This is the compilation of Ayyappa Bhajan Songs which were compiled by Mrs. Priya Vardheesh for the Ayyappa Bhajans in her home at Chicago. Though majority of the songs are in Tamil, there are are also Slokas in Sanskrit and songs in Malayalam and Telugu. My deep sense of gratitude to Mrs. Priya Vardhish and to Sri T. R.

Ayyappa Kavacham (Tamil) [Armour to Ayyappa] Kappu (Protection) Harihara puthranai, aananda roopanai, Iru moorthi maindanai, aaru mugan thambiyai, Sabari gireesanai, Santha swaroopanai, Dinam dinam pothi paninthiduvome.

We would every day praise and salute, The son of Shiva and Vishnu, the personification of joy, The son of two Gods, The son of six faced Subrahmanya, The Lord of Sabari Mountain and the God who is peaceful. If this armour of God Ayyappa, Is recited daily, all problems would get solved, Day by day as it is read all results of bad karma would get destroyed, And Whatever we desire, we would get.

Ayyappa, I surrender to you, Ayyappa I surrender to you God, Oh Lord of Sabari Mountains, Ayyappa I surrender to you God. After observing penance of Mandalam, After chanting prayers with one lakh letters. Carrying the burden of sins and blessings, and the Bundle of two parts, We are coming to step on the golden Mountain (Ayyappa, ..) After taking bath in River Pampa, After waking up the parrot of temple sleeping in me, With an empty drum, dancing in Petta and also singing, We are coming to step on the ladder of eighteen steps. (Ayyappa..) In the divine door of the sanctum sanctorum, When Mountains of camphor salute and melt down, We are coming to become the black Thulasi (ocimum) leaves, Which kiss of the divine feet which shines like Padmaraga stones.

In the call "Oh God Ayyappa I surrender to you", The essence of this world gets ready as the divine music. After song and dance in the temple of Erumeli, All Ayyappas depart with great unity. The God Vaavar is saluted properly and, The garden forest (poongavanam) opens the flower of past glory. After singing the story of Hari and hara, when we reach the canal of Perur (Perurthodu), The son of Harihara would bless us. When we see the relations at Kalahati, Then we can hear song of tides from Azhutha River. When we spread the bed sheet and lie down in shore of Azhutha, The flowers of Thulasi would bloom in the garden of the soul. After taking bath at the dawn, we walk taking the stone, Cross the Azhutha hill and walk further. When we move singing the brother of elephant faced God, The hill where stone (Kallidaam kunnu) has to be put nears After we cross the Azhutha downs and cross kari ilam canal, The Ayyappas would reach the door of Karimala. For not getting the feet knocked while climbing Karimala, We would sing the song of the son of enemy of Manmatha. Vedanta Spiritual Library | www.celextel.org

When we sing songs about him who lived in Pandalam, We would cross the Pamba River and become ecstatic.

