The Poosam Nakshatram that occurs during the Thai month is believed to be very special. The month of Thai is also called Makara Masam. It is symbolic of the End. The sound of Aum is the joining of A, Oo and Mm – On the day of Thaipoosam, at the time of sunrise, the moon will also be visible.
This rare occurrence is symbolic of the merging of our souls with the supreme being.
In Palani, it is the chant of Velmuruga Arokara all the way.
Thousands of devotees take the Kavadi and their chorus of Arokara while they climb up the mountain. It is a sight to see and an experience to savour.
Come be a part of a dynamic family; loving and serving god in all and aiming to spread the love of god.
