Srivilliputhur, Andal’s Home – Divya Desam #88
We were blessed to receive Andal’s darshan at her home Srivilliputhur in the month of Margazhi… we also received her blessings as Malai Prasadam and her Kili (parrot).
Andal
Thirupaavai Paasuram #18
Thirupaavai Paasuram #18 is all about women empowerment and reaching out to Thayar (Goddess) before Mahavishnu !!
Thirupaavai Paasuram #17
In Paasuram #17 Andal hints at the fact that ego doesn’t help in one’s spiritual growth. So let go of that ego and keep your relationships intact.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #16
In Paasuram #16 Andal teaches us about the power of words and how we should use them judiciously ! Words can hurt deeply.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #15
In Paasuram #15 Andal showcases good friendships that stay strong despite arguments :).
Thirupaavai Paasuram #14
In Paasuram #14, Andal speaks about keeping one’s promises. In the guise of chiding her friend, she is letting us know that we should be watchful while promising something.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #13
In Paasuram #13 Andal speaks about how over sleeping robs you of valuable time. It’s so true … we waste so much time when we are young and then have little time as we age to do things we always wanted to.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #12
Paasuram #12 is all about persistence and grit in the face of constraints as we try and reach our goals in life… a beautiful song !
Thirupaavai Paasuram #11
Andal hints at Satsang in this Thirupaavai Paasuram #11. Masters who have attained Moksha use several methods to take others on the spiritual path… these paasurams are Andal’s way of doing the same.
Thirupaavai Paasuram #10
In Paasuram #10 we see a persistent Andal trying to get another friend who sleeps like Kumbhakarna to join in the Margazhi celebration ! With friends only “chatting” over WhatsApp this is a refreshing paasuram. 🙂
