Dear Members:
The auspicious Aadi Pooram festival falls on August 9, 2013 this year. It marks the appearance of the devotee-par-excellence Aandaal on earth (it was on this day when Shri Vishnu chittar - later hailed as Periyaazhwaar - found Aandal as a child when he was plucking flowers for daily pooja). This is celebrated with gaiety in all Vaishnavite temples. This day is also auspicious for propitiation of Mother Goddess in any of Her Forms. It is customary to offer bangles, turmeric pieces, blouse-bits or other auspicious items to ladies visiting temples and invoke the Blessings of Divine Mother (Shaastras say that when women are venerated, She Herself is Honoured).
A maa-vilakku pooja was done at our residence today on this occasion and special prayers were raised for the welfare of all our paarayanam group members during that pooja.
May Divine Grace be with us all.
Blessed be.
