SRIVAISHNAVISM

From the Desk of Dr.Sadagopan.

|| Tribute to NammAzhwAr : Thiruviruttham ||

Sri MadhavakkaNNan is continuing with the blessed kaimkaryam of posting his translations of the individual paaasurams of Thriuvaimozhi . I will provide some additional material dealing with the mood of NammAzhwAr that provides the frame work of AzhwAr's anubhavam of BhagavAn and His consort as SaraNya dampathis and his SaraNAgathi to them .

I will refer to te works of paramapadha vaasis UtthamUr Sri Veeraraghavaacharya Swami , PrathivAdhi Bhayankaram ANNangarAcchArya Swamy and the sUthrams of AchArya Hrudhayam in these postings besides references to relevant Veda manthrams .

Traditonal view holds that the four Sanskritic Vedas correspond to the spirit of the four Prabhandhams of NammAzhwAr (Tamizh MaRais). Thiruviruttham is related to Rg Vedam , ThiruvAsiriyam to Yajur Vedam, Periya ThiruvandhAthi to Atharva vedam and Thiruvaaimozhi to Saama Vedam. There is a common thread that runs across the four Sanskritic Vedams that are mirrored in the four Prabhandhams of NammAzhwAr. We will focus on them without emphasis on tight matching the individual Vedams to their counterpart prabhandhams in these postings. Wherever appropriate, we will quote the Veda Mantrams that would have a close kinship to the spirit of the paasurams of ThirukkuruhUr SatakOpan.

Artha Panchakam : Jn~Ana and ajn~Ana Panchakams **************************************************

7

In an earlier postings during the celebrations for ANDAL , we covered the topic of artha panchakam in the context of the messages in Thiruppaavai paasurams ( Bhakthi Archives ) . We will take off from there and focus on the pentads of jn~Athavya (that which should be known) ajn~Anam and jn~Anam .

NammAzhwAr instructed us that Bhagavadh Vishayam is important and samsAram is unimportant. He wanted us to have the vivEkam (discriminating Knowledge) about the sorrows of samsAram and the blessedness of Bhagavadh anubhavam .

VedAs are described as " traiguNya VishayA vedA : ". ther topics are (1) thyAjyam (2) upAdhEyam and (3) niradhisayAnandham . ThyAjyam deals with items that have to be cast aside , shaken off . upAdhEyam is associated with the acts that make us firmly hold onto the most important entities and principles such as BhagavAn's sacred feet thru mUla Manthram , dhvayam and carama slOkam ( Rahasya thrayams ) as revealed to us by our AzhwArs and AchAryAs . NiradhisayAnandham ( anthamil pErinbam ) is the bliss of Moksham resulting from saraNAgathi with its five angAs that incorporates ThyAjyam , UpAdhEyam and leads to niradisayAnandham .

Five Jn~Athavya ajn~Anams ( Panchakams ) ******************************************

1. PARASVAROOPA AJ~NAANAM : Forgetting the Lord and His consort through samsAra klEsams ( Bheethis ) as referred to by NammAzhwAr , " maRanthEn unnai munnam " .

2. AATHMA SVAROOPA AJ~NAANAM: " NammAzhwAr's paasura vaakhyams describing this category of ajn~Anam are: " yaanE yennaiaRiyahilAthE ".

3. VIRODHI VISHAYA AJN~AANAM : SatakOpan's aruLiccheyal vaakyams in this context are : " Odiya muzhanRum uyirkaLE konREn uNarvilEn "

4. UPAAYA VISHAYA AJN~AANAM: Lack of knowledge about the means is referred to here . PaarAnkusA's blessed words are: " piRavi nOyh aRuppAnENilEnirunthEn " .

5. PURUSHAARTHA VISHAYA AJN~AANAM: Here the reference is to the wrong kind of knowledge that leads one astray and results in not eulogizing the SaraNYan . AzhwAr's anguish is expressed as : " Azhiyankai ammAnai yEthtAthayartthu " .

The artha pancha ajn~nam results from the rajO and tamO guNAs. GeethAchAryan has elaborated on them in His instructions to ArjunA in the SamsAric battle field of KurukshEthram. The dominance of Satthva guNam leads to Jn~Anam characterized by its pentad.

JN~ATHAVYA JN~AANA PANCHAKAMS *******************************************

NammAzhwAr instructs through his prabhandhams , the five branches of Jn~Anam that should be known by the seekers of liberation from the samsAric terrors.

1. PARASVAROOPA JN~AANAM: the abhyAsam ( ways of practice) to recognize Him as being seated in one's heart cavity ( " ninnai nenjil uyyum vahai uNarnthEn " ).

2. AATHMA SVAROOPA JN~AANAM: The development of discriminating knowledge to know the nature of that , which is seated in one's heart cavity as antharyAmi brahmam ( " ninRa onRai uNarnthEnukku " ).

