July 17th 2007 - the first day of the month of Aadi – July, according to the Tamil Almanac. Aadi Pirappu was celebrated (Birth of Aadi month) on this day, making Kozhukattai and Aadi Koozh and sharing with relatives and friends.<br /><br />The month of Aadi is considered inauspicious by the Hindus, which continues till August 17th 2007. But the month of Aadi is considered sacred for Shakthi worship.<br /><br />Young women who are unmarried throng the temple especially on Aadi Sevvai during the month of Aadi to make vows, fast and worship the Goddess to invoke her blessings to find life partners for them.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4338101840911973456-6665393265114951937?l=aadipirappu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>HAnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338101840911973456.post-57196848494609924442007-07-23T19:54:00.001-07:002008-11-13T09:22:07.467-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BL_iCCkYMKA/RqVp4jr17LI/AAAAAAAACEs/b3I3eRmCKUY/s1600-h/1+Aadi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090591374184934578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BL_iCCkYMKA/RqVp4jr17LI/AAAAAAAACEs/b3I3eRmCKUY/s400/1+Aadi.jpg" border="0" /></a>Aadi was born on a Tuesday (Aadi Seivvaai) this time<br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4338101840911973456-5719684849460992444?l=aadipirappu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>HAnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338101840911973456.post-84371154768040807582007-07-23T19:53:00.002-07:002008-11-13T09:22:07.559-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BL_iCCkYMKA/RqVpwDr17KI/AAAAAAAACEk/GRNzVWewOTU/s1600-h/2+July.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090591228156046498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BL_iCCkYMKA/RqVpwDr17KI/AAAAAAAACEk/GRNzVWewOTU/s400/2+July.jpg" border="0" /></a>Special poojas were performed for the Goddess Durkai.
