[Vaideekam] The Name of the New year , SarvadhAri: Some Reflections

[Guest guest]

To Sri Sadagopan Swamin,

 

Swamin,

 

You have been very kind to educate one and all about various aspects of our

sishtaacharam and anushtaanam. The explanation you have given for the name of

the present year is extremely educative.

 

But then I earnestly seek your explanation for the next year also, i.e.

Virodhi. In fact your admirers would request you to compile the meanings of all

the 60 names of the Tamil Year and let the ignorant know how all of them link

with each other giving a sequential meaning for the entire circle of sixty

years. I am sure, when our ancestors have named these years with the names we

know, there must be some meaning behind each and there must be a holistic unity

in these names.

 

Request you kindly to consider this request for giving us enlightenment.

Dear Sriman Sadagopachar swmain,

take your own time to compile this and put it as a separate article if possible,

which will be very much useful for future reference.

 

Also it will be convenient to take the required portion of current year text to

circulate in groups every year.

SrI:

 

Daer Sriman RaghunAthan & Sri

Vaasu VaadhyAr Swamy :

 

Thank you both for your mails .

I will do my best to create a

list of articles on the Vedic and

PurANic significance of the names of

60 years in the Hindu calendar starting

from Prabhava and ending with Akshaya

Samvathsaram .

 

I will try to release as an ebook in

the Ahobilavalli or a future ebook

series . PramANams have to be

backed up by yukthi Vaadham in

some cases since some of the names of

Samvathsarams could be abbreviated .

versions of biggger tatthvams .

 

Vaikunta Vaasi Sevaa SwamigaL , a great

Swamy Desika Bhakthar has posted brief

essays on some of these in past years . I do not have

them . Sriman Anbil Ramaswamy , owner-Moderator

of Sri Ranga Sri might have some of them .

Sri Ghanta Mani , son of Sri SevA Swamy also

might have some of these posted article .

I will ask Sriman Anbil Sawmy and Sri Ganta Mani .

 

Anyone else having this information

from previous years' SevA magazine

is also requested to contact me .

I would like to request your help to have access

to them before starting on this kaimkaryam .

 

Regarding your immediate question on the significance

of the name of the next Samvathsaram , " VirOdhi ",

you can view it as a short notation for Moksha PrApthi

VIRODHI vargam and UpAya anushtAnam to overcome

them . Sundara Simham book #12 ( Aruttha Panchakam/

Artha Panchakam) and Sundara Simham #107 ( VirOdha

ParihAram) have lot of relevant materials , which need

summarization later .

Respected Sri Sadagopan,

Indeed, let us all offer our humble prayers at the Lotus feet of the divya

dhampathigal and usher in the new year that offers everyone lots of happiness,

satisfaction & contentment. The group is honoured to have knowledgeable people

like you, Sri Vasu Vadhyar & others.

This is a great learning ground for young people like me. I would sum up with

the First line of Thyagaraja swamy's Keertanai in Raga Sri, " endaro

mahanubavaulu, andariki vandanamulu " { i offer my respects to all the

great/worthy people}.

Adiyen,

Lakshminrusimhan.

Very kind of you.

Consider about deleting the old content before sending it to groups,

which I expect more than the respects and thanks.

It will reduce most my time.
