Goosebumps moment in Srirangam.
Today,a large number of devotees witnessed Nammazhwar Moksham ritual which happens on the 10th day of 2nd half of Adhyanotsavam every year.The ritual signifying Moksham(liberation) was performed for an hour from 6 a.m.The divine form of Nammazhwar
was taken out and was placed at the holy feet of Namperumal, marking the end of the 20-day Vaikunta Ekadasi festival.
Nammazhvaar didn’t want ‘life’ anymore. He asked for Moksham on the very first day. Nammazhvaar’s desire to attain Moksham is said to have been as big as the
sky. Lord, however, wanted to make a positive change to the world through his songs and wanted everyone to absorb the beautiful songs of Nammazhvar. As the Lord decided that the world should benefit from Nammazhvar’s songs, he delayed the Moksham of Nammazhvar till
the very last day.
Finally after listening to the beautiful Pasurams of Thiruvaimozhi, Lord gives in. The Lord was so taken in by the songs that it is said Lord wanted to take Nammazhvar to Vaikuntam in the same form.
And as the Araiyars recited the last of songs of Naalaayira Divya Prabhandham, Nammazhvar falls on the feet of NamPerumal and attains Moksham, quite a emotionsl scene. Subsequent to this, Nammazhvar adorns the garland worn by NamPerumal himself and wears his kasturi

Why is Kerala a 100 percent literate state? Thanks to Her Highness Sree Padmanabhasevini Vanchi Dharma Vardhini Raja Rajeshwari Maharani Uthrittathi Thirunal Gowri Parvathi Bayi, She is first one to start free education system in the whole world for that matter.
The beginning of modern education in Travancore can be traced to the issue of the Royal Rescript by Rani in 1817. Consider the fact that the "universal education" was not practiced in most countries, including those in the West at this point of time.
The Rescript of 1817 says:
"The state should defray the entire cost of the education of its people in order, that there might be no backwardness in the spread of enlightenment among them, that by diffusion of education they might become better subjects and public servants and that the reputation of the

The priests taking out Thirukkandamudu(kheer) prasadam from the inner chambers, This thirukannamudu is so divinely tasty that anyone fortunate enough to taste it will remember its taste for life. The required milk, along with four times
