You rquestion on anadhyayana kAlam.

Dear SrI Balaji:

Since I have not seen any responses to your question so far, I am 
summarizing the information published in SrI Ra'nganAtha pAdukA, Jan. 
2003 Issue, under "Questions and Answers" section.  The following 
refelcts the vaDa kalai sampradAyam position:

"SrI Kaliyan started the adhyayana utsavam in SrI ra'ngam.  On the 
day of tiruk kArtigai, he brought SrI nammAzhvAr from triuk kurugUr, 
bearing him on his shoulders.  After the 10th day after vaikunTha 
ekAsaSi day, SrI nammAzhvAr was taken back to tiruk kurugUr.  He 
arrived at tiruk kurugUr on the day of the hasta nakshatram in the 
tamizh month of tai (the month after mArgazhi).  The devotees of 
tiruk kurugUr waited for SrI nammAzhvAr to be back before they 
resumed the chanting of tiruvAimozhi, and resumed the chanting only 
after his arrival.  This same rule has since been adopted for all the 
AzhvAr's aruLic ceyal-s. It is a coincidence that the hastam 
nakshatram of tai month happens to the birth star of kUrattAzhvAr.  
Following this practice, the chanting of tiruppallANDu in houses of 
SrI vaishNava-s is started on the hasta nakshatram day of the tai 
month.  The practice in temples differs depending on the temples.  

Even during the anadhyayana kAlam, the vaDa kalai sampradyam 
followers are permitted to chant the divya prabandha taniyans and SrI 
deSika prabandham in the temples as well as in the houses, according 
to the niyamanam of svAmi deSikan's tiruk-kumArar, SrI kumAra 
nayinAccArya and SrI brahma tantra svatantra jeeyar".

The above response was provided in SrI ra'nganAtha pAdukA by SrI 
nATTEri kiDAmbi rAjagopAlAcArya, and reflects the position of the 
vaDa kalai sampradAyam.

Hi All,

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha; 

I have joined this group recently .. I am sure definitely somebody 
would have
answered this question..If yes can someone forward me the archive ID

I would like to know why the 'Prabhandam' should not be rendered 
during the
month of Margazhi ? Some people are telling that the Prabhadam sevai 
should not
be performed till the "Koorathazhvar Nakshatram" (in the month of 
Thai) but
some people are telling that it can be performed once the Margazhi 
month is
over? Which one is correct ? What is the reason behind it ?
