यदा भवेदनध्यायतिथिरुत्तरभागिनी।
तदा पूर्वतिथौ रात्रौ नाधीयीतेति निश्चयः॥

अरिवाट्टाय नायऩ्मार् (१३) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Ārdrā nakshatra of Makaraḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

In Kannamangalam, a part of the Chola kingdom, there was a wealthy Vellala named Thayanar who exemplified the ideal householder life, as praised by the Nayanmar Tiruvalluvar. Thayanar was a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, expressing his devotion through a daily ritual of offering food made of red rice, a red herb sauce, and mango pickle to the deity. This humble offering was a symbol of his deep faith.

However, Thayanar’s faith was to be tested by Lord Shiva. Suddenly, he found himself in poverty, and despite this, he continued his ritual by working and earning red rice as wages. He maintained his devotion by consuming inferior khar rice, reserving the red rice solely for the deity. Further testing Thayanar’s devotion, all fields in the area began to produce only red rice, but Thayanar refrained from consuming it, instead eating green leaves from his garden. When even these leaves withered away, Thayanar subsisted on water alone, his focus unwavering from his worship.

One day, while weak and emaciated, Thayanar fell while carrying his offering to Lord Shiva, spilling it on the ground. Distraught, he believed he had committed a grave sin and begged for the Lord’s forgiveness, threatening to end his own life with a sickle if the Lord did not accept his spilled offering. This extreme act of devotion touched Lord Shiva, who intervened just as Thayanar was about to harm himself. Thayanar heard the sound of the deity eating the mango pickle, realizing the divine play at hand. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi then appeared before him, commending his extraordinary devotion and promising him and his wife a place in the divine abode.

भौमवार-शुक्ल-प्रदोष-व्रतम्

  • 18:01→19:36

Pradosha Vratam. Fast during the day and perform śivapūjā in Pradosha Kala. Pradosha vratam that falls on a Tuesday is ideal for starting the vratam, for obtaining r̥ṇamōchanam.

प्रदोषे शिवपूजां तु ये कुर्याच्छ्रद्धया युताः।
न भवेत् तस्य दारिद्र्यं जन्मान्तरशतेष्वपि॥
यदा त्रयोदशी शुक्ला मन्दवारेण संयुता।
आरब्धव्यं व्रतं तत्र सन्तानफलसिद्धये॥
ऋणप्रमोचनार्थं तु भौमवारेण संयुता।

विश्वं विष्णू रुद्र विश्वाधिकोऽसि
यज्ञो विष्णुस्त्वं तु राजाध्वराणाम्।
श्रीशस्वर्णाद्री आत्महस्ताग्रसंस्थौ
श्रीकण्ठोऽव्याद् देवताब्राह्मणोऽस्मान्॥
हालाहलं हर नियम्य परानियाम्यं
सर्वान् सुरान् सपदि यः स्वनतानरक्षत्।
दृप्तानशिक्षत पुनर्युधि दक्षयज्ञे
स त्वं प्रभुः पशुपतिः प्रभुलक्षणोऽव्याः॥
गङ्गा धृता न भवता शिव पावनीति
नास्वादितो मधुर इत्यपि कालकूटः।
संरक्षणाय जगतां करुणातिरेकात्
कर्मद्वयं कलितमेतदनन्यसाध्यम्॥
गङ्गा धृता त्वयेशान गङ्गादर्पोऽपि नाशितः।
भगीरथानुग्रहार्थं लोकासम्भेदहेतवे॥

द्रव्यब्राह्मणसम्पत्तिः श्राद्धकालाः प्रकीर्तिताः॥
