This is the month of Iyppasi (tulA mAsam).

This is one of the most celebrated months in our srivaishnava sampradayam. Emperuman in his Bhagavat geetha says, "mAsAnAm mArgaseershOham" and also due to the great thiruppavai nombu of kodha piratti marghazhi month is celebrated extensively.

But what is the greatness of this Iyppasi month to Srivaishnavas?

 

This is the month that has given birth to so many mahans.

Let us now see the list of azhvars and acharyas who took birth in this month along with their thirunakshatra taniyans.

 

 

1) Poigai Azhvar (Iyppasi thiruvonam)

 

"tulAyAm sravanE jAtham kAnchyAm kAnjanavArijAthI

 

dvAparE pAnchajanyAmsam sarOyOgi na mAsrayE II"

 

 

 

2) BhoothatAzhvar (Iyppasi avittam)

 

"tulAtanishtA sambhootham bhootham kallOla mAlina:

3) PeyAzhvar (Iyppasi sadhayam)

 

"tulAsadabhishak jAtham mayoorapuri kairavAt I

 

mahAntham mahathAyAtham vandhE srinandakAmsajam II"

 

 

 

4) VishvaksEnar (Iyppasi poorAdam)

 

"tulA kadEthi nagarE poorvAshAdA samuthbhavam I

 

padmApadhAmbhujAsaktham sEnAthipamaham bhajE II"

 

 

 

5) Naduvil thiruveedhipillai (Iyppasi avittam)

 

"tulA tanishtA sambhootham SriLOkAryapadhAsritham I

 

bhattanAdha gurO: puttram veedhibhattArya mAsrayE" II

 

 

 

6) Pinpazhagiya perumAl Jeeyer (Iyppasi sadhayam)

 

"tulA sadhabhishak jAtham srilOkArya padhAsritham I

 

jnAnAdhi bhooshaNam vandhE paschAt sundaradEsikam II"

 

 

 

7) Pillai lokacharya (Iyppasi Thiruvonam)

 

"tulAyAm sravanE jAtham lOkAchAryamahamAsrayE I

 

SrikrishnapAdhatanayam tatpAdhAmbhuja samsritham II"

 

"lOkAchAryAya guravE krishNapAdhasya soonavE I

 

samsArabhOgi sandhashta jeevajeevAthavE nama: II"

 

 

 

8) KoorakulOththama dAsar (Iyppasi thiruvAdhirai)

 

"tulAAdhrAyAm samuthbhandham vandhE lOkArya samsritham I

 

srisailEsakurOr jnAnapradham koorakulOththamam II"

 

 

9) Vilancholai pillai (Iyppasi vuththirattAdi)

 

"tulA ahirbuthnyasambhootham srilOkArya padhAsritham I

 

sapthakAdhA pravakthAram nArAyaNamaham bhajE II"

 

 

10) Swamy Manavala Mamunikal (Iyppasi thirumoolam)

 

"tulAyAm madhulE mole pANtyE kundeepureevarE I

 

srisEshAmsOthbhavam vandhE ramyajAmAtaram munimII"

 

"SrisailEsa dayApAthram deebhakthyAdhi gunArnavam

 

Yatheendra pravanam vandhE ramyajAmAtaram munim"

 

 

11) Erumbiappa (Iyppasi Revathi)

"tulA rEvathi sambhootham varayOgi padhAsritham I

 

 

Sarva vEdAntha sampoornam appAcharya aham bhajE II"

 

12)

Sriperumbudur onnAna ethiraja jeeyer swamy (Iyppasi poosam)

"tulApushya samuthbhootham srimath hoothapurAdhipam I

 

ethirAja mahAmownim manthraratna pradham bhajE II"

 

 

Like the dvadasanAmas of emperuman we have 12 azhvars/acharyas born in this month.

Infact, Swamy manavala mAmunikal starts the Srivaishnava calendar only with Iyppasi month "Iyppasiyil Onam avittam sadayam….." The birth of mudal azhvars paved the path to the birth of Nalayira divya prabhandam and thereby upholding the Srivaishnava sampradayam.

Ganga is celebrated as punya nadhi by the vaidhikas whereas our azhvars say "gangaiyil punidhamAya kAviri" Even the kaveri is very clear during this month and hence the tula kaveri snanam is regarded special by Srivaishnavas.

Thus we see in all aspects this month of Iyppasi is very auspicious for Srivaishnavas.

Dear Smt. Sumithra,

 

For me, Iyppasi looks better than mArgazhi ... :-)

 

I've one doubt for quite sometime... Is there any detail available on visvaksenar avataram. Is "kadEthi nagar" is the place where he descended on poorADa nakshatram (guessed from the sanskrit taniyan.)?

If so, please let me know on His avatara visEsham..
