SRI:
Srimathe Ramanjuya Namaha.
Narayana Narayana Narayana.

Dear Bhagavathas,

Further to what has been said and what is known to many reg the
significance of the Purattasi Sanikkizhamai Maavilakku, I hv the following
to say :

This is an Age Old Tradition. God of The Seven Hills, Who Stands all the
time to Bless His Bhakthas during the Kali Yuga, wants to get as close to
them as possible. It is very difficult for all, especially the old,
disabled, financially weak, the children etc to visit the GREAT ABODE OF
LORD VENKATESWARA. 

So our elders have found many easy and practical methods of making it
possible for ALL to have the Darsan of The Lord Venkateswara. 

In the Purattasi Satuday Maavilakku function the All Merciful Lord is
invited to visit our homes in the JYOTHI SWARUPA and Bless all who are not
able to visit the Seven Hills. The Maavilakku is verily the Lord and all
of us can have the Divya Darsanam of Sri Ezhumalai Andavan and seek His
Blessings for the entire Humanity. This tradition enters the Blood of the
Children who follow this path of devotion when they become elders.

When the Maavilakku is over we chant "GOVINDA  GOVINDA  GOVINDA " and do
all necessary UPACHAARAMS  and The Lord Returns to His Abode very happily
for having been able to Bless His Bhaktas.

This is a Great Experience to me from my childhood, as it wud be for many
others.

We Pray The Gracious Govinda to Bless All who seek His Blessings with Good
Health & Happiness and the sense to serve all those unfortunate people who
need our help. Helping the Needy is indeed Service to The Lord. 

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan,

Kombur Vankipuram Madhavan.
