• June 5, 1999


Dear Bhagavathas,
This is a small contribution of myself (long pending)about the vadivazhagu of Thirumangai Azhwar by Manavala Maamunigal . Here it starts...

Anaitha Velum, Thozhutha kaiyum
Azhunthia ThiruNAmum Omenra Vayum
Uyarntha mookum Kulirntha mugamum
Parantha Vizhiyum Pathitha nerriyum
Neritha puruvamum Surunda kuzhalum
Vadintha kaathum Asaintha Kaathu kaapum
Tzhntha Seviyum Sarintha Kazhuthum
Aganra maarbum Thiranda Thozhum
Nelintha Muthugum Kuvintha Idaiyum
allik kaiyrum  Azhunthia Seeravum
Thookia KarungKovaiyum Thongalum thani maalaiyum
thaliru Milirumai Nirkinra  nilaiyum
Saathia Thiru Thandaiyum sathirana Veerak kazhalum
tanjamana Thazhlinaiyum Kunthi itta kanaiKazhlum
kuliravaitha thiruvadi malarum Vaaitha Manang Kollaiyum
vayalali manavalanum
Vadinen Vadi Padi Vazhvith aruliya neelak kalikanri
maruvalartham udal tunia Vaazh veesum  Parakalan
Mangai Mannana Vadive!!!

There are few more paras which I will continue in short time...

In Thiruvali Thirunagari when Manavala maamunigal was staying he enjoyed the Azhwars Vadivazhagu and composed this one. I would like to invite every one of you to come and visit Thirunagari and have a glimpse of Azhwar during Urchams
  Kaarthigai- Azhwar's Tirunakshatram
Thy Ammavasai - Naangur Garuda Sevai
Panguthiram - Vedupari
then you will really appreciate the vadivazhagu what Manavala Maamunigal has described.
It smy own experience that during Sathumurai that too when reciting vadivazhagu of Azhwar , every one will run out of tears , O ! what an experience it was! I would like every one you to come and have the same which you can not describe by simple words..
Come and get the blessings of Vayalali manavalan, Yoga Narasimhar and Thirumangai Azhwar at Thirunagari...

Thiru mangai Azhwar Thiruvadigale saranam!
