thoo nilA muRRam - part 29 - vimAna thrayam

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Several kalpAs ago, Lord Suryan, and Lord Sri Brahma did a

severe penance seeking Lord Sriman nArAyaNA's blessings. Our Lord

Sriman nArAyanA was very pleased with their sincere "thapas" and

appeared in front of them and asked for their wishes. Both of them

wanted a "kOil" for Sriman nArAyaNa such that they can worship HIM

all the time. Lord immediately created a vimAnam that became three

vimAnams and took two other different forms and entered into two

of them. The three great vimAnams are Sri VaikuNda vimAnam, Sri

praNavAkAra vimAnam, and Sri Vaideeka vimAnam. Lord assumed the Sri

VaikuNda vimAnam as HIS own and placed it in Srivaikundam. HE gave

the praNavAkAra vimAnam to Sri BrahmA and the Sri Vaideeka vimAnam

to Sri Sooryan with the respective thiru uruvams in it. They both

were immensely happy and took their Lords and the vimAnams to their

respective lOkams. Sri Sooryan had the Sri Vaideeka vimAnam and

was worshipping it constantly.

 

It is not known what is the reason for certain things

to occur in certain places. It so happened that Sri Sooryan did a

severe penance in this boomi of thiru kudanthai and earned the name

as Sri bAskara kshEthram. Our Lord with the Sri Vaitheeka vimAnam

has come to stay here for ever as similar to how HE was in Sri

Soorya lOkam (Sri bAskara Lokam then, and Sri bAskara kshEthram

now) earlier.

 

After several years Sri Vavaisvatha manu inherited the Sri

Vaideeka vimAnam and the Lord in it from his father Sri Sooryan.

He had this vimAnam and the temple on the banks of the holy river,

Sri sarayu. He worhsipped this Sri Vaideeka vimAnam and the Lord

for 1000 years there. After Sri Manu his son Sri ikshuvAku

inherited this vimAnam and the Lord. Sri ikshuvAku heared the

vaibavam of the Sri Vaideeka vimAnam and learned about the other

vimAnam namely Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam also. He was very much

desirous of doing ArAdhanam for Sri Vaideeka vimAnam and Sri praNa

vAkAra vimAnam together. He did a severe penance and sought Sri

BrahmA's blessings. Sri BrahmA also appeared in front of him and

blessed him with the possession of his Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam.

Thus the praNavAkAra vimAnam descended with Sri RanganAthan from

Sri Sathya lOkam. It is important to note that Sri Vaideeka

vimAnam and our Lord Sri ArA amuthan came to this boolOgam to

bless all prior to Sri RanganAtha and Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam.

However, When Sri ikshuvAku placed the Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam

next to Sri Vaideeka vimAnam, they both suddenly merged into one

and appeared as Sri praNavAkAra vimAnam itself. Sri IkshuvAku

worshipped this with many special ArAdhaNAs for several years.

Many of his heirs who were part of the Soorya vamsam, such as

Sri Dileepan, his grand son Sri Dasarathan and later Sri Rama

worshipped this twin vimAnam and perumAL(s). So it is to be noted

that Sri ArA amuthan who was residing inside Sri RanganAtha was

also worshipped by Sri Rama. ie., When one worships Lord Sri

RanganAthan with Sri ArA amuthan inside, it must be understood

that Sri ArA amuthan was also worshipped as both the Lords were

unseparated twins then.
