Purattasi
Ekadasi Purappadu # Thiruvallikkeni 2017
On 15th Oct
2o17 (Sunday) it was Ekadesi and Sri Parthasarathi had periya mada veethi
purappadu.
பேயாழ்வாரின் பக்தி சுரக்கும் வார்த்தைகளில் இங்கே இன்னொரு
பாசுரம் :
பொலிந்திருண்ட கார்வானில் மின்னேபோல் தோன்றி,*
மலிந்து திருவிருந்த மார்வன், - பொலிந்த*
கருடன்மேல் கொண்ட கரியான் கழலே, *
தெருடன்மேல் கண்டாய் தெளி.*
Azhwar likens the
lightning appearing clear on dark rain cloud – to the divine appearance of Sriman Narayana with
Sri Lakshmi on His chest, seated resplendently on Garuda as mount. Having
seen the lotus feet through knowledge Alwar directs our hearts to fall and
follow those divine feet, which alone can lead us to salvation.
It was the blemishless
Sriman Narayana ~ Sri Parthasarathi Perumal at Thiruvallikeni divyadesam on
Ekadasi day in the month of Purattasi. The
thanga kedayam has been refurbished recently by the Thennacharya Sripadham
thangigal sabha and today’s was the
first purappadu in the new kedayam.
Obviously the beauty of
our Emperuman far outshone the golden glade and it was a wonderful
darshan for all of us in Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam. It was exceptional as Sri Parthasarathi
adorned sengol and Pandian kondai, as the Supreme Emperor akin to Numperumal –
it was indeed a sight to behold. Here are some photos taken during today’s
purappadu.
