Sriperumbudur - koil samprathayam

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Vaishnava perunthagayeer

 

Yesterday adiyen got the bhagyam of being at sri perumbudur during

Thirumanjanam and noticed that before start of thirumanjanam -

initially Paanagam and vadaiparuppu has been offerred to perumal and

distributed to aasthikas. One of the devotee was telling that - at

Sriperumbudur - thirumanjanam shall be performed only after offering

something to Emberuman and the Lord. Is it so? if yes, what is the

Thaathparyam involved in this.

 

Secondly, adiyen has offered Sarkarai pongal Thaligai for emberumaan

and was advised to be at the temple for performing darshan and

collection of prasadam after offering to HIM. I was told to bring

only a small vessel for prasadam - rest of the Upacharam for

Archana's will be included in the money gave for Thaligai.

 

Though i was well in time, there was no one to guide me the

formalities. As i was told archanai will be conducted and no

Upacharam to be carried by the upayadar .. incidentally i did not

bring any upacharam for performing archana except Ghee and jasmine.

When adiyen approached the archagar to perform archanao - i was

asked "whether i have any Upacharam to be offerred for performing

archana" when i told him - what i was informed while booking the

ofering ... he was telling me that "if you offer for Thaligai it is

only for Thaligai - and you have to bring upacharam for archana and

all separately. The people in the office - when approached were

very reckless in answering - but were in a hurry to ask me whether

prasadam shall be distributed at the Koshti fully or whether such

shall be given back to me fully!!!

 

I felt very bad on the behaviour (sorry to say this here) and

advised them to distribute entire thing in the Koshti after

satrumurai . Then one archagar was kind enough to tell me that int

his temple... lots of property is there - which is misused and the

Koil office also does not care to inform PUBLIC the real formalities

and the facilities. etc. etc.

 

I had great darshan and felt I was blessed.

But becoz of lack of info. from the temple authorities - i was made

to run back for procuring Upacharams like coconut - fruits, etc. for

archanai - apart from paying for Thaligai. NO matter to buy - If i

was informed properly - i need not have run here and there and feel

bit shame ...

 

While intimating to one of the officer at the Temple Office, he was

simply smiling at me and said it is all sagajam here......
