SrI:
Dear ANDAL BhakthAs :
Every year on KoodArai Vellum Seer
Govindhaa" ThiruppAvai Paasura dinam ,
Sri Ahobila Matam observes the tradition
of presenting Akkaravadisil to Sundara Simham
alias Periya PerumAL in hundreds of Silver vessels
consecrated with Sanka-Chakram and ThirumaNN
during the visEsha dhanur maasa AarAdhanam
by Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
This tradition is based on ANDAL's own promise of
offering hundred vessels of AkkArvadisil to
ThirumAlirum ChOlai Sundarabaahu PerumAL ,
if He were to appear before Her to accept them .
In previous years , many of you have sponsored
one or more of the Silver Vessels of AkkAravadisil
presented to MalOlan ; at the end of the celebration ,
yourself or some one representing you is blessed
to recieve that silver vessel with AkkAravadisil
as a gift to take home and use that vessel for Bhagavath
AarAdhanam or to present it as personal gift to your
Family Members and friends on auspicious occasions .
adiyEn invites you to join in this year's AkkAravadisil
samarpaNam to Malolan at Selayur (East Tambaram)
on Jan 11 , 2007 .
The sponsorship of each Silver vessel of AkkAravadisil
this year would need $60 or Indian Rupees 2,500 . The cost of
making the Silver vessel alone in these days of enhanced price of
Silver is Rs.2,400 . The remaining Rs.100 goes towards
the coverage of cost of rich ingredients used for the SamarpaNam
and other incidental expenses .
It is a great soubhAgyam to sponsor silver vattils of
AkkAravadisil to Malolan on this sacred day and recieve
your samarpaNa vattil for your poojaa graham from
the hands of Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha AarAdhakar
on that day .
Poet SrivilliputthUr Azhagar has captured very well
the appearance of the JyOthrimaya Murthy enjoying
the Paanakam offering this way. adiyEn has taken
the liberty to substitute Paanakam with akkAravadisil
and seek Sri Azhagar's permission . Here is how
the paasuram goes :
pErAnandham peRRa Namm Periya PerumAL
pirAttiyai madi amarthi mandhahAsamAi
AarA amudha" akkAravadisilAm saamrpaNam" yERkka
Azhagiya SingarAi aruLuhirAr AhObilatthE
(Meaning) : Our Lord Azhagiya Singar beams with joy
as He seats His dear consort on His left lap and enjoys
the loving offering of Akkaaravadisil from His BhakthAs
at Ahobilam .He sports a sweet smile as He enjoys
the company of His Devi and the delightful akkAravadisil .
Among the ten avathArams of the Lord , Sri NrusimhAvathAram
is very special from the perspective of Bhaktha RakshaNam
and Dhushta nigraham . ANDAL and Her dear Father have
celebrated the Vaibhavam of Lord Narasimhan in many of
their Pasasurams . SrivilliputthUr poet Azhagar refers to
the uniquenes of Sri NrusimhAvathAram as celebrated by
ANDAL and seeks the anugraham of ANDAL , who blessed us
with the Muktha BhOgAvaLi of AkkAravadisil in the 27th Pasasuram
of ThiruppAvai ( KoodArai vellum Seer Govindha) .
