Tirupavai occupies a unique stage in our Srivaishnava sampradayam. The 30 pasurams are always sung in the month of Margazhi in the nook and corner of our Bharata Desam. Even it got extended in foreign countries where Srivaishnavas reside.  The truth behind Andal words “Engum tiruvarul Petru Inburuvar” is seen in the whole world. Do you know the age of Andal when she sung Tirupavai? She was only 5 years! But fully matured in Bhakti! Hence, even now we are able to see kutti adiyars singing tirupavai in the early morning, circumambulating the Sanidis.

Our Srimaan Trust always willing to create platform for youngsters to perform. Hence, we are really fortune to organize the whole month upanyasam

When we wish to attain a certain end, it is for us to put a foot forward, make that crucial leap, tread that tedious path and bear all the hardships. The germination of a wish in our mind is only the beginning. This is how the normal world functions. But in the world where we realize and regard the presence of Srimannarayana, laws change. The wishes of Bhakthas are taken up by the Lord for execution.

The “ THIRUPPAVAI UPANYASAM” and THONDIN AARADHANAI turned out to be a memorable event last year. 35 persons from different walks of kainkaryam were honoured on each day of Maargazhi month. Each of them was requested to share the joy of the kainkaryam they were performing. It was a true inspiration to hear 80 year old women describe the way they are serving the Lord; 80 year old Vedic scholar teaching Vedas despite blindness of the eyes; a person rescuing Lord Rama from Rameshwaram and building a temple for Him in Chennai. The list went on…

At the end of last year’s Thiruppavai and Thondin aaradhanai, we made a wishful thinking that the following year should have atleast 4 thiruppavai upanyasams. The wish was taken up by the Supreme Being and this year it has materialized into 6 Thiruppavai upanyasams. The upanyasakars are a mix of young and elderly scholars.
