Story of Vishnus Avatar --- Pundarik Vithala of Pundarpur

Lord Vishnu and Narada Muni talking in Heaven

Lord Vishnu: Narada Muni ,” You should take avatar and go to Earth to help people suffering there “

Narada: “But lord I will fall in trap of worldly desires so I don’t want to go to Earth”

Lord Vishnu:”Don’t worry .If that happens Ill come to earth and bring you back to right path”

So Narada agrees and takes avatar and goes to Earth. There he becomes a rich merchant and takes peoples Gold jewels and gives them money.If they are not able to give money he keeps their things and uses their jewels. Soon he becomes very rich. He is always accumulating wealth from poor people and never donates money to poor.

One day when rich Merchant was at his shop a poor old man comes to him.

Old Poor man: ” Son, I am an old poor man.Please Help me by lending money for my daughter’s marriage.”

Rich Merchant: No I cannot help you.

Old man pleads several times but in vain. Then he moves to net shops .He keeps on collecting money from people I the city.

 Then he happens to go to house of Rich merchant. His Wife comes and greets him

Wife of Rich Merchant: “Would you like to take some food?”

She gives him food and he eats it and is happy with that.

Old Poor man: “Daughter, Please Help me by lending money for my daughter’s marriage.”

Wife of Rich Merchant :”I don’t have money .I have only this diamond nose pin that I am wearing .Please sell it and do your daughter’s marriage.”

Old Man thanks her, blesses her a lot and leaves .

He directly goes to rich merchant to sell the nosepin. As soon as Merchant sees nosepin he is shocked that it can be none other than his wife’s nosepin that he gave to her. He becomes angry that she gave it to him .He takes nosepin from old man and locks it in his Box .He tells old man to wait near shop and that he does not have so much money at his shop  So he would go to home and get money from there .

At home of Rich Merchant

Rich merchant: “Can you show me nosepin that you were wearing”

Wife of Rich Merchant: “Yes I’ll get it. Please wait”

She is very scared .She goes to Tulsi Plant and prays in front of it .She touches Tulsi plant and she is enchanting GODs matra to help her as to what she will tell her husband that she gave nosepin to someone without asking him.

When she is hugging Tulsi plant she  finds Nose Pin lying there .She hands it over to her husband .Now rich merchant is shocked. He runs to his shop and opens the locked box and finds there is no nosepin  in the box. Meanwhile old man has disappeared. He tries to search him but cannot find him. He realizes that GOD had come and tested him. He had come to show him Right path.From that day on he started helping poor people and donation money

Bramhotsavam 2011

17^th Year Brahmotsavam (08.02.2011  to 19.02.2011)

Brahmotsavam is a festival celebrated for 10 days once in a year in South Indian Temples. Not all temples celebrate in the same month . In Tirupathi  it is always celebrated in September-October month. In Anantha PadmaNabha Swamy Temple of Gandhinagar Adayar,Chennai, it is celebrated in February – March months .

Diety in this temple is Called as “Anantha PadmaNabha” GOD Vishnu lying on Shesha Nag. This Temple is exact replica of temple in Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.

Concept of Brahmotsavam

Every south Indian temple has two images of GOD. Main Image in Sanctum Sanctorum (Shrine)is called Moola Murti made up of STONE .It is fixed and does not move. This is First Image of GOD.

The second Image of GOD in every temple is made up of PANCHA Loha (alloy of Gold, Silver, Tin, Copper and Zinc).This is called as Utasava Murti. This image is taken in procession on Four Roads around the temple during the Bramhotsavam festival days. All 10 days GOD is decorated in different avatars and rides on different Vahanas(vehicles).

During festival days ,there will be one image of GOD is sitting on a jhoola (swing)in temple.You can push the swing and use fan as service to GOD. This is called as OONJHAL Sewa (OONJHAL means swing)

Day6- SRI GURUVAYOORAPPAN ALANKARAM

On 6^th day GOD is riding an Elephant decorated like GURUVAYURAPPAN and called as GAJA VAHANAM(Gaja means elephant).

Guruvayur is most famous Krishna temple in Kerala.

In temple there was a story enacted for Gajendra Moksha. Story->Once there was an elephant who daily without fail used to pluck flowers from a lake and offer to GOD.One day a crocodile caught his legs and he tried his level best to escape but could not.Then he started enchanting GODs name and GOD came riding on Garuda with his chakara ( Disc)to save him. Actually Elephant was some Devta in his previous janma and he was sent to Earth to suffer for some misbehavior. So he thanks GOD and returns to normal Devta form

Day7  PUNNAI MAARA ALANKARAM

It is called as THIRU THERmeaning Chariot procession.On this day GOD is taken for procession in a beautifully carved wooden chariot .People walk behind it chanting Vishnu Sahsranama.

On this day GOD will be standing in front of the PUNNAI  (TREE) MARA ..Punnai is the sacred Tree under which Krishna  used to stand and play the  flute in Brindavan.

GOD is decorated like Krishna as Pundarik Vithala of Pandarpur  in maharashtra with his wife Rukmani.Saint Purandaradasa has written 4 lakhs songs praising Pundarik Vithala and the saint says GOD is putting HIS Hands on his HIPS with gaps so that devotees can go and hug HIM .

Qu'est-ce que cette vie si pleine de soins,
Nous n'avons pas de temps pour observer et s'émerveiller.

Pas le temps de se tenir sous les branches
Et regarder aussi longtemps que des moutons ou des vaches.

Pas le temps de voir, quand on passe bois,
Lorsque les écureuils cachent leurs écrous dans l'herbe.

Pas le temps de voir, en plein jour,
Plein d'étoiles comme le ciel la nuit Streams.

Pas le temps de tourner au premier Beauté,
Et regarder ses pieds, comment ils peuvent danser.

Pas de temps à attendre que sa bouche peut
Enrichir ce sourire ses yeux ont commencé.

A cette pauvre vie si, pleine de sollicitude,
Nous n'avons pas de temps pour observer et s'émerveiller.

french play by students of Level A1 batch

vous occupez de vos oignons ( mind your own business )
Happened long time ago like a place in Chennai where onion prices were on the high.

A person goes to buy vegetables from the market, and when the shopkeeper was unaware he stole some onions and hid them in his sack.

neighboring vegetable sellers noticed this and started shouting at him "The onion thief .. The onion thief"

vegetable vendors cried "voleur voleur" and took him to magistrate.


the person cried "help help I am not the onion thief!"
magistrate inquired "what is happening here?"
the vegetable vendor snatched the sack from the thief and
threw everything from the sack onto the ground.

the thief had noting to say as he had been caught red handed
when the onions fell on the ground.

magistrate announced his judgment

punishment1 : Pay 100 Rs fine
punishment2: take 100 lashes on your back
punishment3: eat 100 onions in front of all people

The thief thought for a moment and said
"I will opt for punishment 3 and began to eat the onions one by one"

after eating the first onion the thief cried. tears started coming down his eyes and he cant eat more. I will now opt for 2nd punishment please give me 100 lashes on my back.

after the 5th lash he started to cry again "stop! stop! I will pay 100Rs fine"

Then the people in the court cried "he is fool.. he is fool.. "


This play (taken from panchatantra) was enacted in "Alliance Francaise of Madras" in Nungambakkam by students of Level A1.
