Dear Members:
When I was browsing through Hindu on 15th December
2005, I saw the following news item, which I am
pleased to share with members of the group.
Thiruppavai to be recited in Tirumala temple Tirupati,
Dec. 15
(PTI):
Ancient Tamil romantic verses 'Thiruppavai' would be
recited by priests of Lord Venketeswara shrine in
Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh during the morning hours of
'Danurmasam' commencing from December 16 to January
14, replacing the traditionally played 'suprabhatam'.
The verses, believed by devotees to have been composed
by deity of Srivilliputtur in Tamil Nadu, goddess
Andal in praise of Lord Venketeswara, would be sung as
a 'wake-up call' to the deity from the start of the
month of Dhanurmasam also known as Margazhi, the
temple sources said. However, suprabhatam recital
would resume from January 15, the sources added.
It is nice to hear this arrangement. Hence, we can
recite Tiruppalliyezhuchi and Tiruppavai from our
residences by just assuming that we are standing in
front of Lord Srinivasa. The legend says that flowers
go to Tirumala from Srivilliputhur. Now Tiruppavai is
also going there.
