Aani
Uthiram or Aani Thirumanjanam, is an auspicious day in the Tamil
Month of Aani (June -July) and is dedicated to Lord Nataraja (Shiva). The
festival is observed on the Uthiram Nakshatram day. It is believed that
Lord Nataraja gives darshan in the months Aani and Margazhi. The Lord’s form
demonstrates his five-fold functions: creation, preservation, destruction,
concealment and salvation.
Lord Shiva is the
‘Complete God’. In Hinduism, who is attributed as Mahadeva, the one who is
ubiquitous but nowhere visible; who is the creator of Brahma, Vishnu and Indra;
whom all the gods worship; who transcends all natural phenomenon (Prakriti) and
the Absolute (Purusha); whom the Rishis who have arrived at truth contemplate;
who is indestructible, supreme, the Brahman himself...
It is popularly believed
that it was on Aani Uthiram day that Lord Shiva appeared before Sage
Manikkavachakar under a Kurundai Tree and offered upadesha (advice). Sage
Manikkavachakar is the author of Thiruvachakam.
