Sri Udayavar Pushpa Pallakku
2018
Today, 18th Apr 2o18 is day 7 of Swami Udayavar Uthsavam ~ in the
morning it was pallakku and in the evening the fragrant ‘pushpa pallakku’
(palanquin made of flowers). Flowers are
fragrant and are naturally attractive – the pushpa pallakku – with many strands
of jasmine pervading is unique as it is
a treat to mind, eyes and ears.
The most learned, most
humble and most kind Sri Ramanujar showered us with his munificence .... here
is how Thiruvarangathu Amuthanar hails the unswerving commitment of Ramanujar
to the Lord Ranganathar at Thiruvarangam. In his words“*பூங்கமலத் தேனதி பாய்வயல் தென்அரங்கன்
கழல் சென்னி வைத்து தானதில் மன்னும் இராமானுசன்*“.... Udayavar has in his heart the lotus feet
of Arangar, the Lord of Srirangam, whose golden feet is flooded and
cleansed by honey gotten from the lotus flowers......... we also need to
have Sri Ramanujar in our heart and be attached to the feet of our Acharyar.
Here are some photos
taken during today’s purappadu which was curtailed to be china mada veethi only.
Last year, it was Sahasrabdi and it was the bigger Pushpa Pallakku,
reminiscing which the three photos of 2017 are also posted here below. (rest are of this year)
adiyen Srinivasadhasan.
