THIRU NAAMA PADHIGAM

Thiru Naama Padhigam is one of two main padhigams of South African Indians who recite this  during the Purattaasi month specially on Saturdays of Purattasi month or daily too. The other one is “Garuda paththu”

 

 Thiru Naama Padhigam is a very special composition. Author and year of composition are not clearly known though some sort of “signature lines are seen …like…Karieesa Piragasar….”.

This finds a place in a compendia called “ SillaRai koththu” or SillaRai kattadam” ( sillaRai means loose items .koththu(kattadam) means bunch or cluster )which is familiar to me from my young days. Whenever a group of South Africans arrive they will ask my father to buy some Tamil books (as my father was a Tamil teacher ). This“ sillarai koththu”  will be one of them. Regarding the other books I will list them some time later.

 

 

When you recite this … the ending of the verses say …..nindra naamam ; irundha naamam; vilaiyaadu naamam; kodukkum naamam, ratchikkum naamam, vandha naamam, aLikkum naamam,thaduththa naamam ……..gives you “pullarikkum” effect (get  goose- bumps..Thrill ..excitement )  as if HE…LORD NARAYANA  IS STANDING AND LOOKING AT YOU!

 

 

Thiru-naama –padhigam

nindra naamam ; irundha naamam; vilaiyaadu naamam; kodukkum naamam, ratchikkum naamam, vandha naamam, aLikkum naamam,thaduththa naamam.

 

EXPLANATION OF WORDS:

Also the VaishNava symbol Naamam which is  put on the forehead which represents or depicts  the HOLY FEET OF LORD VISHNU LIKE A… U… and MAHALAKSHMI represented by the MIDDLE RED STROKE.

 

Padhigam….means (Paththu) Ten verses or songs on the chosen deity.

 

nindra naamam ; nil is stand.. nindra is stood( for You)

irundha naamam; iru means stay irundha is that which stays (for you)

vilaiyaadu naamam; Vilaiyaadu is play(v) .. viLaiyattu is play (N) Plays for you… plays with you

kodukkum naamam, Kodu is give kodukkum is that which gives (you everything).

ratchikkum naamam, ratchi is protect .. ratchikkum is that which is protecting (you)..

aLikkum naamam, ALi is give . aLikkum is that which gives( YOU)

thaduththa naamam.. thadu is stop.. thaduththa is stopped (something for you)

 

Here every verse conveys a big story! Recite this and get the Blessings of Lord  NARAYANAA, GOVINDHA,PERUMAL,SRINIVAASA.!
