PRABHANDHAM AT

ITS PRIME

 

 

It is commonplace in SamprokshaNam-s to find several casualties insofar as

dhivyap-prabhaNdahm recital is concerned.

 

1. The first is clarity. Since, the aurlich-cheyal has to be completed in 8

sessions - 8th session being the shortest, the tendancy is to speed up the whole

process in each session.

 

2. This hastening process results in chaos, confusion and utter disdain to the

great work. In fact, I vividly remeber during thiru-indhalLUr samprOkshaNam, we

were asked to recite the prabhaNdham behing the Lord instead of in front of Him.

Nobody knew what was going on.

 

3. The resons are many. The instruments -=the accompanying band which are unique

to the homam - create sound which makes one unable a trouble-free listening.

 

4. Furtehr, there use to be other itineries..

 

5. In thriu allik kEANi , the one and only goal was prabhaNdham and the smooth

ghOshti.

 

6.In other dhivya dhESam-s, the process gathers so much momentum one is unable

to catch up what is actually being recited. pAsuram-s are skipped and to

rectify the same brakes are appleid . In fact, this happened during srirangam

samprOkshaNam.

 

7. Here it is the reverse. During nAchiyAr thirumozhi ANdAL-s work was delviered

with so much zest that adhyApakAs were requested to sacrifice the anubhavam for

the sake of time and reminded time and again the mudhal Ayiram sAthumurai has

to take place in that session.

 

8.. The thirumozhi session of 5th ten to 9th ten- five tens in one session was

indeed grand. The words were so clear and anybody within or out of the ghOshti

could easily follow it. It took two hours and forty five minutes to complete

that session.

 

9. Similarly, the thiru voi mozhi session of 5th to 9th ten- 5 tens took two and

a half hours ensuring rich quality of recital and highest revernce to both the

Lord and the AzhwAr.

 

10. Here, it seemed as though the whole samprOkshaNam is for the sake of arulich

cheyal and not vice versa.

 

11. There was no mike.

 

12. It is stated in AchArya hrdhayam that it is not correct to look into the

material which go into the making of the archA Lord. I am not bothered. One

thing I am sure.

If you break parthasarathy, the explosion will result in thousands and

thousands of AzhwAr-s pAsuram-s presented to Him at His thruOlakkam time and

again, time and again and time and again.

 

13. Indeed, thiruvallikkEANi is conspicuous and notorious for its bias towards

prabhaNdham and parthasarathy whcih is nothing but

 

 

PRABHANDHAM AT ITS PRIME.

Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,

 

Thanks a lot for this summary. Your words exactly reflected our thoughts

(thoughts of everyone who was present in thiruvallikeni including parthasarathi

and other emperumans). Adiyen feels really blessed to have been able to listen

to the divine arulicheyal ghosti (no words to express adiyen's joy).

" Azhvargal vAzhi arulicheyal vAzhi thAzhvAdhumil kuravar thAm vAzhi

EzhpArum vuyya avargal vuraiththavaigal thAm vAzhi seiyya marai thannudanE

sErindhu " -these words of swamy mAmunikal was upholded totally in

thiruvallikeni. May the lord parthasarathi prevent any kan drushti to the

divine ghosti and maintain the same enthusiam, strength and arulicheyal interest

in each and everyone including the amazing kids who recite the azhvar paasurams

without any doubt in a casual manner without any mistakes. " adiyargal vAzha

arulicheyal vAzha thiruvallikeniyum parthasarathiyum vAzha manavala mAmuniyE

ennum oru nootrAndirum "

 

Alwar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam

Adiyen ramanuja dAsee
