GLIMPSES OF MEENAKSHI BRAHMOTSAVAM ALSO KNOWN AS CHITHIRAI BRAHMOTSAVAM || FLAG HOISTING CEREMONY (DVAJAROHANAM) || 15 APRIL 2021

THE MEENAKSHI BRAHMOTSAVAM IS THE TIME WHEN THE ADVENT OF THE DIVINE FEMININE CONSCIOUSNESS HAPPENS AS DEVI MEENAKSHI. THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO DEVI KANCHANAMALA AND THE PANDYA KING MALAYADHWAJA HAD PRAYED FERVENTLY FOR AN HEIR TO THE MIGHTY PANDYA KINGDOM.

THE RAJAGURU AGASTYA MUNI HAD SUGGESTED THE KING PERFORM A PUTRAKAMESHTI YAGAM, A RITUAL WHICH WOULD BESTOW THE KING WITH AN HEIR TO THE KINGDOM AND THE THRONE.

DEVI KANCHANAMALA, IN HER PREVIOUS BIRTH AS VIDYAVATI WAS A VERY ARDENT DEVOTEE OF DEVI PARVATI. PLEASED WITH HER PENANCE DEVI PARASHAKTI APPEARED IN FRONT OF HER AS A SMALL GIRL. VIDYAVATI HAD ASKED AS A BOON FOR DEVI PARASHAKTI TO BE BORN AS HER DAUGHTER IN THAT VERY FORM IN WHICH SHE HAD APPEARED IN FRONT OF HIM.

THE PANDYA KING MALAYADHWAJA ALONG WITH HIS WIFE DEVI KANCHANAMALA PERFORMED THE PUTRAKAMESHTI YAGAM. WHEN THE PURNAHUTI WAS OFFERED ALL THE DEVAS CAME AND ACCEPTED THE OFFERINGS. A 3 YEAR OLD GIRL, WHO IS DARK COMPLEXIONED WITH A SLIGHT GREEN HUE AND IS RADIANT WITH THE AURA OF THE FULL MOON. DEVI PARASHAKTI MANIFESTED IN THIS FORM OF TATAATAKAA TO BRING AUSPICIOUSNESS AND ENLIGHTENMENT TO THE WHOLE WORLD.

ALL TEMPLE FESTIVALS ARE ‘UTSAVAMS’ AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS CALLED ‘BRAHMOTSAVAM’. THE SANSKRIT WORD ‘UTSAVA’ DENOTES AN ACT OF CREATION OR RE-CREATION. IF WE STUDY THE FEATURES OF THE BRAHMOTSAVAM, WE WILL FIND THAT MORE THAN ANY OTHER TEMPLE FESTIVAL, THE BRAHMOTSAVAM WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE A FESTIVAL OF RE-CREATION.

A BRAHMOTSAVAM IS AN UTSAVAM OR A FESTIVAL THAT IS ORGANIZED BY THE LORD CREATOR BRAHMA HIMSELF. BRAHMA BEING THE CREATOR OF THE COSMOS IS SAID TO ORGANIZE SUCH A FESTIVAL WITH UNIVERSAL GRANDEUR AND CELEBRATION.

DHVAJAROHANAM IS THE RITUAL WHICH MARKS THE START OF THE BRAHMOTSAVAM. IT IS A VERY SACRED RITUAL WHEREIN THE DHVAJA (FLAG) IS HOISTED ON THE DHVAJASTAMBHA (FLAG POLE).

ONCE THAT HAPPENS, PARAMASHIVA AND PARASHAKTI AS SOMA-SUNDARESHWARA AND MEENAKSHI ALONG WITH ALL THE 330 MILLION GODS AND GODDESSES FROM ALL THE 14 LOKAS LAND VERY INTENSELY AND POWERFULLY IN THE TEMPLE PREMISES TO CELEBRATE THE BRAHMOSTAVAM.

IN THE KAMIKA AGAMA, UTTARA PADA, MAHOTASAVA VIDHIH, VERSE 1 , PARAMASHIVA SAYS:
UTSAVAṀ SAṀPRAVAKṢYĀMI YATHĀVADANUPŪRVAKAM| DHVAJĀROHOVAROHĀNTĀ KRIYĀ UTSAVA UCYATE||
THE ACTIVITIES WHICH TAKE PLACE FROM THE BEGINNING OF FLAG-HOISTING TO THE LOWERING OF THE FLAG GO BY THE COLLECTIVE NAME ‘UTSAVA’
