2004 Marghazhi ThirunALL Aarambha dinam : Dhanus Ravi SankramaNam & SravaNam

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs of Soodikkoduttha NaachiyAr :

 

To day ( Dec 15) is the First day of Dhanur Maasam.

The special AarAdhanam for Our ANDAL begins today.

Today is also SravaNa Dinam . Let us reflect on the

key passages of ThiruppAvai :

 

" NaarAyaNanE NamakkE PaRai TaruvAnn"

 

(Comments) : Sriman NaarAyaNan , the SarvEswaran , who incarnated as

KrishNan will grant us , His BhagavathAs who have performed Prapatthi to Him ,

the bliss of Moksham readily .

 

She taught us the glories of Prapatthi as the uthkrushta maargam

( MaargaseershamAna Prapatthi ) through the above UpadEsam

right at the beginning of Her ThiruppAvai .

 

Towards the end of ThiruppAvai , She reminded us that

Prapatthi is KshaNa Karthavyam /can be done in a trice

( SiRRam SiRu kaalatthil Seyyak-kUdiyathu) .

 

" YeRRaikkum yEzhEzh piRavikkum unn tannOdu uRROmE AavOm ,

UnakkE Naamm AatccheyvOm , maRRai namm kaamangaL MaaRRu "

 

In this birth and in the upcoming seven births , My we be blessed

to have You , KrishNa as our Sarva vidha Bandhu. We will not pay

homage to any others(ithara dEvathAs since we recognize You

alone as our Para Devathai). We will perform kaimkaryam only to You

and You alone .

 

With " unn TannODu uRROmE aavOm " , the meaning of PraNavam

is referred to . With " UnakkE nAmm aatccheyvOm " , the meaning of

"NaarAyaNAya " is referrd to . With " MaRRai namm kAmangaL MaaRRu " ,

the meaning of nama: sabdham is referred to . Thus the Moola MantrArTam

is covered in the most meaningful lines of " SiRRam SiRu kaalE vanthu

Unnai sEvitthu " Paasuram of ThiruppAvai .

 

Let us reflect on the deep meanings of ThiruppAvai

Paasurams in this sacred month and perform

visEsha aarAdhanam for Godhaa Priyan ,

SrI RanganAthan .

 

Sri Anil Aditya from Australia has been kind enought to send

the AshtOttharam for ANDAL . Please use it particularly this

Maarghazhi month .
