Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Dear sri vaishNava perunthagaiyeer, When a person is not that much 'beauty personified', then he puts on a lot of make up so that he makes himself presentable in front of others. These days the brides and grooms spend at least few thousand rupees to take the bridal make up, with the hope that they look attractive at least on that important day of their life. Perhaps on the very next day without the make up, the couple can at least think, "hey I looked gorgeous with the make up, now that I am without it, what the other partner will think of me". Then may conclude, may be a commitment is already made and have to live with it. Or can even think, now that I decided, cannot go back on this blunder decision. When it comes to the lord, that too my krishNa, rukmini, the would be consort then, addressed him even before seeing him, as "bhuvana sundhara" while sending a letter through that Brahmin [who acted as emissary between the divine couple]. That too after knowing fully well [for she has heard a lot about him] he is dark in colour like the cloud. See the slOkam in sreemadh bhaagavatham 10th skandham uththara ardham - second half of 10th canto sargam 52 - chapter 52 SlOkam 37 sruthvaa guNaan bhuvana sundhara sruNvathaam thE nirvisya karNavivarai: harathOnga thaapam| roopam dhrusaam dhrusmithaam akhilaarthha laabham thvayi achyuthaa aavisathi chiththam apathrapam mE || See the admission - I heard your characteristics. See also 'roopam dhrusaam' - seen your figure, concluded you are the most beautiful in the world - so nicknamed you as bhuvana sundharan. [- seen photo? Those days may be portraits drawn by artists are the photos available. May be the artist in his devotion to krishNa painted very nicely. In spite of all the inherent distortions in the mode of conveying the roopam, concluded sundharan - that too bhuvana sundharan - world's best beauty]. Describing the beauty of sree krishNa different bhakthaas sing in the same style as mother rukmini. May be the language is different. But the substance is same. Enjoying his beauty to the core. Let it be periyaazhvaar turned as the mother yasOdhaa - who did all the childcare - or an ascetic like naaraayana theertha.- enjoying Krishna and his beauty is same. See krithi in raga naadhanaamakriyaa thaaLam chaapu composer - naaraayana theertha NT For this krithi in the fourth tharangam, NT puts a title "krishNa gOpaalana varNana abhinaya: kriyathE" - meaning - I describe [by dancing?] krishNa the gOpaalan - the cowherd or protector of cows - and then gives this krithi. Pallavi: paahi paahi jagan mOhana krihna parama aanandha sree krishNa meaning: oh beautiful Krishna, who makes the whole world get enticed by your beauty, [or stupefy the whole world by your beauty], supremely blissful krishNa, protect me. charaNam 1. dhevakee vasudhEva nandhana krishNa dhivya sundhara sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa, the delighter of vasudhEva and dhEvakee, divinely beautiful Krishna. [bhuvana sundhara - there dhivya sundhara here.] 2. nandha yasOdhaa nandhana krishNa indhu vadhana sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa, the delighter of nandha gOpa and yasOdhaa, the moon faced krishNa 3. kundhara dhana kutila aLaka krishNa mandha smitha sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa, beautifully curly haired one with a wealth of jasmine on it, smiling gently 4. kinkiNee rachitha gaNam gaNa krishNa kreedaalOla sree krishNa - paahi meaning: Oh sri krishNa, bells making sound as ganagana and one who enjoys playing tricks with others. 5. kunkuma banga vibangila krishNa koota mahima sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa one who makes the kunkumam - vermillion to get bogged down by your lips colour and who has a multitude of fame. 6. chanchala jalanchala noopura krishNa manjuLa vEsha sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa who has a waist band which makes chal chal sound because of the bells attached to it, one who is dressed so beautifully. 7. tharaLitha kundala maNditha krishNa thaaNdava lOla sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa having a splendid ear stud having the beautiful central gem of a necklace decorating your stud in the ears, one who likes playing dances to the dance tunes. 8. Dhikrutha suraripu maNdala krishNa dheena paalana sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa one who made peace with the enemies of dhEvaas , one who protects the weak ones. 9. saadhu saadhu nata vEsha sree krishNa sathya sandha sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa - one who plays the role of a quiet man with ease - or innocent one with ease, one who is true to his salt. 10. paalitha naaraayaNa theertha krishNa parama paavana sree krishNa - paahi meaning: oh krishNa, the protector of naaraayana theertha, and one who supremely delights. Comments on the krithi and links if any to 4000 dhivya prabhandham we will see in next post as the length increases. Please observe in this krithi there are 22 krishNa naamam - by singing this song itself a good meditation on krishNa is achieved. So please do meditate and await krishNa taste in next post.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 U.Ve. Swami Vasudevan: Excellent presentation. I thought Jayadeva, OVK, Narayanatheertha, and Meera are the ones that had vision of Lord Krishna. The more I read your e-mail, I feel that you are completely dissolved in Krishna Bakthi. I got your e-mail attaching a lengthy narrative inclluding other Narayanatheertha keerthana "Govardhana Giri Dhaara, Gokula". I have gone thro two times but I don't think you explained that keerthana as you did in the unermentioned krithi. Could you check whether I missed your vyakyanam. Otherwise you can include that in your continuation posting. Thank you once again. Adiyaen Nerur S.
