Vada Malai to Hanuman

My friend can you please tell me what is this vada malai. I have not heard this term before or does this term belongs to south india because I being a north indian am not aware of this term.
Please clarify this to me.:idea

 

Thanks for letting me know.

 

When hanuman was a kid he wanted to swallow The Sun , he thought sun is a big fruit. When he tried to swallow the sun, rahu was also coming to hav his share. as solar eclipse was going on. So Rahu asked Hanumanji to let him . Hanuman allowed Rahu to complete solar eclipse , Rahu became happy and gave blessings to Him. "Whoever do pooja with urad dal to hanuman will be free from malefic actions of Rahu." urad dal is considered as the grain for Rahu. In south India we make Vada malai to hanuman And in north india they offer jangri.

Hi All,

is the vada malai given in temple after fulfillment of some wishes?? and how many Vadais in each Garland..

 

ssm014,

Vadai malai is offered to the Lord . Prayers are co-joined to fulfill one's wishes. It is like any offering to the Lord and is perfectly upto one's choice. A few may offer before , and a few after the fulfillment of the desires.

We usually offer vadai malai before the fulfillment of our wishes, seeking his help and guidance. If u're doulble minded, u may talk to the purohit at Hanuman temple. Alternatively, u don't have to have any binding wish to do this offering.Hope this helps.

 

in my mother's ancestral home; there is a small temple and hanuman is workshipped there. all the local and villagers would come and offer their prayers there and vadai mala was a very famous offering.

a senior aunt of mine would usually make this (after a special bath and some prayers) and i understand it is prepared differently (to what we eat at home; this is without salt).. for this offering, usually they would come and tell my aunt and pay the amount. When the mala is made; in the offerer's presence, my cousin (the pujari) would offer it to the idol...

this is a very powerful offering (in my experience) and is usually done after the wish is fulfilled
