Dear BhakthAs : Thirumazhisai was born during Thai Maasam ,
when the constellation of Maham was in ascendance .
Jan 16 th was the day when Maham and Pooram
jointly were in ascendance . They follow each other .
Maham comes first . Pooram follows .
My mind was still full of ANDAL and Aadi Pooram .
Hence I have mistakenly attributed Thai Pooram
as the day of Thirunakshathram for THirumazhisai
AzhwAr. That is an avoidable mistake on my part.
Please excuse me and correct my posting to read
Thai Maham as his birth star and month .
Thanks very much for your understanding .
