Thiruvallikkeni
- Iraapathu Uthsavam 3 -
திருவல்லிக்கேணி இராப்பத்து உத்சவம் (3)
The
festivity of Adhyayana Uthsavam is enthralling and today is day 3 of Irapathu Uthsavam. Today, there was heavy gathering of devotees. During Irapathu, everyday at around 0545 pm, Sri Parthasarathi Perumal reaches the
Paramapada vasal, where Nammalwar waits for the doors to open and have darshan
of Lord coming through the entrance. Devotees throng to have darshan of this significant event.
Today is more special
– ‘Hanumath Jayanthi’ too . The Greatest of Ithihasa
purana ‘Sri Ramayanam’ is the undiluted history of the Greatest Person
who descended on this Universe, on the banks of river Sarayu, in a prosperous
country called ‘Koshala’. To this
Master Master, totally committed thinking of His welfare alone – unassuming,
yet capable of telling the right things at the right moment –is Pavana Puthra
Hanuman – Aanjaneya, who is called ‘siriya thiruvadi’ – who carried Rama on his
shoulders during the war in which the demon was killed. In
Periyazhwar Thirumozhi, in the hymns celebrating the power of Govardhana Giri,
Azhwar says that in the Greatly reverred hill, female monkeys in singing
lullabies to their kids, mention the heroic deeds of Hanuman, whose valour
completely destroyed the city of demons – the Lanka.
At
Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam, right in
front of the Sri Ramar Sannathi, Sri Aanjaneya resides. Once in a year, there
will be purappadu for this Utsavamurthy and today it was Grand Purappadu for Sri Parthasarathi Perumal with Sri Hanumar and Swami Nammalwar. According to the legend, Lord Hanuman is present wherever the story of
Lord Rama is recited. Let us
prostrate at the feet of Jai Hanuman ~ here are some photos
of the purappadu.
