As there was an error, adiyen is adding a correction.

Sri:
   Whether Nammalwar was born on tuesday is the question. But here is a 
shloka 
which says Nammalwar was born on a Friday.

   "rAdhE kalErvAsara Eva rAdhE  mAsE vishAkhE mahanIya thArE ;
   shukrasya vArE ajani vishwatithyAM parAnkushO ayam bhagavAn kuLIrE"

Meaning:
   On the 42nd (rAdhA) day of kaliyuga, in vaishAkha (rAdhA) masa, in the 
esteemed vishAkhA star, on Friday, on the chaturdashi (vishwa) tithi, or 
the fourteenth day, eve of PourNami, in karkATaka lagna (kuLIra) bhagavAn 
parAnkusha was born.
   Nammalwar is said to have regretted not being born just one week before 
"oru chev vai munnaal pirandilomE" which would have given rise to the 
thought that Nammalwar was born on Tuesday.

             THE TUESDAY PHENOMENON

   Some say that 'tuesday' is auspicious as it is 'mangaLa vAram'. 
Howevers, some others do not prefer as it is ruled by malefic mars-sevvAi.

   For us, srevaishNavites, it is a day of rejoicing as it it this day 
SvAmi Nam AzvAr desended into this mother earth.
   The magnum opus tiru-vaimozhi and the relted vyakyanam-s followed by the 
juicy AchArya Hrdhayam can all be traced to the source as this day 
tuesday.

   Then, shall we promulgate
   "For all purposes and intents, hereinafter, tuesday shall be the day of 
rejoicing, a mark of clebration and open for all auspicious events"

   Yes.Would be the logical answer.

   Going a bit further into this, let us see what AzvAr felt on his birth. 
He felt very bad that he had missed Sri KrshNA by a week's time. This gave 
him a
   lasting misery. This coslty siip between the cup and the slip rendered 
him frustrated.
   'pallilEa pattuth theRithAR pOle'  says Sri Nam-piLLai.

   A week had elapsed since Sri KrhsNA decided to ascend to thannudaich 
sOdhi. 'Oh! had i been here a few days back, I would have had His divine 
vision'
   rued Sri Nam-AzvAr -the krhsNA thrshNA thathvam-the manifestation of 
love for sri KrshNA.

   In this light, tuesday though very good for us, for AzvAr , it rendered 
a lasting misery. a lifelong feeling of miss.

   Should we then celebrate of AzvAr's arrival or feel for Azvar's 
dis-appointment?
