ANdAL nAchiyAr prays to emperumAn in the end of thiruppAvai that he removes the obstacles while serving him. She says to emperumAn "unakkE nAm AtcheyvOm maRRai nam kAmangAL mARRu" - bless me to serve purely for the pleasure of you alone (no tinge of desire to satisfy ones own pleasure while serving emperumAn). It is of great importance to clearly understand the obstacles we face in our day-to-day life and how to remove them so that we can desire to ultimately reach the state of existing and serving purely for the pleasure of emperumAn.
emperumAnAr explains to vangi puratthu nambi the obstacles that are faced by srIvaishNavas in various aspects of day-to-day life. vangi puratthu nambi documents these instructions in a wonderful grantham with commentary named virOdhi parihArangaL (removal of obstacles). We are now viewing the English translation of this grantham with the help of the explanations given by srI u. vE. V V Ramanujam swamy. Please view the next article of the series at http://ponnadi.blogspot.com/2014/07/virodhi-pariharangal-31.html . In this section of the grantham, obstacles relating to Athma samarpaNam (offering oneself) is discussed in detail.

By the grace of srIman nArAyaNan, nammAzhwAr, emperumAnAr and mAmunigaL, we have a new website for kAttu mannAr kOyil as part of the http://koyil.org initiative. Please visit http://kattumannarkoyil.koyil.org/ to know more about this beautiful sthalam. This is the avathAra sthalam (birth place) of two great stalwarts of our sath sampradhAyam - nAthamunigaL and ALavandhAr.

Many thanks to srI u. vE. srInivAsAchAryar swamy and srIrAman swamy for providing valuable inputs which were very useful to build this website. Going forward all uthsavams and updates relating to this dhivya dhEsam can be viewed from this website. On 30th, nAthamunigaL thiruvavathAra mahOthsavam is starting and will conculde on 9th July (Ani anusham) - this website is a humble samarpaNai at his lotus feet.
