With Margazhi month upon us I’m going to try and post some verses from Thiruppavai with English translation. Apologizing ahead if there are any errors.

Thank you @GunduHuDuGa dor reminding us about Margazhi


Here are some resources to both get the verses and read in detail the translation and the more detailed treatment of the meaning of the devotional verses.

#Thiruppavai

Andal is Devi’s amsavatharam, Sri Devi incarnated in the form of Seethā performed upadeshak to the people of the earth. It is said that she even did Upadesham to Ravana who did not heed her but in his next birth as Sisupālan redeemed himself.

Through her #Thiruppavai prabhandham she is showing us the way to reach Bhagavan’s feet.
