Invitation for Sri Suktha Homam
Jai Nandalala
Lamps, Candles and Lights represent the Manifest Presence of God.
The Slokha below is an invocation to that Divine Light.
Shubam karothi kalyanam
Aroghyam dhansampathaam
Mama budhi prakashaya
Deepam jyothi namosthuthe.. (I prostrate to thee oh Divine Light, the giver of health, wealth and prosperity. Endow me with an enlightened vision)
Light symbolises Purity, Goodness and Divinity.
Pujya sri Akka has in her book Deepa Vazhipadu
mentioned the significance of Light thus:
Light is form, Light is life: Light is Truth. Light is Spring: Light is sustenance: Light is Love: Light connects: Light is real: Light is complete…
What is Oli Hara Malai?
It is a garland of Ghee lamps encircling Sri Nandalala’s sannidhi resembling a Haaram(like an ornament worn around the neck)
The reflection of the lamps, would beam on us from His Altar, and immerse us with feelings of immense Peace.
This Oli Haara Malai is lit to reiterate the special bond that we share with the Divine.
This event will take place on March 10TH 2009 at Sri Nandalala Temple, Mylapore, Chennai-from 5 pm onwards.
It falls on a Full Moon day (Pournami) and the star is Magam.
