இன்று 06.01.2020 வைகுண்ட
ஏகாதசி நன்னாள். ஸ்ரீவைஷ்ணவ உலகம் 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,
thence was seated in the beautiful
‘Punyakodi vimanam’ at Thiruvaimozhi mandapam throughout the day. 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 7.1.20, 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.
