AdiyEn's KsshEthrAdanam : Oct 25 at SrivilliputthUr : Part I

[Guest guest]

SrI :

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

This was the last day of the 2005 KshEthrAdanam . It was

the day for enjoying the Nava Kalasa Thirumanjanam

to Andal and RangamannAr prior to the samarpaNam of

Mutthangis to them . It was the day for TadhiyAradhanam at

ANDAL's MadapaLLi for the VaishNava GhOshti . All in all

it was a joyous day .

 

Nava Kalasa Thirumanjanam for the dhivya Dampathis

************************************************************************

Due to the rains of previous days , the bridges were damaged

in the road from Mathurai to SrivilliputthUr . We were instructed

to be at SrivilliputthUr at 10.30 A.M . Going thru rural , back

country roads , we arrived 30 minutes late . Bhattar was waiting

for us at the front of NaacchiyAr ThirumALigai wondering as to

what happened to us . adiyEn sought the aparAdha KshAmaNam

of ANDAL for keeping Her and Her Lord waiting due to the road

conditions . She has been waiting at the Thirumanjana Mantapam

in front of the KaNNAdi KiNaru .

 

Sankalpam started right away . The most enjoyable Thirumanjanam

followed in presence of Archakaas , Arayar and Veda PaarAyaNa ghOshti .

It was an eye filling sight . The DVD captured the beauty of this Thirumanjanam .

adiyEn would like to take this opportunity to describe the Nava Kalasa

Thirumanjanam according to prescribed Aagamic procedures . The officiating

Bhattar is erudite and it was the bhAgyam of all sevArhtees to enjoy

this Thirumanjanam .

 

Before adiyEn describes the Thirumanjanam , let me share with you

some background material on ANDAL's ThirumALigai and the Uthsavams

there for Soodikkoduttha NaacchiyAr .

Web pages or Saranagathy web pages , which lets these attachments thru .