3. VIRODHI VISHAYA JN~AANAM : An understanding of the enemies that stand in the way of aathma svarUpa jn~Anam , the chathrus or VirOdhis and an understanding of them is referred to here . AzhwAr's words are : " ahaRRa nee vaittha maayavallaimpulankaLAmavai nankaRinthanan ". When this knowledge is possessed by the prapannan , then he fully comprehends the nature of the five senses that drag him away from Bhagavadh Vishayam .

8

4.UPAAYA VISHAYA JN~AANAM : The knowledge of the means to avoid the cycles of births and deaths through the practise of Bhakthi yOgam or Prapatthi yOgam . The prayer for knowledge of the means to avoid rebirth is couched in AzhwAr's moving words: " iruL tarumaa gyAlatthuL inippiRavi vEndAm " .

5. PURUSHAARTHA VISHAYA JN~AANAM : The right knowledge that it is throughb His KrupA that we become blessed and the mahA visvAsam in Him as the never-failing savior is referred to here . AzhwAr's word-clue is : " avanathu aruLAl uRal poruttu yennuNarvinuLLE irutthinEn " .

The predominance of satthva guNa prAchuryam leads to the blessed state of acquisition of Jaathavya panchaka jn~Anam through performing SaraNAgathi under a qualified AchAryA . This way, one gets the katAksham of Madhusoodhanan at the time of birth ( jaayamAna kaala katAksham ) and becomes imbued with Satthva svarUpam and becomes mumukshu .

TWO KINDS OF SAMBHANDHAM ************************************

One is achith sambhandham and the other is NaarAyaNa sambhandham . The former produces haani and danger by invoving us in the afflictions of samsAram . The latter ( NaarAyaNa Sambhandham ) showers us with auspiciousness that are lasting and underlines our unchangable relationship to our Lord ( " ThirumAlE naanumunakku pazhavadiyEN ") and leads to Moksham .

The two categories of people , who overcome the ajn~nams and become enriched with the five kinds of Jn~Anams are: (1) karma khAnda nishtars and (2) BhagavathAs/Thondars . They are called alternatively as anthaNar maRayOrkaL and adiyAr thondarkaL/saara vitthukkaL .

The anthaNar maRayOr is saluted by AzhwAr as , " theeyOmpu kaimmaRayAr , thuNai nool maarvinanthaNar" . The NaarAyaNa paarAyaNAs or the Thiru nAraNan thondars are called Koyilil vaazhum VaishNavan or " aNi aranganThirumuRRatthu adiyAr , Thiru NaaraNan thondar " .

NammAzhwAr describes himself as the Thiru NaaraNan murratthu adiyaar .The thirst for KaNNan ( KrishNa thrushNA ) of SatakOpan is saluted by Parasara Bhattar this way : " rishim jushAmahE KrishNa thrushNatattvamivOdhitham " . Using the Vedic analogy , ParAsara Bhattar compares NammAzhwAr , the Rishi doing yaj~nam as the embodiment of Bhagavadh prEmai in his Sri RangarAja sthavam .

NammAzhwAr and AchArya Hrudhayam *************************************

NammAzhwAr is the VaguLa bhUshaNa bhasakarOdhayam in the words of the AchAryA ,who blessed us with AchArya Hrudhayam . He is the sunrise that dispels ajn~nam and nourishes the artha panchaka jn~Anam in us through his aruLiccheyalkaL . He is our pramAthA . His birth was hinted by SukAchAryA in Bhaagavatham through his never -failing words as a Rishi ( Aarsha pramANam ) . He said that in kali yugam , several NaarAyaNa paarAyaNAL will incarnate onthe banks of TamraparaNee river , KruthamAlA river, Payasvinee river , CauvEry river and MahA nadhi in Dramida dEsam . The birth of NammAzhwAr at ThirukkuruhUr on the banks of Taamraparanee river is alluded to here .

The salutations of AchArya Hrudhaya grantha karthA ************************************************* This great pramAthA ( NammAzhwAr ) , who used pramANam ( saasthrAs ) to establish the supremacy of Sriman NaarAyaNA as pramEyam ( the one to be understood as the jagadh kaaraNam ,RakshaNamm and SamhAram ) .

The exact words in AchArya Hrudhayam are: "SataraiOtti mathAvaliptharkku ankusamittu , nadAviya kooRRamAi " ninRavar SatakOPar. These words break into following four subdivisions :

1.SataraiOtti (2) Mathavaliptharkku (3) ankusamittu and (4) nadAviya kUrramAi .

He is SatakOpar , one who angrily drove away the sata vaayu or Satars , who engaged in propagating darsanams of their own , which used sushka tarkams that wont stand up before the parathvam of Sriman naarAyaNA. Therefore ,

9

he engaged in the relentless effort to set things straight and drove away kudhrushtis /Satars from propagating ajn~Ana panchakam . This is the meaning of "SataraiOtti " , which SatakOpa stands for .

