SrI :
Dear BhakthAs of ThiruvengadamudayAn :
Before describing the SaaRRumuRai anubhaavam ,
let me add some thing that I forgot to mention earlier .
adiyEn forgot to mention some thing unique at Thirumala .
We were waiting to have the ArchAnantara SevA ( Sevai of
the recitation of the AshtOttharam and Sahasra Naamams ).
The queue was positioned right in front of a special Mantapam
close to the Dhvaja Sthambham and Bali Peetam .
There was a Kainkarya Parar engaged in BhEri TaaDanam or
beating of the Murasu Vaadhyam , a good sized drum to different
TaaLams .
BhEri Vaadhyam has a distinct role to play in DhvajArOhaNam ,
BrahmOthsavam ( to invite dEvAs, ChEtanams for particpation)
and other temple PuRappAdus . Aagamam specifies the Nruttham,
Svaram and TaaLam for the samarpaNam of the BhEri Naadham
for specific Nithya Sooris like Garudan , VishvaksEnar , Lord's
divine weapons , DhwAra PaalakAs , AzhwArs & AchAryAs ,
Aagamams , VaishNava GhOshti , BrahmA , Rudran ,dhig PaalakAs ,
Navagrahams , Time divisions , Yaj~nams (AgnishtOmam , Aswamedham
et al) , Kula Parvathams , Seven rivers , Dhivya dEsams , Vaasthu NaaTan
and KshEthra Paalan , Eight MahA Sarpams , VidhyA devAs . All are invited
to join in the BrahmOthsavam thru coded ( appropriate Nruttham , Svaram
and TaaLam) .
For instance , Garudan is invoked with VishNukrAntha Nruttham ,
Madhyama Svaram and Bali TaaLam . VishvaksEnar is invited with
VishNukrAntha Nruttham , Madhyama Svaram and Khaga TaaLam .
The only difference is the TaaLam for Garudan & VishvaksEnar .
Sarva MangaLa nruttham , SarvathO bhadhra Nruttham , VilAsa Nruttham ,
Chakra MaNDala Nruttham , KadiBhandhana Nruttham and a host of
other Nrutthams are used for different dEvathAs and chEthanams .
The Svarams used are Panchama , Shadjama , Dhaivatha , GaandhAra ,
Rishabha and Madhyama Svarams . Among the 9 TaaLams , Bali , Malla ,
BhaddhAvathA , Rudra TaaLams are used .
adiyEn's sister demonstrated these Aagamic rites in a conference
few years ago and played on the TaaLams and the flags to go
with the invocations .
It was fascinating to listen to the BhEri TaaDanam on that early morning
as one progressed towards SrivAri's Sannidhi.
BhEri Vaadhyam is one of the ashta mangaLams ( 8 symbols of auspiciouness).
The other 7 are : Srivathsam mole , PoorNa ku,bham , Mirror, two fishes
facing
each other , Valampuri Conch , Chakram and Garudan .
BhEri that is used during uthsavam and AarAdhana Kaalams has to be
consecrated with aavAhana manhtrams( Om KaalachakrAya Nama: ),
offered arghyam et al , prOkshaNam with VaasudEva PuNyAha theertham
and sanctify the BhEri with additional manthrams like:
Om Naadha Brahma svaroopiNyai BhEryai nama: , Om Jagath-Srushti sTithi laya
hEthu bhUthAyai Prakruthyai nama: and Om neem nama: parAya
saBdhatanmAtrAthmanE nama: ithi taaDayEth .
The BhERi beating (TaaDanam) is concluded with the Svasthi vachanam :
svasthi prajAbhya: paripAlayanthAm nyAyyEna margENa maheem maheesA:
gOBrAhmaNEbhya: Subhamasthu nithyam lOkA: samasthA: SukhinO bhavanthu
It was thus a rare interlude to hear the BhEri TaaDanam few days after
the BramOthsavam was concluded as a part of the morning ArchanAs .
NamO VenkatEsAya ,
Srimath Azhagiya Singar ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,
Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri Sadagopan
P.S: Please do not forget to lend your support to the uthsavam of
the 79th birthday celebrations of MalOla PadhukA Sevakar ,
