Tirunedunthandagam day. at Sri Ranganathar Temple at Srirangam
Thiru nedundhandagam is the compilation of 30 verses composed by the famous Sri Vaishnavaite saint Thiru Mangai Azwar in 10 th cent AD.
The first 10 verses describe the five forms of Bhagwan---Para, Vyuha, Vibhava or avatara,Antaryami and Archa or deity in a splendid manner with special emphasis on Archa form that is deities consecrated in temples like in Kovalur, Kanchipuram ,Sri Rangam, Tirupati and so on.
The next 20 verses express the Azhwars utter obedience or Sesvatam to Bhagwan.
At the end he entreats Bhagwan to protect [Rakshatvam] his soul .
All the 30 hymns are recited and enacted at front of Utsavar of Sri Ranganathar at Sri Rangam by a sect known as Arayars during Adyana utsvam every year .This is believed to be at the behest of Lord Ranganathar himself.
This festival with the recitation of nedunthandagam falls today viz--13 th December 2012.
By reciting all the 30 hymns ,today one is assured of the blessings of Ranganathar .
His final entreaty of this composition runs thus ---"Minnum mazhai thavazhum meghavanna vinnavar tam perumane arulay."
Meaning: O bhagwan ,your colour is like those sprawling clouds that bear sparkling rains .You are also the leader of Nitya suri's. Kindly bless me.