Mathavaliptharkku and ankusamittu : Being ParAnkusA , he controlled the rampaging elephants running around causing destruction thru their spread of vipareetha Jn~Anam with the use of ankusam (goad ).

nadAviya kooRRamAi : He was the mrthyu ( kooRRam or samhAra mUrthy ) to the samsAric afflictions of chEthanAs , who was in the range of his eye sight or those who read his prabhandhams and declared , " tvadh paadha mUlam saraNam prapadhyE " in recognition of him as the divya PaadhukhA of the Lord .

I will continue with the VislEsham and samslEsham moods of NammAzhwAr in this posting.

SamslEsham and VislEsham as Bhagavad anubhavam **************************************************

The prathyaksha tulya maanasAnusandhAnam is samslEsham. This is equivalent to being with the Lord and union with Him as His beloved. When AzhwAr does not get the boon of union with the Lord , he is totally dejected . He cries out in a heart-rending way . This is VislEsham .

In chUrNikai 118, AchArya Hrusdhaya SoothrakArar describes the two moods of AzhwAr and connects them to the feeling state behind them this way :

jn~Anatthil tamm pEcchu , prEmatthil peNN pEcchu

In Jn~Ana dasai , AzhwAr is in full control of himself and speaks as himself ; In prEma dasai (state) , he is totally out of control with the feelings of separation and hopelessness and he assumes the role of a woman deeply in love with the Lord , who has abandoned her .AzhwAr becomes ParAnkusa Naayaki .

In both states ( samslEsham and VislEsham ) , the clear speech associated with samslEsham and the agitated speech linked with vislEsham , the sEshathva prakAsamaana anjali does not change . AzhwAr's hands are folded in anjali mudrA in recogniotion of his relationship to the Lord as a sEshan to the Sarva sEshi . This unchanged bhakthi of AzhwAr is described as : " tERiyum . tERAthum MaayOn tiratthinaLE itthiruvE " .This beautiful girl has the same measure of devotion to her Lord , whether she is composed from the experience of union with Him or agitated during the experience of separation from Him .

For instance ,in the Thiruvaimozhi Pasuram (2.1.10), AzhwAr describes his immense suffering over separation from the Lord this way :

" Oh, my supreme Lord ! Oh the first among all Gods ! Why wont You show me Your bewitching countenance ? My uncontrollable passion for You burns and burns without an end in contrast to the common material , which stop burning , when their fuel source is exhausted. Alas ! here, my soul burns and burns in an unparalleled mannner .This burning process seems to kick my soul outside of my body . What is the rason for submitting me to this level of torture ? Oh Lord of many victories ! Please rush to my (suffering ) side at once and take me in Your comforting arms. I have grown far too exhausted to bear this separation any more ".

In his prEma dasai , AzhwAr takes on the role of Naayaki and talks like a hurt beloved over the neglect of her Lord. Nayaki is clearly agitated.

In the happy state of union with her Lord , ParAnkusa-Naayaki joyously celebrates her happy mood this way . The paasuram is 2.5.1 of Thiruvaimozhi and has been enjoyed particularly by ALavandhAr and RaamAnuja :

" Oh , What a wonder ! My Lord has come to me now surrounded by all His nithya sUris to keep me in His company . Oh , What a Bliss ! He has out of His infinite compassion come to me , who is totally undeserving of this honor. He seems to say that I too deserve Him . He is indeed sarvEsvaran . Oh , What a beauty ! I am enjoying His bewitching form bedecked with the radiant white conch , the blazingly effulgent chakram ,the shining sacred thread , the rathna haaram , the vanamAlai , the splendid crown . Even the nithya sUris , who are always next to him look more radiant

10

now , perhaps reflecting the great joy of their Lord arising from His union with me. That is how I interpret this unusual radiance of my Lord .He was looking famished prior to union with a passionate one like me . Without the union with me (parama bhakthai), He was withering away . He has now gained a special sparkle .All His abharaNams have become jaajvalyam now . Now I am taking in the beauty of His lotus-soft eyes , soft red lips , lotus-like feet and the whole body of golden complexion . I have now gained a unique and unparalleled joyous experience from this union.

SoorNikai 120 of AchArya Hrudhayam *********************************** This SoorNikai is as follows :

" adiyOm thodarnthu kuRREval , adichciyOmadikkeezhk kuRREvalAhai avasthAntharam "

The first half of the above sUrNikai is the speech from Jn~anam born out of SamslEsham and is of the form of a masculine speech . The second half is that of a woman , who out of unrequitted love is agitated and speaks in the voice of a disappointed lover . The soothrakAra describes this latter state as avasthAntharam .

