Sri:
 
GodhAm udhArAm sthuma: ( Let us eulogize the Generous GodhA )
 
Sri Nrusimha SamArambhAm VaNN SaThAri SumadhyamAm
Sri NaaraYaNa SaThakOpAnthAm Guru pankthim aham bhajE
 
Dear BhakthAs of GodhA PirAtti :
 
The arrangements for the SamarpaNam of Mutthangi for
our Supreme Mother , ANDAL on Her avathAra dinam at
Srivilliputthur is making progress .
 
The Mutthangi expert Sri KrishNAji , 85 year young traditonalist
who has been involved with the creation of Mutthangis for
ThiruvEngadamudayAn , Sri RanganAthan of  Srirangam ,
Oppiliappan Koil Moolavar ( 9 feet plus tall ) is on his way to
SrivilliputthUr this weekend to take the measurements for
the new Angi for ANDAL . Inview of the shortness in time
for completing all the three Muthangis ( For RangamannAr and
PeriyAzhwAr (GarudAmsar)  on the Same Peetam ), preference
had to be given to the completion of ANDAL's Mutthangi  ,
the intricate sewing of the pearls on the velvet attached to
the body-fitted copper plate below will take more than a month .
This type of stitching is  tough on the eye of the stitching expert .
Taiwanese Culture pearls have been chosen over Majorca culture
pearls for this Mutthangi .
 
It will be a busy day at Srivilliputthur on Aadippoora dinam ( August 8, 2005) .
Morning , there will be a chariot Uthsavam for ANDAL :

During that evening , the plans are to have the SamarpaNam of
the New Mutthangi and the Dance-Drama based on NaachiyAr
Thirumozhi is planned .
 
An Appeal to AasthikAs
******************************
It is not every day , we get a chance to present to BhagavAn's
Devi , Sri Andal , the author of the gems known as ThiruppAvai and
NaacchiyAr Thirumozhi , a new aabhAraNam like the MutthAngi ,
especially on the most sacred day of Her birth in the Flower( TuLasi)
garden of PeriyAzhwAr at Srivilliputthur .
 
Please join this Bhaktha ghOshti to prostrate before ANDAL on
this sacred day and support the Kaimkaryam with whatever funds
you can make available ( $50, $100, $250 ) . Since the program was 
announced on June 18 , adiyen has received pledges for $1000 .
It is all ANDAL's blessings that BhakthAs are responding so quickly .
We have a little more way to go to assemble all the funds needed .
Additional $1,500 would be needed to cover all the expenses for
the SamarpaNam and the two cultural events to be scheduled on
August 8 at Srivilliputthur . adiyEn looks forward to your support to
complete  this Kaimkaryam . Please contact me .Thanks in advance .
 
Mutthangi & Some Reflections on Mutthu ( Pearls) used in the Angi
*************************************************************************************
Jaathi ( Quality ) Mutthu or precious Peral is dazzlingly white .
Poets are fond of comparing it  to the cool rays of Chandran ,
who arose from the Milky Ocean as the brother of MahA Lakshmi
( Chandra SahOdhari) to the coolness and the brightness of the pearls .
 
The whilteness of the pearls are also compared to Mullai pushpam 
and also to the radiant while light emanating from the toe nails of
Lord RanganAthan .
 
One of the Five Archaa Moorthys at Oppiliappan Sanndhi has been
saluted by Swamy NammAzhwAr as "Mutthappan " . AzhwAr implies
that the Lord at Oppiliappan ( the PanchAvathAran) is cool like the rays
emanating from His pearl like , Suddha Satthva Maya ThirumEni  to
quench the insufferable heat of SamsAram .Swamy NammAzhwAr
states that " The Lord, who has no equal ( TannoppArillappan) ,
gave me the shelter of His Thiruvadi , COOL , SOOTHENING against
the SWELTERING HEAT AND EVEN MORE TO THE TORMENTING
WORLD LIFE HERE " . 
 
Swamy  Desikan devotes 50 slOkams in praise of the pearls adorning
the Paadhukai of Lord RanganAtha . Swamy  Desikan sees the beautiful
white pearls on the Paadhukais along with the Padhma Raagam , Maragatham ,
Indhraneelam gems . Through 50 slOkams , Swamy Desikan brought out   
the sookshma TatthvArthams behind the pearls ( Mutthu ) . The meanings
and commentaries on Mukthaa Paddhathi ( 18th Chapter) of Sri RanganAtha
PaadhukA Sahasram has been covered earlier :

adiyEn will take up the significance of the whilte stream of
rays emanating from the Mutthangi  as revealed to us
by Swamy Desikan's dhivya Vaak in Sri RanganAtha
PaadhukA Sahasram in the subsequent postings realted to
this Mutthangi Kaimkaryam .
 
Meanwhile , adiyEn will share with you the images of
ANDAL , RangamannAr , the Big Chariot ( thEr at Srivilliputthur) ,
ANDAL's Temple and the view of ThirumAlirumchOlai dear to
Her and Her dear Father , PeriyAzhwAr .
