Dear Sriman Srinivasan :

Thanks very much for your good wishes .
I deeply appreciate them .

I hope you do not mi my copying the list on my
response to Your question .Other Members might be 
interested and may add their inputs to your question .

Vidaay means longing , thirst . Aarthi means suffering .
Viday means answer and farewell . We are better off in
using the Farewell concept here . After the long Uthsavam ,
Our Lord blesses His BhakthAs and bids farewell until nex ttime .
Our Lord blesses His devotees , who came to attend His Uthsavam
and wishes them farewell .This is one intrepretation .
  
VidAi Aarthi or VidAyEtthi Uthsavam coming at the end
of BrahmOthsavam , KalyANothsavam at Opiliappan KOil 
is held for one day . PerumAL goes thru a lot of "stress and strain " 
during these Uthsavams to dress up and get ready at all hours 
and stays late outside enjoying Himself and blessing His dear 
devotees . He gets "tired  " . He needs to rest a little and celebrate 
at the end , bid farewell to the assembled BhakthAs .This is the folksy 
intrepretation .

In temple culture , where  a lot of intense efforts goes in to preparation
for conductance of PuRappAdu & UpachArams , a day after is reserved 
for thankful reflection by Devotees that every thing concluded well . 

At my birth place , KalyANOthsavam isn Iyppasi is a big uthsavam .
at the end , there is a VidAyEtthi dinam , when our family has 
a MuRai ( maNdakappadi) to perform Thirumanjanam for Moolavar
and Paadha Thirumanjanam ofr Uthsavar .

The Thirumanjana Kattiyam presented by adiyEn to Oppiliappan
is housed in the Oppiliappan Web pages . You might enjoy referencing
to it since it refers to the strain caused to the Lord and for Him to have
VidAyERRI Thirumanjanam ( http://www.oppiliappan.org) 

Avabrutha SnAnam at the end of the Uthsavam is  very much
sanctioned by AagamAs . Uthsavams are like Yaj~nams . 
Avabrutha SnAnam is for Vrathees and participants to perform
avabrutha SnAnam in PushkaraNis or Rivers near by ( NaattAn
VaaikkAl or DakshiNa viraja at Oppiliappan Koil ) , wehre ChakkaratthAzhwAn 
represents the Lord as His sankalpa Sakthi .

I will write about the Aagamic significance later .

  Subject: Vidai Aarthi Urchavam - Clarifications


  Dear Shri Sadagopan Mama,

  First my heartiest congratulations for you for having going to receive the 
"Kaingarya Rathnam" Life time Accomplishment award. 

  Being a stimulant for the youngsters on Vaishnavam philosophy and variety of 
good and interesting articles which every Shri Vaishnavaites must know and for 
your sincere efforts and wonderful works on Vaishnavam  I pray to Shri 
Devanathan and Shri Sengamala Thayar, Thiruvaheendrapuram for you and your 
family to give you a long and healthy life and your continued services towards 
Vaishnavam.

  Well, Adiyen have some clarifications behind Vidai Aarthi Urchavam being 
celebrated across Perumal koils at the end of Brahmotsavam. Adiyen wanted to 
know the significance about this Vidai Aarthi Urchavam and whats the reason 
behind Vidai Aarthi Urchavam and whats the origin and how many days it will 
normally be celebrated.

  I request Swamin to clarify my doubts about this Vidai Aarthi Urchavam..


  Dasan,
  Srinivasan.R
