Dear Sri Padmanabhan swamy,
Thanks a lot for this summary. Your words
exactly reflected our thoughts (thoughts of everyone who was present in
thiruvallikeni including parthasarathi and other emperumans). Adiyen feels
really blessed to have been able to listen to the divine arulicheyal ghosti (no
words to express adiyen's joy).
"Azhvargal vAzhi arulicheyal vAzhi thAzhvAdhumil
kuravar thAm vAzhi
EzhpArum vuyya avargal vuraiththavaigal thAm
vAzhi seiyya marai thannudanE sErindhu" -these words of swamy mAmunikal was
upholded totally in thiruvallikeni. May the lord parthasarathi prevent any
kan drushti to the divine ghosti and maintain the same enthusiam, strength and
arulicheyal interest in each and everyone including the amazing kids who recite
the azhvar paasurams without any doubt in a casual manner without any
mistakes. "adiyargal vAzha arulicheyal vAzha thiruvallikeniyum
parthasarathiyum vAzha manavala mAmuniyE ennum oru nootrAndirum"
Alwar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE
sharaNam

PRIME
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
PRABHANDHAM AT ITS PRIME.
