Eventful week at Thiruppullani

[Guest guest]

Dear Srivaishnava Bhandhus worldwide, Due to the Anugraham of Srimad Andavan, the last week was eventful. Normally on Adi Amaavaasai days the turn around of Brahmins will be very less (But on Thai Amaavaasai, Brahmins will be in thousands)But this year, the immediate presence of the Acharyan at Sethukkarai-Thiruppullani , Surya Grahanam added to that, several hundreds of Srivaishnava sevarthis turned up here and had the bhagyam of Grahana snanam at Sethukkarai with Srimad Andavan.Bruhaspathi Thiruppullani Sri Rangarajan (Nanga nallur) performed Grahana sankalpam to all assembled there. Then all the devotees had the vimochana snanam at Chakra theerththam along with Srimad Andavan. The photos are available at http://picasaweb.google.com/rajamragu/grahanasnanam and http://picasaweb.google.com/rajamragu/vimosnan Adi Pooram, the Thiruvavathara day of Sri Andal, was being celeberated in a grand scale at Thiruppullani till several years back. Due to various reasons, for the past few years, it is limited to Ekantha thirumanjanam to Sri Andal and that's all here. Learning this, the Acharya Sarva Bauman arranged to celeberate it as was done in the past. In the morning, Jagannatha Perumal was brought to Andal Sannidhi , the Divya Thampathis had a visesha alankara thirumanjanam and veku vilakshna goshti. In the evening Perumal and Andal had a Dolothsavam in front of Thayar Sannithi. The entire expenses were borne by Srimad Andavan. These photos are available at http://picasaweb.google.com/rajamragu/adipooram And yesterday a Rig vetha patasalai has been started here about which already reported in . Accepting the request of the Ramanathapuram Samasthanam Devasthanam, HH srimad Andavan has ordered for a new Garuda Vahanam for Thiruppullani Temple at a cost of nearly Rupees one lakh and the work is in progress. Thiruppullani residents , enjoying the sowlabyam of HH daily and overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Ashramam kainkaryaparals, are definitely great bhagyasalis.dasan,T.Raguveeradayal