Ayyappa Pancharathnam [Tamil] The five gems on Lord Ayyappa Translated by P. R. Ramachander [I have taken this great prayer from a book called Sri Ayyappa Nithya Parayanam, a tamil book published by Giri Traders, Madras. In that book Sage Agasthya has been mentioned as the author of this great prayer. But the language used here does not seem to belong to the ancient Tamizh.] 1. Athuvitha vasthuvai, aadhi paramathmanai, achalanai, aguna gunanai, Amararukku athipathiyai, adiyavarkku yeliyanaai, Hari hararkku oru mainthanai, Sudha sathwa para brahma sakshathkara, Jothiyai thondrum unthan, Thooriya leela vaibhavangal pala yendru marai, Chollukindra thethum ariyen, Pithanai ninathu pugazh pesi thirinthu nin, Perumayai ninainthu padi, Pidathukindren nin perum koyil yeithinen, Pizhai porutharula varuvai, Thathuvam anaithum oru muthiari uraithida, Thantha sathguru nadane, Satha madana prakasa kalasa muni viswasa, Sabari mamalai vaasane, swamiye saranam Ayyappa. Being a definition of Advaitha, being the primeval divine soul, Being without any movement, Having properties but being without properties, Being the Lord of Devas, being a simple one to his devotees, Being the only son of Hari and Hara, And appearing a true light of the pure divine Brahmam, I do not know that the Vedas telling that your great divine plays are many, And feeling like a mad man, I roam about talking and singing your praise, And I have reached your great temple prattling thus, And so please pardon my mistakes, Oh great teacher, who gave me all the principles in one stamp, Oh God with light of hundred gods of love, Oh god, who is believed by sage Agasthya, Oh God who lives in Sabari Mountain, Oh god I surrender to you Ayyappa. 2. Anthakarathile arul vilakkethuvai, Adaviyil vazhi kattuvai, Aravu bali mrugangal alakai pey kural kalvar anugathu kathu varuvai, Vandanai purinthu manamalarittu vazhthuvor marabellam onga vaippai, Maratha noykkoru marunthaki mathuvai, Marana bhayamum pokkuvai, Ivvitham nee puriyum ennila vilayadal enni thudhikka vasamo, Yeratha malayeri yeithum meyyadiyavarai yerpathu un barammallavo, Chandana Sukandha sundara suthanthira sidha sanga sadguru nadhane, Satha madana prakasa kalasa muni viswasa, Sabari malai vasane, swamiye saranamayyapa.

Ayyappa Suprabatham By Kaviyur M. V. Narayana Iyer Translated by P. R. Ramachander [This great book was written and published in 1991 by the author with devotion so that the devotees going to the annual pilgrimage to Sabari mala can sing the story and fame of our Lord on their way to the sannidhanam. He has dedicated the book to Thakkad Sastha. The first six verses though written in Malayalam are full of tough Sanskrit words and the rest of the sthothra in mellifluous Malayalam. The transliteration given in English is given, with a full realization that English script is very inadequate to picturise the difficult Malayalam script.] Esaana Vishnu Sambhootha, Pratha Sandhya Pravarthathe, Uthishta Kanana vasa, Kathavyam Loka Sangraham. 1 Essence of Easwara and Vishnu, The dawn has awaken in the east. Please awake, the dweller of forests, And do thine job of care of us all. Uthishto uthishta bhoothesa, Uthishta mahishi hara, Uthishta dharmam rakshaswa, Kaler dosha mapakaru. 2 Awake and awake the God of us all, Awake the slayer of Mahishi, Awake, take care of Dharma, So that sin vanishes from this world. Sahyadhri thunga srungeshu, Ballarkaruna rasmaya, Pasya kumkuma varnani, Kurvanthi divasagame. 3 In the peaks of western ghats, The baby sun's orange glow, Has reached and made it saffron. Heralding the birth of the day. Utphulla suma sourabhyam, Samvahan gandha vaahanam, Prasaarayathi sarvathra, Twad yasamsi vasajjana. 4 The beauty of the forest has awaken, Carrying the incense of sandal divine, Spreading all over the world, Thine grace to bless us all.

