Sri DevanAthAya Nama :

Dear BhakthAs :

 

As a part of any major religious celebration , aasthikAs have a tradition of organizing

a TadhiyArAdhanam ( The AarAdhanam of TadhiyAs/BhagavathAs). This was the case

as well with the RathnAngi SamarpaNa Uthsavam on Septemebr 16 at Thiruvaheendhrapuram .

 

Two wonderful devotees sponsored the TadhiyArAdhanam and a team of two cooks

and their 8 Helpers prepared a menu of SIXTEEN Items and served 500 BhAgavathAs

at the local Andavan Aasramam over a period of four hours . The BhagavathAs had not only

feasted their eyes on the Lord adorning HIs RathnAngi but they also had a lovely

PrasAdham for their enjoyment . adiyEn's thanks to Srimath Andavan's aasaramam

for accomodating us. The imagery of throngs of BhaagavathAs/BhakthAs

sititng down and enjoying this superb TadhiyArAdhanam will always

stay in my mind.

 

These are the 16 items of BHagavath PrasAdham for the record

as the lighter side of postings in the lists :

 

(1) Ghee (2) Dahl (3) Brinjal & White Pumpkin Morkkozhambhu

(4) VeNdaikkAi SaambhAr (5) White KoNdaikkadalai & Pumpkin

PuLikkoottu (6) White KoNdaikkadalai + Bangalore Brinjal PoRiccha Koottu

(7) Beans Dahl Usili (8) Potato Kariyamuthu (9) KattharikkAi Kariyamudhu

(10) Tomato Saatthamudhu (11) PuLiyOdharai (12) KaarAsEv

(13) Akkaravadisal (14) Mysore Paak (15) Laddu DadhiyOdhanam

(16) Mango Pickles .

 

The cooks excelled in their creativity and their helpers/servers

were fit members of this incredible team . With great enthusiasm ,

they served many batches of BhAgavathAs in small and big numbers

over a Four hour time period . It was a joy to be a particpant in

the TadhiyArAdhanam ghOshti on this special day and recall

the pleasures of that day after 50 days time interval.

 

Just a note on the light side !
