Sri Amudhan SamprOkshanam and ChAthur mAsya sankalpam - Part 10

 

AzhwAr considered Sri ArA amuthan as his achAryAL himself !!

It is customary that a student receives the blessings from

his guru prior to starting his viddhai on his debute. It is

also a great belief in Srivaishnavam that one prays to the

thiruvadi of their AchAryA and grips such thiruvadi when

they ascend to Srivaikundam. As per our AchArya guru

pArampariyam, Sri Ramanujar prayed to Sri periya nambi's

thiru vadi and Swami Desikan prayed to Sri AppuLLAr's thiru

vadi at the time of their ascending to Sri vaikundam. Sri

nammAzwAr desires that

 

"thaLarA udalam ennathAvi sarinthu pOm pOthu iLaiyAthu

unathu thAL orunga pidithhu pOtha isai neeyE"

 

----------- thiru vAy mozhi 5.8.8

ie., When my last breath is about to go out please bless me

such that i hold your holy feet firmly and without any

laxity and ascend to Srivaikundam. This alone is a proof to

establish that Sri nammAzhwAr considered Sri ArA amuthan as

his AchAryAL himself. Moreso, he confirms this one more

time at the time when he enters Srivaikundam in the last but

one pathigam of thiru vAymozhi as,

 

"kudanthai en kOvalan kudi adiyArkkE" -- thiru vAy mozhi 10.9.7

 

ie., All the "welcoming" and "ubacchArams" by many enroute

to Srivaikundam is all provided only to those who are the

adiyArs of Sri ArA amuthan.

 

He once again utters the name of our perumAL Sri ArA amuthan

in the very last pathigam of thiru vAy mozhi as

 

"Arap paruga enakku ArA amuthAnAyE"-- thiru vAy mozhi 10.10.5

 

"enakku ArA amuthAy enathu Aviyai"-- thiru vAy mozhi 10.10.6

 

As similar to any Srivaishnava who will only remember his

AchAryAL's thiruvadi, SrinammAzwAr remembers only Sri ArA

amuthan and HIS holy feet as he enters Srivaikundam.

He cites this Lord Sri ArA amuthan "thrice" in his last 2

pathigams. Whatever extent and sweet words, he may have

praised all the 35 Lords (he had delvered on 36 divya desams)

Sri nammAzhwAr doesnot remember anyother of those Lords at

the most crucial time when he enters Srivaikundam. He

remembers only Sri ArA amuthan, who is his aRivu (ie., his

knowledge the thiru vAy mozhi itself), his aRivin payan (the

fruit of his knowledge, the mOksham), his holy AchAryAL, his

perumAL and his everything thereafter, forever....

Sri Venkata Gurave Nama:

 

Dear SriRengarajan,

 

your posting on kudanthai about SriNammalwar 's Interest on Kudanthai

Divya desam was really moving.

I could not avoid myself to be overcome by Joy and extreme emotions.

 

Well Not just Sri.Nammalwar, Even Kaliyan during his Famous First "Vadinen

Vadi" 10 songs, He opens up his account only with with Sri.Aravamutha Alwan

by starting "Suzh puanl kudanthahiye thozhuthu"

 

even when he finishes his prapandam, he does not forget to mention this

Aravamudhan .(Thirunendhatakam)

"Kudanthai kidantha malai"

 

may be he has taken cue from Sri.Nammalwar as to how to start and end a

prapandam.

 

 

thank you

 

Adiyen
