இன்று 18.12.2018
வைகுண்ட ஏகாதசி நன்னாள். ஸ்ரீவைஷ்ணவ உலகமே கொண்டாடும் ஓர்
அற்புத நாள். இன்று முதல் பத்து நாள்கள் அனைத்து கோயில்களிலும் எம்பெருமான்,
சடகோபராகிய நம்மாழ்வார் அருளிய தமிழ் மறையாம் திருவாய்மொழியை அனுபவித்து பத்தாம்
நாள் நம்மாழ்வார் அனுபவித்த பரமபத அனுபவத்தை 'திருவடி தொழல்' எனும் நிகழ்வில் காரிமாறனை
திரும்ப அளித்து நமக்கு அருள் செய்வான். பத்து நாட்கள் பகல் பத்து உத்சவம் முடிந்து,
இன்று முதல் இராப்பத்து.
On the day of Vaikunda
Ekadasi in the morning @ around 04.30am Sri
Parthasarathi bedecked in precious jewels entered Paramapada vassal and gave
darshan to His devotees throughout seated in the beautiful ‘Punyakodi vimanam’
at Thiruvaimozhi mandapam. The auspicious Vaikunda Ekadasi heralds the start of
‘Irapathu’ Uthsavam. As the name suggests, there will be celebrations for
10 nights.
Those who
frequent Thiruvallikkeni would know this….. still can you guess the time whence
the Irapathu Uthsavam purappadu on day 1 took place and around which time –
Thiruvaimozhi’ muthal pathu – was rendered ??
நம்மாழ்வாரின் அற்புத வரிகளில் : ஸ்ரீமன் நாராயணன் ~
'பத்துடையடியவர்க்கு எளியவன்'
- அவனிடத்தில் பக்தி கொண்ட அடியார்களுக்கு, சுலபன் என எளியவனாய், அவர்களுக்கு வேண்டிய எல்லா நலன்களையும்
அளிப்பவன்.. During Pagal Pathu, the Muthaliyaram and
Thirumozhi of Thirumangai Mannan are rendered. It is time for
Nammalwar’s Thiruvaimozhi during Irapathu. In the Thiruveethi purappadu,
all the 10 days, ‘Upadesa Rathinamalai’ of Acharyar Sri
Manavala Maamunigal is recited. After the conclusion of the Purappadu, inside
the temple before the Lord in the Grand sabha of all Azhwars and Acharyas,
every day 100 songs from the Thiruvoimozhi of Nammazhwaar gets recited.
The day of Vaikunda Ekadasi being day 1 it was ‘muthal pathu’ of
Thiruvaimozhi.
At Thiruvallikkeni,
devotees thronged the temple in tens of thousands to have glimpse of His
darshan and the queues got extended to many streets in the vicinity. At
around 11 am, there was Thirumanjanam of Sri Parthasarathi. After Thirumanjanam, at
around 11.30 pm (midnight) – there was the Periya maada veethi purappadu
– Irapathu day 1 purappadu. There were thousands of bakthas on the street
waiting to have His darshan. Those waiting in the queue and those who
were returning to their parked vehicles after having darshan were enthralled to
see Swami Nammalar and Sri Parthasarathi in purappadu – for some coming from
distant places, such a grand purappadu and having darshan of Perumal in close
quarters were exceptionally divine. At around 12.30 am of 19.12.18, there was Thiruvaimozhi Muthal pathu goshti and
sarrumurai….an hour or so later, hundreds of people had the fortune of
His theertha and other prasadams.
From this day on, Paramada vassal will be opened in the evening
with Swami Nammalwar receiving Him. Here are some photos of Sri
Parthasarathi and Swami Nammalwar of day 1 of Irapathu.