EmperumAn's aprAkrutha divya vigraham ( the divine form beyond the elements of nature ) destroyed the masculinity of the AzhwAr and transformed him into an emotionally involved woman (ParAnkusa Naayaki). That aprAkrutha ThirumEni of the Lord has been described as being surrounded by the worshipping nithya sUris and in the center of a flood of effulgence: " kuzhumit thevar kuzhAngaL kai thozhac chOthi veLLatthinuLLE yezhuvathOruru " .The flood of prEmA of NammAzhwAr flowed towards that radiant presence of the Lord just as the ordinary floods hasten towards their home , the ocean . AzhwAr's prEmai flowed both in the maculine and femenine form to the Lord and mingled with it.

Friends , Mother and the Naayaki: their stats of mind ************************************************

The samslEsha-VislEsha anubhavams of NammAzhwAr are cast as paasurams sung by the friends of ParAnkusa Naayaki, her concerned mother or by her lamenting self. In sUrNikai 133, the sUtrakAra of Acharya Hrudhayam gives us an explanation of the relative roles of ParAnkusa Naayaki with her mother and friends :

" sambhandhOpAya palangaLil uNartthi , tuNivu pathaRRamAhiRa parajn~AvasthaikaLukkut thOzhi , thAyAr , mahaL yenru pEr "

Reason for the paasurams thru the mouth of ThOzhi *************************************************

The ThOzhi is the one , who intercedes and unites the nAyakan and nAyaki (the ParamAthmA and the jeevAthmA). In Thirumanthiram (mUla manthram) , praNavam denoting ananyArha sEshathvAdhi sambhandha jn~Anam is the reason (hEthu) for the union and that prajn~Avasthai came forth as the paasurams uttered by the mouth of the ThOzhi .

Reason for the paasurams of the Mother *************************************

The prajn~AvasthA in response to the flight of the daughter due to her (daughter's) firm belief in upAyam to abandon her mother's home to travel to her nAyakan's home is the basis of the mother's paasurams . The thuNivu ( determination ) of her little daughter to run away leaving the comfort of the hearth and home to an uncertain future with some one she(mother ) does not yet trust pains her. The nAyaka prAvaNyam , which makes her daughter run away instead of patiently waiting for Him to show up upsets the mother and she tries to calm down the agitation of the love-lorn daughter . She reminds the daughter of kula maryAdhai. She reminds the daughter that in the SiddhOpAyam of union with the Lord , calmnes is needed and presses on upAyathAvasAyam as an essential ingredient . That prajn~AvasthA (state of consciousness) of the mothercomes out as her paasurams restraining her daughter in a state of concern and affection. The Nama: padham of mUla manthram takes on the role of the Mother just as the PraNavam took on the role of ThOzhi .

11

The Naayaki's paasurams and NArAyaNa padham **********************************************

The daughter ( naayaki ) does not worry too much about what others might say ( kula maryAdhai ) in her state of immense agitation over the union with her Lord . Her dvarai ( impatience and hurry ) to unite with her lord and enjoy his anantha kalyANa guNAs ( vailakshaNyam ) drives her and in that prajn~AvasthA , she can not hold on to her life any more. The prApya dvarai of the nAyaki pours out as her paasurams . She places these paasurams at the lotus feet of her Lord and begs for His grace to bless her with His union . He is NaarAyaNan ( the last or charama sabdham of mUla Manthram ) and he is the one qulaified by praNava (sEshithva svarUpam ) and nama: sabdham (saraNyathva svarUpam) . He is the Onewith the svarUpa , guNa vibhUthis (attributes ) implied by NaarAyaNa sabdham . Like an arrow leaving the bow , nAyaki hastens towards the target of Sriman NaarAYaNan with her paasurams .

AdiyEn ParAnkusa Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri SadagOpan

P.S: I will come back to the Thiruviruttham paasurams of NammAzhwAr after a special kaimkaryam to Sri RanganAthA . The RathnAngi for Sri Ponnappan , the MaaNickka Kondai/Maragatha KiLi/golden jata kothsu kaimkaryam for Sri Bhumi Devi and the Mutthangis for the uthsavar divya dampathis of Oppilaippan KOil celebrated by NammAzhwAr's saraNAgathi has now been completed with your particpation .I have no more requests to make to you on behalf of Kaimkaryam for Sri Oppiliappan .

My only prayer is that you all be blessed with the darsanam of the aprAkrutha divya vigraham of the SaraNya dampathis at Oppiliappan Koil. Please stay at my home in the Sannadhi street of Oppilaippan Koil during your visits. The name of my home is " SatakOpa Bhavanam ".

I have got only ONE kiamkaryam that I want to get involved in my life for a very special and sacred reason . That is the Kaimkaryam of realizing the construction of the Temple for Sri RanganAthA and Sri RanganAyaki at Pomona , New York . Sri Anand wrote recently about his unique and moving anubhavam of BhUmi pUjA for the construction of that special temple modeled in every way after the holy temple in Srirangam.

