Thiruvallikeni Parthasarathi kovil Darisanam

I landed in chennai on 26th October. 2013, traveling from Chicago. I was happy, being Saturday, that I had the opportunity to visit the famous and one amongst 108 divya desams, Sri parthasarathy kovil, also known as Brindaranya Kshetram. The beauty and majestic appearance of the Lord Venkatakrishnan and Utsavar Partha Sarthi are indeed a delight and treat to the eyes and takes one, to the days of Mahabharata war when Lord Krishna performed Geethopadesam to Arjuna.  Lord Krishna (Parthasarathy) reveals His vibhuthi to Arjuna (Chapter 10 verses ). Lord Krishna says that he is the best amongst all(visit

if one gets the opportunity to get the divine darshan of lord VenkataKrishnan, the above vibhuthi description of Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita describes only a insignificant percentage of His mahima. Perhaps Lord krishna was very modest in narrating his Mahima in Gita.

Parthasarathi temple is so unique in that the temple hosts five moolavars namely Lord Rama, Lord Ranganatha, Lord Narasimha, Lord Varadaraja and Lord Venkatakrihnan.  In addition there is separate sannathi for Andal. I was able to visit all above sannathi.

26th being Ayppasi punarpusam, purappadu (Procession) of  Lord Rama Utsavar idol was going on. The famous Thiruvallikeni adhyapaka  goshti chanted 105 pasurams of kulasekhara azhwar. I was happy to see some very young boys chanting the pasurams. Pathigams(group of 10 pasurams) ஊனேறு செல்வத்து உடல் பிறவி யான் வேண்டேன்  and 
மன்னு புகழ் கோசலைதன் மணிவயிறு வாய்த்தவனே are a great tribute to Lord Thiruvengadamudaiyan and Lord Rama from Kulasekara Azhwar.

Let me end the posting with a song on Lord Venkatakrishnan.
