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).
This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi ….. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !

Thirupaavai Paasuram #18 is all about women empowerment and reaching out to Thayar (Goddess) before Mahavishnu !!
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.
In Paasuram #16 Andal teaches us about the power of words and how we should use them judiciously ! Words can hurt deeply.
In Paasuram #15 Andal showcases good friendships that stay strong despite arguments :).
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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. 🙂
