Vaikunda Ekadasi, is a
day of supreme significance for all Sri Vaishnavaites. Today 18thDec 2018 is the all
important day.
At
Thiruvallikkeni divyadesam sung by 3 Alwars Uthsavar enters through the
Paramapada vassal in the morning and in the evening in the subsequent nine
days. The 10 days starting from Vaikunda Ekadasi
are celebrated as “Iraapathu uthsavam” Today, thousands of
people thronged the temple to have darshan of Sri Venkata Krishnar (Moolavar)
and Sri Parthasarathi (Uthsavar). Devotees feel enlightened and blessed,
when they cross the entrance - Vaikunda door ~ the paramapada
vasal. This morning around 0430am Lord Sri Parthasarathi had purappadu
inside the temple and with Sri Nammalwar welcoming from the other side,
entered the Paramapada vasal.
It was indeed a divine
occasion and devotees gathered in big numbers ~ when there are people, there is
SYMA. Prominent members of Srinivas
Young Mens Association in service to society since 1977 along with Triplicane Brahmins Welfare
Association have been arranging distribution of quality food (Prasad) to
devotees – in rotation it was Pongal, Puliyogaree, tamarind rice, Curd rice ..
.. right from the morning till the night, SYMA volunteers served the people
with quality food.

provide first aid for any medical exigency.
