Question : What is the significance of Uththra star ib phalguni month. It also happens to be today Posted On : 30-03-2018 ANSWER : 1. Laxmi incarnation day from kshirasagara. 2. Tha:yar thirunakshathram at srirangam. 3. Se:rthi uthsavam 4. Gadya thraya avirbhavam day Note : Jewel of the day Phalguna month uththara star is the incarnation day of Mahalakshmi from the ocean of milk (ksheera sagaram) . This is known as Panguni Uththram in Tamil and is celebrated as a big festival in many divya desams. In the month of Panguni (in Tamil Calendar which is Mar thru April) is the appearance of Lord Ranganaatha (Star Revathi) and his divine consort Goddess Ranganayaki thaayaar (Star Uthiram) of Sri Rangam. Thaayaar means mother in Tamil. Panguni Uththram is the only day where the divine couple appear together (se:rthi uthsavam – festival of being together). This is also the day when Swa:mi Ra:ma:nuja seeing the beauty of the divine couple being together poured his heart out in the Gadya Thrayam. The highlight of the day is the quarrel between peruma:l and tha:ya:r. Peruma:l returns this day after being out the whole night the previous day visiting his new consort in Uraiyu:r (a town next to SriRangam). As a result Goddess Rangana:yaki is upset with Lord Rangana:tha: and refuses to open the temple doors in Srirangam. The whole conversation (the quarrel) between perumal and thaayar is enacted by the Arayar swamis of SriRangam. Finally Swami Nammazhvar intervenes and requests thaayar to let perumal in. She finally relents and the Lord enters her shrine and both of them have some alone time. The Lord then goes to the Panguni Uthiram mandapam followed by thaayar. The lord has only eyes for the thaayar at the mandapam and it’s a divine sight. This is a festive time at Srirangam and everyone celebrates with sweets and savouries . The Gadya thrayam is also recited at this time. |
