'Sirappu' refers to festivals and special rites, and 'poosanai' to daily worship. Valluvar says that if the sky dries up, the villages will be unable to carry them out.\n\nHis social vision shows here. Worship is done with flowers, ghee, milk, rice and cloth, all fruits of the earth. If nothing grows, how will the lamps and offerings in the temples continue? A people with empty stomachs cannot sustain worship either. So even devotion needs rain to stay alive.\n\nCommentators give weight to the 'um' in 'vaanorkkum', meaning even the gods. It does not mean disrespect to worship; it shows Valluvar's regard for it. His point is that drought is so cruel that it can halt worship itself.\n\nValluvar thus joins divine worship and the economy of a place in one verse. By asking where the materials of worship come from, he shows the worth of rain from another angle. This does not lower the value of worship; it shows the value of the world that holds worship up. A festival, in this light, is the joy of a land that has been fed by the sky.\n\nEven today our festivals, temple chariot processions and Pongal celebrations follow the harvest. Only after good rain and good yield does the village gather for festival. It should become a habit to thank the rain at every festival.","story_title_ta":"\u0bb5\u0bb1\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0b9f \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd

Dry Vaigai and the Chithirai Festival","story_en":"Every year in the month of Chithirai in Madurai, the wedding of Meenakshi and Sundareswarar and the descent of Kallazhagar into the Vaigai river are celebrated as a huge festival. Kallazhagar travels from the Alagar temple and lakhs of people gather to see him enter the river.\n\nOne year three monsoons in a row failed. When Chithirai came the Vaigai lay completely dry, only sand. The temple priest, Sundararaman Bhattar, was troubled. \"For the Lord who descends into the river, if there is no river, how can there be a festival?\" he asked the town elders.\n\nAn ordinary flower seller, Chellammal, said, \"Sir, with no rain there are no flowers in the garden. With no flowers I cannot make garlands. This year we have had to cut short even the worship we offer to God.\" Tears welled in her eyes.\n\nThe priest and townspeople took a decision together that day. They would hold the festival simply, and use the remaining funds to desilt tanks in dry areas and give seed paddy to poor farmers. They joined worship and human service.\n\nThat year in Aadi, rain on the Western Ghats brought flood to the Vaigai. The next Chithirai, when Kallazhagar entered the river, it flowed full. The crowd sprinkled the water with cries of Govinda. Garlands piled high at Chellammal's stall at that festival, but she offered the first garland to the river itself.","reflection_ta":"\u0b89\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bc1\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0b9f\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bc0\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bae\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b89\u0bb4\u0bb5\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b9a\u0bca\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0b9f\u0bbf \u0b87\u0ba3\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bbe\u0bae\u0bcd?","reflection_en":"How could your festivals or family rituals include a moment of gratitude for water and for the farmers who feed us?","image_prompt":"The Vaigai river at Madurai during Chithirai festival with the Meenakshi temple gopuram in the background, Lord Kallazhagar's palanquin entering shallow water among joyful devotees, a flower seller offering a garland to the river.
