nam-piLLai 9 -avathArigai Contd.

nam-piLLai

 

Continuing on nam-piLLai's avathArigai for "pathudai adiyavaRku ELiyavan' 1-3 of thiru voi mozhi:

 

 

Edu:

 

 

He is the person who beheaded vAnasura then. He incarnated here and

became easily accessible to one and all. Those who opposed Him like

sisupAlAdhigaL, bhUdhanai, sakatAsuran ,yamaLArjunargaL were

vanquished by Him and those who desired Him thrived on HIm.

 

Azhwar mentions several times " worship Him" . Unless, He is in one's

vision one is unable to worship. Unless worshipped, He is not in the

vision. Then how to surrender unto Him?............

 

 

The Lord being the supreme entity, is it possible for Him to come down to such a level?

Being, omnipotent it is indeed possible. In fact, He Himself has mentioned this as :

"My births are not due to kArmic effects but due to my volition. Even

at that low level His supremacy is attained. ....Hence , in

rAmakrishNAdhi avathArangaL He is sulabhan and Hence easily

accessible, surrender unto Him, is AzhwAr's counsel.

 

Among avathAram-s krishNAvathAram is the extreme end of this

simplicity. Even, in that the episode of butter mouthed Lord makes

AzhwAr faint for six months exclaiming

"ethiRam" .

 

First, AzhwAr submerged in Lord's supremacy. He adjusted himself and

preached to the world in the next thiru voi mozhi. In this thiru voi

mozhi, AzhwAr submerged in His simplicity and fainted.

 

Thus swAmi nam-piLLai's introduction for this padhigam visualises and

brings in front of us the Lord with butter in His hand, in His mouth

in the simplest of the simplest state. That, this is the reflection

of the supreme is explained.That, this simplicity cannot be taken for

granted is also mentioned by those opposing being demolished. That

many are enjoying this simplicity while some who oppose fall, is

explained through illustration like water-pond, lamp. That, though a

supreme entity cannot be reached by ordinary mortals like us being

the question raised by one and all is answered by mentioning that it

is possible to reach Him, if He lowers Himself to our reach. That, He

cannot be worshipped as He is not in our vision is answered by the

fact that He has indeed given vision in the incarnations and these

are out of His volition are explained.

Last but not the least, the fact that AzhwAr was able to retrieve

himself from the impact of supremacy and preach but fainted on

turning his thoughts on His extreme simplicity is emotionally spelt

out.

 

 

This grand introduction, will take anybody into levels of ecstasy and

automatically push us into the spirit to dwell into the micro

vyAkyAnam-s of each pAsuram-s to follow.

Is that not the greatness of swAmi nam-piLLai?
