Had we noticed before just now much the Sunday morning recitations of the Thiruvasagam by the Siruthonda Nayanar Thiruthondu Sabhai can be like the bhajan sessions that we’re more accustomed to hearing from the bhakta groups associated with the Perumal Koyil? Or is it that today there’s a different group, the Vedapuriswara Sivanadiyar Thirukootam that’s running the show? Either way, it’s clear I hadn’t paid attention to just how much like a bhajan group this was. Or how it combined young and old, everyone rapping the rhythms with their karathalam. These groups seem to do what they do regardless of what else might be happening at the temple, or what else the town may be celebrating! A single-minded focus.
