TIRUPPAVAI TO REPLACE SUPRABHATAM IN TIRUMALA TEMPLE FROM DECEMBER 17 TO JAN 14

PASURA PARAYANAM IN THE 900-YEAR-OLD PEDDA JEEYAR MUTT TO BE TELECASTED LIVE ON SVBC

Tirumala, 14 December 2022: As the auspicious month of Dhanurmasam is commencing from at 6.12pm from December 16 onwards, Andal Sri Godai Tiruppavai will be recited in the place of Suprabhatam-the awakening seva of Lord inside Tirumala temple from December 17 till January 14, 2023.

All the Sri Vaishnavaite temples follow the recitation of Tiruppavai hymns during the entire Dhanurmasa and also considered as an important month for all spiritual seekers, as it is believed as the most sacred period to worship of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu.

According to Hindu scriptures, a day of God is equal to six months (Uttarayana) and a night equal to the remaining months (Dakshinayana) in a human year. 

Dhanurmasam falls at the end of Dakshinayana. In fact, this month is considered to be auspicious for worship during early hours and this hour is called “Brahma Muhurtam”. 

In Kaliyuga, Sri Venkateswara is considered as an incarnation of Sri Maha Vishnu. To invoke the blessings of the Srivaru, Tiruppavai Pasurams penned by one of the important among 12 Alwars, Andal Sri Godai will be recited, with each one on each day for a total thirty days seeking the prosperity of humanity – devoid of disease, natural calamities or any form of unhappiness.
