ThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 30: Vanga Kadal KadaindhaToday is the day, when the MahA Prabhandam of Soodikkoduttha NaacchiyAr, Andal, comes to the stage of SaatthumuRai. It is the culmination of the nonbu vratham and the attainment of oneness with the Lord for Andal. It is UttharAyaNa PuNya Kaalam. It is Makara SankarAnthi dinam. May her endearing message for our upliftment to reach Her Lord's Lotus feet easily serve as a beacon light for us all! 2025-01-1415 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 29: Sittram Siru KaalaiLet us always, even unto our 7th birth (ezh Ezh Piravikkum) be with Thee, serving Thy will alone! Oh GovindhA! Change all other desires in us into this unique aspiration to be Thy humble servant. This is the last pAsuram in which Andal in the form of Gopis addresses the Lord.,asking for the true reason for the nonbu- the eternal bonding with the Lord - to serve him for ever. 2025-01-1309 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 28: Karavaigal Pin SendruThis pAsuram highlights sharanagathi aspects: the helplessness (incapable of doing Karma/Gyana/Bhakti Yogas), understanding our relationship with Him, asking for forgiveness and surrendering to Him through an Acharya. We are mere cowherds, illiterate and ignorant, we are blessed to have you be born amongst us. Do not be angry at us if we called you familiar names- bless us despite our sins, says Andal2025-01-1211 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 27: Koodarai Vellum Seer GovindAThe most delectable of the pAsurams as we finally finish the vratam/Nonbu and get to enjoy the ghee laden Akkara Vadisal! A true divine experience of bliss at the sight of the Lord giving the Gopis the items they came seeking to sing His Glory! They call Him by the name "Govindan" for the first time. The closeness of the gopis in addressing the Lord whom they addressed 27 days ago as Narayana! They get so lost in Govinda, the next 2 pAsurams also refer to Him as Govinda. 2025-01-1108 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 26- Maale ManivannaAndal and the Gopis get to be with Krishna and are getting whatever they wanted from Him for the vow. The conch (produces the sacred 'Aum' sound, Narayana), Lamp (knowledge of the Lord), flags (sense of belonging to the Lord, Garuda), the Adisesha cover or pandal (enveloped in pure knowledge) and drums/parai (Vedas, symbolic of moksha, salvation).2025-01-1008 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 25- Orutthi Maganai PirandhuHaving seen Krishna, Andal sings that the gopis are overwhelmed by His presence and sing his glory and seek His company rather than get the Parai they originally sought from him2025-01-0906 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 24- Andru Ivvulagam AlandhaiThis pAsuram is one of the most auspicious one in ThiruppAvai. It sings the glory of Lord Narayana in the form of pallAndu!
On a lighter note, this could be a description of a hexathlete-
Long jump (ivvulagam aLandhaay), Archery ( then ilangai seRRaay, Ramavataram), Football (udhaiththaay), Discus throw (eRrindhaay), Weight lifting (edundhaay)and Javelin (Vel) 2025-01-0806 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 23- Maari malai muzhainjilAndal invokes the Lion King of the World, Lord Narasimha, who protected his bhaktas and destroyed those who stood in the way of bhakti. The vision she paints is that of a majestic Lion waking up from restful slumber in its cave during a rainy season! 2025-01-0706 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 22 - Angan Maa jñAlatthuApproaching the Lord as Sharanagathas at His feet, Andal says bless us as we are like Arjuna, seeking only His presence 2025-01-0608 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 21- Yettra Kalangal"Mattrar vazhi tholaitthu un vasarkan"- Your enemies turned devotees at your doorstep as they wait to be blessed by You. We Gopis too wait for you, having shed our egos, We totally surrender to You2025-01-0507 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 20- Muppathu MooverOh compassionate Lord who rescued the devas, Gajendra and others, won't you resuce us also from this Samsara2025-01-0406 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 19- Kuttu vilakkeriyaUsing a traditional kutthu vilakku with its 5 faces/wicks as an analogy for 5 forms of the Lord, 5 knowledge sources, etc., Andal is pleading to Nappinnai and Krishna to wake up and bless them. They chide the piratti for not sharing the Lord's grace with them2025-01-0304 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 08- Keezhvanam VellendruIn addition to the deep spiritual insight gleaned from the passages of this paasuram, one can not but fall at the sacred feet of ANDAL for Her immaculate poetic skills in the description of the advancement of dawn. Those who have seen the red hue of dawn shifting slowly into different degrees of whiteness as the Sun climbs up can relate well to Her choice words “Keezh Vaanam VeLLenRu”. 2025-01-0203 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 18 - Undhu MadhagalitranThe Lord's consort, Piratti, holds an esteemed position of recommending devotees to be offered moksha. So it's customary to take her blessings before approaching the Lord. She is filled with love for the devotees and kind enough to overlook minor blemishes of the souls, unlike the Lord who would go strictly by the rules. This pasuram is therefore significant.2025-01-0206 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 17- AmbaramE ThanneerEHaving entered the palace, the gopis set about waking up the 4 occupants of the residence. 2025-01-0105 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 16- NAyakanAi NindraHaving successfully woken up the Gopis, now they all approach the entrance of Nandagopala's palace.

One who knows Rama and Krishna must share that knowledge with others like Ramanuja shared with everyone 2024-12-2805 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 12- Kanaithilan KattrerumaiEven the thought of the calf makes the buffalo produce milk which is flowing profusely throughout the house. This waste happens because someone forgot to do their mitts karma- daily duties 2024-12-2705 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 11- Kattru KaravaigalAndal invokes the hidden and patent qualities of the Lord and reminding that the learned bhakta is the one being woken up2024-12-2603 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 10 - Nottru SuvargamOh Learned one, don’t ignore us and enjoy the company of the Lord alone!

She wants the knowledge from the AchAryas to shower down upon us2024-12-1911 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 03- Ongi UlagalandhaThe fruits of the vrtham are beautifully described here. The eternal bliss (Neengatha selvam) one can get from taking Lord Sriman Narayana's name - here in the form of Lord Trivikraman. 2024-12-1813 minThiruppAvaiThiruppAvai pAsuram 02: Vaiyathu VaazveergalIn this verse Andal gives directions on what a bhakta must do to attain the Lord's grace.
