krishna- how you entered my mind- part 10

[Guest guest]

Dear Srivaishnava perunthagaiyeer,

 

In the last post we concluded "Oh that beauty of krishna- entering through

the eyes- completely over powers the heart. Now heart is full of that

krishna swaroopam". Continuing with the dhyaanam of that krishna roopam, we

will repeat that question "hey krishna eppadiththan en uLLam pugunthu ennai

adimai koNdeerO swamy" in an attempt to find an answer.

 

You may ask "hey even after 9 posts of searching for an answer, have you not

got an answer". I will have to reply you, the act of searching is more tasty

than having the real answer. So let us continue the search and see how

kooraththaazhvaan enjoyed that krishna swaroopam - "en uLLam pugunthu ennai

adimai koNda kaLvanin roopam"

 

AmbhOdha neelam aravindha dhaLaayathaaksham

pinchaavathamsam urareekrutha vENu paaNim!

thvaam gOpavEsha parikarmitha kaayakaanthim

Dhanyaas thadhaa dhadhrusurun mathitha anya Bhaavaa:!! 48th slokam of

athimanushasthavam

 

Meaning: Oh krishna! when you played the flute with your own hands and

danced in the brindhaavan, the people who had the bhagyam and no other

desire except enjoying you, were just immersed in those niceties of enjoying

you in

* Your cloud coloured shining body [ambhOdha neelam]

* Your shining long lotus petal like eyes [aravindha

dhaLaayathaaksham]

* The hair locks adorned with the feathers of peacocks of the forest

[pinchaavath amsam]

* The dress of the gopaas adorning the shining blue body [gOpavEsha

parikarmitha kaaya]

* The hands wielding the flute that produces enticing music

[urareekrutha vENu paaNim]

 

In another slokam he wants this gOpa vEshadharan to reside in his heart

permanently. See his request -

Gopaala vEsha parikarma paraavarEsam

Yannaama dhaama paramam thamasa:parasthaath/

Thath pinchalaanchana sudhaamakrutha upaveetham

GOdhooLi dhoosaritha kunthaLam antharaasthaam//

- slokam 55 athi maanushasthavam

 

That "grandest" light called krishna must always reside in my heart, which

is most important for those highly placed nithya soorees, that supreme light

* who always have the nectarian mahalakshmi in his chest

* Having the peacock garland adorned in his chest around that nectar-

sudhaa

* Coming in the Gopa dress as his favourite dress

* Having the hair locks covered with the dust created by cow hoofs

 

The light has to be in front for the eyes to see, the music of his flute has

to be there for the ears to hear so that the feeling of his residing in the

heart is always there for all bhakthaas. Then only as a bhakthaa, I can say

-

AdiyOmOdum ninnOdum pirivu inRi aayiram pallaaNdu- thiruppallaaNdu 2-

there is no separation between you and me your servant for long long years.

 

When there is no separation how is that he came and entered into me. He was

there always, but I did not realise. Now that realisation has come again by

his own act and so I say he came entered into me. See

EnakkE aatchei ekkaalaththum enRu en manaththE vanthu idai veedinRi manni-

2-9-4 nammazhvar in thiruvaaimozhi

He came into my mind and did that act of making me - "be my servant for

ever".

 

What is the result. For any act there is a result in this world-

AdiyOm enRu ezhuththuppatta annaaLE adiyOngaL adik kudil veedu peRRu

uinthathu kaaN -thirup pallaaNdu -10

 

We got that veedu- that mOksham. So when we got this nothing more to seek or

search. Heed the advice -

AnGe ingE enRu alaiyaadhe maname

Aazhnthu paar un uLLe brindhaavanamE

Thangaladhu kaNNanin pEr paadum munname

Thaanaagath thONumE sankai En inimE

EnavE naavE sol gOvindha gOvindha

 

OVS mahan in his krithi niraintha mayil in raaga maalika. [since I started

ith OVS krithi as topic of this series it is better that I conclude also

with his krithi].

PS: With this I conclude this topic and thanks for the patience in reading

and enjoying that krishnan.
