Dear Nandaji's
Jai Nandalala!!
Wish you a very happy,prosperous and peaceful New Year!
Sri Akka addressed a packed audience in Her special way.
She said that this year is ruled by Lord Suryan and LordShani,yet it is predominantly Lord Suriyan' who will be worshiped.
There are 21 powerful Surya Sthalams of which UdayaMarthandapuram on Nagapattinam-Vedaranyam route is worth visiting.
Also,visit SuryanarayanaPerumal Temple situated in KeezhThirupati.Here the Lord wears a Navagraha Toe ring do not miss.
Chant AdityaHrudayam composed by Sage Agasthiyardaily.Perform Surya Namaskaram especially on Sunday.Step out of your home and look at theSun before you start your day.
Wheat preparations like Rotis,Upma,Rice and sathuma can be offered as prasadam. Chant Surya Gayathri on Sunday and offer any one of the item mentioned above as Naivedhyam .
Sri Akka spoke about the significance of the numbers for 2013-a happy year.
In total 6.It is the number of Lord Shukran.Numerals Zero and 3 are special.Since this year commenced on Aailyam star ,it is a good time for people born in that star as well as  for students. Two (2)and(3) adds up to 5.It  is the number of planet Budhan(Intellect). Restrain children from watching Television .This year they will perform well even with minimum effort.

Paramapadham:this traditional game is usually played on VaikuntaEkadesi day.It is a good form of exercise for the eye and hands.The ladder represents lessons gleaned from our forefathers.TheDayakattai(Dice)represents the our capacity to interpret the game ,or our understanding, or our bhakthi with which we play.
Sri Akka requested one and all to play the game at home.She also said that the Dayakattai could be used to help one over come dilemma .
How?
when the mind is in a state of confusion and is looking for a solution, roll out the Dayakattai in your Pooja room keeping in mind an odd num to begin with.Tell yourself that if this odd num( whatever number you have in your mind)is cast ,then you will go ahead .The next day you may think in even numbers..that is fine.This is a guideline to help you .

The Snakes represent the five senses;the ladder is a stepping stone towards Bhakthi.The steps should be strong and the mind unwavering.The five senses needs to be kept in check to prevent us from sliding down the like the snakes in the game.
ThamizhPanchangam:ThisPanchangam being informative, will clarify your doubts and bring about clarity.
Jai Nandalala placard:
Fix the Jai Nandalala plates onto your entrance doors at home or Office.it should be visible to all.
News for expectant mothers:
Women who have conceived this year or those who are two months pregnant already ,will give birth to Boy babies.
Wealth accumulation and Money:
This year the flow of money will be good.But spend cautiously.Using the Dayakattai will help curtail unwarranted expenses.
Shanka bangle or finger ring:(Conch bangle worn by Bengali Women)
Lord Krishna won the battle by blowing on the Conch.
Women should wear this bangle or ring to seek GodessLakshmi 's blessings.If you do not have a pair, wear just one .Do not wear Shanku ear studs!!

Conclusion:
Quoting Sri Akka verbatim"Yeneeyilerinalumorunodiyilpulanizhandhal, paambuvaaikulpovadhunischayam.ArivaimazhungavidamalbhakthiseidhuindhaSukraphalammigundhaaandainalladhoruaandaghavalamkozhikumaandaghavaazhndhukaatuvom.Aailyanakshathrathilpiranthullathu.Budhan graham aadikkam.Budhanin en aindhu(5).AindhupulankalaiyumIraivanidamvasappaduthuvom.

Translation:
It takes a second to succumb to our weaknesses while climbing the ladder of Spirituality causing a slide into the mouth of the Snake (Vices).
Sharpen your intellect and immerse yourself in Bhakthi .Let us work and look forward to welcoming Lord Shukran this year.Since this year has begun in the Aailyam star,  Planet Buddhan is predominant .5 is his significant number.
Reign in your five senses and channelise it towards the path of Divinity...
