Destiny

It has been a long time since I met you all ,hope all are fine .

Thought of sharing with you all a short story which I was impressed when I read

Just felt like sharing 🐣
GRATITUDE CAN CHANGE DESTINY

There was a small bird living in a desert.
With no sign of greenery the bird use to hop around on the hot sand through the day.

An angel while on his way to God saw the little bird and felt pity.
He went and asked
“O little bird! What are you doing in this hot desert? Can I do something for you?”

The little bird said,
“I am very pleased with my life, but this heat is unbearable. Both my feet are getting burnt. Only if there was a tree here, I’d be delighted”.

Angel said,
“Growing a tree in the middle of desert is beyond my scope. I am going to meet God, let me speak to Him and ask if He could fulfill your desire”.

Angel asked God, if he could help the bird. God said,
“I could grow a tree, but her destiny doesn’t allow it. And I can’t change that. However, you can give her my message, which will help her survive the heat. Ask her to hop with one foot at a time. That way she can rest the other one for a while and change foot often. This way only one of her foot will have to bear the heat and other one will be able to rest and recover. Also tell her to remember all the good
things that have happened in her life and be thankful to God for that.

Angel came back to where the bird was and gave her this message from God.
The bird was delighted by the idea and thanked him for the effort he made to make her comfortable.
After a few days,
Angel was crossing the same desert and thought of checking on the little bird.
He saw the bird sitting on big green tree, right in the middle of the desert.
Angel was happy to see the bird in comfort but was very disappointed with God who suggested that there was no tree in this bird’s destiny.
He went to meet God and told Him the whole story.
God replied,
“I never lied to you. There was no tree in the bird’s destiny. However, after you gave her my message, which asked her to be grateful to God for the kind things, she did put those words to action. She remembered every possible thing from her life and thanked God with a pure heart. I was moved with her feeling of gratitude and that’s what made me change her destiny”.

Angel was pleased with the answer.
A small gratitude can bring so much in our lives.”

Always thank God

And

Stay blessed

Koodaravalli

Andal, also known as Kothai, Nachiyar and Godadevi, is the only female Alvar among the 12 Alvar saints of South India. She is human incarnation of Goddess Bhudevi. 
Periyalvar, is said to have found Andal as a baby in the tulsi garden at the Srivilliputhur temple, and adopted her.

Andal was a Tamil poet and Bhakti saint, like Meera of the north, or Akka Mahadevi of the Kannada region.

As a young woman, she fell in love with Lord Vishnu and refused to wed any mortal man. In her songs, she asks for His embrace, demands His caress. She rejects everything and everyone else.  A woman with agency around the eighth century! Andal was devoted, yet audacious. A fascinating woman! One can know her only through her works. Language may be a barrier though, and literal translations fall short. 

As per Andal biography, as she grew, her determination to marry Lord Ranganatha also increased. She also started making a unique offering to the Lord. She used to wear a flower garland first herself and then offer it to God. As an explanation, she said that first wanted to see whether the garland looked good or not by wearing it herself and looking in the mirror. Only after she was convinced that the garland looked nice, she offered it to God.

One day, her father saw her doing this and admonished her from repeating this act. Godhai made a new garland for the Lord. It is said that the same night, Vishnucitta received a vision from the Lord, who told him that He heartily accepted Godhai’s offerings. From that day onwards, Goda came to be known as “Andal”, the girl who “ruled” over the Lord.

As Andal reached the marriageable age of 15, her father asked her to get married. She replied that she would marry only Sri Ranganathar. It is believed that after this incident, Vishnucitta again received a divine vision, in which the Lord instructed him to send Andal to Sri Ranganatha Temple. At the same time, the priests at Sri Ranganatha Temple also received a vision where the Lord ordered them to prepare for the marriage. It is said that after reaching Sri Ranganatha Temple, Andal married the Lord.

Andal composed two poetic works in her lifetime, both in Tamil. Even though she compiled the poems in her teenage years, they display a high level of literary and religious maturity. Her first work is known as Andal Thiruppavai. It is compilation of thirty verses, in which she imagines herself to be a cowherd girl who longs to serve Lord Krishna. The second compilation is known as Nacciyar Tirumoli, consisting of 143 verses. Through this poem, she disclosed her passionate yearning for Lord Vishnu.

Sri Andal in the Thiruppavai 27th verse describes the reward of Paavai Nonbu. Sri Andal and other Gopikas decorate themselves with jewels, costumes, flowers and happily share sweet (made up of rice and ghee) with Lord Narayana. 

On Koodaravalli, many devotees will go to temple, offer Ghee filled Akaravadisal to Lord Govinda and end Marghazhi Month Nonbu (fast). Many will do Annadanam.

This Year( 2022) koodaravalli falls on January 11th let us too prepare this akkaravadisal and offer Lord Ranganathar and get his blessings .