Hari Harathmaja Ashtakam By Kambangudi Kulathu Iyer Translated by P. R. Ramachander "Harivarasanam was written by Kumbakudi Kulathur Iyer. In 1955, Swami Vimochananad recited this Ashtakam for the first time at Sabarimala. Sannidhanam, in early 1940s, 50s and 60s, was just wild jungle which few pilgrims visited. It is understood that a VR Gopala Menon of Alapuzha used to stay on at Sannidhanam even when the temple was closed. He built a shack and stayed there even when no human being was anywhere nearby during those days when the temple was closed. It was said that the wild animals never troubled him and that he used to feed the wildest of animals. Some years later, when Devaswom Board was formed, it seems, he was asked to move out. He died as an orphan of the world at a tea estate at Vandiperiyar. He was the only companion to Thirumeni Eashwaran Nampoothiri (an old Mel Santhi of Sannidhanam) in those wild old days of solitude and dedication. Revered Menon used to recite `Harivarasanam' with all devotion. It was with immense grief that Thirumeni Eashwaran Nampoothiri heard about the demise of Revered Menon. At that end of the pooja that day, when he was about to close the doors of the Sanctum Sanctorum, he remembered Revered Menon and recited Harivarasanam starting a nostalgic tradition that remains unbroken to this day. Harivarasanam is recited just prior to closing of the temple doors at night. As the final verses are being sung, all the assistant Santhis leave the Sanctum Sanctorum one by one. As the song ends, only the Mel Santhi is inside the Sreekoil. He extinguishes the lamps one by one and closes the doors for the night after the last lamp is extinguished."

Maha Sastha Sthuthi [Prayer addressed to Great Sastha] Translated by P. R. Ramachander [Sastha is the son of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, who took the form of Mohini. He has two wives, Poorna and Pushkala. There are large numbers of temples dedicated to Sastha in the Thirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. Many People believe that Ayyanar, the guardian God presiding outside many villages in Tamil Nadu is indeed a form of Sastha. In Kerala he is worshipped as Ayyappan, the son brought up by the King of Pandalam. However Ayyappa is unmarried and is a naishtika Brahmachari. I have taken this stotram from the Tamil magazine Kumudam Bhakthi. Since I have not seen the Devanagari original, some phonetic mistakes may be there. Apart from that this prayer is addressed to Brahadeeswara (great God). I have not seen any reference where Lord Ayyappa is addressed by this name. Indirect references in the prayer does indicate that it is indeed is addressed to Dharma Sastha.] Sithi hayamadeeruhya sancharantham, Sritha jana chinthitha poorane pravrutham, Hithakaramanisam sadhaam mahantham, Sathathamaham Brahadeeswaram prapadhye. 1 I always salute that God who is very great, Who travels in a blue coloured horse, Who fulfills wishes of devotees coming to him, Who is partial to sages and is always greatest.

