Thiruvaaymozhi 7.5- Learned- Why Would they learn of anything BUT RAMAA?

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

After enjoying Lord's victorious acts in the last ten, AzhwAr ponders

over the essentially / natural phenomenon of anyone wanting to learn

only about such Greatest Lord and NOTHING ELSE. NampiLLai says that

KUrEsar enjoys the whole ten as that of Sri Rama even though only the

first two pAsurams are about Sri Ramachandra mUrthy.

 

1. "kaRpaar Ramapiraanai allaal maRRum kaRparO?..." goes the first

pAsuram. Why should anyone wish to learn anything but Sri Ramaa? Sri

Rama took everything (the Grass, the creeping ant, the living and

non-living, everyone and everything, - everything that was moving,

everything that was still- all that was born or created by BrahmA- all

that existed in His AyOddya,) to the very best of position (mOksham).

(what a beautiful verse! Sri Rama was so merciful and compassionate that

He took ALL (irrespective of their jnAnam, Bhakti, knowledge,

scholarship, or even an inclination to think of mOksham) out of His own

dayA! It is HE WHO SHOULD GUIDE US TO REACH HIM AND BE TAKEN BY HIM.

Like Sri Anand wrote It is He who hepls us to find AchAryA to mould us

in such a way that we reach Him ultimately.- Such a Krupaakaran Parama

kaaruNikO Bhagawaan- parama dhayaaLu- SaraNagatha vathsalan- Sri Rama-

SHOULD SOMEONE LEARN ANYTHING ELSE, BUT HIM? OF COURSE NOT.)

 

2. "naattil piRanthavar NaaraNaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?... The second

pAsuram says: Emperumaan, who is unbounded by karmas, still was born in

this earthly world and underwent sufferings for the sake of all of us

(the worldly people). Sri Rama took such an avataar and on His own went

searching for asurAs and killed them to save His people. Not only that.

When He completed the mission of His avataar and He was to go back to

Sri vaikuntam, He took all His people along with Him. After listening to

such ParamaathmA, Sri Rama's life, Of whom will someone become a servant

except His?

 

3. "kEtpaarkaL kEsavan keerthiyallaal maRRUm kEtparO?....(Sri Rama took

everyone in AyOdhya along with Him to Sri Vikuntam. Whereas-) OUR

DEAREST SRI KRISHNAN, granted mOksham to even His enemy, sisupaalan,

(who scolded Him in such unparliamentary language in front of so many).

JnAnis who actually know such of His KalYANa guNAs, still desire to hear

Sri KrishNan- The One who killed kEsi asuran- Kesavan's glorious acts

only- WOULD THEY WISH TO HEAR SOMETHING ELSE? (No.) (NamPiLLai says: Sri

KrishNA's dayA is greater than Sri Rama's krupA, due to His granting

mOksham to even sisupaalan.)

 

4. "thanmai aRibhavarthaam avaRkku aaLanRi aavaarO?...(If there is any

guNA of Emperumaan that is grander than that which granted mOksham to

sisupaalan, the asurA, then it is His protecting the universe during the

PraLayam by retaining the worlds in His stomach- as interpreted by

NampiLLai) During mahApraLayam, the sentient and non-sentient beings

will all perish. During that catostraphe, Emperumaan retains the

universe in His stomach. Afterwards, He creates BrahmA, the water- and

Pancha bhUthAs and brings out all sentient and non-sentient that were

dormant during PraLyam. He is such Greatest Primordal Chief and is the

Aadhi kaaraNan- Basic Cause and Effect of everything. Such wonderful

acts of KaNNan are always realized by learned ones and they- after

realising that- will they desire to be enslaved by anyone else EXCEPT

KANNAN?

 

5. "soozhalgaL sindhikkil maayan kazhalanRi choozhwarO?…When the Mother

earth was trapped in the deep troubled waters (like that of PraLyam

(Cosmic cycle end)), Bhagawaan took His Varaaha avataar and brought the

earth back on His tusk, and protected the same. One, after realizing

such a Varaaha avataar’s vaibhavam, Is there any other means THAN TO

HOLD THE LOTUS FEET OF HIS? Immaterial of how many ages one has been

contemplating on ways and means for salvation, THERE IS NONE BUT TO

CATCH HOLD OF VARAAHA SWAMI’S LOTUSB FEET.

