sri:

Pranam to all devotees:

Birth and early childhood of Thirumazhisai Azhvar

Born as a fleshy lump, with no limbs or signs of life,
his parents left the lump by bamboo shoots in the woods.

The shapeless being was taken care of by mother Earth (Bhu Devi).
Gradually the lump developed features, limbs, started to show signs
of life and started crying.

In the wilderness there was no one to care or hear the
cries of this baby. Lord Jagannatha of Thirumazhisai
with his divine consort sri came physically to the baby's
aid and took care of the baby for a little while. When
they left for their abode the baby started to cry very
hard for having lost this grand vision of the LORD.

LORD arranged for a thiruvalan and his wife (bamboo cutters)
to hear the cries and come to the baby. This  couple, devout and childless
was extremely happy to take the baby home to raise as their own. The baby,
having had the Darshan and blessings of the LORD was not feeding normal
mothers milk.

The news of the divinity spread and an old couple in the
nearby area, heard of this news and offered some cows milk with love and
devotion. The baby accepted the milk. So this old couple stared offering
milk daily.

One day the baby asked them to drink a portion of the milk
left over as blessing. When the old couple drank the left over milk as
prasada, a child was borne to them. This child became later became a very
famous disciple of Thirumazhisai Azhvar by the name KaniKannan.
