Hanuman and VADAI MALAI

VADAI MALAI
It is said that Sri Hanuman who is always in meditation on Sri Rama gets disturbed by the Vada Maala and bestows any boon asked by the devotee so that He would not be disturbed again by the devotee. According to another legend, Anjaneya was given a very big vada by His mother on the eve of His departure to Lanka for the war so that He could eat out of it little by little whenever He felt hungry.

And from what i saw in Ramayana ,following Lord Rama's victory over Ravana and the subsequent coronation of Lord Rama and Sita Devi in Ayodhya, guests at the coronation received gifts before their departure. But when it came to Sri Anjaneyar, Lord Rama said that Sri Anjaneyar would remain with him always. Overjoyed, Sita Devi made a Vadai Maalai for Sri Anjaneyar and adorned it on him so that he would eat it and be happy. Since then, the practice of adorning Sri Anjaneyar with the Vadai Maalai came into existence. Devotees adorn the Vadai Maalai to please Sri Anjaneyar and receive his blessing for a happy and problem free life.

May his blessings be upon everyone. Let us sing his glory now:

Jaya Sri Ram Jaya, Jaya Sri Ram
Jaya Hanuman Jaya, Jaya Hanuman.

My wife's Valaikappu was held yesterday on 9th Dec 2012. The day actually fall on our 2nd year of our wedding anniversary, My wife was 30 weeks pregnant at that time.Vallaikappu is a combination of two words - vallai - meaning round (as in bangle) and kappu - meaning protection. This ceremony is performed during the odd months of pregnancy mostly during the seventh month for the expectant mother and celebrates the joy of the upcoming motherhood and ensures the welfare of both the mother and the baby inside her womb. Mostly women are invited for this function. The expectant mother is made to wear a lot of bangles mostly glass ones of red and green colors and the sound of these bangles are supposed to reach the womb. We do some cooking our self and especially my wife she do mee-goreng by herself - and we brought some kuih-Muihs and cakes.

Hanuman and Sita Mother necklace

Rama and Sita residing in Hanuman's heart Great rejoicings and festivities followed the return of Sri Rama to Ayodhya and his crowning as the King. After a few days, life went back to normal and all the monkeys who had served as warriors in his army returned to their home in the forest. Only one stayed behind; he was sad to leave the Master of his heart. He stood quietly in a corner and looked at Sri Rama with eyes filled with Love. Sri Rama noticed his fervent devotee and asked: "O mighty hero how am I to compensate you for all you have done for me and my family?" Many would have wanted wealth, name or fame, approbation or recognition or VIP line in return for their services. But Sri Hanuman was above all these: "I desire nothing, Prabhu!" Then the Queen, Sita Mother, removed a valuable necklace of pearls from her neck and offered it to the humble Sri Hanuman. Sri Hanuman took the necklace from Sita Mother. However, strang

Two sides of the world We all hear about Global Warming, but know very little about how to stop or minimize it. We are told to use less energy, electricity, fuel etc. but are not shown the resources on how to, effectively, perform these tasks. Increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming,However with the signs being so evident still we are showing no signs of transforming. West Wall of the World East Wall of the World Man this is soooooo much waterrrrr ... no wonder we are called the Blue Planet ..
