KATHAM️
This ♋️ āḍi vélli (Friday) is a 🎈special 🙏 day for all 🙇♀️devotees 🙇♂️ as well as the tamiḻ nāḍu government, whose emblem has (apart from the bhāratīya national emblem & tricolour 🇮🇳), the temple tower🛕 <gopuram̐> of śrī-villi-putt-ūr for one of the greatest 🙏 devotees of all times.
Yes, it’s time to celebrate the 🐜 anthill ⛰ town <putt-ūr>‘s 🧞♂️mystical🧞cobra 🐍 <nāga-caturti>, the one who wore him as the world’s first 🧞♀️belt to troubleshoot 🏹 <vināyaki-caturti>, the holy & latently-potent ♦️pre-reddish 🟥 one <tiru-āḍi-pūram̐> i.e. δ & θ Leoni ♌ <pūrva-phālguni> & hence, of course, āṇḍāl jayanti. 🎁 🎂
Naturally, universal consciousness <viṣṇu-citt-ar> evolves & transforms to great devotion💕 <péri-āḻvār>, discovering & raising that ultimate principle which immersively 👑rules all <āṇḍāl> & thus delivers sacredly delicate innocence <tiru-pāvai> & a divinely feminine diction <nāciyār tiru-moḻi>.
Is there any doubt then that there’s a linguistic proximity of cittar to siddhar, as consciousness is indeed true power? Interestingly, the Wood Apple <bilvā> leaves🍁 are auspicious to our own 🔱nothingness 0️⃣ as well as to our 🧜♀️prosperity💰. Indeed, the latter is truly born of the former.
Amongst the dozen disciples of the ‘son of God,’ one stood out as a 🧟♂️betrayer. In contrast, amongst the dozen liberated 🙇devotees 🏊🏼immersed🏊 <āḻvār> in our own everythingness ♾, one ☝️ stands out as its 🧝♀️spouse, that’s symbolic of the ultimate level of proximity🎯 to the universal, prior to unification.
In the process, this incarnation <avatār> of our 🤱 Mother Earth 🌏 <bhū-dēvi> wears a 🌺🌸 garland 🌼🌻 of 🌹🥀 flowers 💐🌷 meant for universal 🙇♀️worship🙇♂️ inadvertently adding her 💆🏻♀️hair to it, earning the epithet of gō-dā dēvi. What an engrossing metaphor❗️ Indeed, our universe🌌 is all-inclusive by its very definition & thus, our 🌎Earth🌍 is of course an integral part of it.
According to the śrīmad bhāgavatam̐, bhakti was 🤰🏻born👶🏻in TN, raised👧 in karnāṭakā, married👰 in mahārāṣṭrā, aged 👵 in gujarāt & rejuvenated🧖♀️ in vṛindāvan, āṇḍāl being a perfect action replay♻️ just about 1,300 years ago of that immaculate 🤰🏻rebirth👶🏻 of devotion to all that we do <bhakti> in the prosperous land of Cupid 💘 - the archer of love 💓 ; & 🐜 anthills⛰<śrī-villi-putt-ūr>!
As we discovered last month, the waxing/viṇāyaki caturti🌒, occurs today, as per its definition, 4 days after a latently-potent 💪 & knowledge🧠 <jñāna>-endowed āṣāḍhā/āḍi/bhīmā/ati amāvasyā 🌑 , for us to recognise the omnipresent 🕉divinity right within us & hence become the omnipotent💪 troubleshooters 🏹ourselves!!!
That’s the vibe of the day today... so let’s all endeavour through our 🧘♀️sādhanā🧘🏽♂️ today to be limitlessly responsible troubleshooters🏹ourselves for everything in LIFE, period... not in a narrow-minded ‘our’ life or ‘their’ lives!
Here’s the dream to become the bride 👰 of the very principle of our attractiveness, welcoming it in all its glory, in the process of eventually merging with it...
vāraṇam āyiram sūḻa valam seidu
nāra-ṇan nambi nadak-kinṛān enn-edir
pūraṇa poṛ-kuḍam vaittup-puṛam eṅgum̐
toraṇam nāṭṭak-kanāk-kaṇḍén toḻi nān - nācchiyār tiru-moḻi

Thanks 🙏 vivẽk. Even if one ☝️ genuine sādhak like you is touched by these offerings to further enhance their sādhanā, I am sure my precious but minuscule lifetime has been well spent.
