Sudithanda Sudarkodi

This is the month of margazhi(Great discovery by me)....Margazhi how did i know this info???Lots of things happening in my home made me to realize

its margazhi...

My father offers pooja exactly at 4am in the morning(Morning????!!!!Naah its actaully night in my dictionary) to the siva lingam...Rudram(Sloga)

from one side and Kacheri from other side always hit my ears,but who cares,i am always at the peak of my sleep..It is actually a lullaby for me...And the

delicious Pongal,which my mother prepares everday as prasadam after offering it to god is simply sumptuous...


Let me not deviate from my topic...I am gonna write about Sudithanda Sudarkodi,she prayed to god to be her husband...Yeah you got my point the

personality is Kodai(Godai-Go-earth,dai-given by) or andal(one who attracts)....


I dont remember the name of the king(blame my memory) who ruled Pandia kingdom...he was very much concerned about the betterment of his

people...He was searching for some nice erudite person,to whom he can hear wise sayings and offer him some rewards...He came to know about Vishnuchitta,who

stayed in Srivalliputhur...Immediately he sent a person to bring vishnuchitta...


vishnuchitta was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu...Lord Vishnu spoke to Vishnuchitta during his prayers and asked him to pay a visit to

pandian kingdom...Vishnuchitta did pay a visit and The king was happy and offered rewards....


One fine morning Vishnuchitta was busy in collecting the thulasi leaves,immediately he found a gal baby lying under the tree...He took the

child...He was astonished....Vishnuchitta never worried about anything,his only attitude was to worship Lord Vishnu,he never desired about anything...He was

worried about the child,but decided to take care of the child...


The child grew into a lovely gal and he named her as Kodai...Kodai was equally spiritual as Vishnuchitta...She always prayed Vishnu...She

prepared the tulasi garland everyday which Vishnuchitta offered it to god...One day she wore the garland and removed it and kept in the basket,Vishnuchitta

offered it to god...daily she continued the routine of wearing the garland,one fine day Vishnuchitta noticed it and felt very sad..he pointed kodai not to do

it anymore..That day he went to vishnu temple and offered the prayers without the garland...Lord vishnu spoke to Vishnuchitta to offer the garland made by

kodai,infact god prefered to wear Kodais's garland daily ..vishnuchitta did offer the same garland...Obviously she was named as Sudithanda sudarkodi....


Kodai attained the age of a beautiful gal..vishnuchitta was worried about her marraige...Kodai told vishnuchitta that she will marry only lord

Vishnu...Also lord Vishnu came in Vishnuchitta's dream and the spoke the same words as kodai....


The marraige between between Kodai and Vishnu took place in Srirangam and the Janavasam from Srivelliputtur to Srirangam...
Srivelliputur is famous or Andal Utsavam...

If i didnt speak about marghazi and Andal there is no use in writing a post..Andal offered Thirupavai slogas to lord vishnu...


It is believed today that during marghazi month gals who are not married if recite thirupavai and offer prayers to god will definitely get

a nice life and husband....So gals why are you waiting???Get up early,pay a visit to temples and ofcourse do recite Thirupavai...


PS:Andal is the only lady from Alwar family
PSS:Vishnuchitta is also known as periyalwar..
