Dhanurmas Puja Begins - December 16th
In Bhagawat Gita, lord Krishna has described the month of Mrigashirsha as one of his manifestations.
The month also known as Dhanur Maasa or Margazhi (Dec 14th to Jan 14th), derives its name from the star
Mrigashirsha and is considered very auspicious month for religious services. One-and-half hours before
sunrise is called Brahma Muhurta, an auspicious time best suited for worshipping Lord Vishnu.
Celebration during all the thirty days includes rendering of Sri Andal's Tirupavai Pasurams is early mornings
in all temples and houses. Alwars are 12 in Number and Sri Andal was one of them. She was discovered
by her father, Vishnuchittan, in the temple flower garden. She grew up as a devotee of Vishnu and decided
to be betrothed to Vishnu. She wrote the thirty verses known as Tiruppavai during the Dhanurmasam, and
the end of the month was wedded to Vishnu in temple at Srirangam. Hence the practice of rendering
Tiruppavai and the Kalyanotsavam at the end of the month.
VAIKUNTHA EKADASHI AND GITA JAYANTHI - December 18th
In an ancient story, Ekadashi is a devi, or angel, born of Vishnu’s mind,
a fierce defender of righteousness, a protectress of those in need.
Strengthened by unfailing devotion to God Vishnu, she was feared
by the forces of evil and ignorance. Vishnu offered her the boon of being
rich, famous, powerful and beautiful in the world of mortals.
But she declined, saying she wanted only to share her blessings with humans
who fast and pray to Him on ekadashi. Vishnu granted her wish, decreeing that
anyone worshiping Him by fasting on the eleventh day of the moon would be
allowed access through the celestial gates
Of the two dozen ekadashis in a year, Vaikunta Ekadashi reigns supreme.
It is known as Mokshada, “bestowing liberation.” On this day, the doors to
Vishnu’s divine abode, called Vaikunta Dwara, are open wide to all who seek
salvation.
Devotees maintain a total or partial fast and observe mauna, silence, while
remembering Vishnu in prayer. While many fast on all ekadashis, Vaikunta
Ekadashi is observed with utmost diligence and self-restraint.
