Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi-7 "I SHALL NEVER EVER STOP UTTERING HIS DIVINE NAMES

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Let us jump into the nectarine beauty of ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr’s Naanmugan

Thiruvandhaadhi (61-70) and I am certain that you will come out of it

with absolute pErAnandham /enjoyment.

 

61. When one considers Madhusoodhanan, as the only refuge and saviour

for himself, then all mental worries/confusions will never approach him.

Emperumaan, who stands and executes to His command all seven worlds

simultaneously so excellently in such precise manner, has come to me

today and entered into me as my Most invaluable treasure / wealth. This

wealth in me as the most precious treasure, is only for me exclusively

and none else.

 

62. Emperumaan has got the Divine name as Sridharan- as He has got the

Most Merciful Periya PiraaTTi MahAlakshmi in His Chest always (SrI +

dharan). And those fools who do not realise and be certain that Sriya:

pathih Sriman Narayanan, as the Supreme Lord- Primordial Chief-

ParamAthmA- Param poruL, initiate and preach to other fools that BrahmA,

Sivan, and other dEvAs/demigods (who are also born as jIvAthmAs like

them) are the Paradeivams and Paramathmas. (what a pity!)

 

63. I, (with Your grace), am able to meditate on You, to sing in praise

of You, read and write about You, listen to other BhAgawathAs’ and

realise about Your greatness/leelAs, prostrate at Your Feet and pay

obeisance to You, perform PoojA (Thiruvaaraadhanam) to You- the One who

had calculated the Stars/Planetary movements and positions so precisely

and released the Astrology in such minutest Great details; the One who

is the antharyaami of AdhisEshan (fearsome venomous one to his enemies).

Due to Your blessing, I am able to do them, and by doing so, I am

blessed to know the Truth (that You ARE THE ONLY ONE – The ParamAthmA)

 

64. Sriman Narayanan- The One who has such Beautiful Ear studs (Makara

kuNdalaNgaL) in His Divine earlobes; The Chief of all worlds and all

jIvAthmAs; the One who is most affectionate and loving towards His

devotees; the One who is addressed lovingly as “Narayanan” by everyone;

the One who has thousands of divine names for Him, utterance of which is

capable of cutting asunder all our bondage and further

births/sufferings. Oh People! Meditate on Him- such Greatest Emperumaan

Sriman Narayanan, and offer fragrant flowers to His Feet and pay

obeisance to Him! It is the only means and good thing that we can do and

that is to utter the Most Divine names of that Purushotthaman.

 

65. The Lord- Sriya: Pathih Sriman Narayanan- the One who is the

EXQUISITE DIVINE BEAUTY, PERSONIFIED, the One who always adores His

devotees, - is praised by me, with some rhyming words, to the best of my

ability and strength. Oh People! Please tell me. Do I not have a place

at SrivaikuNTam? I (am blessed to) realise that He alone is the BEST AND

ONLY MEANS for me and I am determined to pay my obeisance to Him.

 

66. Even before I start thinking of SrivaikuNTam, SarvEswaran (the One

who has His YoganidrA on AdhisEshan) has so mercifully come and stayed

in my heart willingly and permanently. I SHALL NEVER EVER CONSIDER SIVAN

AND BRAHMA IN MY MIND. I, who is blessed to have realised that Sriman

Narayanan is the Parathvam, shall never serve other demigods, who have

their so called powers that were anyway granted to them by my

Emperumaan.

 

67. This Greatest Lord- Sriman Narayanan, The Director of my tongue, the

Possessor of Great limitless, unbounded Knowledge, the Omniscient, The

Reservoir of KalyANa guNAs (the Most auspicious attributes), the

SarvEshwaran, who alone is capable of being praised by our tongues- I

should keep praising Him and uttering His Divine names. Let it (the act

of uttering His names) grant me more strengths; or let it do harm even;

let it grant me a good kulam (Srivaishnava kulam); or let it push me

into a low kulam; let it be even a crime; I SHALL NEVER EVER STOP

UTTERING HIS DIVINE NAMES. (meaning: One should not be bothered at all

as to where it takes us by uttering His names- He will take care of us-

HAVE UNFLINCHING FAITH- IT IS HIS BURDEN HEREAFTER, WE BELONG TO HIM. HE

CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH US).

 

68. Yamadharman, (the demigod of death), the one who doesn’t

differentiate between people, and does his dharmic action of judgement

unbiased, called his servants and workers (yamakinkarars) and said

“Listen to me! This is a standing order and a secret. Never disobey

this. Anyone, who does not worship other demigods, has realised the

Parathvam. Even if they forget to utter the divine name of Narayanan (at

the time of his death), still, be soft towards him; Don’t be cruel and

punish him; pay obeisance to him. He has to be respected. (Great!)

(AzhwAr narrates this incident from VishNupurANam)

 

69. “sevikku inbham aavadhuvum sengaNmaal naamam/

puvikkum puviyadhuvE kaNdeer*- kavikkum/

niRaiporuLaay ninRaanai nErpattEn* paarkkil/

maRai poruLum atthanaiyE thaan.”

 

It is not just to avoid the punishment from yama, one needs to utter the

Divine names of Sriman Narayanan. The Divine names of Red Lotus eyed

Lord are also so pleasing to the ears; Not only for me, for the whole

earth, His name can offer shadow to the scorching heat of samsaara

saagaram. With no reason, He has blessed me mercifully to sing in praise

of Him, who Himself is the epitome of all Great admirable and adorable

GuNAs and Beauty, which can never be described to the full extent in

words. Coming to think of further, this is nothing but the very essence

of Vedas too.

 

70. The unparalleled Beauty- The Personification of Beauty- Emperumaan-

appeared as a cute lovely small Brahmachari boy Vaamanan and went on

foot to MahAbhali chakravarthy and begged for three measures (by His

feet) of the earth sand and HE MEASURED THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IN TWO STEPS!

Such Greatest Lord is He! Not that He just measured the Earth! He also,

took Huge Great Varaaha avataar, and dived into the deep Oceanic waters

and brought back the Mother Earth on His corner teeth (kOraippal)! It is

not that I alone know this! THE WHOLE WORLD FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL KNOWS

THIS TRUTH ABOUT HIM.
