On April 10^th Navakalasa ThirumanjanamThirumanjana Thiruvizha From 4^th May to 2^nd JuneTo Moolavar Danvantri PerumalAt Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, Walajapet

With the blessings of our beloved Guruji “Yagnasri Kayilai Gnanaguru” Dr. Sri Muralidhara Swamigal, we are conducting Navakalasa Thiruanjanam on 10^th April and Thirumanjana Thiruvizha from 4^th May to 2^nd June to Moolavar Sri Danvantri Perumal at our Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, Walajapet.

Importance and Benefits of Thirumanjanam – Abishegam :

"Abishekam", as mentioned, is the term used with reference to saivaite formalities. For Vaishnavites, it is "Thirumanjanam". The deities, very importantly made of "Nava pashana" like the one of Lord Muruga in Palani and others made of "pancha lokha" are applied with special preparations mainly to extract the medicinal benefits of such vigrahas.

Nava Pashana is believed to be an amalgam of nine minerals – Veeram, Pooram, Rasam, Jathilingam, Kandagam(Sulphur), Gauri Pasanam, Vellai Pasanam, Mridharsingh and Silasat.

Before applying items like Milk, Fruit-mix, Honey etc, the statues are cleaned with oil, soap-nut, turmeric etc. Then the application of eatable items will render transfer of Nava pashana or the metallic  flavour into the applied items. These items are later given to the devotees as prasadam and consuming the same with medicinal particles of the statues, will add strength to our body and will cleanse and clear any in-built deficiencies. This secrecy of science is not openly conveyed to people, lest, they might think "Ho! Only that!” .

One other lateral concept is that the metal and stone statues have to be kept cooled regularly -- even daily -- in order to suppress the physical phenomenon of "expansion of solids", which might deform or crack the structure. Abishekam will keep the structure at optimal temperature.

The third and commonly seen concept is to treat the deity as our child and bathe it and adorn it with vasthram and flowers, to show our love, as you have rightly mentioned  Most of the Alwars have treated the Lord Narayana as child and rendered pasurams of conducting bathing (Neerattam), which are sung in the temple at the time of performing Thirumanjanam.
