Periyazhwar pasuram

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatottamaals,

This is madhavan from Sinagpore. I would like to start sharing the little I

know/heard of and it is NOTHING compared to those of stalwarts in this

group; But I consider myself elated to be present in this group to gain

access to Sri vaishanavaas.

 

The following periyazhwaar pasuram was once narrated by Sri Krishna premi

in Srirangam( who lives in the same street where we stay). His upanyasam on

any topic and on any sloka/pasuram generally bring tears rolling down the

cheeks.

 

Siruviral Thadavi parimaRa

SenkaN Koda Seyyavai Koppulippa

KuRuvayirppuruvam koodilippa

Govindan Kuzhal kondu oodhinapodhu

Paravaiyin KanangaL koodu thurandhu

vandhu soozhndhu padukadu kidappa

Karavaiyin kanaNgaL Kal paRappittu

KavizhndhiraNgi Seviyattagillave.

 

Meaning: (as much as I recollect)

 

When Govindan strokes and distributes through His small lovely fingers over

His flute and plays music, (how? - SenkaN koda Seyyavai Koppulippa- The

Lotus eyes strain and the Lotus coral lips blow the air- How great it will

be to witness those Beautiful lotus eyes and the( Kuvindha) Coral lips! -

Kuravayirppuruvam Koodilippa - the little sweaty eye brows slightly narrow

down as if they are trying to touch each other due to the effort he takes

for playing the flute)

 

When such a lovely divine music flows from the Almighty Himeself,

the Birds leave their nests and approach the Lord to come near Him (to

listen) and lie dead so that no disturbance is caused even by their wings;

and

the Cows and Calves (some of them are half way eating the grass- some of

them had already eaten but didnot chew; some just lowered to eat the grass

but freezed and all of them thus stopped in the middle in order not to let

their eating or munching sound disrupt them to hear the Divine music- How

true! Even we donot move our jaws and munch when we watch and hear an

important or good programme on TV- We can imagine their ecstasy when given

an opportunity to hear Venugopalan's Karnaamrutham.) The cows and calves

did not, no, COULD NOT even shake thier ears, it appears.

(Seviyaatagillave!)

 

How much Periyazhwaar has enjoyed and even an ordinary girl brought up by

such a Bhaktaa will fall in love with this Hero; No wonder our

Bhoomipiratti fell for Him.

 

Now after describing all this, Sri Krishna Premi added " The Lord who has

created the Universe, the Vedas and the arts and the Music as well - Should

he strain for playing the flute - why should the eyebrows narrow and sweat

appear on his face?- NO. That is NOT the reason; It is due to Lord's

looking and viewing a much farther span of distance to check for His Heart

throb Radha's arrival. Cows and Calves have come; Bird have come- Where is

my beloved Radha ? and Hence, Gentle sweating and narrowing down of

eyebrows;"

 

Think of this scene an excellent evening witha gentle breeze ; in a

Beautiful Garden with lots of flowers and a pond; with birds and cattle as

described above; and In the middle the blue hued Lotus eyed, Coral lipped

majestic Lord Krishna- and eagerly awaiting for His beloved and playing His

flute while He waits;

 

Stopping here wih no further keyboard noise ; else it will disturb the

rich scene which you are enjoying;

I think pasuram is great and particularly the rendering of Sri Krishna

Premi Maharaj is excellent. I found that when I was in India, his

cassettes on Bhagavatham, Ramayana, Bhagawadgita are all on sale. each of

them are a set of about 30-40 cassettes. I have several of them but I

would like to get all of his collections someday soon.

 

I heard from Yajnanarayana Diksitar, who is currently Dallas texas in a

temple, who incidentally, is the brother's son of great Sengalipuram

Anantharama Diksitar :

 

that, Sri Krishna Premi Maharaj had hardly strained himself to learn the

Sastras, and that his erudition was a clear gift blessed to him by a Saint

who lived in Sengalipuram under whom he studied for a short while. Sri

Krishna Premi Maharaj used to be a master orator even in his 30's and most

of his rich renditions havent even been taped! and the ones available now

are not to his previous standards. Even these tapes are excellent; what

can we say of the previous lectures. Then he moved to paranur, it seems.

I would like to know more about Sri Krishna Premi if some one knows more.
