Narayaneeya Dinam,

The day started with the waking up of Lord Varadaraja to the tunes of Suprabhatham. This was followed by abhishekam where the Lord was bathed and perfumed.

At 9 o clock in the morning the lord was extolled by reciting Vishnu Sahsranamam. This was the Prelude for the day of Narayaneeyam to start.

Sampoorna narayaneeyam was recited at the glorious temple of Lord Varadaraja Perumal between 9.30 am and 3.30 pm.

The evening came with a gentle breeze and as the day merged with the night and the color of crimson spread on the western skies, the shores of Nila the eternal river and consort of Lord Varadaraja Perumal witnessed the classical dance performance by 12 small children. They were tiny feet, but were determined ones. They were making even the hardest of the heart in the vicinity to melt and move with their graceful steps, what to ask about the Karunamurthy. The lord’s grace will definitely take care about the future of the tiny feet.

As the Curtain fell for the events of 13^th each and every bhaktha of the Lord, though not ready to move out of the place, felt enriched in their souls.

It seems the skies of western sky on the previous night has narrated in detail, the glory of the Lords Vaibhavam, for today, there was even more accumulation of colors on the sky. The gentle breeze by the side of the river gave a soothing effect to the seekers of Lords lilas.

The lord was extolled with Ashtapadhi to the Tune of Edakkai. For those who have enjoy the Sopana Ganam at Guruvayur and Triprayar, this would be a treat to the ears. The ashtapadhi was all the more sweet through the rendition of Mr Balasubramanian and his wife. The Tala from Edakkai provided a perfect background.

Nature had made its arrangements for the beautiful rendition of Thirupugazh by Thirupugazh Anbargal. Wow!! What a wonderful name for such a beautiful art. The anbargal under the leadership of Sri Balasubramaniam were simply awesome and the tunes of Thirupugazh, it seems made even the Lord himself enjoy.
