On day 5 of Manavala
Mamunigal Uthsavam – what a dharshan it was - of Sri Parthasarathi
– sublime beauty, draped in beautiful silk dress, dressed like a
Cowherd King, wearing a turban, whip in his hand, the other hand
resting, adorning many jewels, including impeccable shining ear rings ~ he was
also wearing bangles - what a marvellous treat to His bakthas. – and
it is the day of Govardhana giri Gopala.

We all go to temples and
worship Lord in various forms. For us the Lord is Omnipresent and the
beautiful Uthsavar symbolizing Him comes on the street to provide darshan and
protect us. Often we stand before
the Lord and rekindle our worries beseeching His benevolence in getting remedy.
There are others who visualize Him in various swaroopams and enjoy Him in their
inner souls. Saint Periyazhwaar, when he saw Lord Sriman
Narayana astride Garuda, started thinking of His magnificence and started
singing paeans seeking that no harm ever happen to the Greatest !
Our little Sri Krishna was
born in Mathura in a prison of Kamsa ~ the kingdom of Mathura was earlier known
as Braj, perhaps the name derived from Vajrasan. All places associated with Lord Krishna
enamour us .. .. nearer Mathura, is Gokulam, Brindavan, Govardhan – the places
where Krishna exhibited so many wonders and grew up along with Balarama.
Today ( 20th Oct
2017 ) is the 5th day of Swami Manavaala
Mamunigal Uthsavam celebrated as “Annakoota Uthsavam.” On this
day, lot of Chakkarai pongal, kadambam and other such offerings are
made to Perumal. This is to commemorate the lifting of ‘Govardhana Giri’ by
Lord Krishna on the day when it rained very heavily when the cowherds were
making offerings to Indira. Govardhana (गोवर्धन) is a 8km long hill located
near the town of Vrindavan, in the Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh – it is
the sacred hills of Braj. Lord Krishna as he grew up,
saw preparations for the annual offering to Indra and questioned his
father Nandagopala, instructed the villagers on what their dharma as farmers was.
An angered Indira flooded the village. Lord Krishna protected the village
people and their cattle by lifting the Govardhana hill with his little finger.
Understand that in Northern
part, hundreds of sweet dishes are offered to Lord Krishna on this day. Here is
a photo taken from the web of - which depicts hundreds of sweets
offered on the altar in the shape of Govardhan hill.
Today evening at
Thiruvallikkeni, on the occasion of Anna Kooda Uthsavam, there was the
magnificent purappadu of Lord Parthasarathi – It was a
very rare Darshan to behold… Here are some photos of 5th day
festival of Sri Manavala Mamunigal Uthsavam at Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam

இன்று மணவாள மாமுனிகள் உத்சவம் அன்னக்கூட உத்சவம் என பிரசித்தி. இன்று பெருமாளுக்கு கதம்பம் முதலான அன்னங்கள் அமுது
செய்விக்கப் படுகின்றன.'இந்திரனுக்கு என்று ஆயர்கள் எடுத்த எழில்
விழவில்’ என 'கோவர்தனகிரி' பிரபாவம் நினைவு கூறப்படுகின்றது.
ஸ்ரீ பார்த்தசாரதி பெருமாள் 'ஆயர் குலத்தில்' வந்து உதித்தவராக கோல் (சாட்டை),
தலைப்பாகை, தண்டம், என அணிந்து மிக அழகாக சேவை சாதித்தார். "சீலை குதம்பை ஒரு காது, ஒரு காது செந்நிற மேல் தோன்றிப் பூ" என கண்ணன் கன்றுகள் மேய்த்துவரக் கண்டு
யசோதை மகிழ்ந்ததை பெரியாழ்வார் அனுபவித்த வண்ணம், ஸ்ரீபார்த்தசாரதி தனது காதுகளில் 'ஓலை மற்றும் பூ' போன்ற திருவாபரணங்களை அணிந்து கொண்டு அழகான
பட்டு உடுத்தி, கைகளில்
வளைகள் அணிந்து சேவை சாதித்தது நம் போன்றோர்க்கு கிடைத்தற்கரியது.