A great Bhaagavatha , Dr.Venkat Kanumalla has lived every moment of his life to realize that dream come true . A group of Sri RanganAtha PrEmis have contributed time and money to bring the kaimkaryam to the half way mark . The prANa prathishtai for the vigrahams have been done by parama padavaasi , His Holiness , the 44th Jeeyar of AhObila Mutt.

The murthys of Srirangam ( periya PerumAL ) is the kula dhanam for every one of us . AzhwArs have poured out their hearts over the mahimai of Sri Ranganathan . Our AchAryAs have rooted themselves in Srirangam to be near Him and serve Him and His divine consort . The saraNAgathi Gadhyam was born there . Many miracles have happened to keep our sampradhAyam alive .

I plan to write a series of articles in the Bhakthi list about the greatness of Srirangam and the SaraNya dampathis there .

Although we have many kaimkaryams to support , this particular one is very special and immediate one . Dr.Venkat Kanumalla will describe the status of the Kaimkaryam and seek your most valued help .

Please , Please help to the best of your ability . Sri RanganAthA's blessing will always be with you and your family . I will post a similar appeal in SaraNAgathi jouranl so that additional bhakthAs could be made aware of the urgent need for their support to this unique and special temple under construction for the Sesha sAyee on the banks of the Hudson river in New York .

DHARMA STHOTHRAM

Part 214.

Rituh,Sudarsanah In Thirumala hills, while waiting for Darsan of Sri Srinivasa (,Sri Venkateswara,Sri Balaji,) and in many namas of Sriman Narayana, in Sri Vaikuntam complex, all devotees just started uttering Govinda namas only. Observing this ,a devotee then . advised them to tell the name of Srinivasa along with Govinda. He said Sri Maha Lakshmi Thayar is also present in the name of Srinivasa. Sri denotes, Sri Maha Lakshmi and Srinivasa is one who resides with Sri Maha Lakshmi always. When we chant Srinivasa we are sure to get the recommendations of Sri Padmavathi Thayar to get the blessings from Sri Thiruvenkatamudaiyan. In Swamy Vedantha Desikans 8

th sloka Sri Sthuthi, Laksmi Padma jalathi

dhanaya Vishnu pathnithrithethi indicates worshipping of various namas of Sri Maha Lakshmi. It is said ,. when one consider the namas as a gift from the Vedas and chant sincerely ,he will be relieved from all sins and can easily escape from just enjoying the worldly material pleasures. Sri Maha Laksmi is ever present in His chest(Vakshasthalam ) ,and so we call and worship Sri Maha Lakshmi as Eswari . In this Sri Sthuthi 23 rd sthothra Maatha devi tvamasi bagawan Vasudeva pithame , it is suggested to consider Sriman Narayana as our father and sri Maha Lakshmi as our mother . All need to utter both the namas of Sri Maha Vishnu and Sri Maha Lakshmi.. Sriyapathi,Srimaan,Srimathi all indicates the Divine

35

consorts. when we offer salutations in temples we pray only as Sri Maha Lakshmi sametha Sri Maha vishnave namaha. Similarly chanting both the names of Sri Padmavathi with .Sriman Narayana is ever sure to get easy darsan and to get all sorts of happiness in the world with the grace of divine Divya thampathisss. Now on Dharma Sthothram.

The next sloka in Sri Vishnu sahasranamam is rituh sudarsanahkaalah parameshthee parigrahah/ ugrah samvatsaro daksho visraamo visva-dakshinah//

In 416thnama Rituh it is meant as one who is of the nature of time or kaala. Sriman Narayana is one who

governs the seasons. He gets into the hearts of all with His successive waves of His supreme qualities which are unique and highly delightful. In Irandam Thiruvanthathi, Boothathazhwar says as pagal kanden he was able to find Sriman Narayana as full daytime without any nights. He meant as He is ever shining as sun.,and all the time is ever glittering for us. In Nammazhwars Periya Thiruvanthathi, Paar undan paar umizhndan ,it is said as Sriman Narayana saved us in deluge by swallowing the universe. Then He released to save us . Again in varaha oncarnation, He shifted the universe in the top. In Thiruvikrama incarnation, He measured the earth with His foot. He only created the universe in the beginning. He is present in all the worlds at all times. Vedas declare that He is one and all in the universe in all times . Such glories of time prominence are only with sriman Narayana . While praying Sriman Narayana to bring us good time for ever, this sloka in mangalam of all prayers is chanted. Kale varshathu parjanya Prathuwee sasyasalini , Desoyam Kshobha rahitha sajjana santhu nirbhaya. This means Let the monsoon be timely and plentiful, Let earth be covered with vegetation ,Let the country live without problems ,And let good people never have fear.. Thus Rituh nama make all the time as ever peaceful

In 417th nama Sudarsanah ,it is meant as One who is easy to be perceived when one seeks with sincere

devotion. Meeting Him is auspicious as all the worldly worries are removed .Sudarsana is literally said to be auspicious vision, as "Su" means Divine and auspicious and Darshana means "Vision. We worship Sri Sudarshanazhwar or chakkarathazhwar , to help us to clear the difficult path to attain Sriman Narayana. Sudarsana is the disc(,Chakram) of Sriman Narayana . Sudarana chakra is only the protector of dharma and is always concerned with annihilating the demons, and is just like an inauspicious comet for all demons.

