SrI RanganAthO jayathu Sri Ranga Sri cha VardhathAm// ===============================================================
CHITRABANU PUTHAANDU VAAZHTHUKKAL
==============================================================
On behalf of ?Swami Desika Darsana Satsangam? (SDDS), ?Sri Ranga Sri? Electronic journal and on my own behalf, it gives me great pleasure to covey our heartfelt greetings to every Bhagavata very happy, peaceful and prosperous New year on the occasion of the combined celebrations of Yugadi and Tamizh New Year ?Chitrabanu?.

The ?VeNba? for the year ?Chitabanu? reads as follows
(Paambu Panchangam):
?Chitrabaanir sirakka mazhai migundu
vithuLLvellaam viLaiyum ? ethisaiyum
Paarppaarukku aagaathu paar vEndarkkE nalamaam
Theerppaaga bhoomi payan seppu?

?In the year ?Chitrbaanu?, there will be plenty of rains, all that grow out of seeds will flourish, though not good for the Brahmins in general - will be propitious for the rulers. This is declared as the final determination for the world?

The above is only a rough meaning of the verse. Scholars in linguistics may offer their views on how far the prediction can be relied on and how far the predictions in the Panchanga vEnbas in the past have proved true!

Let us, however, hope that the positive predictions come true. May the Lord bless us with rains and grains that denote prosperity and let the rulers rule on dharmic lines.

As for Brahmins mentioned in the verse, the community has never been free from fear!
Even the Srimad RamayaNa Samaapana sloka reads:
?KaalE varshathu parjanya: prithivee sasya saalinee /
DesOyam KshOba rahitO ?BraahmaNaa: Santhu nirbhayaa:? //
KaavEri VardhathAm kaalE, kaalE varshathu vaasava: /
SrI RanganaathO jayathu Sri Ranga Sri cha Vardhathaam// ?
Meaning -
?May the clouds shower abundant rains and on time.
May the earth flourish with abundant and verdant flora
May the land be rid of agitation and disturbance
May Brahmins live free from fear!
May the rivers (kaaveri) flow brimful
May Lord Ranganaatha be ever victorious
May ? Sri Ranga Sri? flourish and grow!?
And goes on to pray ?
?Svasti prajaabhya: paripaalayantaam
nyaayENa maargENa maheem maheesaa: /
GO brahmanEbya: subam astu nityam
lOkaa: samastaa: sukhinO bhavantu //?
Meaning
? May the denizens of the world live happily with peace and prosperity
May the powers that be govern the earth righteously
May justice prevail
May the animal kingdom represented by the holy cow and the human kind represented by Brahmins have security, good fortune and auspiciousmness!
May the entire world rejoice in happiness!?

Asmad Acharyan Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram Swami Ashramam has recommended the recitation of Swami Desika?s ?Abheeti Sthavam? to ensure this ?freedom from fear?.