Sastha Kalyana Manjari By Villivakkam Sri Ayyappa Bhajanai Sangam Translated by P. R. Ramachander Introduction Bhajanai or Hindu community prayer was brought to South India by great teachers like Bodhendraal, Sridhara Yaaval and Gopala Krishna Bhagawathar. The Bhajan Sampradaya, which was enunciated by these great Gurus, was adopted to sing Bhajans of Lord Sastha or Ayyapa both in case of Ayyappan Vilakku and Sastha Preethi by many people. Side by side with the development of the Bhajan Sampradaya, the Kalyana Uthsavam (Celebration of Marriage) of the Goddesses like Radha, Sita and Rukmani were being celebrated by the devotees. Apart from the normal procedure of Bhajans, these also include enacting of the marriage of the Goddesses, along with an adaptation of the ceremony with music as well as dance. The most popular among these appears to be Radha Kalyanam. Possibly based on these, the devotees of Villivakkam of Madras, who were worshipping the Kalyana Varada Sastha along with his consorts Poorna and Pushkala, under the leadership of Sri R. Viswanatha Sarma, systematized the procedure for celebrating Sastha Kalyanam or the marriage of Sastha with his consorts Poorna and Pushkala. Lord Sastha, the son of Lord Vishnu in his incarnation as Mohini and Lord Shiva, is being worshipped all over Tamil Nadu in the form of Sastha and Ayyanar. In both these cases, Lord Sastha was considered to be married to Poorna and Pushkala. Ayyappa or Mani Kanda, who was an Avathar of Lord Sastha and who lived as the adopted son of the Pandya King of Pandalam was a Nithya Brahmachari. Though in Arayankav temple of Kerala, it is believed that he married Pushkala Devi (some say Prabhavathi) of the Saurashtrian community. He is consecrated with his wives Poorna and Pushkala in Achal Kovil temple of Kerala. Legend says that the temples of Achan Kovil and Aryankav were consecrated by Lord Parasurama himself much before the incarnation of Lord Sastha as Ayyappa. Lord Sastha also is supposed to have a son called Sathyaka, referred to as Chella Pillai (darling son). Pushkala is supposed to be the daughter of Palinja Varman, who ruled over Nepal. Poorna is supposed to be the daughter of a King called Pinchaka Varman who was supposed to have ruled over the Cochin kingdom of Kerala. It seems Palinja Varman of Nepal wanted to sacrifice his daughter Pushkala in search of immortality for himself. When Pushkala prayed to Lord Shiva to protect her, it is believed that he sent Lord Sastha for protecting her. Lord Sastha saved her and also made King Palinja Varman leave out his idea of getting immortality. The King requested Sastha to marry his daughter Pushkala and he accepted that and married her. Afterwards the King Pinchaka Varman of Cochin, who went for hunting in the forest, was attacked by devils and ghosts. It seems he prayed to Lord Sastha. Lord Sastha came and drove away the ghosts and devils. The King Pinchaka Varman offered his daughter Poorna to lord Sastha, who married her also. When King Palinja Varman knew about another marriage of Sastha, it is believed that he cursed Lord Sastha that he would be born as a human being and would live as a Brahmachari. But there are differing opinions on this story. According to Brahmanda Purana, Poorna was the sister of Upendra and got married to Lord Sastha on Chithra Pournami day. There is also a story that Poorna was the daughter of a King of Kanchipuram called Shivapala and it is believed that Lord Sastha got married to her in Kanchipuram temple. There is a temple for Lord Sastha along with Poorna and Pushkala in Kanchipuram. In Aryankav it is believed that a group of Saurashtra weavers settled in Madurai were passing through the temple and at the time a girl with them called Pushkala (some say Prabhavathi) attained maturity. They entrusted the girl to the priest of Aryankav and went to do their trade. By the time they came back, it seems that girl got married to Sastha in that place. In memory of this even today the people of Saurashtra community visit the Aryankav temple and celebrate the marriage of their girl to Lord Sastha following Saurasthra customs.

In Sankara Samhitha it has been told that Poorna and Pushkala were born from two eyes of a great sage called Sathya Poorna and they both did penance and got married to Lord Sastha. In the Sastha Kalyanam, it is assumed that Poorna and Pushkala were the consorts of Sastha and were the daughters of Palinja Varman of Nepal and Pinjaka Varman of Cochin. The Kalyanam is performed imitating the rituals of a Tamil Brahmin wedding. The Sastha Kalyanam by the Villivakkam group of devotees is being performed for the past many years. In 1975, they brought out a compilation of the procedure used to perform this Kalyanam along with songs, stotras as well as Marriage Manthras. A new edition of the book was brought out by them in 2006. I was given a copy of this book by my friend Sri P. V. Ananta Narayanan. The book can be purchased from Sri Ayyappa Bhajana Sangham, 29 Vadakku Masi Veethi, Villivakkam, Chennai - 49. More particulars of the Villivakkam temple and its activities can be seen at ashtasastha.org. I was drenched in devotion when I was translating this great work. My Ananthakoti Namaskarams to Guruswami Brahmasri Viswanatha Sarma who is the soul and spirit behind the Villivakkam group of devotees. My heartfelt thanks to Sri P. V. Anantha Narayanan who had sent me this book. Poorna Pushkala Avahana Manthram 1. Dhayayeth devam maha veeram, Swarga sthithi layadhikam, NIrgunam, nishkalam, nithyam, Manovachama gocharam. I meditate on that God who is greatly valorous, Who is in heaven and is merged with it, Who does not have any characteristics, Who does not have any stains, who is forever, And who is visible to the Mind and words. 2. Loka veeram jagat vandhyam, Sarva karma phala pradham, Sarvtabheeta pradaatharam, Sarva mangala karanam. The hero of the world, whom the world salutes, Who gives good results to all actions, Who fulfils all our desires, And is the cause of all auspiciousness. 3. Sasthaaram sarva devaanaam, Makudena virajitham, Lalada patta samrajya, Thilakena sushobitham. He who is Lord Sastha for all devas, Who shines wearing a crown, And shines wearing a Thilaka, On his kingdom like forehead.

