Abhirami Anthathi

Cosmic arrangements can be altered by constancy of devotion towards the Creator. Going through the Life History of Abhirama Bhattar ( Priest in the temple of Goddess Abhirami) this is evident. Miracles are happening everywhere, every time. One such miracle happened in Thirukkadaiyur, near Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, South India. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. Abhirami Andhadhi came to the rescue of Abhirama Buttar, a priest in the Goddess Abhirami’s shrine at Thirukkadaiyur On one particular New- Moon day , Abhirama Buttar was deeply contemplating on the Goddess Abhirami. Sarabhoji, the king asked Abhirama Bhatttar “ Oh! Bhattar! What is the Almanac significance of today! Our Abhirama Buttar who was mad about Goddess Abhirami replied “ Oh King! today is Full-Moon day!” The king is nothing before Abhirami The angered king felt piqued and placed Abhirama Buttar on a specially made sort of swing to be dropped in the fire. As a last wish Abhirama Buttar got permission to sing extempore the classical work, Abhirami Andhadhi, a set of Hundred and two songs. You can ask Goddess Abhirami even the moon itself When he was singing the hundredth song, Goddess Abhirami threw her ear-ring. The ear rings metamorphosed in to the Milky-white full moon as it were a Full-Moon Day. Such is the efficacy of the songs found in the Abhirami Andhadhi The devotees can get tremendous blessings from our Goddess Abhirami by reciting either all of the songs or a particular one with a certain benefit. Andhadhi is a four –lined song composition in which the last word of the last composition becomes the first word of next hymn. Devotees can get their legitimate wishes realized by chanting these spiritually inspiring classic. Read
