INTRO

Namaskaram to all ,

Our theme for this year explains the Deha aththma sambhandham and how it attains Sriman Narayana's feet. The concept potraits thejourney of the body in the Leela Vibhudhi and soul to the Nithya Vibhudhi. We displayed the Thirupparkadal with Sri Mahalakshmi at the centre and Paramapadha naathar leading the entire universe. The rest all Nithya sooris inlcuding Alzhwar and Acharyars were seated inside the Nithya Vibhuthi. From Sri Vaikuntam, transcends to Bhooloka Vaikuntam marking the start of leela Vibhuthi.

The way this body ends the journey here in earth [ leela Vibhuthi ] at the feet of Archamoorthy's through our Acharyan, the same way the soul attains the feet of Sriman Narayana in the Nithya Vibhuthi through Acharyan [ Bhagavad Ramanuja ] by Sri Mahalakshmi's anugraham. That way even though the soul and aththma are two different entities, they both have to follow the same process to attain salvation.

This year we also tried a different style of golu steps. My wife has been wishing to have a circular golu steps instead of the traditional one. So, i designed the entire structure and made it out of plywood. We call it as a " 360 degree View " and has come out really good. I am sure and hope all you love our golu.

Adiyen Ramanuja Daasan.