Then the entire night the names of Sastha should be chanted without break and it should end with the Dolothsava (swinging the lord in a cradle). On the morning of the day of the festival, Rudram, Chamakam, Sri Suktham and Purusha Suktham should be chanted. And this should be followed by anointment of the god worship using Lalitha Sahasranama and also Harihara Puthra Sahasranama. The Unchavruthi (singing god's name and marching in the streets) also should be done. Vedanta Spiritual Library | www.celextel.org

The Kalyana Uthsavam is actually assuming the God as the lover and his lovers as our soul, the yearning of our soul to attain god, sending message to Him about our love, the prediction of the soothsayer (Kurathi) of how we will attain God, raising of our Kundalini to open the thousand petalled lotus, assuming that our mind is a parrot and telling God about our state and detailing various ways to attain God. In this case the God is Dharma Sastha and the lovers are his consorts Poorna and Pushkala. Thozhi Vidhu Dhoothu [Message sent through she friend] 1.

In the blessed land of Kali where devas assemble, Auspicious wishes to Veera Mani Kanda. In the land where he lives, in the divine Panguni (March-April) month, On the fifteenth day of that month, In the Utharayana which is very supportive, On the golden Panchami day, On the very sacred Friday which is very good, On the day whose star is Thiru Onam (Sravana), On the day when golden flowers and rain are showering, The flower of Poorna and Pushkala opened, And at that time seven pretty maids, Brought there the bride. Shobhanam Ragam Madhyamavathi Thalam Aadhi Shobhaname kanthmalai swarna maya kshethrathil.

Seeing the good people singing "Jaya Mangalam", The Bhoothanatha is coming surrounded by Brahmins, The groom Muthayyan who was coming in the golden palanquin, Climbed on the shoulder of Vellaikkal Bhootham and went first, And when that son of Harihara entered the hall where fire sacrifice was being done, Poorna garlanded him and Pushkala also followed her, And Ayyappa garlanded them in return and the married couple, Went on a flower palanquin and let that procession be auspicious, We should have billions of eyes to see the marriage of he who lives in Kanthamalai, Let the marriage be a great festival.

