Srimadh Azhgiya Singar thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri kOmaLa vaLLi thAyAr samEtha Sri ArA amuthan thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri Amudhan SamprOkshanam and ChAthur mAsya sankalpam - Part 1 adiyEn poured my heart and soul for Sri Amudhan kainkaryam and sought everyone's helpand so I am obliged to give a feed back on this. Due to Sri Amudhan's thiru uLLam, adiyEn took off to India just prior to samprOkshnam in a somwhat unplanned for trip. adiyEn went to Sri Oppiliappan and Sri boomA dEvi thAyar straight from chennai Airport. After that adiyEn went to worship the holy feet of my achAryAL Sri Azhagiya Singar at sArangapAni sannithi Street. adiyEn did vingYabanam to His Holiness to do ponnadi sARRaL to adiyEn father's gruham. adiyEn later joined the yAga sAlai celbrations and ghOsti. It was really touching and emotional for 1000's who had gathered Sri KomaLa valli thAyAr and Sri Amudhan took out to (processions) puRappAdu from their shrine after 6 years in the presence of Srimadh Azhagiya Singar. Many literally cried and yelled at this kAtchi and it cannot be simply spelled by a few words but only an anubavam of this can explain one'e love for their very favourite deity. Some even said that thAyAr was coming like a puLLi mAn and "kuthicchi kuthichhu vanthAL". The purAppAdu ofcourse will end in yAga sAlai as the divya dampathis will witness the vEdha adhyAyanam and ghOshti in the pooranAhuthis. There were 7 pooranAhuthis performed altogether. It all started the day I landed with the "than punal soozh kAveri neer" brought in a huge procession and on elephant tops to the yAga sAlai. There were two pooranAhuthis every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The last one was done on the morning of the samprOkshanam day. adiyEn participated in all these pooranAthis except but the first. adiyEn was also given the bAgyam to do sankalpam for the pooranAhuthis for one full day on day 2 on behalf of all bhakthAls of Sri komalA and Sri amuthan. Only 2 other VVip's were given such privilege on day 1 and day 3. Our achAryAL was present during all poornAhuthis and presided over it. Though the evening pooranAhuthis will end at 11:30 PM or so our beloved Jeer was still present even at that late hour. This being the Sri bAskara kshEthram and as well Sri Sudarshana AzhwAr's (Sri thirumazhisai AzhwAr) saranAgathi ksEthram there is no need to explain about the intensity of the heat emerging from the yAhAgni. Unmindful of that scorching heat wave our Jeer stayed very close with this pooranAhuthis every time and blessed the occasion. Everytime a select few of us (VIPs* of the town) will bring the samarpanam in a procession to the agni gundams. Each time a new costly silk saree was also given to yAhAgni in addition to other ingradients. Chathur vedams were recited one after the other and then the gOshti was sung in an extremely resonating and reverbrating way to this drAvi sruthi darsanan Sri Amuthan. adiyEn took part in the gOshti every day. Every day one pathigam will be sung after this veda pArayanam to mark the end of pooranAhuthis.
