Aippasi Rohini purappadu 2019 @ Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam

இன்று 14.11.2019  திருவல்லிக்கேணி திவ்யதேசத்தில் தேவகி மைந்தனான ஸ்ரீபார்த்தசாரதி, ரோகிணி  நக்ஷத்திரத்தை முன்னிட்டு சின்னமாடவீதி புறப்பாடு கண்டு அருளினார்.

Today   is Rohini nakshathiram in the month of Aippasi, the star in which Lord Krishna was born. For millions of devotees, there are no doubts whatsoever on the birth of Lord Krishna at Mathura and his growing in the adjoining Gokul, Vrindavan and Govardhana as also the  historicity of Krishna.  In the recent centuries colonial invaders projected Him as a mythical figure cooked up by wonderful stories. According to the  scriptures, Lord Krishna was born around midnight. That night was the eighth phase of the moon known as Ashtami Tithi. The moon was near Vrshabha, the bull, i.e the Taurus constellation that houses the star Rohini.  Astrological studies well researched  with details of sky configurations for events that happened around Krishna’s lifetimes, namely the Mahabharata, leads us to the exact birth date for Krishna which is stated as  3112 BCE.

ஆரே துயருழந்தார் துன்புற்றார் ஆண்டையார்,

காரே மலிந்த கருங் கடலை,- நேரே

கடைந்தானைக் காரணனை, நீரணைமேல் பள்ளி

அடைந்தானை நாளும் அடைந்து.

மேகங்கள் நிறைந்த பெரிய கடலை தானே முன்னின்று கடைந்தவனும் ஸகல ஜகத்காரண பூதனுமானவனும், திருப்பாற்கடலில்  ஆதிசேஷனாகிற அனந்தன் மேல்  பள்ளிக்கொண்டிருப்பவனுமான எம்பெருமானை நாடோறும் பணிபவர்கள்    ஒருபோதும் ஒருவிதமான துக்கங்களையும் அனுபவிக்கமாட்டார்கள்  - அவ்வாறு துயருற்றோர் எங்குமில்லை.

In this World, there exists sufferings and sorrow ~ are there people bereft of sorrow and are eternally blissful ? Who are they ?  – our Peyazhwar shows us the way in his Moonram thiruvanthathi.   

                                      Peyalwar’s advice to the Universe is simple – to those who offer worship everyday to the Lord who reclines in Sesha sayanam,  who churned the ocean, who is the cause of all occurrences and things  - there would seldom by any misery -  Who in this  big World, would suffer, if they are to  prostrate and worship our Lord Ranganatha, our Emperuman Sriman Narayana.  Today it was the blissful occasion of Rohini and there was grand purappadu.

On Rohini day every month, there will be purappadu of Sri Parthasarathi Perumal  at Thiruvallikkeni and here are some photos taken during this evening during today’s Rohini purappadu.
