Day 14 - Did you know...

.....why the month “Margazhi” is considered "auspicious" ?
1) Our Margazhi month is "pratha kala", i.e., early morning (Brahma Muhurtham) for Devas (for whom one human year is equal to one day and our utharaayanam in thai maasam is equivalent to sunrise). Since Devas do not have Archavathara perumal (in the form of deity), they come down during "pratha kala" to worship Perumal in various temples. So Andal had chosen this time to sing “Thiruppavai”.

2)This is with reference to Periya Vachan Pillai's Vyakhyanam :
"Rasa kuligai" is the one which possesses the power of turning any object into gold by its very touch. Similarly, anyone who holds on to Bhagavan has no auspicious or inauspicious time.This is because, Perumal is the protector and gives whatever is required (by His devotee), removes whatever is not needed, leads the devotee in the path suited to him/her.Hence the devotee need not earn / attain Siddhi.The greatest 'siddhi' is Bhagavan Himself! Since Andal holds Krishna Himself in her fist, is there any want for Her? Therefore, the month that She chooses is the most auspicious one.
