The most exciting Margazhi months starts. Krishna says in Bhgavat geeta- māsānāṁ mārga-śīrṣo ’ham (. Of months I am Mārgaśīrṣa) .

This month of magarazi or Margasirsa is So important that andal took a vratha for 30 days
(Here is a charming child dressed up as andal)
Andal is the incarnation of Bhudevi( mother earth ) The whole month is soaked in spiritual fervour mainly because of Andal's work- Thiruppavai. Tiruppavai itself is an echo from the Vedas and the Upanishads. Andal never refers to herself as Andal. She would like to be known as
Vishnuchittan Kodai. He became her Acharya. She will
approach Krishna only through the father. This shows the importance of Acharya in spiritual life. Andal was born in Srivilliputhur near madurai ( Tamilnadu chose the Srivilliputhur temple as its State emblem.)
More about andal and her wonderful history in coming days.
