Sri:

Srimathe Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

 

Our poorvacharyas have mentioned that Sri Bhashyakarar established the

sampradayam, with his greatest unambiguous interpretation /commentaries on

Vedas and Vyasa's Brahma soothra. How could he alone get that most accurate

interpretation, while Sri Sankaracharya and others could not. Because- he

was blessed with the Dravida (Tamil) Vedam- Naalyaayira Divya

Prabhandham."idhu koNdu, Soothra vaakhyatthai orunga vittanar"- says Sri

Azhagiya Manavala PerumAL Nayanar in Acharya Hrudhayam.. "idhu koNdu"- With

the help of this Great Naalaayiram.. Sri Ramanuja, could firmly establish

the SarIra SarIri Bhavam..

 

What is the cause behind our AchAryA's achievement? No doubt it is Sriya:

Pathi Sriman Narayanan's grace. But.. the entire credit actually goes to our

most merciful, "vaLLal' Sri Nathamuni.. It is Emperumaan's upakaram that He

has bestowed His grace on us by giving Sri Nathamuni to uplift us.

 

When Nathamuni was at local temple, he heard few Bhagawathas reciting a ten

from Nammalwar's Tiruvoimozhi praising Lord ArAamudhan- (the insatiable

nectar) He heard "aaraa amudhE.. (On Insatiable nectar!) adiyEn aavi agamE

thitthippay .. en naan seyghEn? yaarE kaLaikaN? ennai en seyginRRay? ninnaal

allaal yaavaraalum onRum kuRai vENdEn (I don't seek anyone else to

alleviate/solve my grievance); unakku aatpattum adiyEn innum uazhalvEnO?

(Even after being enslaved by you, should I still be suffering?); thaniyEn

dhariyEn un saraNam thandhu en jenmam

kaLaiyaayE..(Please grant me the abode of your Feet and make me get rid of

my births..- I can not last this suffering anymore; I am all alone

suffering..) etc.. .. .. This ten concluded with " those who recited these

ten which formed part of my 1000 "would become the darling of the Gods."

Nathamuni was so impressed with the poetic beauty of the ten and was so

mesmerised by the bhakti laden, emotinal ten and asked them whether they

knew the full text of Tiruvaaymozhi or anyone else who could help. They

directed him to one Parankusa daasa in Kurugur who was a

disciple of Madhurakavi.

 

 

Nathamuni made straight to Kurugur but Parankusa daasa also could not help.

But, he suggested that if Natha muni could recite the kaNNinun chiRutthaambu

of MadhurakaviAzhwAr 12,000 times in front of the famous tamarind tree in

Adhinatha temple, he might get the original pAsurams. This, Natha muni did

with utmost devotion. He had a vision of Nammalwar himself (who had appeared

more than 4000 years before Nathamuni..) who personally taught him not only

his own compositions but also those of all the other Alwars, enabling us to

get the insatiable nectar (aaraa amudhu) -all pAsurams of all AzhwArs.

 

Today is Sri Nathamuni's Thirunaksathram. For this vaLLal, let us pay our

sincere obeisance to him, remembering Thooppul PiLLai Swamy Desikan's

Adhikarasangraham lines on Nathamuni..

 

............taaLam vazhangith thamizh maRai innisai thandha vaLLaL...

mooLum thava neRi moottiya Nathamuni kazhalE..

naaLum thozhudhu yezhuvOm-namakku yaar nigar innaanilatthE?..

 

What a grand and truthful statement from Swamy Desikan! (the benevolent one

who gave the Tamil Vedas set to taaLam (music). Let us sEvicchufy (offer our

saashtanga praNAmams at) his feet again and again everyday.. Who can be

equal to us on this earth? (None- as we only are blessed with such "vaLLal"

Nathamuni..)

 

For Srivaishnavam to exist globally today, it is only due to our most

merciful, the greatest Nathamuni- (Pithaamahar of Sri Yamunacharya) who gave

us from nowehere, the entire 4000 and established the Srivaishnavam.
