Dear Sri Ramachandra BhakthAs :
 
adiyEn's Best wishes for a Happy , Healthy and
Kaimkaryam-filled New Year of PaarTiva to you ,
Your Family & Friends !
 
PaarTiva Year is the 19th year in the Jupiter's cycle of 60 Years .
The Next year in this cycle is Viyaya . 
 
The Name PaarTiva ( masculine gender ) is derived from PruTvee ,
the Earth ( Medhini , Vasundhara , Sarvam Sahaa , BhUmi DEvi) .
 
PaarTiva means relating to Earth or the Lord of the Earth . Thus , PaarTiva
SrEshtA means the best among Kings : Chakravarthy Thirumahan ,
Lord Raamachandra is that PaarTiva SrEshtan . PaarTiva Suthaa refers to
the King's daughter : Janaka Maha RAjA's Daughter , SithA Piratti . 
 
When we think of the new year , PaarTiva , both Lord Raamachandra and
His Divine Consort Jaanaki fill our minds .The SlOkams of Swamy ParAsara
Bhattar's Sri GuNa Rathna Kosam ( http://www.malolan.org) {slOkams ( 50 & 51) }
and his Sri Rangaraja Sthavam , SthOthram flash before our minds . Swamy ParAsara
Bhattar visualizes Sri RanganAyaki as Jaanaki MaathA and Uthsavar vigraham
of Lord RanganAtha as SrI Ramachandra . Moola BhEram at Srirangam is
traditionally accepted as DaamOdhara KrishNan .
 
Swamy Desikan has saluted Lord RanganAthan as Sriranga PruTveesan
( = Ranga PaarTivan ) in number  of Paadhukaa Sahasra SlOkams . This
adds extra support to the view proposed here that the new PaarTiva Year
is tightly coupled to Lord RanganAtha as RaamAvathAran & Sri RanganAyaki
as Jaanaki MaathA ( Sri Ranga PruTveeswari ) . Swamy ParAsara Bhattar
concedes in the 51st SlOkam of Sri GuNa Rathna Kosam that he belongs
to the Jaanaki GhOshti and that the Lord Sriranga PaarTivan is related to
him thru Jaanaki Maathaa .
 
Let us conclude this tribute to this Divine Couple during this Sri Raama Navami
uthsava season  through two slOkams , one from Swamy ParAsara Bhattar and
the other from Sri Kutti SaasthrigaL VamsatthAr :
 
SapthaprAkAramdhyE sarasija mukuLodhbhAsamAnE VimAnE
KaavEri madhyadEsE mrudhutara-phaNirADbhOga paryanka-bhAgE
nidhrAmudhrAbhirAmam kaDinikaDasira: pArsva vinyastha-hastham
PadhmA-DhAthree karAbhyAM parichitha scharaNam RangarAjam bhajEham
 
(Meaning ) : I meditate on the Lord of Srirangam reclining on his most enjoyable
soft bed of AdhisEsha with His eyes closed in YoganidhrA pose . He is keeping His
right hand under His head and His left hand near His hip .  He rests under the PraNavAkAra VimAnam of the Srirangam Temple encircled by seven courtyards. His feet are being gently
pressed by  SrI and BhU Devis during His yoganidhrA at His temple situated in
the central region of KaavEri delta.
 
Lord RanganAthA's Temple in Pomona , N.Y.observes all Uthsavams and anushtAnams 
as at Srirangam temple including the use of PanchAngam computed by JyOsyar ,
Kutti SaasthrigaL , whose family  has been Sriranga PanchAnga GaNitha MirAsu
for the past 115 years. adiyEn adds their vamsatthAr's SaraNAgathy to
the Srirangam Dhivya Dampathis :
 
KaavEri madhyadEsE Himakara- sarasee theera PunnAga-paarsvE
BrahmAdhyArAdhithE asmin Dasamukha-sahaja sTApithE VedasrungE
SrirangAkhyE VimAnE PhaNipathi Saayinam RanganATam
SenEsa-SrI SaThAri prabrudhibhi:MunigaNai: sEvitham samsrayAva:
 
The PanchAngam computed especially for the SriranganAtha Temple , Pomona , N.Y
should be here before too long . Please recieve this calendar in your homes and
invite Lord RanganAtha , Sriranga PaarTivan in to Your PoojA grahams .
 
May Your Kaimkarya SrI grow exponentially during this PaarTiva Year !
