thanthanan thanathAL nizhaLE - part 6

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas,

The following is Part 6 of this eries which Sri Sampath Rengarajan desired me

to post on his behalf.

=============================================================

Subj: thanthanan thanathAL nizhaLE - part 6

Now let us deal with some words here and

compare it with the famous "ahalahillEn"

of nammAzhwAr on thiru vEngadan.

 

sarangathi is an act that we perform and

such act is a sAthana upAyam that goes upto

removing the anger Lord has on baddha

jivAtma and all its sakthi is exhausted

and rests after that (Swami desikan's

sarama slOka surukku vyAkyAnam). Then it

is upto the Lord alone as the

siddhO upAyam and offer the mOksham or

"pERu". Nothing can cause the siddhO

upAyamto be bestowed upon. It is Lord's

own decision.

 

When nammAzhwar did sarangathi he said

"adiyEn un adikkeezh amarnthu

pugunthEnE" ie., adiyEn surrenderd under

your holy feet, thiru vEngada. But such

nammAzhwAr confirms here at thiru

viNNagram that "thanthanan thanathAL

nizhalE"., ie thanthanan is the vinai

muRRu for this pAsuram. which means

that Lord oppiliappan is the one who

GAVE me mOksham (thanathu AL nizhalE).

 

Oh my fellow bAgwathAs, please tell me

who would you say is the most supreme

Lord,

 

1. the one to whom one surrenders

 

or

 

2. The one who gives you mOksham when

you surrender there.

 

I think the answer is straight forward.

It has been established by the "AchArya

hruthayam" also that this is kshEthram

that nammAzhwAr got his pERu or mOksahm.

Lord oppiliappan is the saranAgatha

rakshagan who has the most important

aspect of all Lords of 108 divya desams.

Lord Opiliappan is the one who gave

nammAzhwAR HIS MOKSHAM. LORD oppiliappan

is the one nammAzhwAr asks all of us go

and surrender to, to get our mOksham

right there and then.
