Sri Parthasarathi Brahmothsavam Jan 2016 at Thiruvallikkeni - Day 1 Morning
The special Thai Brahmothsavam started today – 31st
Jan 2016 with the ‘dwajarohanam’ performed this morning after the thiruveethi
purappadu.
The Muthalazhwargal (Pogai alwar, Boothathalwar and
Peyalwar) met at Thirukovalur.... Poigai azhwar started singing the greatness
of the Lord by lighting the Earth itself as the light and Ocean as the
ghee...... he says....
என்று கடல்கடைந்தது எவ்வுலகம் நீரேற்றது ?*,
ஒன்றுமதனை யுணரேன் நான்*, - அன்று அது
அடைத்துடைத்துக் கண்படுத்த வாழி*, இதுநீ
படைத்திடந் து உண்டுமிழ்ந்த பார்.
When was (the time, date, period) the Ocean churned ?
when was the Earth begotten from Mahabali; when was the dam made up of
mountains and trees made across that ocean again ...... I (Azhwar) do not
realise .... the only thing that Azhwar knows too well.... that is the Lord of
the Universe, Sriman Narayanan who took the earth as gift, who made, lifted it,
ate, preserved and presented to us again .......... it is all simple deeds of
the mighty Lord Sriman Narayanan.
What a great bliss it would be to live in a divyadesam
and have darshan of the Supreme Lord in various alankarams astride so many
vahanams. At Thiruvallikkeni, it is 10 day long Brahmothsavam special as this
is what should have occurred last year. This morning Sri Parthasarathi
had purappadu in ‘Dharmathi peedam’ – the Uthsavam dates back to time
immemorial – this vahanam by some accounts was submitted a century ago in 1903,
perhaps refurbished thereafter. . Few photos taken during the
purappadu are posted here.
Adiyen Srinivasadhasan.