Sastha Preethi Songs [Nurani] By P. R. Ramachander Introduction Nurani is one of the very famous Agraharams of Palakkad Town with large number of Brahmin houses. The people who originally inhabited this Agraharam believe that they have migrated to this village from Thiruvannamali of Tamil Nadu. It seems after their ancestors decided to settle in that place and when they were clearing the bushes in the western side of the village, the labourers who were from the nearby Harijan colony heard a sound akin to the ringing of bells as well as very aromatic perfume like scent. The Brahmins of the village were informed about this. Further digging was done very carefully and three cylindrical stones as well as a flat stone were recovered from there. The astrologers who were summoned to find out what they are told that the three cylindrical shapes were the idols of Dharma Sastha and his two consorts, Poorna and Pushkala and the flat stone was that of Bhagawathy (some say Malikapurathamma). The idols of Sastha and that of Poorna and Pushkala were installed in the Nurani Agraharam and the the idol of Bhagawathi was installed in the Harijan colony of Kaikuthu Paramba. The people of the Agraharam built a temple for Sastha along with his consorts. Later they came to know that there was a Namboodiri in that place before the Agraharam was built and he was a great devotee of Aryankavu Sastha. He used to visit the Aryankavu every year but when he became old and was not able to visit Aryankavu, the Lord appeared in his dream and ordered him to install his statutes in front of his house and worship them. People of Nurani believe that these were the idols worshipped by that Namboodiri. The people of the village believe that all this happened more than 200 years earlier. At that time, Ayyappan as a God was not popular among Brahmins of Kerala. But Sastha with his consorts was very popular in Thirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu. There are even today, large number of Sastha temples in that district. It is in one such village called Kulathoor, which is near Kallidai Kurichi Town, that the practice of Sastha Preethi originated. This village had a group of Brahmins called Karanthayar Brahmins. They were essentially business people and used to carry out trade in various parts of Kerala. In due course they first settled in Ernakulam and later In Trichur. (They were called Pondy Brahmins). These settlers were called the Pondi Samooham in Kerala. One of the members of this samooham was a family of Kambangudi. It seems that this family helped Swami Ayyappan by providing him food when he came to hunt for a tigress. At that time it is believed that the Lord promised them that he would be with them wherever they go and would assist them. (Kambangudikku Naan Adimai - I am a slave to the Kambangudi family). It was possibly that this family which started the Sastha Preethi as we know it now. It is essentially confined to the Brahmin community. (A similar function carried out by the nonbrahmin community is called Ayyappan Vilakku.) After the worship and singing songs extolling Dharma Sastha, a wholesome food is provided to all the Brahmins. It seems in Kualthoor where it seems to have originated, the eighteen Agraharams used to join together and perform it in a grand way. It is not clear when Sastha Preethi started being celebrated in Kerala Agraharams. Possibly it started in a small way in the Pondi Agraharams in Ernakulam. But the Grand Sastha Preethi which is being celebrated in Noorani must have originated from here. Most of the Sastha Preethi songs are addressed to the then Kulathoor Ayyan; the villagers claim that they are celebrating it for the past 300 years. It is not at all clear about the format of the Sastha Pattukkal at the earlier times. One of the great Musician of Nurani called Parameswara Bhagawathar who was in the court of King Swathi Thirunal Maharaja, has played a key role in collecting these songs. Most of these songs are addressed to the Thenkulathoor Ayyan. Many people still believe that the Kulathoor that they are referring is Kulathoor Puzha. But this is not so, because in Kualthoor Puzha Sastha is consecrated as a child and not as one who was married to Poorna and Pushkala. It is also interesting to note that there is only one idol of the boy Sastha in Aryan Kavu (Namboodiri is Vedanta Spiritual Library | www.celextel.org
Page 318 of 454
Prayer Hymns - Ayyappa Stotras
supposed to have consecrated it based on this temple). But In Kulathoor Sastha temple, which is near Kallidai Kurichi, the sastha is with his queens Poorna and Pushkala. Another important aspect about Nurani Sastha songs is that they extol also the son of Sastha called Chella Pillai and many courtiers of Sastha like Vella Kal Bhootham, Sangili Sastha, Yakshi, Karuppan and so on. Chella Pillai and these Bhootha courtiers of Sastha are not very popular in the Ayyappan cult of Sabari Malai. It is interesting to note that they are mentioned and are also popular in the Kulathhor temple of Kallidai Kurichi. Another interesting aspect of these songs is that almost all of them are in Tamil. Since the Palakkad Tamil is not pure but to a certain extent mixed with Malayalam, the words in the songs are mostly spelled in Palakkad Tamil. Except for one or two Dhyana Slokas in Sanskrit, few Vanchi Pattu (Boat songs) in Malayalam, all the text is in Tamil. It was difficult to translate these songs in to English because of this. I am sure large numbers of mistakes are still there. I request readers to point out these mistakes to me as comments or by mail to my e-mail ID. I am requesting this because this great treasure of songs about Sastha, which we have inherited, must be preserved for posterity in a language that they can understand. How the Sastha Preethi are sung in Nurani: [From a book called Nurani Sastha Preethi Padal published by Sri N. E. Padmanabhan and Sri N. E. Anantheswaran in 2005.] In Nurani Sastha Preethi is not a one or two days function. The festival starts from the commencement of the Mandalam every year. Around 9 PM all devotees assemble in the temple for the Ardhajama Pooja and sing Bhajans in conventional style peculiar to Nurani. Changalavatta (Oil lamp hanging on a chain) is lighted and after breaking coconut in the Sastha Sannidhi and after three Pradakshinams accompanied by Nadaswaram, all devotees sit in two opposite lines, facing each other, at the Sastha Sannidhi. Destined Bhagawathar with the permission of elders commences the songs as per Padathi (practice) giving importance to Sastha Songs, Natta, Thodaya Mangalam, Viruthams, Keerthanams and then Deeparadhana is performed. After Deeparadhana and distribution of Prasadams concluding Poojas and songs continue. Manthra Pushpam, Swarna Pushpam, Chathurveda Parayanam and Aseervadams are chanted. One stanza from Shiva Ashtakam, Ashtapadi and a Keerthanam, followed by Thevaram, Virutham, Pathyam, Venpa, Kalithurai, Nalangu, Kummi, Choornikai, Oonjal Nadai Chuthal and Vazthu follow. In the fourth and fifth week of the Mandalam, after singing the usual songs, an auspicious Wednesday or Saturday is selected for starting the "Avesha Pattu". For this, senior devotees prostrate before the Lord Dharma Sastha and seek permission from the president and members as well as elders of the village to commence the Sastha songs. Afterwards Avesha pattu is sung on all Wednesdays and Saturdays till Sastha Preethi. These songs alert the devotees and create inspiration and Bhakthi in them. The Komaram or Velichappadu known as Narthakas dance around the temple to the tune of the songs to add gaiety to the occasion. Senior Komaram is given Sword and big rings (Thandai) and are adorned with Koorai (Red cloth). They dance around the temple distributing Vibhuthi prasdams, which instills faith and devotion. These songs are to be sung only in the traditional way and ragas / thalams should not be changed to maintain age old tradition and the sentiments and devotion which go with these songs. Preceding Wednesday before Sastha Preethi, Sastha Savarna Sahasra Nama Archana to Sastha is performed and on Thursday 1008 Sanku pooja and Abishekam to Lord Maha Vishnu are performed. Further Poorna Dravya Abishekam to Sastha and Kalababishekam to Vishnu are also performed.

