எழில்விழவில், பழநடைசெய் ~ ஆழ்வார்கள்தமிழ்அற்புதமானது. என்னே ஒரு நடை. அநாதி ஆசாரமாக பல வருடங்களாக நடந்துவரும் சிறந்த உத்சவத்திலே .
On
day 7 of Manavala Mamunigal Uthsavam
this day – 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
~ Govardhanagiri 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
( 8th Nov 2018 ) on 7th day of
Swami ManavaalaMamunigalUthsavam celebrated as “AnnakootaUthsavam.”
On this day, lot of Chakkaraipongal, kadambam and other
such offerings are made to Perumal. This is to commemorate the lifting of
‘GovardhanaGiri’ 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 of offerings at Vrindavan Ranganji Mandir ( above 2 photos credit my
friend APV Vijay) - which depicts hundreds of sweets offered on the
altar in the shape of Govardhan hill.
Today
evening at Thiruvallikkeni, on the occasion of Anna KoodaUthsavam, there
was the magnificent purappadu of Lord Parthasarathi – It
was a very rare Darshan to behold… Here are some photos of today’s
festive purappadu of Sri ManavalaMamunigalUthsavam at Thiruvallikkenidivyadesam

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.
அடியேன் ஸ்ரீனிவாச தாசன்