Sriman Narayana is one whose vision bestows the most auspicious benefit of eternity. He can be easily seen by all devotees and is described as His eyes are long and pure as the petals of lotus flowers. His delightful appearance induces happiness to all. In Srimad Ramayanam it is said as Like the moon Sri Rama had a delightful form. In Thiruvaimozhi 3.1.2 Nammazhwar says Even comparing lotus to His eyes,feet or arms. Is not correct. Also, His face is more than glittering gold and lotus. All comparisons are just our limited power of imagination and knowledge. In Gita(7.3) it is said as it is very difficult to know Him fully Out of many thousands ,one may endeavor for perfection ,and of those who achieved perfection hardly one knows Him as Kascin maam vetti tattvatah .Thus Sudarsana nama indicates the appearance and easy accessibility of Sriman Narayana.Swamy Desikans Sri Sudarsana Ashtagam ,if chanted often is sure to get much bliss. Jaya Jaya Sri Sudarsana, Jaya Jaya Sri Sudarsana ..

Thirupavai.

Sow. Bhargavi( Swetha ) & Smt.

VijayalakshmiSundaram.

Thirupavai Pasuram 25.

Guruvayurapan in Nirmalya Seva at Guruvayur

42

This pasuram shows us how to interpret the advaita shruthis. Nachiar says that Perumal was born to one woman and

on one night He was adopted as the son of one woman. Per grammar, she should have said that, born to one

woman and raised by another woman but Nachiar says born to one woman and raised by one woman. The one

used in this pasuram means unique and not the quantity one.

The Upanishads say that Perumal is ekameva advithiyam. That is there is only one God and there is no one else

like Him. This statement shouldnt be interpreted as He is the only one who exists and we are all false since from our

day to day experience we can see many different people, animals and birds. Hence it is incorrect to say that all the

people we see to be existing are fictitious and only Brhamam is true. The word ekameva does not imply quantity

one but states that He is the only Supreme Being; He is unique and there is no one who is equal to Him. Adi

Sankaracharyar also explained this statement to mean unique in his commentaries for Chandogya Upanishad.

Swami Alavandar said that if a poet praised a King by saying that He is the only one and there is no one like him it

means that the King is unique. It does not mean that everyone else other than the king including the queen, the poet,

the guard and the people are non-existent.

Nachiar uses the word oruthi to show the uniqueness of both Devaki and Yashoda. Devaki is unique because she

prayed to obtain the Supreme Brhamam as her son and she achieved this feat. Swami Vedanta Desikan has said

43

that the One in whom the entire universe exists came to reside in the womb of Devaki! Swami Vedanta Desikan

describes the uniqueness of Devaki when she dreamt about sleeping on Adi Sesha or flying on Garuda which are not

normal dreams of a mother.

devakigarbhagantham bhagavanthamprthak paricharithum anishtvaa

seshaadhayah devakeesthathvaveshenaiva paricharantheeva

Yashoda is unique as well because even though she didnt give birth to the Supreme Brahmam, she enjoyed Him as

her son and raised Him with joy. She spent more time raising the divine child and she witnessed His childhood

pranks.

Nachiar describes the night on which Lord Krishna incarnated as unique by saying oru iravil. The night was unique

because the Supreme Being incarnated as Lord Krishna. On that night the Rishis could recollect even the Vedic

verses they had forgotten with ease because everyone was blessed by Perumals grace. Usually the night with the

ascending star Rohini was known as Jayanthi even prior to the Lords incarnation but after the incarnation of

Krishna Jayanthi came to mean only Krishna Jayanthi and all other Jayanthis required a prefix like Vamana

Jayanthi, Narasimha Jayanthi etc.

Swami Vedanta Desikan has composed 69 slokams in Yadhavabudhayam to describe the uniqueness of the night.

Nachiar then describes the way in which Perumal concealed His divinity. Though this was a Vibhava avataram,

Perumal concealed Himself like Antaryami and Hid in Gokulam. To please Devaki, He revealed only two of His arms

to everyone till the time when Kamsa was killed by Him. Even though Paramatma Himself incarnated, His naming

ceremony was carried out in secrecy in the cow shed by Rishi Gargar.