On the auspicious Saturday, after mandalam, Sastha Pretha is scheduled except on Shukla Sashti, Ekadasi, Amavasya and Pournami. After all great religious observations on the Sastha Preethi day, which includes a great feast, at night Vanji Pattu commences. After four Pradakshinams of the temple, all devotees assemble together and sing all the songs as usual. Acknowledgements I have only heard about these great songs sung during Sastha Preethi at Nurani (Noorani). When I wanted to translate them in to English, Sri P. V. Anatha Narayanan, who is my friend encouraged me do it. He also gave me a English transliterated version of the entire Sastha Preethi songs done by Sri Choodamani Noorani Hariharan alias Sunil of New Delhi. I have completely used these transliterated texts. My grateful thanks are to Sunil, who has done a back breaking job of typing the very large number of songs in English. Sri P. V. Anantha Narayanan also gave me a printed Tamil book called Noorani Sastha Preethi Padal published in 2005 by Sri N. E. Padmanabhan and Sri N. E. Anatheswaran in 2005. Whenever I had doubts, I have referred to this book. My grateful acknowledgements to both these authors, who live in Mumbai. My grateful acknowledgements are also to my friend Sri P. V. Anantha Narayanan. Without the blessing of the Lord Dharma Sastha, I simply could not have done the job I took up. My Anantha Koti Namaskarams to him. As per tradition, the songs commence with a prayer to Lord Ganesha. 1.
