Sri Anjaneyar
As all of you are aware, a temple for Lord Dhanvantari, the God of Health, is being constructed near Walajapet, Vellore district. Many idols have already been consecrated there. The customary practice as per Hindu scriptures is that any God or idol, before being ere
cted / consecrated (prathishtai) , that should be taken on a urvalam to many towns for Darshan by all people. This urvalam is called KARIKKOL urvalam. Once the urvalam, which lasts for months, is completed, the God is taken to the temple and Prathishtai done for regular poojai.
As part of this Urvalam, Sri Sakkarathu Azhwar, Sri Rahu Bhagawan, Sri Kethu Bagawan were brought to Chennai a few months ago and our house-owner at karpagam avenue had arranged (by paying an amount) for the Lord to be brought to our house at 24 / 89 K avenue. That time we all performed Paal Abhishekam to the God. These idols have since been consecrated at the temple.
Last Saturday - 17 March 2007 - Sri Anjaneya (in Sanjeevani Mountain Lifting Posture) was brought to our house. As it was during 11AM, I had invited some of our relatives at Chen
nai to come to our house, have Darshan of the God, and be blessed.
Saroja akka, Ramamurthy athimber, Mangalam, Gopi, Sugavanam, Girija, Krithika's appa, amma, Arun, Gayathri, Sowmya came to our house. As fortune would have it, Ashok and Neeraja also arrived from blr ( a coincidence) . We had a wonderful Darshan and we performed Archanai to Sri Anjaneya. This idol has been sculpted from a single rock.
After being in our house for nearly 3 hours, the Urvalam proceeded to other destinations. He will be consecrated soon and the Maha Kumbhabhishekam for the Temple is on April
1st.As part of Prasadam, Vijaya and Krithika prepared Sakkarai Pongal, Vadai, Thengai Sadam, Thayir Sadam. Our house-owner similarly prepared prasadams and we and our many neighbours shared the prasadam.
Later, our relatives left for their houses. Thus it was a wonderful day for all us.
