Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi - 8 My tongue will never sing in praise of humans!

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

It is so great of Sriman SadagOpan to bless my posts with his rich deep,

lovely references and adds much flavour to these pAsurams. Thanks a lot,

Sri SadagOpan for your words of encouragement.

 

Let us immerse ourselves again into the nectar of next ten pAsurams of

Thirumazhisaivandha jOthi’s Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi.

 

71. PerumAn is at the farthest place in SrivaikuNtam. He is so easily

accessible, however; such a Sowlabhyan is He. He stoops down to the

lowest level and takes avataars amongst us, the lowly selves. Such a

Sowlseelyan is He. He was born as a Cowherd boy; He became the King of

Dwarakai. He is the Most wonderful Lord. Those who can not understand

and realise the essence and meaning of His final assurance to arjunA in

terms of the Charama slOkam at the battle field of KurukshEthram (“sarva

dharmaan…), are Bhagavadh virOdhis and are as good as ILLITERATE.

 

72. Those who are confused with the means for attaining mOksham and are

wandering here and there looking for some sort of means, tell us lot of

scriptures and words on Karma yOgham etc,, as PramaaNams; they are ALL

NOT pramaaNams. If it is not and if others of renounced order says

“jnAna yOgam is PramaaNam, it is also not the case. Similarly, Bhakti

Yogham, Divya dEsa vaasam (residing at Divya dEsam), Nama sangheerthan,

etc.. are ALSO NOT. These Karma Yogham, Bhakti yOgham, jnAna yOgham,

etc.. etc.., are all beneficial, and will yield dividends ONLY BY THE

GRACE AND MERCY OF LORD SRIYA: PATHIH SRIMAN NARAYANAN. Can anyone say

No?

 

73. During the Cosmic cycle end, He ate all lOkAs and spat them out

after for sustenance; He is like the Huge Biggest Ocean; Is there ANYONE

who knows the Greatness of Emperumaan at all? NONE. That Compassionate

Lord, the One who had blessed us with the Most loveliest Charama slOkam;

the essence and meaning of which is NOT UNDERSTOOD EVEN BY Sivan (the

neela kaNTan) and BrahmA (the eight eyed one).

 

74. Once, a snake by name sumukhan, was afraid of Garudan (its

traditional enemy) and surrendered to Emperumaan. The Most Compassionate

Most Merciful Lord Sriman Narayanan, enabled the snake move on GarudA’s

body without fear. Such a wonderful, dayAkaran is He. My tongue CAN

NEVER UTTER /PRAISE ANYONE ELSE except This SarvEshawaran.

 

75. Sri Narayanan – the Emperumaan of SrivaikuNTam- was praised by the

red haired Sivan, by offering flowers continuously for all days and all

times, to the BEST OF HIS STRENGTH AND ABILITY. (Sriman Narayanan is

pleased with Sivan for his bhakti, but not considering that as His

bhAgyam for being praised by Sivan; after all, it is jIvan’s (Sivan’s)

nature to praise the Lord; Sivan did only that;- that’s why AzhwAr has

used the words “pookkoNdu vallavaaRu yEttha magizhaadhu..”- He does NOT

get thrilled;- Does everyone understand the underlying statement? Not

that AzhwAr talks of Sivan’s bhakti less, but that he asserts

Emperumaan’s Supremacy and the Parathvam more!). My tongue will never

sing in praise of Humans (Naak koNdu maanidam paadEn).

 

76. The music, the ithihaasaas (epics), the purANAs, the Fire that

contains all five (pancha) bhUthAs, the vEdAs, the Manu smruthi, etc..

etc.. were all made to appear due to His Most Wonderful Magnificent

powers, His own Grace and His will (sankalpam).

 

77. The vast Ocean, the huge mountains were crossed by the Lord by

constructing a bridge across the sea; Such Greatest Lord, who is of Dark

Ocean like colour. Such Grandest Emperumaan has so mercifully thought of

me- this lowliest of lowly selves- who is the personification of

dhOshams only- and has kept His Heart in me only. So, all my HUGE SINS-

sins that are so great and large in number have all been destroyed

instantly! And immediately! What an Acharyam!

 

78. When Sivan burnt Manmathan (Cupid) to ashes and was doing penance,

his wife ParvathdEvi sang in praise of SarvEshwaran Emperumaan Sriya:

Pathih Sriman Narayanan. By simply listening to the Most Exqusite Divine

names of Emperumaan, sivan was blessed with divine bliss and was simply

amazed. One can not comprehend or imagine how GREAT AND SUPERB IT WOULD

BE, WHEN ONE SEES HIM AND PAYS OBEISANCE TO HIM, LOOKING AT HIS DIVINELY

BEAUTIFUL THIRUMENI! And WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO his body! (It would BE

TREMENDOUS!)

 

79. Those able devotees, who are capable of mediating on Emperumaan (The

Lord of all worlds) in their minds, are most desirous of seeing the

Paramapadham only. Hence, they all consider their physical body (that is

bonded to their AthmA) as their disease only.

 

80. “viRaindhu adaimin mEloru naaL veLLam parakkak/

karadhulakam kaatthaLittha KaNNan*- Parandhulakam/

paadina aadina kEttup padu narakam/

veedina vaasaR kadhavu./

 

When the BhAgawathAs of Sriman Narayanan danced and sang in praise of

Emperumaan, with ecstasy and ParamAnandham, the gates of cruel,

torturing hell, fell breaking to pieces. Please proceed and reach

immediately to pay obeisance to KaNNan, who had retained the whole

Universe in His little stomach and saved from the PraLaya veLLam

(waters) during the Cosmic cycle and who is EVER ready to save us at all

times! (veedina – ozhindhana- destroyed)
