krishna- how you entered my mind- 2

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri vaishnava perunthagaiyeer,

 

Selvan naaraNan enRa sol kEttalum malgum kaN pani- 1-10-8 nammaazhvar in his

thiruvaaimozhi- slight rearrangement of words to get prose order and direct

meaning- Selvan naaraNan enRa sol kEttalum kaN pani malgum - once the word

naaraayaNan is uttered by the mouth, the ears pick up that and eyes start

reacting by dewing- oh krishna- that word -oh!- has so much power to make

eyes dew.

 

See there are 7 actions and reactions in this process-

- mind dwells on that naaraayaNa dhivya naamam

- mind directs to mouth to utter that naamam loudly

- mouth utters that naamam loudly

- ears pick up that naamam sound

- sends back to mind to dwell and enjoy

- mind asks the eyes to react

- eyes react by shedding tears.

So such a long process is done so fast that Selvan naaraNan enRa sol

kEttalum malgum kaN pani- as soon as kEttalum- on hearing- eyes dew.

 

Then, is it a simple "sol"- word- no- just for simplicity sake aazhvaar said

that naamam as "sol". Oh krishna! It is your name- naamam- "vaadinEn vaadi

varunthinEn manaththaal-uNarvu ennum perum padham therinthu-- naadinEn naadi

naan kaNdu koNda naamam" allavaa adhu- thirumangai azhvaar 1-1-1. Such a

naamam, suddenly can it become a sol- definitely no- suffered and suffered

repeatedly -both physically and mentally and then found that dhivya naamam.

 

[Oh bhakthaas- please recollect kaaRRinilE varum geetham- kaNgaL paniththida

pongum geetham- quoted in part 1- now link and see- author of that song

kalki perhaps taken clue from this verse and wrote that beautiful song.]

 

Oh krishna! I was dwelling on that magnificient naamam [is it one or 1008]

whenever possible and wherever I was, in my mind- eNNalaam pOdhE un naamam

ellaam eNNinEn- 4-10-6 periyazhvar- Is that forced you to come and sit in my

mind- may be - yes - but please tell me by what route- Eppadiththaan en

uLLam pugunthu ennai adimai koNdeerO swami?

 

Oh krishna! Now I must thank you doubly for you did not come alone- singly-

you came along with my mother- aravaththamaLiyinOdum azhagiya parkadalOdum

aravinthap paavaiyum thaanum agampadi vanthu pugunthu - 5-2-10-

periyaazhvar- you came with that beautiful lotus lady, along with your snake

bed, and that supporting milk ocean- now I wonder how you made all these big

things so tiny, so that they are accommodated in my mind- agampadi vanthu

pugunthu- or is it that when you are coming, you made my mind also so big,

enough to contain all these- wonderful- now- I realise it is possible for

you- you made it- please tell me that route only.

 

I will not leave you so easily- until you clear my doubt- for I can not

conclude which way so easily - en mudivu kaaNaathE ennul kalanthaanai sol

mudivu kaaNEn naan solluvathu en? 2-5-8 nammaazhvar- I can not find an end

to my words or doubts- what I can say on this- so how I could conclude-

krishna, please tell me.

 

One thing is certain - oh krishna- you are- iniyoru ulagam u(n)naith thavira

enakkoru sugam ilai enath thanthavaa- OVS Swami- You gave me yourself so

that there is no other world for me, no other comfort for me - you are such

a person. Please tell me- Is it though the ears that you entered?

 

"Nee en seviyin vazhi pugunthu ennuLLaai" - 75 periya thiruvanthaathi-

nammaazhvar- Guru discovered the route and now proclaims- you entered

through the ears and stays in me, Oh krishna! Then it must be true, - for he

knows you and your ways.

 

Oh bhakthaas, guru can find, guide me and convince me on the route how the

Lord entered in me. So he tells me now.

 

[Thanks to Sri Velukkudi Krishnan swamy for providing me the above quote. I

just kept this for inclusion in next part because of length of first part.

Meanwhile he gave this. Many thanks again for the more important "rukmiNi

sandhEsam quote' following in the write up now]

 

After entering "Oru idam onRu inRi ennuL kalanthaan"- 2-5-2 nammazhvar in

thiruvaaimozhi - he entered into me and mixed with me in every part of me

without leaving any part wherein he is not there.

 

Muzhu Ezhulagum uNdaan uganthu vanthu adiyEnuL pugunthaan agalvaanum allan

ini- 2-6-7 nammazhvar in thiruvaaimozhi- That person who ate all the seven

worlds came with pleasure and entered into me and started residing there, he

said "I am not going to leave you hereafter".

 

Hey, you came into me with pleasure- uganthu vanthu- so what else is sugam

for me- comfort- that I want- oh krishna! It is mutual pleasure now- I enjoy

your coming into me- you enjoy coming into me and mixing in me.

 

"Mother rukmani also whispers to me in the ears- hey - this is the route he

entered into me also"- may be this is your usual route-

Rukmini uvaacha! Sruthvaa guNaan Bhuvana sundharaa! SruNvathaam thE nirvisya

karNa vivarair haratha: ~ anga thaapam! Roopam dhrusaam dhrusimathaam

akhilaartha laaBham thvayi achyuthaa aavisathi chiththam apathrapam mE!

Srimadh bhaagavatham- dhasama skandham - uththaraardha - chapter 51- slokam

37- chapter title rukmini sandhEsam

 

Since she has not seen you earlier and heard about you and your beauty, she

addressed you as "Bhuvana sundaraa!". So it is clear you entered into my

mother's mind through the ears only. May be you took similar route into me

also.

 

But hereafter I am not going to leave you, ippOdhu en nejinuL pugunthaayai

pOgavottEn- now that you have entered into me, I wont leave you to go- thriu

mangai aazhvaar- 7-3-8.

 

Oh bhakthaas - don't leave him to go out. Enjoy his presence in you,

 

Dhaasan
