COUNTDOWN TO AGATHIYAR'S JAYANTHI & GURU PUJA

Come 11.23 pm MST tomorrow, 21 December 2013 will be the exact moment of Agathiyar's Jayanthi. That's 27 1/2 Naaligai into the Ahilyam star. Let us come together to celebrate our Divine father's Jayanthi each in our own way. Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal will be celebrating on a grand scale over a two day period beginning with the hoisting of the symbolic flag, followed by speeches by dignitaries and eventually lighting the sacred fire or the Sarva Dosa Nivaarana Maha Yagam which will be the highlight of the two-day celebrations. On the night before devotees will be entertained by the local Baduga community with their songs and dance.

Suren and Bala left for India this morning and reached Trichy safely. Suren will be participating in the celebrations at Kallar again while it is the first time for Bala Chandran.

We will be celebrating on a smaller scale beginning with lighting the homam, a smaller version of the Yagam, followed by Abhisegam and prayers to Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam, Malaysia.