 

6. "kEttum uNarndhavar kEsavarkku AaLanRi AavarO? …(NampiLLai says:

This pAsuram that talks about Vaamana avataar whose vaibhavam is more

beautiful and grand than Varaaha avataar.) MahA bhali Chkravartthi, the

one who kept donating to others (a "vaLLal") became proud and egoistic,

and started troubling DevAs, with his might. The poor dEvAs went and

surrendered to Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan. In order to alleviate their

sufferings, He took Vaamana avataar, as a small Brahmachari boy. He

begged three measures of earth from Maha bhali. Without being aware of

the severity of the yaachakam and the boy’s caliber, Bhali consented.

Vaamanan became HUGE and took Trivikrama avataar and measured the entire

world in two steps of His Feet; with the third on Bhali’s head. Thus He

protected and saved the world and dEvAs. By only Such "marvelous,

wonderful" Maayavan, Lord Emperumaan- Kesavan alone- Those who have

heard of Vaamana avataar- would like to be ruled. NONE ELSE.

 

7. "kaNdum theLindhum kaRRaar kaNNaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?…IN ORDER TO

GRANT LONG LIFE (CHIRANJEEVITHVAM) TO Bhakthan MarkaNdEyan- (the one who

wears fragrant garland on his body) Sivan took him to Emperumaan

Narayanan. Emperumaan also, like His eternal life, granted the same to

MarkaNdEyan and blessed him to be chiranjeevi. Not only did He give him

long life, He also went behind that bhakthA, MarkaNdEyan. Those who have

learnt of such Parama kaaruNyam of Emperumaan- KaNNan- WILL NEVER LET

THEMSELVES OFFER THEIR SERVITUDE TO OTHERS, BUT KANNAN.

 

8. "sella uNarndhavar selvanthan seer anRik kaRparO?… HiraNyan

underwent severe penance and obtained Great boon from BrahmA. Due to his

false pride and ego, he fought with deVas and won against them. He

troubled them and made dEvAs suffer terribly. Hence, in full compliance

with the boon granted to HiraNyan by Brahma, Emperumaan Sriman

Narayanan, took NarasimhA avataar, and tore his body and killed him.

After knowing such Great deeds of Emperumaan KaNNan, will someone be

enslaved by others except KaNNan? (No.)

 

9. "maayam aRibhavar maayavaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?… DurYodhanaadhis-the

hundred kauravaas- deceived the Pancha paandavaas and obtained the share

of lands, by wrong means. In order to destroy the kauravaas, KaNNan,

drove the chariot, and helped paandavaas win against Kauravaas in the

battle. After learning such Great deeds of KaNNan, will someone desire

to be ruled by others except Him? (No.)

 

10. "vaartthai aRibhavar maayavaRkku AaLanRi AavarO?…AthmA, without

knowing its true nature, undergoes various births. Due to their births,

there are diseases and deaths; Bhagawaan, with His grace and dayA, The

Most Merciful Lord, removes the sufferings of AthmA and enables it to

reach His Lotus Feet. (See, it is He who enables us!). Those who are

clear of this, and who are clear of His "words" (vaartthai) WILL NOT LET

THEMSELVES BECOME SOMEONE ELSE’S SERVANTS. (Dearest Sisters and

Brothers, here, "the first word in this pasursam "vaartthai", refers to

His Bhagawadh GitA Vaartthai i.e maam Ekam charaNam vraja:. Surrender to

Me alone….

 

11. The BhakthAs, the adiyaarkaL- are certain and are determined that

Emperumaan alone is the means as well as the end. They DO NOT HEAR OF

OTHERS’ (MISLEADING) ACTS OR WRONG WORDS, and get influenced by that.

THEY REMAIN UNAFFECTED BY SUCH EXTERNAL FACTORS. To such determined

Devotees, (those who have such vairaaghyam) KaNNan grants mOksham at Sri

Vaikuntam. About this KaNNan, Sri SadgOpar has sung 1000 pAsurams in

praise of KaNNan. Those who learn these ten (out of 1000) WILL HAVE

CRYSTAL CLEAR MINDS IN ALL THREE WORLDS. ("in spite of where they live-

in spite of their living in samsaara saagaram- they all will possess

CLEAR DETERMINED MINDS THAT LONG FOR EMPERUMAAN" says NampiLLai.
