engu suRRinum ranganaiyE vanthu sEr - part 3

[Guest guest]

Lets talk of AzhwAr vaibavam and their

aruLich cheyals. Coming to nammAzhwAr

saranagathi, nammAzwAr made sarangathi

to many (atleast 12) divya desams in

addition to thiru vEngadam. This is one

of them as well. In succession to

nammAzhwAr we have thirumangai, thondar

adip podi did prapatti at the feet of

Arangan as well. We have thiru mAlai and

thirup palli Ezhucchi two seprate

prabhadmas itsleves "exclusively for our

perumAL". Why all these two of the

twelve AzhwAr merged with Arangam of

which one got married to HIM.

 

ANDAL would not want to marry anyone

else. pAnar may have delivered the name

"viRaiyAr pozhil vEngadavan" prior to

"neel mathil arangatthu ammAn" inhis

first pasuram, but the very word "amalan

aadi pirAn "SQUARELY" addresses the

'pranava swaroopam' of the Lord Arangan

here. Besides pAnar delviered that

 

"vada vEngada maamalai vAnavar santhi seyya ninrAn

arangatthu aravin AnaiyAn"

 

meaning that it is Arangan who has to

stand in vEngadam and make vengadan as

vEngadan himself.

 

Besides all this, this AzhwAr merged

with Arangan denoting that he is part of

Arangan alone.

 

If you talk of festivities that

purattAsi festivals in thirumalai has no

comparison, you must remember that

adhyOyayana sEvai in Srirnagam is the

mother of all festivals for

Srivaishnavas. By the way every divya

desam is having their own ahdyOyana

sEvai following the traditions that was

first established here in Srirangam.

 

You have theertham and so we have and in

addition we have "kAuveri" which is

vishun mAya itself garlanding Arangan.

We have the tallest gopuram in the whole

of south Asia.

 

Udaiyavar and Swami Desikan and ManavALa

maamunigal spent a great deal of time

here not to mention thondar adip podi

who resided in side the walls of temple

itself in the nandavanam. All of our

AchAryAs resided here for atleast one

full year and more. The AchArya

pArampariyam contiues as many have their

head quarters here or establishments

here. example, periYasramam, Sri

POundrika pouram Andavan Ashramam, Sri

ahObila muth in Sri DasAvathAra

sanniothi and many others.
