Dear friends, Re: stOtrA-s to be recited "when getting up" please note that our AndAl-pirAtti too has offered us help in her 'tiruppAvai'. The practical use of "tiruppAvai" at home is that it is an extremely handy litany for the SriVaishnavite daily "tiruvAdhAranai" -- the offer of daily worship to the domestic deity. (1) When one arises from bed in the morning one chants the 1st & 29th verses of the "tiruppAvai". (2) Before throwing opening the "doors" of one's puja-room one should recite Stanza#22..."anganmAlat- arasar" and then chant Stanza#16 "nAyakanAy ninra..". After that the doors of the puja-room or closet can be opened. (3)Then the householder will "fan" the deity gently, set right the divine bed-chamber (a sort of "making up the bed"), and then taking a leaf of basil ("tulasi") and placing it as if it were a virtual throne, the householder will mentally request the Deity to take his Seat or Throne upon it... At which point he will chant Stanza#23 "mAri-malai-muzhanjil...". (4) When the Lord is thus seated the householder will chant Stanza#24, the 'mangalAsAsanam' of "anru-ivullagam aLandAy....". (5) When the householder offers "food" for the Lord, he will chant Stanza#27 ..."koodArai-vellUm..." (6)Finally during the "sAtrumorai" at home, the householder will again sing Stanza29 and 30.
