27th Thirupaavai | Koodarai Vellum | Dhanya Ratheesh

Thiruppavai is a set of 30 Pasurams, composed by Andal Goda Devi in the 8th century in Tamilnadu. It is a part of the 4000 Divya Prabandham and is in praise of Lord Vishnu and considered as a devotional offering. Thiruppavai is recited daily and it is celebrated in a grand manner in the month of Margazhi (Dec-Jan), with discourses and musical renditions. Essentially it is a wake-up call to take up devotional work and service to Lord Krishna through a purification bath and devotional service.

Presenting the 27th Paasuram, Koodarai Vellum.

"Koodarai Vellum Seer Govinda" signifies the completion of fasting by Andal on the 27th day of margazhi.
"Koodarai" means those who do not wish to join. Vellum" means Lord wins even those hearts.
This is the first paasuram she mentions Krishna as Govinda, lord of the universe, whose love flows towards those who seek protection.
Andal is asking for prospective gifts and treasures which highlights the importance of accepting everything as God's prasadam
She proposes to offer "Akkara vadisal", a dish made of rice and milk. Rice boiled in milk without water signifies that we experience God with purity with no dilution. Also food should be offered to God then shared as prasadam with everyone around
