SrI:
Dear ANDAL BhakthAs :
Every year on KoodArai Vellum Seer
Govindhaa" ThiruppAvai Paasura dinam,
Sri
Ahobila Matam observes the tradition
of presenting
Akkaravadisil to Sundara Simham
alias Periya PerumAL in
hundreds of Silver vessels
consecrated with
Sanka-Chakram and ThirumaNN
during the visEsha dhanur maasa
AarAdhanam
by Srimath Azhagiya Singar
.
This tradition is based on ANDAL's own
promise of
offering hundred vessels of AkkArvadisil
to
ThirumAlirum ChOlai Sundarabaahu PerumAL
,
if He were to appear before Her to accept
them .
In previous years , many of you have
sponsored
one or more of the Silver Vessels of
AkkAravadisil
presented to MalOlan ; at the end of the
celebration ,
yourself or some one representing
you is blessed
to recieve that silver vessel
with AkkAravadisil
as a gift to take home and use that vessel
for Bhagavath
AarAdhanam or to present it as
personal gift to your
Family Members and friends on auspicious
occasions .
adiyEn invites you to join in this year's
AkkAravadisil
samarpaNam to Malolan at Selayur (East
Tambaram)
on Jan 11 , 2007 .
The sponsorship of each Silver vessel of
AkkAravadisil
this year would need $60 or Indian Rupees 2,500 . The
cost of
making the Silver vessel alone in these days of enhanced
price of
Silver is Rs.2,400 . The
remaining Rs.100 goes towards
the coverage of cost of rich ingredients used for the
SamarpaNam
and other incidental expenses
.
It is a great soubhAgyam to sponsor
silver vattils of
AkkAravadisil to Malolan on this
sacred day and recieve
your samarpaNa
vattil for your poojaa graham from
the hands of
Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha
AarAdhakar
on that day
.
Poet SrivilliputthUr Azhagar has captured
very well
the appearance of the JyOthrimaya
Murthy enjoying
the Paanakam offering this way. adiyEn
has taken
the liberty to substitute Paanakam with
akkAravadisil
and seek Sri Azhagar's permission .
Here is how
the paasuram goes :
pErAnandham peRRa Namm Periya PerumAL
pirAttiyai madi amarthi mandhahAsamAi
AarA amudha" akkAravadisilAm saamrpaNam"
yERkka
Azhagiya SingarAi aruLuhirAr AhObilatthE
(Meaning) : Our Lord Azhagiya Singar beams with
joy
as He seats His dear consort on His left lap and
enjoys
the loving offering of Akkaaravadisil from His
BhakthAs
at Ahobilam .He sports a sweet smile as He enjoys
the company of His Devi and the delightful
akkAravadisil .
Among the ten avathArams of the Lord
, Sri NrusimhAvathAram
is very special from the perspective
of Bhaktha RakshaNam
and Dhushta nigraham . ANDAL and Her
dear Father have
celebrated the Vaibhavam of Lord
Narasimhan in many of
their Pasasurams . SrivilliputthUr
poet Azhagar refers to
the uniquenes of Sri
NrusimhAvathAram as
celebrated by
ANDAL and seeks the anugraham of
ANDAL , who blessed us
with the Muktha BhOgAvaLi of
AkkAravadisil in the 27th Pasasuram
of ThiruppAvai ( KoodArai
vellum Seer Govindha) .
Dear SrI ANDAL samEtha
