Due
to the Anugraham of Srimad Andavan, the last week was eventful.
Normally on Adi Amaavaasai days the turn around of Brahmins will be
very less (But on Thai Amaavaasai, Brahmins will be in thousands)But
this year, the immediate presence of the Acharyan at
Sethukkarai-Thiruppullani , Surya Grahanam added to that, several
hundreds of Srivaishnava sevarthis turned up here and had the bhagyam
of Grahana snanam at Sethukkarai with Srimad Andavan.Bruhaspathi
Thiruppullani Sri Rangarajan (Nanga nallur)
performed Grahana sankalpam to all assembled there. Then all the
devotees had the vimochana snanam at Chakra theerththam along with
Srimad Andavan. The photos are available at

Adi Pooram, the Thiruvavathara day of Sri Andal, was being
celeberated in a grand scale at Thiruppullani till several years back.
Due to various reasons, for the past few years, it is limited to
Ekantha thirumanjanam to Sri Andal and that's all here. Learning this,
the Acharya Sarva Bauman arranged to celeberate it as was done in the
past. In the morning, Jagannatha Perumal was brought to Andal Sannidhi
, the Divya Thampathis had a visesha alankara thirumanjanam and veku
vilakshna goshti. In the evening Perumal and Andal had a Dolothsavam in
front of Thayar Sannithi. The entire expenses were borne by Srimad
Andavan. These photos are available at

And yesterday a Rig vetha patasalai has been started here about which already reported in Yahoo groups.
Accepting the request of the Ramanathapuram Samasthanam
Devasthanam, HH srimad Andavan has ordered for a new Garuda Vahanam for
Thiruppullani Temple at a cost of nearly Rupees one lakh and the work
is in progress.
Thiruppullani residents , enjoying the sowlabyam of HH daily and
overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Ashramam kainkaryaparals, are
definitely great bhagyasalis.
