[Vani Nalliah]

The greatness of Margazhi month
The Yugam, in which presently we are living, is called as "Kali
Yugam". Other than this Kali Yugam, there are 3 Yugams that we have
crossed and they are Kretha, Thretha and Dwapara Yugam. In all these
3 yugams, Sriman Narayanan has taken lots of Avatharams
(incarnations) to protect the Dharmam against Adharmam (evil) and
protect the life of his bhaktas.
Margazhi (from mid decembre to mid january ) brings the spring
season. The month of Margazhi which is supposed to be sacred from
all aspects. Thus it's rendered to the god himself in aim of
attaining prosperity and blessings, hoping god showers with all good
luck. The very objective this month is to get together and offer the
prayers, he will surely listens to it.
How to go about it?
Generally Brahma Muhurtham is considered to be good time perform
pooja. Early morning on all 30 days Margazhi between 4.00 am to 6.00
am is beneficial for human being while the whole Margazhi the Brahma
Muhurtham for DEVAS.
The Tamil month of Margazhi is of great importance because Lord
Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that he is Margazhi among the
twelve months.
In this month, there are many programmes for SriVaishnavas in
particular. On all the thirty days of this month, Tirupavai Pasurams
will be rendered in the early morning in all temples and houses.

this month by rendering holy scriptures (Four thousand Divya
Prabhandam Pasurams) at 108 Divya Desam including Sri Rangam and
many other Vaishnava Sthalams. The famous Vaikunda Ekadasi also will
be celebrated in the early hours of the Tenth day of Adhyayana
Utsavam the people will join with Lord in proceeding Symbolically to
Swargham and on this Swargavasal will be opened in all temples.

completion of Margazhi and commencement of Thai, there would be
better future and there is a way for happiness and good omens.