The Lord never wanted to harm Kamsa but it was Kamsa who was constantly thinking about ways to harm Perumal.

Lord Rama during Ramavataram mentioned the story of a pigeon which jumped into the fire to feed the hunter who

had captured its mate just because the hunter sought refuge under the tree the pigeon lived. Like the pigeon,

Perumal is ready to give Himself to us even when we try to harm Him like the hunter who harmed the pigeon.

Perumal exists as the digestive fire in everyones stomach to help us digest food. As Andal Nachiar called Perumal as

maal because Perumal loves all the jeevatmas and doesnt even see the defect of a jeevatma when it approaches

Him.

Perumal was moved when He heard Nachiars pasuram. He asked, what do you need?

44

Nachiar replied that, we need you! If you give yourself to us, we will sing that your property equals that of Pirattis

properties since if you refuse to give yourself to us, Piratti will not even look in your direction!

Perumal asked the girls, arent you feeling tired as you had been singing since very early in the morning?

We feel refreshed because we have been singing your praise! We have nothing to worry because you are there to

save us. Similarly you need not worry as well.

I dont have any worries

But You do worry! You told arjuna that you constantly worry because jeevatmas dont seek refuge under your feet.

As we have come to you, you need not worry about this anymore!

Alternate Meaning:

Oruthi magnai piranthu is Ashtaksharam and oruthi maganai valarnu is Dwayam. Our Acharyans mother is

Ashtaksharam and even though they are born in the dark samsara known as night they are raised by the mother

called Dwayam. Thus they are not lost in the dark samsara. The Acharyans conceal their greatness and refrain from

performing miracles to cure their devotees problems as such miracles are very dangerous as they pull both the

Acharyans and the disciples into samsara. Even though they have siddhi, they refrain from performing miracles. They

know that each one of us must endure the fruit of our sins in order to dissolve all our sins so that we can reach

Perumal.

Kanchan refers to kali Yugam. The Kali Purushan causes trouble for all those people who try to lead a righteous life

during kali Yugam. As Perumal has promised kali that people will be bad during this age, Kali torments the people on

good path to force them to behave badly. Even though Kali torments, our Acharyans do not give in to Kali and make

the area they exist part of Krita Yugam.

Once there was a Swami called Sakshat Swami. He used to get up very early to take his holy dip in Cauvery at Sri

Rangam. Once a mischief maker saw Swami taking his dip and polluted the water around Swami just to tease him.

To the surprise of the mischief maker, swami left the spot in search of cleaner water without yelling at the mischief

maker. The mischief maker kept following swami to pollute the water and Swami kept going to cleaner water without

arguing. Finally the mischief maker asked swami why he never yelled at him. Swami answered that it was lord

Ranganathans sankalpam that Swami should take his dip at Cauvery during dawn. Lord Ranganathan as the

antaryami was also responsible for not preventing the mischief maker from polluting the water. Hence swami said that

45

when the Lord is responsible for troubling swami, he will not turn his disappointment towards the mischief maker. The

mischief maker fell at Swamis feet and accepted him as his Acharyan and acted as swamis body guard. The man

then offered his life savings to Swami. Swami refused to accept the money and asked the man to throw it into

Cauvery so that everyone could benefit. Upon enquiry with swamis disciples the man understood that Swami had

instructed him to renovate Ammamandapam so that people can use the steps leading into Cauvery to safely bathe.

Thus Acharyans turn the troublesome Kali yugam into glorious Krita yugam.

Copies of the CDs can be obtained from Sri Karunakaran Swamis website http://www.nadadoor.org/ . This series is

for the benefit of people who do not understand Tamil. Those of you who understand Tamil very well must definitely

obtain a copy of Swamis Upanyasam. You can do so by contacting Nadadoor.org. Swami also renders discourses in

English but we are not sure if Thiruppavai discourse is available in English. The experience of listening to Swamis

upanyasams could never be obtained by reading the following series. We have done our best to take notes with due

diligence. I apologize for any errors that I have made while writing this series.

SRI NARASIMHA DARSHANAM 203.

BY.Sri.JEGANNAATHAN.K.S.

