Story of Thiruaranmula Snakeboat race

The Pandavas are already there in five places.. named Thrichittattu (Yudhishtira) Thrippuliyur  (Bhima) , Thiruvaranmula  (Arjuna)Thiruvanmundur (Nakula), Thrikkodithanam(Sahadeva), and when lord came.. all of them got up and given their place to lord is what people believe..

The day Lord Krishna reached Aranmula is 4^th day of Thiruvonam..  All village came out to receive Krishna to their place.. They came in Snake boats.. Thus begin the Ulsavam of Uthrattathi Vallom kali…

Even now people celebrate irrespective of their religion.. Every one on their own Snake boat comes to Aranmula and do take part in the Jalolsavaghoshayathra.. and then return… to their respective places..

Thiruonam.. Story of Thiruaranmula…

Hi friends.. As usual, the  week end came and went.. We all malayali family were preparing for the biggest harvest festival for the year.  Onam… The name itself bring us the nostaligic feelings.. which we losing out slowly but steadily to the today’s hightech culture.. Thanks to the internet.. Television…

People are slowling concentrating on the neuclear families..  Stop mixing up regularly.. All of us are now living in our own cocoons, not want to see the good old tradition of making life easy for everyone…

In this scenario, I wanted to share some of the most pleasant memories of the our tradition.. That is the snake boat race.  Every where else is Onam will be over by the 4^th onam.. But in the village of Aranmula.. it will over only on the day of Uthrattathi…

There is a story behind that…  After the Mahabharata battle… everyone who participated in it.. in search of peace went in different directions.  Sri krishna the supreme consciousness.. came to Aranmula… That too he came in boat made of six bamboos.. which is the meaning of the Aranmula..

In between when he was thristy.. one old lady given him the tender coconut and lassy.. Where he had a stop over.. and then continued towards the place where today’s temple erected.

Family concept.-New generation

Hey friends.. Here comes another week end… i happen to have read one report about a school boy revealed his ambition that he wanted to become a television.. The reason for that he told is whole family gather around it spend most of the time with that and take cares when it is not work.. Where as no one cares about him… Nobody have time to spend with him…He was sad about that..

This is what made me sit back and look into me.. I used to complain with my parents that they don’t want to talk to me.. After 7’0 clock in the evening…. mother is not available to talk.. She is very busy with her favorite devotional serials… Father will be immersed himself into the newspaper…

Then once i started complain about this.. That in the house no one talk to each other in the evening.. Everyone is busy in their own world.. I suggested that we should have dinner together and in the dinner time No TV…

That changed the situation a little bit.. Last March i disconnected the cable connection in the home.. Now i have lots and lots of time.. I can do my household work… Read favorite books.. and take care everything.. and most important thing is i can take care of my family more effectively….

Friends, i want you also think about that… Why do we want the cable TV connection … Is it not killing our time, our friendships…. and destroy our family…

Kururamma

Kururamma with great enthusiasm… went to have a bath in the nearby pond, where the Chemmangattu amma and her servents were taking bath.. Seeing Kururamma.. they started made fun of her.. She was not affected by their comments.. But when she was taking bath,, water spilled over Chemmangattu amma.. and she started abuse Kururamma.. and told Vilwamangalam swamyar will never visit her. This hurt Kururamma.. and she went back with a gloomy face and lost herself not know what to do… Then Unni came to her and asked why she is sad.. Hearing the story from the Kururamm…Unni consoled her and assured her that defenitely swamiyar will visit her..

Then hurriedly she started preparations to welcome Swamiyar… Vilwamangalam swamiyar started go towards Chemmangattu illam.. then suddely his palanquin stopped and not moved further.. Then Swamiyar made up his mind and went to Kururillam…

Kururamma

Kururamma once heard of Vilwamangalam swamiyar, and thought she could serve the swamiyar, which she took as a privilege. She sent Unni to ask swamiyar whether he can come and visit her so that she can serve him lunch and do pooja and prayer listen to the stories of her lord from him.

Swamiyar readily agreed that he can come the next day. Kururamma with great pleasure started preparation for his arrival. Then hearing this, one of her envious neighbour Chemmangattu amma who was rich, sent for him to have lunch in their house on that same day. She wanted to humiliate Kururamma, because whole village respected kururamma.

What happens is the next story…
