Thiruvaaimozhi 1.5 -The Greatness of Thirumaal

[Guest guest]

Dear ones,

I do not know whether you received this which I posted on last thursday; I

am resending it; If you hace already received 1.5, please ignore this and

delete

 

Sri:

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

These ten pasurams are about the Greatness of Sriman NarayaNan.

1. vaLam Ezh…ninaindhu naindhE…"The Lord of dEvAs, who is the Chief

primordial Lord of the Fertle Seven lOkAs, - I have been thinking of Him

and am longing for Him and melting. I am calling Him as "The Thief! Who

stole and hid the butter and even shined in that stealing profession, too!

". Further more, I will call Him as "Oh My Lord, the One who is Youthful

and hugged The Seven Oxen; and who came as the Lord of Nappinai- the one

who always wore the flower bud-like smile on her face!"

 

2. ninaindhu ninaindhu ….maayOnE…" Oh bhagawaanE!, the One, who always

makes me wonderstruck! The dEvAs and GnAnis and all other people keep

thinking of Your kalyANa GuNAs, and with trmendous affection and love ,

bhakthi for You, pay obeisance to You with garlands of scented flowers,

Holy waters for Your Holy bath (thirumanjanam), sughandha (Good smelling)

"saambhiraaNi" smoke to dry your divine body after bath, sandal, and

prostrate at Your Lotus Feet- with a thinking that You are just a Form,

Will that GnAnam not belittle Your Greatness, My Lord? (It will definitely)

(Sisters and brothers, it is to be interpreted that He is incomprehensible

and can NOT be just considered as ONE FORM.- It is not to talk less of

BhaagavathaaLs' Bhakthi for Him but to talk more of Lord's Greatness)

 

3. maa yOnigaLaai…Or uruvanE…"You, who is My Lord, is the One who created

Brahmaa saying "Go and created the dEvAs (who are blessed with such

births), rishis, and all other beings" and gave brahmaa such knowledge and

power to discharge his duties; You can NOT be reached with any amounts of

knowledge and intellect; You are the One who measured all directions with

Your Lotus Feet; You are the Mother for all kinds of sentient and

non-sentient beings; Such an emperumaan has taken a SIMPLE FORM and entered

into temples! What a Great sowlabhyan!"

 

4. thaan Or uruvE…vaikunthan emperumaanE…." Brahman, Rudran, Indran- He was

not one among such; He was the Only One; He has one Form; Without any cause

and effect, He was, as the Only One, as the Primordial One, became within

Him- Brahman, Rudran and Indran and such other dEvAs, Rishis and sentient

and non-sentient beings; - Like that He created all these and at the Cosmic

Cycle end (PraLaya kaalam, which also He Himself creates), and He

undertakes Yoga NithrA in that Ocean which He creates; He is the Most

Wonderful Lord; The incomprehensible Chief; Vaikunta Nathan; My Nathan;"

 

5. maan yEi nOkki…vinaiyanE…" You have reatined the ThirumagaL,

Mahalakshmi, the One who wears the Beautiful eyes similar to the deer,

adorning Your Chest; Hence, You are named the Great Thirunaamam of

"MADHAVAN". GovindhA, You aimed a round edged arrow at manthrai, the

hunch-backed lady (during RamamyaNa)! You have the Rich Colour of Blue

Sapphire Stone and appear as if the Entire Sky is illuminated by the Blue

Light; You should enable me, the Great Sinner, to get blessed to reach the

abode of Your LOTUS FEET, which bloom along with the Sweetest Honey in Them

as Beautiful Red Lotuses. Please make me reach Your Lotus Feet!"

 

6. vinaiyEn vinai theer….adiyEnE…." You are the Medicine for removing the

Disease of my sins for this incorrigible sinner; Oh Lord of dEvAs! Kesavaa!

Oh The Chief of shepherd boys! The One, who stupefies me with Your

wonderful kalyANa GuNAs! Madhavaa! The One, who pierced with just one arrow

the Seven "Acchaa" trees filled with lots of leaves! (Sri Raama pierced the

seven trees with just one arrow while being tested by Sugreevan) Sridharaa!

Oh Lord! The One who has Such Great Names! – Like that I, Your servant, am

just lamenting and weeping here for Your mercy!"

 

7. adiyEn siRiya GnAnatthan….ayarvu uNdE….I am a man with very small, poor

knowledge. The One- Who can NOT be known by EVEN Great knowledgeable

GnAnis;- who wears the cool, sugandha (Good) smelling Holy ThuLasi leaves'

maalai (Garland);- who has got the name "kaNNan"-, who makes us cross and

get rid of the samsaaric afflictions and the sareera sambhandham (bodily

relation) – (With my such Little poor knowledge) why am I yelling for Him?

Is there anything more foolish than this? (No)"

 

8. uNdaai ulaghu yEzh…..maayOnE…."Oh maayaavi! (The Magician!) You had

eaten the Seven lOkAs and retained them in Your stomach; Then You brought

them out and entered into the "silly" (aRpa) human body and ate the butter;

Is it because You had eaten the Universe before and there may be remains of

sand inside Your stomach which may cause You some "Phlegm" (wheezing) and

other stomach upsets, Did You take this "kutti kaNNan" form and eat butter

as medicine to digest that remaining sand?"

 

9. maayOm theeya….moorthiyai saarnthE…"The wicked, Gigantic, Big Cheater

loud mouthed bhoothanai was killed by The Purest Kid- You- Who has sucked

her poisonous milk along with her life- You are the unparalleled, Only Lord

of dEvAs, -You are the Beloved of ThirumagaL (Lakshmi)- You are The Mother

for all Beings; You are Everyone's God and My God, too- You became and

entered into The vigraham as archaavathaaram– I will go nearest to such

Vigraham-my Lord- and thereafter We will never separate from each other"

 

10. saarntha iru val vinaigaL…nedumaalE…Oh ThirumaalE! The One- who

destroys the past accrued "sins and virtues" and removes my "wrong

knowledge" about the Truth (vibhareetha gnAnam)! The One- who corrected me

and determined to let my mind think only of Him and make me reach the

"mOksha" lOkam which is being adorned by Him! The One- who is entirely

filled with the Divine (GnAna) light of intellect and is filled at all

places and all directions! The One- who becomes and is the Life of all

sentient and non-sentient beings! – He is that Thriumaal!"

 

11. maalE maayap perumaanE maa maayavanE…illai parivadhE…." ThirumaalE!

EmperummanE, The One who is capable of performing all kinds of wonders and

maayaa! – Like that the one who is yelling and getting maddened with the

thinking of The Lord, emperumaan- is our NammAzhwAr, the one who is the

Chief of Thirukkurugoor- His thousand pAsurams were appreciated and admired

by The Great Poets, singers, bhakthaaLs, and many others – Out of those

thousand- the person who reads these abpve mentioned ten pAsurams, NEVER

EVER GETS INTO ANY PROBLEMS OR WORRIES."

 

(Sisters and Brothers, These ten pasurams really, while writing these made

me choke with heavy throat and tearful eyes; Simple, pAsurams reflecting

AzhwAr's longing for the Lord as well as helplessness of his. – Dileepan

very aptly narrates such pAsurams quite nicely quoting the Gems from

various AzhwArs- Even though he started off such pAsurams after some

unpleasant posts- it is still blessing in disguise to make him write such

Great pAsurams; Elese we will be missing them; May be, it is worth getting

into such posts, if only it ends up in thses Great posts!)
