The month of Margazhi begins today.
For these 30 days, temples and devotees celebrate the glory of the Lord in the month of Margashira.

Why this month?
Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita, among months He is Maargashira.

The millenia-old Bhakti movement in the Tamil land found its supreme manifestation in the form of the 12 Azhvars and 63 Nayanmars.

Their literary contribution to Tamil, through the Tirumurais and NalayiraDivyaPrabhandham remains unparalleled. ImageImage
Andal was one of the 12 Azhvars, devoted to Vishnu, more specifically His form as Krishna.

She was the daughter of Vishnu Chithar, a devotee who is venerated as Periazhvar! Image

#Jyotish & #Andal

I've written many pieces about Jyotish. One of my Prahalad vachanas praises Bhu (Andal) for saving Prahalad.

With blessings of Prahalad, Andal & Parasara, I humbly start this thread that looks at both Jyotish & Andal.

Margazhi starts when Atma Karaka Surya visits Guru Bruhaspati in natural 9H, Dhanur.

Vaikunta Ekadashi happens this year when Chandra is in star of Moksha karaka Ketu. Image

2H=mouth/eyes

#Andal is asking us to look beyond 2H. 2nd rules accumulation & takes you away from Him.

I'm writing this in PD of 2L; aspect of 9L vairagya karaka Sani on 2H gives me detachment from wealth.

BTW, all these pictures are from a Google Group I belong to. Image
