The "elder brother " of Andal. Readers may recall the incident that they may have read or heard about.Sri Ramanuja was reciting paasuram of Nacchiyar Thirumozhi , Naaru Narum Pozhil , as he approached Thirumalirumcholai on his way to Srivilliputhur. In that pasuram, Andal desires to offer a hundred vessels of butter and a hundred more vessels of Kshirannam to Lord Sundararaja of Thirumalirumcholai. Suddenly ,he wondered whether Andal's desire was fulfilled. Therefore he took on the task of fulfilling her wish and offered the Naivedhyam of Butter and Kshirannam in hundred vessels each. KSHIRANNAM Raw Rice 200 gms water 6 Cups Jaggery 500 gms ( crushed) Ghee 2 Tblsps Coconut 2Tblsp ( Grated) Cardamom 1 tsp Raisins 1Tblsps Milk 2 Cups Soak rice for ½ hour. Pour water in a cooking vessel and let it simmer. When it starts to boil, add the rice. When the rice is almost cooked add jaggery. Let it cook for sometime Fry cashew nuts,raisins, and coconut , and add these. Add cardamom powder to it and mix well. You can also try a varation chop bananas into small rounds and add them. Let simmer for 5 minutes. I would like te readers to suggest any variation that they can or any other method. I read somewhere that if one dreams of eating 'Ksheerannam" it indicates financial gain. If one dreams of sitting in the middle of a pond and of eating Ksheerannam served in a lotus leaf, it is an indication that one will have Raja Yoga or a very fortune phase in his life.
