thiruppaavai

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhaagavathaas,

 

Thiruppaavai has 4 major vyakhyaanms written on it -

moovayirappadi (3000ppadi) by periyavachchaan piLLai

aaraayirappadi (6000ppadi ) by azhagiya maNavaaLap perumaaL naayanaar

eeraayirappadi and nalaayirappadi (2000ppadi, 4000ppadi) by aay

jananyachaariaar.

 

In addition to that, numerous aachaaryaas have written svaapadEsha

vyaakhyaanams on thiruppaavai.

(aay jananyaachaariaar - 4000ppadi svaapadEsa vyaakhyaanam, the first

vaanamaamalai jeeyar's svaapadEsha vyaakhyaanam etc..)

 

We will quote directly *some* salient portions of the above vyaakhyanams.

We do not plan to write about all the 30 paasurams in detail, or in summary.

All we are trying to do, (even though we are in no way qualified to do these

things) is to bring out the SV sampradaayam to those who are not lucky enough

to have the vyaakhyaams.

 

In addition to the vyaakhyaaams, we are going to quote directly from the

thiruppaavai upanyaasams of the current aachaaryaas. If all we do in the

next few weeks is to quote from those upanyaasams, then that in itself will

be a worthwhile endeavour.

 

We hope that you all will bear with our going beyond our limitations and

our being unqualified to even touch these vyaakhyaanams. Our only goal is

to bring out these vyaakhyaanams and upanyaasams to the bhakti group so

that bhaagavathaas that are not fortunate enough to have them will get an

opportunity to experience them. We hope that this will prompt all of us into

going back to our aachaaryaas for more upanyaasams. Ultimately, we hope

that our primary mode of learning will be directly listening to copies of the

upanyaasams of our aachaaryaas.

 

Aazhvaar emperumaanaar jeeyar thiruvadgaLE saranam,

 

Thirumalai Anandanpillai Varadhan
