engu suRRinum ranganaiyE vanthu sEr - part 4

[Guest guest]

Srirangam is the head quarters of all

Sri vaishnava acharyAs for so many

centuries now. Do everyone get a

message here as to why all these mahAn's

have to stay here ?

 

Sri Arangan was worshipped by every

faith in Hinduism and everyone delivered

holy pasurams on Arangan. Adisankara

came here and wanted to be here one full

year (there is shAhstram that everyone

in Srirangam is a nitya suri and one has

to live there one uttharAyanam and one

dakshinAyanam). He didnot want to see

the calender or pachAngam. (ie., he

doesnot want to track the days of his

stay here) as he felt it may interrupt

his complete focus on lord Arangan.

 

So he planted a plantain or vAzhai

maram. the cycle of a "vAzhai maram" is

10 months to yield a 'kannu'. ie., its

offspring. After that he never bothered

to look at the days etc and was

constantly worshipping Arangan untill he

noticed that the vAzhai made its

'kannu'.

 

It is said that even pAndavas came here

to worship Arangan at command of Sri

Krishna HIMself when Lord Sri Krishna

was very much there. Leave all these.

Our Lord was worshipped by another form

of the Lord ie Sri Rama worshipped him

and so HE is known as perumAL's perumAL

or popularly "periya perumAL". There are

many reasons to call this divya desam as

"periyathu" or one that is great.

 

 

Finally our thAyar is all merciful and

loving and caring. udayavar waited for

pangunai utthiram day when thAyar joins

perumAL to deliver his gadyath trayam.

thAyAr's karunA is so great. That is why

we are going to worship HER and get the

"mancha kAppu" from HER, first before

going to perumAL sannithi now. By the

way would you care to join us ?

 

bAgawathAs: Oh yes.

 

We probaly can go on list all these for

more and more reasons. I think for now

this will do. Let us have the darshan of

thayAr and perumAL.
