What
a day today ! ~ Punarvasu nakshathiram and purappadu of Sree Ramapiran with
Sitadevi and Lakshmana at Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam.
Lord
Rama descended on earth for the purpose of upholding righteousness and
rewarding virtue. His life is the subject of The Ramayana. Rama lived the life
of perfection and responsibility exhibiting glorious traits of wisdom and
conscientiousness.
The greatest
Ithihasam ‘Sri Ramayanam’ accurately depicts without an iota of exaggeration, the life and journey of the immortal Maryadha
purush - perfect man’s adherence to dharma despite harsh tests of life and
time. Lord Rama is the epitome of all virtues and the perfect human being who
abandoned the throne and served exile in the forest for the sake of honour of
his beloved father.
In the epic, His glory is described
by Sage Valmeeki as :
यावत्स्थास्यन्ति गिरयस्सरितश्च महीतले । तावद्रामायणकथा
लोकेषु प्रचरिष्यति ॥
~ that as long as the hills remain
and streams add life by their flow on earth, so long shall the true story of Rāma prevail. **
The
appearance of Lord Rama on earth is a day of great of celebration, widely
celebrated as ‘Sri Rama Navami’ – On all monthly thirunakshathirams, there will
be purapadu of Sri Rama. It will give
immense punniyam (spiritual gain) - not only in the present world but would
also help in the other world also, whenever we think and utter the name ‘Rama’.
Today,
25th Sept after Sri Ramar purappadu – inside in the main
mandapam, Kulasekara Alwar, Mudaliandan
and Swami Embar were seated nearer. There was rendition of ‘Perumal Thirumozhi’ of
Kulasekara azhwar. Here are some photos
of the purappadu.
Adiyen
Srinivasa dhasan.