GORUR BrahmA Sivasthvam PurushOtthamasccha NaarAyaNOsow maruthAm Pathisccha | ChandhrArka vaayvAgni MaruthgaNAsccha TvamEvatham tvaam Sathatham NathOsmi || This slokam is the essence of the Vedic Principle, Ucchishta or Ut-sista Brahmam that reveals the Lord as the final reality or the one that exists as the undecaying self, when all else is gone. He takes the form of all the Gods of many attributes and functions. Sri RamA recognizes Sri Narasimha BhagavAn as indweller of Brahma, SivA, Maruth DevAs, Vaayu, Moon, Sun, Agni and every divine principle. Sri RamaA says that He salutes that grandest of Grand principles, Sri NarasimhA as Ucchishta Brahmam and Aadhi Murthy (Moolam). This slOkam is of the essence of many passages of the VedAs. The echoes of this slOkam are heard in these illustrative Veda Manthrams: sarvE asmin dEvA eka vruthO bhavanthi (Atharvana Vedam XII.4.21) MEANING : The entire DevAs merge out and become one in Him alone. Rg Vedic Passages (RV .II .1.4, 1.6 and 1.7): You are the One known as Agni , King VaruNA , MitrA , AAryamaan or amsA.--- You are the Dravinodha (giver of wealth), deva, savithru, ratnadhaa (thestore of gems), bhaga (the effulgent) and nrupathi (the Lord of men) - Youare the one, whom seers call by various names, such as IndrA, MitrA,VaruNA, Agni, DivyA, SuparNA, GaruthmAn, YamA and Matarisvan. Yajur vedam salutes the supreme Lord as the one everlasting principle, even if He is saluted with different names:He alone is Agni, the same He is AdityA, the same one is known as Vaayu,and Chandramaa. He again is the same one known as SukrA, Brahman, Apaah or Prajaapathi.(Yajur Vedam: XXXII .1). Coutesy: http://www.sundarasimham.org/ebooks/ebook35.htm SriNrusimha Panchamrutam Slokam 4 Sri Para Vasudevar and Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple, Gorur This is known as Gokarna Kshetra , It is very old temple. There are two temples . One is Paravasudevar Temple and little further is Yoga Narasimha temple. It is Udbhavam Moorthy.

62

The moorthy of Narasimha is Facing West, because the Gokarna MahA Rishi did penance facing East. Because of Gokarna MahA Rishi this is known as Gokarna Kshetra. Hemavathi river is flowing near by. There is a beautiful Hemavathi Dam. There is a rare Paravasudevar temple. It is Vijaya Nagar period Temple. The main Festival is rathotsavam and also Narasimha Jayanthi. Almost everyday our Lord has Thirumanjanam, people from far and near flock to see this moorthy. The statue is also gigantic it is 8 feet in height.

The cost of Thirumanjanam is Rs.150/- only and thaligai as you wish. The Temple Timings are Daily Morning 9.00 Am to 12.00 Pm and Evening 5.30 Pm to 8.30 Pm. The Address of the Temple Sri Srikanth Bhattar, Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Gorur,Hassan,Karnataka,Pin:537 120, Tel:9448897223 or 08172-225631 Sri Vijayasarathi is the Convenor for the committee which oversees the rituals of temples and he can be reached on mobile# 9845671495

Ps: The Archakar stays next to Paravasudevar temple. In case you land up in odd hours he may help you for good darshan since he stays very close.

RIVAISHNAVISM

Ivargal Ti ruvaakku.

Garudas readiness to serve When the question arose who the Supreme One was, the Devas claimed the honour as theirs. Indra said that since he was the king of the Devas, he was the Paratva. Brahma felt that since he was the creator, he represented Paratva. It was Garuda who put a stop to these disputations saying: The one whom I carry around on my hands, is the Supreme One.

When the Lord battles Narakasura, Garuda joins in. When Satyabhama wants the Parijaata tree, it is Garuda who carries it on his back. When the elephant Gajendras foot is seized by the crocodile, the elephant tries his best to extricate himself, and when he is unable to, he calls out to Lord Narayana for help. The Lord is anxious to rush to the elephants help. Garuda insists that he will take the Lord to the elephants side, because only then the elephant will feel assured that the One who has come is indeed the Lord. Thus Garuda is always anxious to serve the Lord and to establish His Paratva, said Kidambi Narayanan in a discourse. The Lord, anxious to rescue Gajendra, presses down on Garuda with His foot, urging him to move faster. Thus it is Garuda who brings the Lord to help those who call out to Him in distress.

Garuda is the embodiment of the Vedas. He is the vaahana of the Lord in the Nitya Vibhuti and in the Leela Vibhuti. He is also called Suparna, because of the beauty of his wings. He is the king among birds (Pakshiraja). When Rama and Lakshmana are hit by the naga pasam, it is Garuda who brings them out of their daze. Periazhvar, Andals foster father, was born the amsa of Garuda. At Theruzhundur divya desam, Garuda is seen standing very close to the Lord. At Ahobilam, Garudas penance earned for him a darshan of Lord Narasimha as Jwala Narasimha.

Swami Nammazhvar composed verses imagining himself as Parankusa Nayaki, a girl in love with the Lord and pining for Him. In one verse, he accuses Garuda of not allowing the Lord to be by the side of Parankusa Nayaki, but hurrying Him on His way. Later, when the Lord is beside Parankusa Nayaki, Swami Nammazhvar praises the same Garuda for having brought the Lord to her side. Thus it is Garuda who takes the Lord to wherever He wants to go.
