Divya Desa Mangalasasanam  
Thiru Thalichanga Nanmathiam - DD025

Thirumangai Azhwar Peria Thirumozhi 1736(8.9.9)

Azhwars have done Mangalasasanam for some Divya Desams very elaborately. For example all 11 Azhwars have sung in praise of Srirangam( Divya Desam 1), Ten Azhwars have sung in praise of Thiruvengadam ( Divya Desam 75) and Thiruparkadal ( Divya Desam 107). Managasasanam to as many as 67 Divydesams  was done by one of the eleven Azhwars only

Mangalasasanam depending on how elaborate it is, covered the one or more of following aspects

• Name of Divya desam directly or in a subtle way
• Name of Emperuman directly or in a subtle way
• Manobhavam of Azhwar who composed the pasuram
• References to events , Leelas in Vibhava Avatars
• References to Para, Vyuha and Antharyami forms of Sriman Narayana
• References to 26 Thatwams ( Paramatma, Jeevatma, Moola Prakruthi, Mahaan, Ahankaaram, Manasu, Kaalam Five each of elements, attributes,  Indriyas and Senses)
• Divya Desa Vimana, Pushkarini etc
• Natural beauty of the Divya desam surroundings

The pasuram presented below by Thirumangai Azhwar (Parakalan)  is  the Sarngam (bow) amsam of Srimana Narayana. He holds the distinction of having sung the most number of pasurams than the rest of the Azhwars. Also Thirumangai Azhwar has performed Mangalasasanam at 86 Divya Desams, the maximum by any Azhwar.

In this Pasuram "கண்ணார் கண்ணபுரம் கடிகை கடிகமழும்", Thirumangai Azhwar offers Mangalasasanam to the Lord of Thiru Thalichanga Nanmathiam Divya Desam. Thirumangai Azhwar wonders which day that he would get the privilege to have darshan and enjoy the beauty of the Lords of the beautiful Thiru kannapuram, Thiru Kadigai, Thiru  Thalachanga Nanmathiam Divya Desam, just as the Lord who is more powerful like the rising sun and who gives darshan to Nithya Suris' on a daily basis.

Here is a presentation on Mangalasasanam to the Lord of 
Thiru Thalichanga Nanmathiam Divya Desam through 
Thirumangai Azhwar's Peria Thirumozhi pasuram  
"கண்ணார் கண்ணபுரம் கடிகை கடிகமழும்".
