The Saint-poetess ANDAL, the avathAram of BhUmi DEvi observed Paavai Nonbhu ( Paavai vratham) to attain Lord KrishNA as Her Husband (BharthA). I will also add the english meaning provided by Dr. anyway long story short, I thought of starting this thread to post Thiruppavai for each day. You know its aadi when the loudspeakers play amman songs. You know its maargazhi when people go for bhajans or you hear thirppavai on the radio early in the morning. Back in India, you feel its kaarthigai maasam when the loudspeakers start playing ayyapan songs in the morning. Now being in the US, you dont feel whether its maargazhi or kaarthigai or aadi unless you really follow it with the tamil calendar. We leave with a handful of prasadham (usually pongal) at the end of it. We finally go to the temple and recite all the 30 Thiruppavai's. the month of Maargazhi in our tamil calendar.īrings back fond memories of my childhood when we used to go for Bhajans in the streets early in the morning in the December cold.
