AdyayanaUtsavam and Anadhyayana Kalam: Information, background and reasons

[Guest guest]

sri:

Dear and respected devotees: Please accept my humble pranam:

 

====================================================

AdyayanaUtsavam and Anadhyayana Kalam:

Information, background and reasons

====================================================

Azhvar's Prabhandam (Arulicheyal) is The Dravida Vedam.

The LORD has assigned the Anadhyayana Kala to be followed by HIS devotees.

 

After Thirumangai Azhvar Started the AdyayanaUtsavam, LORD Ranganatha

commanded the Dravida Veda equal status as Samskrita Veda.

 

PS: Dravida Veda is granted equal status as Samskrita Veda, but is in fact even

a

step higher for many, for the following reasons:

=> the right to Chant Dravida Veda is open to all.

=> the meanings in Dravida Veda are direct, clear and concise.

 

The LORD assigned Anadhyayana Kalam, during which time no one should recite the

Dravida Vedam, except when it is chanted in Adyayana Utsavam for the LORD.

================================================================

 

In all the Dhivya Desams that follow tradition, Chanting of Dravida

Veda is restricted during the anadhyayana kalam, as per the Command

of the LORD.

 

Tradition being followed in Srirangam, Kanchee Varadarajar and all

Kanchee Kshetrams,Thirumalai, Thirunaryanapuram, Thiruvallikeni,

and other Dhivya Desams : -

 

On the day of Thirukkarthikai after the Purappadu and Thailakkappu,

the pattolai is read from LORD to Nammazhvar.

 

The LORD commands ,

"I and my two Nacchiyars will be seated in the simmasana during the

pagal patthu and rappathu utsavam days and will listen to all the prabhandams.

 

Till then, no one should recite them". This is LORD's command.

 

Then starting the next day, none of the Azhvar prabhandams

are recited.

 

During the daily recitals (nityapadis) only UpadesaRatnamalai is

recited. Thiruvaimozhi Noothandhadhi is recited on the

Thiruvadhirai and ThiruMoolam days.

 

During the Satrumurai, the four + 8 verses of Thiruppallandu are

not recited.

 

==============================================

Exemption is only during the Dhanur masam days. (Margazhi)

==============================================

ThiruppAvai is recited during the Dhanur masam.

 

After the Iyarppa Satthumurai is over, Thiruppallandu thodakkam is be done and

then the regular recitation of all the prabhandams continues in the Temples.

===================================================================

Devotees who perform Nitya Aradhana at Homes, wait till Thai masam

Hasta Nakshatram before resuming all Dravida Veda Chantings at home.
