This
year, theerthavari fell on Saturday, 4th
July 2015 and hence the fortune of darshan during ‘Porvai kalaithal’ and
theerthavari.
Sri
Thelliya Singar had purappadu to Thiruvadi Kovil at East Tank square street and
had ekantha Thirumanjanam. In most
divyadesams, theerthavari would take place in the holy pond when
Chakkarathazhwar would be dipped in ceremonial bath, after which devotees too
would follow. At Thiruvallikkeni, is was
happening at Kairavini pushkarini….alas, when monsoon failed and thirukulam
dried up – it had to be in a big vessel with holy water. Now there is some water in Thirukulam but
that is felt to be not good and hence Chakkarath azhwar theerthavari continues
in ‘ gangalam ‘ – the big vessel.
July
is still different, exceptionally hot – people are sweltering – in such hot Sun
at 1 noon – walking on the street itself is arduous. The passion and commitment of Sripadham
thangigal makes them walk in the hot sun barefooted carrying the Lord on their
shoulders and the Veda goshti with even elderly people follows – divine happenings
of Thiruvallikkeni – a darshan to behold.
Azhwar
Emperumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale saranam ! Obeisance to all kainkaryabarars
including Battargal, Divyaprabandha Veda goshtigal, Sripadham thangigal.
Adiyen
Srinivasa dhasan.
