14th Feb 2014 is
Masi Magam. I had posted about the grand
purappadu of Sri Parthasarathi Perumal in Garuda vahanam to Marina and the
theerthavari at Bay of Bengal as also the purappadu of Egmore Srinivasa Perumal
and Mylai Sri Madhava Perumal.
This morning, the beach presented a holy sight of GODs …. ~
the vast expanse of Marina daily has so many people
visiting starting with the early morning walkers to those who spend time
happily in the evenings… but this day, the crowd was far different … they were
the worshippers – those seeking divine blessings accompanying the Lord and had
come for holy bath in the sea on the auspicious day of ‘masi magam’ ; the sea
which was blessed with the Divine intervention was perhaps showing its
happiness on seeing the holy crowd with huge tidal waves.
Alongside Sri Parthasarathi Perumal
were many other Perumals including ~ Srinivasa Perumal from Egmore on
Garuda Vahanam; Mylai Sri Madha Perumal and this year there was Perumal from
Mogappair. Mogappair reportedly was once ‘Maga-p-peru’
[blessed with progeny] ~ as it happens, with persistent mispronunciation, the
name became ‘Mugappair or Mogappair’….. there is the temple of Sri Santhana
Srinivasa Perumal, the deity who grants the blessing of parenthood to his
worshippers.
There was congregation Perumals ~ and heads of Bakthas who took
holy bath in the sea. Here are some
photos taken at Marina beach this morning.
Adiyen Srinivasadhasan.
