Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 SrI: Dear Sriman Vaasu VadhyAr Swamy : Could you please advise us on the significance of KaradayAn Nonbu . I am not sure it is a Vaidhika Karma and is more like a prayer to Mahaa Lakshmi for dheerga SoumAngalyam . Thanks very much. V.Sadgopan *** Dasan, Karadaiyan Nonbu is a Vaishnavite function for ladies. We know that any thing comes under the name 'Nonbu' is 'Vradham' performed by ladies. (I hope that Vradham is not used for ladies the word Nonbu may be apt one for ladies, e.g. " Paavai Nonbu " ) The brief significance of this Nonbu is: Requesting sowbhagyam and sowmangalyam for a long term. The are requesting the Godess Sri Lakshmi (Piraatti) for this by fasting from early morning without taking even water, by uttering known slogas and stotras, they will wait for the Sankramanam (meeting point of the month Maasi and Panguni) just before the birth of Panguni maasam they will start finishing the nonbu by doing some Lakshmi pooja and they will offer the bhakshanams and other things specially prepared for it to Thaayar. Ladies are doing Nonbu or pooja twice in a year for the long life of gents. 1. At the 'Kanu day' next day to Pongal - they pray for the long life of all their brothers. 2. At the eve of the month of Masi, they pray for the long life of their husband. There must be some strong or meaningful (astrological) background for using this specific period for this nonbu. (I try to do research on this before next nonbu.) But the verbal saying about this is : " Masi Kayiru Paasi padarum " means, the thread worn in the month of maasi will stay for long time. And hence the Upanayanam also will be done in the month maasi. Now my assumption of the meaning of the term " Karadaiyan " . Adaiyan stands for 'husband' because " Ampadaiyan " is one of the name for husband in brahmins. " Kar " stands for " Protect " . Placing the request " Protect (my)- husband " before the Godess Lakshmi, who can bless for Sowmaangalyam (Maangalya devadha). So, the term " Kar - Adaiyan " nonbu may derived like this. Note:- I don't have any evidence for any of the thing mentioned here, everything is my own assumption using my little common sense. dasan, nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 SrI: Dear SrimAn Vaasu VadhyAr : Excellently analysed . Appreciate it very much . With your permission , I will share your insights with other VaishNava Groups.They will find it useful. Once again , Many Thanks . V.Sadagopan *** dasan, dhanyosmi, I beg to remember you, I never think anything that is of mine. I never used / using / will use the word owner for anything. For example, I am using the word " Organizer " for the website ahobilam.com Some times I might have used the word " my " which may be due to the " Vasanai " as an " Anichai seyal " . The explanation given is to stress my (I hope this 'my' may not be avoidable) intention. So, copy anything and use as much as you can, if possible make money also, it means, can use it for commercial purpose etc. I will never abject for anything. But I wish to remind a thing, this is the only possible way to get the bhagavath preethi or Punyam by sharing these good things without expecting anything. dasan dasan dasan nvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
