Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha
Srimath Varavara Munye Namaha


Vaikasi thiruvizha will start from 16th May in
Alwarthirunagari.This is one of the major festival in every srivaishnavan
life. Our first acharayan in kaliyuga and all 10 alwars are considered as
each parts of Swamy Namalwar thirumeni and Swamy Udiyavar as Thiruvadi in
Alwarthirunagari.

In eighth festival Swamy Namalwar is showing " Thavazhntha
Krishnan" thirukolom to his father and mother in their sannidhi in Appan
koil which is 2 Km away from Alwarthirunagari and also other side of
Tambarabarani river.

In Ninth Festival we can have a darshan of Swamy Namalwar in
Thangaratham which is sponsored by Sri. vanamamalai mutt and also Gold hamsa
vahanam sponsored by Sri. Vanamamalai mutt.

In fifth festival we can have a darshan of all navathirupathi
emperumans in Alwarthirunagari.This is really very beautiful. Every
srivaishnavan should visit Alwarthirunagari and have darshan of all 10
festival of Swamy Namalwar.We will see in details about 5th festival.

Navathirupathi:

Namalwar's father karimaran from Alwarthirunagari and mother from
Thiruvanparisaram(Kerala).Hence Swamy Namamalwar mangalasasanam to
Divyadesam near his father birth place is Eight and to divyadesam near to
his mother birth place is twelve(12).

Eight Divyadesam but nine temples are so called Navathirupathi ( Near
Alwarthirunagari). In nine temples,there is no Namalwar archavigragam
because yearly once in fifth festival all navathirupathi emperumans are
showing darshan to Swamy personally. During important festival in
all nine temples, respective divyadesa perumal prasadam ( Pushpam) is
offering to our Satakopan in Alwarthirunagari. Still this practice is
