Harivarasanam song is sung when doors of the sanctum sanctorum of the
In the beginning, the main priest used to play flute while closing the doors of the temple. Harivarasanam became the Urakku Pattu of Ayyappa after the infamous fire incident in the 50s, which burn down the old temple. When the new temple was built and the pujas commenced, Harivarasanam was inducted as the Urakku Pattu – the song to send Ayyappa to sleep.
Swami Vimochananda and Vadakatham Ishwaran Namboodiri (who was the then melsanthi – chief priest) was responsible for making Harivarasanam the Urakku Pattu of Ayyappa.
Today, the chief priest and the other priests stand on both the sides of Ayyappa idol and recite the Harivarasanam. While singing the song one by one the priest exits the Sanctum Sanctorum without making noise. When the song is about halfway through, the chief priest puts off each lamp in the sanctum sanctorum. When the final line is sung, the chief priest closes the door of the Sanctum Sanctorum and locks it.
It is the wish of every Ayyappa devotee to present at the Sannidhanam when Harivarasanam is rendered. The emotion that it creates on devotees is unexplainable.

The pleasure or emotion when you here the song is un explainable and one should experience the song at the Sannidhanam it self as it cannot be explaned by words. Harivarasanam has vibration in it which i personally felt at the Sannidhanam.

The full name of the poet is Kumbakkudi Kulathur Subrahmanya Iyer, say some articles published on this subject in the print media.
I entirely support the last paragraph of this blog "It is the wish of every Ayyappa devotee to present at the Sannidhanam when Harivarasanam is rendered. The emotion that it creates on devotees is unexplainable" .. I had this divine opportunity and the memory of this still brings tears in my eyes.. unexplainable.. God Bless all of us!!
The emotion that Harivaraanam creates on devotees is unexplainable. It brings tears in my eyes everytime.
