Alangarapriyan – Brahmothsavam 2008 Picture Gallery – Day 6

Day 6 alangaram in Singapore Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple is Gaja Vahanam. In this vahanam, Perumal is decorated as Sri Lakshmi Narayanan with Sri Bhu Devi. Likewise, I have done the same alangaram but with some minor changes. (i.e I have added Sangu & Chakaram and Sri Lakshmi’s right hand is on Perumal’s shoulder).

The pictures are now online and I hope you will enjoy them as much I did.

Divya Prabhandam CD Review

Recently, I acquired a copy of a music CD titled ‘Divya Prabhandam’. Unlike most of the Divya Prabhandam CDs, this is not sung in the usual paarayanam style but in a carnatic one instead. All the songs found in this CD are very melodious and of exceptional quality. 

Those who are interested to get a copy may email me (mahesha0@gmail.com). I have used a track (Margazhi Thingal) from this CD in one of my videos. I am very grateful to Parandaman for allowing me to do this. Do listen to this song and I am very sure after doing so, you would want to purchase a copy of this CD. My favourites are, Margazhi Thingal and Uzhuvathor Padaiyum.

Here is the CD cover, contents and an introduction to the songs.

Adding New Category – Devotional Music!

Apart from sharing with you about news, information, photographs and websites of interest, I have decided to add another category called ‘Devotional Music’. This decision came very recently when I happen to buy this CD called ‘Divya Prabhandam’. I will share with you more about this fablous CD  and others that I have listen to so far in the coming week. So, stay tuned!

Alangarapriyan – Brahmothsavam 2008 Picture Gallery – Day 5

The day 5 alangaram which is Hanumantha Vahanam is now online!. This is my first time that I have done this sort of sathupadi for Sri Srinivasa Perumal on Hanumantha Vahanam. The traditional way of doing this in the Singapore Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple would be to hang the right feet down the shoulder of Hanuman and cross the left leg over Hanuman’s head.

I have not come across this type of sathupadi done in any temples. After doing this alangaram, I had this sence of great satisfaction that Sri Ramar seems to be very comfortable on the shoulders of his greatest baktha!

I hope you will enjoy this alangaram as much I did!.

Dear readers of this blog, finally after many decades of neglect, a team of good hearted devotees have come together to renovate a Vishnu temple in the outskirts of Srirangam.

This dilapidated temple is located in a village called Gopurapatti. It is situated on the way to ‘Thirupangli’ from ‘Azhagiya Manavalam’ near Mannachanallur.  Just today, 16th April 08, Bhumi Pooja and Baalalayam prayers were carried out in this temple by Sri Murali Battar of Srirangam.

If you would like to donate to this cause, please contact Shri C.Ramachandran, President, Sri Adhinayaga Perumal Kainkarya Sabha, Gopurapatti – Mobile number (+91) 98424-91322 .

Here are some pictures and information about the prayers that were held earlier today.
