SrI: Dear ANDAL BhakthAs : Every year on KoodArai Vellum Seer Govindhaa" ThiruppAvai Paasura dinam , Sri Ahobila Matam observes the tradition of presenting Akkaravadisil to Sundara Simham alias Periya PerumAL in hundreds of Silver vessels consecrated with Sanka-Chakram and ThirumaNN during the visEsha dhanur maasa AarAdhanam by Srimath Azhagiya Singar . This tradition is based on ANDAL's own promise of offering hundred vessels of AkkArvadisil to ThirumAlirum ChOlai Sundarabaahu PerumAL , if He were to appear before Her to accept them . In previous years , many of you have sponsored one or more of the Silver Vessels of AkkAravadisil presented to MalOlan ; at the end of the celebration , yourself or some one representing you is blessed to recieve that silver vessel with AkkAravadisil as a gift to take home and use that vessel for Bhagavath AarAdhanam or to present it as personal gift to your Family Members and friends on auspicious occasions . adiyEn invites you to join in this year's AkkAravadisil samarpaNam to Malolan at Selayur (East Tambaram) on Jan 11 , 2007 . The sponsorship of each Silver vessel of AkkAravadisil this year would need $60 or Indian Rupees 2,500 . The cost of making the Silver vessel alone in these days of enhanced price of Silver is Rs.2,400 . The remaining Rs.100 goes towards the coverage of cost of rich ingredients used for the SamarpaNam and other incidental expenses . It is a great soubhAgyam to sponsor silver vattils of AkkAravadisil to Malolan on this sacred day and recieve your samarpaNa vattil for your poojaa graham from the hands of Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha AarAdhakar on that day . Poet SrivilliputthUr Azhagar has captured very well the appearance of the JyOthrimaya Murthy enjoying the Paanakam offering this way. adiyEn has taken the liberty to substitute Paanakam with akkAravadisil and seek Sri Azhagar's permission . Here is how the paasuram goes : pErAnandham peRRa Namm Periya PerumAL pirAttiyai madi amarthi mandhahAsamAi AarA amudha" akkAravadisilAm saamrpaNam" yERkka Azhagiya SingarAi aruLuhirAr AhObilatthE (Meaning) : Our Lord Azhagiya Singar beams with joy as He seats His dear consort on His left lap and enjoys the loving offering of Akkaaravadisil from His BhakthAs at Ahobilam .He sports a sweet smile as He enjoys the company of His Devi and the delightful akkAravadisil . Among the ten avathArams of the Lord , Sri NrusimhAvathAram is very special from the perspective of Bhaktha RakshaNam and Dhushta nigraham . ANDAL and Her dear Father have celebrated the Vaibhavam of Lord Narasimhan in many of their Pasasurams . SrivilliputthUr poet Azhagar refers to the uniquenes of Sri NrusimhAvathAram as celebrated by ANDAL and seeks the anugraham of ANDAL , who blessed us with the Muktha BhOgAvaLi of AkkAravadisil in the 27th Pasasuram of ThiruppAvai ( KoodArai vellum Seer Govindha) . Dear SrI ANDAL samEtha Nrusimha BhakthAs residing in India and Overseas : Please join in this annual AkkAravadisil SamarpaNam and sponsor the Vattil(s) and be blessed with them at the end of the SamarpaNam .
