Morning

8.30 a.m. - 'Purappadu'

After the daily Go-puja, Sri Swamigal led the 'purappadu' of Madhuri Sakhi - Premika Varadan. At the entrance (of Bhagavatha Bhavanam) the procession stopped and the Bhagavathars began (singing) 'Thodayamangalam'.

The 'purappadu' had hardly covered a distance of a few feet when Sri Swamigal began singing in His melodious voice 'Thvameva mama sharanam hey Gurunatha!' and the devotees joined in. Thereafter, Sri Swamigal sang,

'Bhajare Guru Charanam!'

'Sankara Guro, Sankara Guro!'

'Sabapathiku Veru Deivam Samanamaagumaa!'

'Vizhi kidaikkuma Abhaya Karam Kidaikkuma!'

'Bhaje Sathgurum anisham bhaje Sathgurum!'

'Barha Peetam Natavara Vapuhu!'

Here, Sri Swamigal repeated the line a number of times, head thrown back, eyes closed, His right hand stretched out, enjoying every word of it!

'Sarva Sulabha Premika Varadha!'

'Gayathi Radha Vanamali!'

'Hari guna gaavathu naachungi!'

'Murahara Nakadhara Govinda!'

The 'purappadu' then moved towards the gate. The Bhagavathars sang Naamavalis as the whole procession moved out of the Ashram gates southwards.
