Azagiyamanavalanin Viruppan Thirunaal First Day Brahmothsavam


Dear and Respected Memebers!

Adeyen Dasan!

As we even think about Srirangam, it not only brings us the thought about Lord
Ranganatha but it also brings the bliss and joy in our heart.
Srirangam is a place
of great history, each and every festival that is celebrated at this
holy place is
celebrated for the people so as to bring the the people together.

Thondaradipodi Alwar says:-

"Masatran manathulanai vanagi nam iruppadallal,

Pesathan aavathundo, Pethai nenjae nee sollai"

Apart from worshiping our Lord who resides in our heart, is it
possible for us to
give any speech?

However adiyen will attempt to narrate the Chitra Brahmotsava Vaibhavam taking
place in Srirangam.

Today is the first day of our Azagiya Manavalan's Brahmotsavam.

Our Namperumal blesses everyone as he passes by the Chitra streets of
Srirangam at early morning and evening because he is Rangarajan, the King of
Kings and Legend of Srirangam to make sure that his subjects in this
beautiful city
are all happy and peaceful.

His blessing is not only with all the people of Srirangam but also with the
members of Srirangasri group who not only worship him as a lord but feel him as
an Acharyan / a problem solver / a friend.

Today Azagiya Manavalan is leaves from the Kannadi Arai (Palace of Mirrors) with
Ubayanachiar (Sreedevi and Boodevi) with Oyyara Nadai (Walking with Pride)
in the Chitra Street inquiring the welfare of each and every one when he passes

through the street, people share their desires and the worries to him
about which
He discusses with Ubayanachiyar.

Parasara Bhattar describes the concern our Rangarajan has for his subjects :-

'… vilamabam asahan iva' - as if He cannot tolerate any delay in coming to the
rescue of His subjects

" sada panchayedheem bibrastha na: sriranganayaka:" – may Srirangaraja who is
always ready with his Panchayudas, come to our rescue.

After this He proceeds to Yahasala (Fire Ceremony Place) to attend the Pachagni
Homam and Thirumanjanam with Sreedevi and Boodevi.

Around 1 AM tomorrow morning he will go back to Kannadi Arai and Ubnachiyars
proceed to their Moola sthanam (Sanctum Sanctoram).

Blessed are the adiyars who are able to witness such divine sight of
Our Lord with
Ubhayanachiyars. They don't need anything else in this piravi! As Thirumanagai
Alwar says:-

"Aniyar Pozhil sooyzh aranga nagarappa

Thuniyen ini nin arulallathu enakku" - Oh Lord residing in beautiful Srirangam
surrounded by verdant groves, I will not look at anything other than
your 'Arul'.

After just 6 hours of rest at around 7 AM he proceeds in Pallaku (Palanquin)
through the Chitra Streets and around 6 PM he proceeds in Karpaka vriksham
(The Sacred tree that blesses people with all their desires).

Will discuss more about Karpaka Vriksham tomorrow.

I pray Azhagiya manavalan (Namperumal) and Ubayanachiyar (Sreedevi and
Boodevi) to bless all of with prosperity and Happiness.

Vachaka dosham Kshamikavum (Apologies for any mistakes)

Mangala sasanams.

Adiyen

Narasimha Bhattar
