Guest guest Posted March 3, 1998 Report Share Posted March 3, 1998 SRI: Dearest Sisters and Brothers, Last decad of Thiruvaaimozhi, nammAzhwAr denounced the materialists and lambasted them. Now, azhwAr feels sorry and tries to convince them by narrating the sowlabhya nature of Sriman NarayaNan and His mercy in this decad 3.6. 1. The Most Beautiful Red-Lotus eyed Lord, My Emperumaan, saved and protected the seven worlds from danger during the end of cosmic cycle. He ate them and retained them in a corner of His stomach. Then, He enabled them to be created later. He also enabled all beings and non-beings., namely, the earth, the worlds, the dEvAs, Human beings, the plants, insects, animals, and so on to come to liveliness in their entirety. He also lived in all of them, while He chose also to stay st Parama padham like a swayam jOthi. He is the One who is in BrahmA and Sivan as an antharyaami and enabled them to discharge their duties of creating and destroying respectively. (You may wonder as to why AzhwAr wished to talk about His sowlabhya nature but narrating His parathvam on the contrary; But the fact is AzhwAr desires to praise His parathvam first and then talks about the sowlabhyam which will only add to His Great qualities. (If param lowers Himself, it becomes an additional kalyANa guNA)) 2. Emperumaan is the cause and antharyaami of Brahman, Sivan and Indran who are the trio of dEvAs. He is the Chief of dEvAs; He took care of them, forgave their sins and removed their sins, too. He is the One who is having His yOga nidhrA on the Milk Ocean (ThiruppARkadal). He, the Chief of NityasUris, is the One who destroyed the Lankai and kileed rAvaNA. He is Sri Raman. Please prostrate at His Lotus feet and pay obeisance to Him whi can remove all OUR SINS. 3. He, the Chief of NityasUris , is KANNAN, who danced with the pot on His head. (kudakkootthu adiyavan). He is the Most Beautiful and the most illustrious Kannan. He sleeps on the AdhisEshA in ThiruppARkadal. Please think of such GREAT LORD during all days and nights and praise Him. 4. If I, the lowly self, ask you top pray the Lord and praise His Most Auspicious kalyANa guNAs, will it do good to Him, by any way? No. It will DEFINITELY not. I am an ordinary being. But, beware! Even Sivan, BrahmA and Indran -such Great dEvAs are praising Him and His guNAs- that is SOMETHING and it must be true that HE IS THE CHIEF. What a Great Lord is HE! (What a Great anubhavam of AzhwAr! Enna humility!) 5. The Lord, KrishNan, the one who took avathaaram for us, is the Most Beautiful dark, Handsome Lord. He has got the Most Loveliest Red Lotussed eyes. He is the Swami of NityasUris. He has got the Lovely dark, curly tresses and the lustrous shining Golden crown ( kireetam ) on the top. One can see His form in the expanded blue sky / space, in the Gentle breeze, the surrounded Big, Blue Oceans and the red, shining Fires; He can be seen as the Gods (deivams), human beings, animals, insects, plants, etc., All is He. (Dear, AzhwAr gives the essence of VishitAdvaitham here. Let us be blessed by the vision of such Lord among all that we see; among all and among us. I wish we could do that;- May azhwar bless us with that Divine katAkasham) 6. Emperumaan does not have creation for Him or death for Him. But, He has all in Him that undergoes the births and deaths. He does NOT have kaRmA and their impact on Him. He came as the Most Ferocious Lion-man (Lord NrsimhA) and saved PrahlAda from HiraNyakasipu. PrahlAda caught hold of Him at His Feet when He appeared and killed with such ferocity. (I remember seeing Sri Mukkur Laksmi NarasimhachAriar during his performance of yaagham at Srirangam, used to get into trance often and used to walk up and down with the head held high and his mouth a bit open showing his teeth, reddy eyes wide open, roaring like a lion, and used to even throw the flowers, the mud, the fruit or the rice, or whatsoever at the devotees who thronged to see him- It used to be really a goos pimple, hair-raising ecperience to see the swami in NrsimhA form. In fact he weighs also quite heavy and the way he walks (rather gallops up and down) is just like a Lion. ) Great BhAgawathA!). He is the One who is in all tastes, forms, smell, sounds, and essences. There is NO God for me except Him. As long as time remains, He is my Lord and the parathvam. 7. My bhagawaan, My Lord of Athman, is the sweetest nectar for me; He is the Most shining ray of light for me and has mixed with me and with my Athman. He is the Blue hued MANickkam and He is KaNNan. He is the Sugarcane for the NityasUris who enjoy Him with their anubhavams. He is the most tastiest ripened fruit; If you worship Him with a -pure heart and mind, then sorrows and ills will run away form you. 8. He is the One who is the cause and the Chief of all beings; But He does not get himself caught in the karmAs of these beings; He is beyond the prakrti maNdalam and is the form of Most illustriuos shining light; He ate and spat the seven worlds; When His bhAgawathALs are about to lose their consciousness and are in their deathbeds, (even when they are not able to think of Him at that time), He terrifies and scares the yamadhUthAs away form His devotees. He becomes the visham (poison) for the yamadhUthAs. He is The One, who never deserts His bhakthAs at anytime, and is the One who took the avathaaram as Sri RAMA, the son of dasaratha chakravarthy. There is NO REFUGE for me, but the LOTUS FEET of the son of dasarathA,( the Chakravarthy Thirumagan.) 9. He is the One who is the refuge for me and is the Mother and Father for me. He is the same one acting as both my father and the mother as well. He is the same one who is everything else too; he is unbounded pErAnandham (bliss) and the Greatest bhagawath anubhavam for NityasUris; He is the prime cause of all and is the Chief of the trio (BrahmA , Sivan and Indran). Oh Guys! Please do not fear thinking of such Greatness,the primordial nature of His and the complex, incomprehensible kalyANa guNAs. He will take the Most Loveable, simple Beautiful form in which you want Him to come and you think of Him. He will bless us in that form. Hence, pray to Him, the Blue Hued, the dark-sea coloured Lord Sriman Narayanan. 10. NityasUris' dark Blue hued Emerald,(karu MANickkam), is my KaNNan. He is the paranchudar, who is having the yOganithrA on the AdhisEshan in ThiruppaRkadal (Milk Ocean). He made the Five pANdavaAs fight the war and kill the hundred duryOdhanAs. He, by Himself drove the chariot of Arjun as the sArathy. When will my eyes be able to see the Lotus Feet of that pArthasarathy? 11. Bhawawaan, My Emperumaan is the Most Difficult to be seen by our physical eyes. He is the One who showers grace on His devotees on the Earth. About such Greatest Lord, Sriman Narayanan, Thirukkurugoor SadagOpan composed 1000 pAsurams. Out of these 1000, if you read these TEN pAsurams (or their meanings), you WILL BECOME HIS BHAKTHAS AUTOMATICALLY.
