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 .

the appropriate number of Silver vattils.
