Poygai aazhwaar

[Guest guest]

Sri Boomi dEvi Sri Oppiliappan thiruvadikaLE saraNam

 

The day before yesterday was poygai aazwaar's thirunakshathram ie sravanam.

pEyaazhwaar is avittam the next day and boothaazhwaar's is sathayam the next

day. These saints are also the incarnations of Sri Gathaaa, Sri saarngaa, and

Sri changu in the same order as they were evolved as weapons for the Lord. The

greatest of all the thing they jointly initiated is "Naalaayira Divya

prabandam" and the first song of these 4000 were offered to Sriman Naaraayanan

Himself in his presence directly starting as " vaiyamE thagaliyaa..., from

muthal thirvanthaathi (100 songs) and irandaam thriuvandaathi and moonraaam

thiruvanthaathi by the three azwaars respectively in the same order of thier

incarnations at thiruk kOviloor. There is no other literature present or known

that was directly offered tro the LORD in his direct physical presence in this

boolOgam.

 

The one other interesting aspect of this is the moola moorthy of that

skekthram is perumaal in thiruvikrama avathaaram. There is a saivite shekthram

just a little away from this place (10 miles) is thiruvannaamalai where saint

Ramana maharishi and others took refuge to Lord shiva in the eternal light or

Annaamlai deepam form. Preceding this history, Lord Vishnu first appeard as the

brightest eternal light as described by the first of 4000's song "vaiyamE

thagaliyaa" at this sannathi in thiruk koviloor and later also as the spiritual

light in their hearts as per the first song of iraNdaam thirvanthaathi starting

as "anbE thagaLiyaa ... at Thirukoviloor. The reference to physical realisation

of eternal light from both siavite and vaishnavite tradition occured here in

this neighborhood.

There are several other citations on jothi in 4000.
