SVS 327 [Nahusho - 312] (34.4)

312. OM NAHUSHAYA NAMA: नहुषाय नम:
Binds people by His miraculous power.

During Brahmotsavam, the Lord displays various ornaments and dresses, never repeating. This festival starts on Vaikasi Hastam with Dwajarohanam and ends on the next day of Vaikasi Shravanam [when there will be Theertavari], with Dwaja avarohanam. After Simha vahanam on First evening, in His sannidhi is celebrated 'Irandam Saatthu [இரண்டாம் சாத்து]'. On the Second day, in the morning the Lord is on procession on Hamsa vahanam.




In the evening the Lord is in procession in Surya Prabha.





Nahusha means binding. Vaikasi-Visaka, in Nammalwar's birthday. On that day, the Lord arrives at Nammalwar sannidhi. We are bound by our Karmas. Punya is like golden shackles and papa is like iron shackles. Our actions result in papa/punya.
