                                                                PRABHANDHAM AT ITS PRIME
 
 
It is commonplace in SamprokshaNam-s to find several casualties insofar as dhivyap-prabhaNdahm recital is concerned.
 
1. The first is clarity. Since, the aurlich-cheyal has to be completed in 8 sessions - 8th session being the shortest, the tendancy is to speed up the whole process in each session.
 
2. This hastening process results in chaos, confusion and utter disdain to the great work. In fact, I vividly remeber during thiru-indhalLUr samprOkshaNam, we were asked to recite the prabhaNdham behing the Lord instead of in front of Him. Nobody knew what was going on.
 
3. The resons are many. The instruments -=the accompanying band which are unique to the homam - create sound which makes one unable a trouble-free listening.
 
4. Furtehr, there use to be other itineries..
 
5. In thriu allik kEANi , the one and only goal was prabhaNdham and the smooth ghOshti.
 
6.In other dhivya dhESam-s, the process gathers so much momentum one is unable to catch up what is actually being recited. pAsuram-s are skipped  and to rectify the same brakes are appleid In fact, this happened during srirangam samprOkshaNam.
 
7. Here it is the reverse. During nAchiyAr thirumozhi ANdAL-s work was delviered with so much zest that adhyApakAs were requested to sacrifice the anubhavam for the sake of time and  reminded time and again the mudhal Ayiram sAthumurai has to take place in that session.
 
8.. The thirumozhi session of 5th ten to 9th ten- five tens in one session was indeed grand. The words were so clear and anybody within or out of the ghOshti could easily follow it. It took two hours and forty five minutes to complete that session.
 
9. Similarly, the thiru voi mozhi session of 5th to 9th ten- 5 tens took two and a half hours ensuring rich quality of recital and highest revernce to both the Lord and the AzhwAr.
 
10. Here, it seemed as though the whole samprOkshaNam is for the sake of arulich cheyal and not vice versa.
 
11. There was no mike.
 
12. It is stated in AchArya hrdhayam that  it is not correct to look into the material which go into the making of the archA Lord. I am not bothered. One thing I am sure.
If you break parthasarathy, the explosion will result in thousands  and thousands of AzhwAr-s pAsuram-s presented to Him at His thruOlakkam time and again, time and again and time and again.
 
13. Indeed, thiruvallikkEANi is conspicuous and notorious for its bias towards prabhaNdham and parthasarathy whcih is nothing but
