Goda (Aandal) Ashtothara

Goda (Aandal)  Ashtothara

Translated by
P.R.Ramachander

(Aandal  (godha) also   called Kothai was a baby found lying under a thulasi plant  by Periyazhvar(also called Vishnu Chitha) in  the town of Srivilliputhur of Tamil Nadu.She was considered as an Avatara  of bhoomi devi  . Since Vishnu Chitha used to   offer garlands to lord Vishnu , in the temple, Aandal  used to wear   those  garlands before the were offered Vishnu. When Vishnu chitha chided her , it seems the Lord told him that   he likes those garlands. Due to this she was called Choodi kodutha chuddar kodi.  She fell in live with Lord Rananatha   and  when taken to Sri Rangam , she is supposed to have merged with the God.  She is the only lady who was among the twelve azhwars(Divine saints dedicated  to Lord Vishnu)  and  is the author three  great  prayer  works called  THiruppavai   , Nachiar thrumozhi and Varanam Ayiram  . It is practice for Vaishnavas   worshipping Lord Vishnu any where  to recite the last two stanzas of Thiruppavai .The thirty songs of this great work is sung by  unmarried girls , early in the morning   during   the month of Margazhi (November-December )  and later spend the day in severe penance  ,  It is interesting  to note that the last two stanzas of this great work is sung during the coronation of   the king of Thailand.All the people of Tamil Nadu   consider her as devotion personified. Let  that great devotee  who became a God bless  us to)
