Thiru Pavithrotsavam Thiruvallikkeni 5- 2024: Respondentia Bonds !!!

 

முத்துக்களோ, வைரங்களோ, நன்பொன்னோ  ~ வேறு ஏதும் விலை மிக அதிகமான பொருளோ ? - நமக்கு எதிலே நாட்டம் ?? ஐயம் கிஞ்சித்தும் உளதோ ??  :  சுவாமி நம்மாழ்வாரின் வைர வரிகள் :

 



*பெருங்கேழலார் தம்  பெருங்கண் மலர்ப்புண்டரீகம்  நம் மேல் ஒருங்கே பிறழுவதே **   ~  அன்று  பிரளய  வெள்ளத்திலழுந்தின பூமியை மீட்டு எடுத்த மஹாவராஹரூபாயமயானவர்  தம்முடைய பெரிய செந்தாமரைப்பூப் போன்ற திருக்கண்களை,தன்னை எம்பெருமான் குளிர நோக்கினமை கூறியவாறு,  நம்மேல் வைத்த கடாக்ஷத்தை பற்றி மட்டுமே பேருவகை கொள்தல் நலம். 

 

The history of Chennai, is far older than British settlements, the  black town area came to be known as George Town from 1911 in honour of  King George V when he was crowned,  the Emperor of India.  The Western part of George Town is the Muthialpet area, traversed by couple of  roads running from Madras High Court to Clive Battery, nearer Royapuram Railway.   One among the many lanes is  Pavalakkaran Street housing Sri Venugopala Temple.  It was once the place where diamond and coral trade flourished.  

The Jews imported corals, both in the form of beads and in rough. The place in Muthialpet where they lived was known as Pagadalpet [Coral-town] dating back to 1700s.   A book titled – ‘The English Gentleman Merchant at Work: Madras and the City of London 1660-1740’ by Soren Mentz, mentions that the financial crisis affecting the English market even ruined some of the private merchants in Madras, through respondentias**, as they suffered financial losses when the Captains were declared bankrupt.  After a voyage to Madras in 1721, Captain Martin was declared bankrupt and private merchants like John Adams lost their investment.




 

 

Pearls are attractive.  Palliative care is an approach, an ethic, a multi-disciplinary sub-speciality, not just a new element that can be added and stirred into health systems. Pearl jewellery that glitters needs to be taken care of nicely.   Thousands of miles away, a couple of years ago, two out-of-town jewelry makers who were selling their work at the “Art in the Pearl” festival in Northwest Portland claimed that  someone stole $300,000 of their inventory from the trunk of their car.  It was reported that the woman and her friend  had made a 10-minute stop at a store after the festival closed for the day Saturday. While the pair were in the store, someone opened up their trunk and made off with black jewelry bags containing years’ worth of handmade work,  it was claimed.  The artisan added that some of the stolen items took her weeks to craft -- and that one of the missing necklaces took her more than 200 hours to make. May not be of any interest to us ~ but this dress adorned by Emperuman, made of Pearl [Muthangi] certainly does. On day 5 of annual Pavithrothsavam at Thiruvallikkeni, on 17.9.2024 Emperuman adorned Muthangi. 

 

திருவல்லிக்கேணி திவ்யதேசத்தில்  நடை பெறும் பல்வேறு உத்சவங்களில் ஆவணி மாதம் நிகழும் பவித்ரோத்சவம் சிறப்பு வாய்ந்தது. பவித்ரம் என்ற சொல்லுக்கு 'சுத்தம் அதாவது பரிபூரணமான அப்பழுக்கு இல்லாத ஒன்று' என்று பொருள் கொள்ளலாம். திருப்பவித்ரோத்சவம் ஆவணி மாதம் ஏழு நாட்கள் நடை பெறுகிறது. இன்று 17.9.2024 ஐந்தாம் நாள் புறப்பாட்டின் போது ஸ்ரீ பார்த்தசாரதி முத்தங்கி அணிந்து அற்புத சேவை அளித்தார்.
