 Dear BhakthAs :
 
 Today is Pramathi Aadi 28th day ; Sukla Paksha
DhvithIyai , Poora nakshthram, Siddha Yogam preside .
We will start with our salutation to our 
 dear Mother presiding over Her RaajadhAni

 Srimathyai VishNuchitthArya 
  ManOnandhana hEthavE
 Nandha nandhana Sundaryai
  GodhAyai NITHYA MANGALAM 
 
 Our ThAyAr would be uncomfortable unles we 
 offer our slautations to Her Lord , "Vada Perum-
 Koil UdayAn " for whom She adorned the Flower
 galands and then sent them to Him .Let us hence offer
 our slautations to Him on this day ,who is
 the reason behind Her name , "Soodik Koduttha NaacchiyAr":
 
 Sri BhattanAtha SUrIndhra 
  MaanasAmbhOja vaasinE
 Srimath VaDa MahAdhAma 
  SwaminE NITHYA MANGALAM
 
 Prior to procceding with the other parts of
 the posting , let us salute Sri Andal"s dear

 and gave her hand in marriage to Sri RangamannAr :
 
 Sri Dhanvi NagarAdhIsa
  MangaLAsAsinO anisam
 NirNItha Para tattvAya 
  VISHNUCHITTHAAYA MANGALAM
 
 Approximately 700 years ago , Swami Desikan 
 arrived at Sri VilliputthUr  on a pradhOsham day and 
 performed His MangaLAsAsanam for Sri Godhai through his
 GodhA sthuthi. We will salute later Sri Godhai 
 in the words of Swami Desikan himself (Part 2). 
 Prior to that, adiyEn will attempt to summarize 
 some source information of value for Andal BhakthALs. 
 
 Please remember that according to our AchAryAs,
 Andal is PrAdhanyam (most important)
 in Archai ,Sri Devi is PrAdhAnyam 
 in Parama Padham , BhU Devi is PrAdhAnyam in
 VarAhAvathAram and Nappinnai is PrAdhAnyam in
 KrishNAvathAram .We will be focusing on AndaL ,
 whose other names are Bhumi Devi, Vasumathi,
 KshamA , Sarvam SahA to list a few .
