Om Jai Sai Ram -Andal Kalyanam & Thiruppavai Mahotsavam 9th September 2009 .zip

[Guest guest]

Om Jai Sai RamMy Humble and Heartfelt Koti Pranams at the Divine Lotus Feet of Swami.

It is a well known fact that Mother Sita, the consort of Sri Rama was found in the royal gardens of Mithila by Janaka Maharaja. Andal was born as the incarnation of Bhudevi in the garden of Vishnuchittar under a Tulasi plant. Sri Vishnuchittar was endowed with the title of “Periazhwar†meaning “the most enlightened who could rule over the Lord Himself.†Periazhwar raised Andal with great love, affectionately calling her as “Godai (child of the earth) or “Kodai†(garland of flowers) and enchanting her with stories of Krishna. As a result, Andal developed deep love for Krishna and considered herself as God’s bride. This love for her Lord blossomed into the immortal work “Thiruppavai.†Andal was so profoundly enthralled by the Bhakti of Gopis and the deeds of Krishna in Mathura and Brindavan during the Dwapara Yuga (aeon) that she too desperately wanted to immerse in the Divine experience.

 

Sri Thiruppavai Mahotsavam is a three-day programme culminating on the afternoon of 11th September with Sri Andal Kalyanotsavam. Sai Kulwant Hall was elaborately decorated with flowers; the periphery of the hall was punctuated with the portraits of the 12 Alwars. On the dais of the hall was installed the lustrous idols of Sri Rangamannar in the centre and Sri Andal and Sri Garudalwar on either side. The festivities began on the morning of 9th September 2009 at 7 a.m. with Swasti Vachanam (in Krishna Yajus, there is a topic called Swasti Vachanam, which comprises 4 Anuvakas. These Anuvakas are recited during Utsava Parayana, accompanying the Acharyas and such other occasions). Then the Prathishtaapana (ritualistic installation of the idols) and Puja (worship) of the idols in the centre of the dais was done. Parayana of 1-10 Pasurams (an eight-lined verse) of Thiruppavai was performed by the priests with devotional fervour. Collective chanting of

Sri Vishnu Sahasranama (1008 names of Vishnu) was then done by all devotees present in the hall with Akshatas (sanctified rice) supplied by the organisers.
