Theertha Prasadam Time: 8 PM The Tradition of Thiru Adhyayana Uthsavam was started by Thirumangai Azhvar. ============ ========= ========= ========= ====== Thirumangai Azhvar started the tradition of Adhyayana Uthsavam in Srirangam. ThirumangaiAzhvar would travel to Azhvar Thirunagari (tiruk kurugur) and bring Swami Nammazhvar's Thirumeni to Sri Rangam on ShuklaPaksha Ekadasi (Vaikunta Ekadasi) The next 10 days Swami Nammazhwar's prabhandhams were chanted in front of Namperumal. Thirumangai Azhvar started this practice of chanting Nammazhvar's pasurams as a ten day event. This is what we call today as IrapPathu or Thiruvaimozhi Thirunaal. After the 10th day event (10 days after Vaikunta Ekadasi) Nammazhvar was taken back to Azhvar Thirunagari. He would arrive at Azhvar Thirunagari on the day: Star: hastam, month: thai. For the start of this ceremony, Thirumangai Azhvar will start from Srirangam on the day of Karthigai Karthigai (his own thirunakshatram) . Even today this tradition is followed in most of the temples; where the Kattiyakarar or the Sthalathar who has the traditional rights along with temple's Paricharakas go to Swami Nammazhwar's shrine and read the message from the Perumal. The day Swami Nammazhwar arrived in SriRangam was always the Sukla Paksha Ekadasi (Sri Vaikunta Ekadasi). On this auspicious day, Swami Nammazhwar is adorned with Muthangi and Namperumal with Rathnangi. Starting from Ekadasi, next nine days, Sri Thirumangai Azhwar arranged to recite Swami Nammazhwar's prabhandhams in front of Namperumal. After the days of Sri Thirumangai Azhwar, the practice was slowly stopped. It was Sri Nathamunigal who restarted this practice. After Thirumangai Azhvar's time, due to practical difficulties of bringing Nammazhvar to Srirangam, a Thirumeni of Swami Nammazhvar was installed in SriRangam temple. After a few hundred years, Svami Ramanuja, revived and revitalized this ceremony. (as per the Thiruvullam of Nathamunugal) Sri Ramanujar added ten days before the Ira Paththu and called them Pagal Paththu, and arranged that during these ten days prabhandhams of other Azhvars should be recited. Also Sri Ramanuja added one more day for Iyarpa. Because, Sri Thirumangai Azhwar started it, the day before the Pagal Paththu Uthsavam first day, Namperumal listens to ThiruNedunthandagam of Sri Thirumangai Azhwar. So, originally started as ten days festival by Sri Thirumangai Azhwar and was later modified as Twenty days (+one day for ThiruNedunthandagam ) by Swami Emberumanar. Anadhyayana kalam starts during Karthigail Karthigai and normally ends on Thai hastham (Sri Koorathazhwan' s thirunakshatram) . After the Islamic invations from the North, Sri PeriyaJeeyar (Mamunikal) revitalized and revived this utsavam and increased its popularity many fold.
