Adhyayana Utsavam Begins with Thirunedunthandagam

Adhyayana Utsavam Begins with Thirunedunthandagam

In the entire Nalayira Divya Prabhandham, if there is one thirumozhi (10 Pasurams) that packs Manthra Thrayam, Artha Pachagam, worship the five forms of Sriman Narayana, it is Thirunedunthandagam composed by Parakalan alias Thirumnagai Azhwar. No wonder Sri Parasara Bhattar used this as waepon to win over Sri Madhavachariar in Melkote and bring his as sishya Nanjiyar. Lord Ranganatha was quite impressed not only with Parasara's debating skills but also with the Thiruneduthandagam Pasuram, he blesssed  Thirunedunthandagam to be the first Prabhandham to be chanted to start the Proceedings of Adhyayana Utsavam.  It is no concidence that Prabhantham started with  Mudhal Thiruvandhadhi pasuram"வையம் தகளியா வார்கடலே நெய்யாக" by Poigai Azhwar in Thirukovilur Thrivikram Sannathi but also ends with Thirunedunthandagam pasuram  "மின்னுமா மழைதவழும் மேக வண்ணா விண்ணவர்தம் பெருமானே அருளாய்  Just penned a few thoughts on Thirunedunthangam based on a discouses on Thirunedunthandagam  by Sri Velukkudi Krishnan.
