This being the concluding posting of this series it is adiyen’s humble

request to all bhagavatas to please consider this as adiyen’s personal

anubhavam and no insult or nothing against the poorvacharya

anubhavams/vyakhyanams is intended. It is adiyen’s involvement

towards Parthasarathi and thiruvallikeni divya desam that had made

adiyen write such a series. There may be many places not acceptable

to many but still let this be considered as just one other anubhavam

of an ignorant soul blabbering something (“neesanEn niraiondrumilEn

en kan pAsam vaiththa paramsudar jOdhikkE” “elaiya pun kavidhaiyElum

empirArkku eniyavArE”). Right or wrong adiyen is sure that this

series will be enjoyable to both Parthasarathi emperuman and all his

devotees. What else to say other than his divine grace (nirheduka

krupai) that had made the lowest of the lowest jeevatma like adiyen

to write a few words about emperuman and his greatness.

 

We will conclude this series just spotting one great occasion to add

to our anubhavam. In the previous posting we saw that MA had

indirectly did mangalasasanams to our dear Parthasarathi. Do you

know how sArathi honours MA for the same? It is only on the

avarthAra dinam of MA, chittiraiyil chittirai does parathasarathi

start his grand yearly brahmotsavam. It is like sArathi celebrating

the divine avataram of MA to show the greatness of an acharya to this

world for 10 days. And on top of all this on that day parthasarathi

gives divine darshan to MA in the ‘pinna kalai vAhanam’ as kutti

kannan with a flute in hand. Just for all your information there is

one another similar happening in thiruvallikeni when

Narasimhan/Azhagiya singan during his brahmotsavam honours periazhvar

(on Ani swathi). Periazhvar did mangalasasanams to narasimhan in his

very first prabhandam thiruppallAndu as “andhiyam pOdhil ariyuruvAgi

ariyai azhiththavanai pandhanai teera pallAndu pallAyiraththAndendru

pAdudhumE”.

 

[blessed were the souls who witnessed the divine sevai of periazhvar

on a small yanai vahanam doing mangalAsAsanams to azhagiya singan on

top of garudan this year.]

 

There is no end to adiyen’s anubhavams with

parthasarathi/thiruvallikeni but a great fear in adiyen’s mind keeps

on asking me to put a stop to writing more and more. Will not “evil

eyes” fall on my dear parthasarathi? So due to that fear of

kandrishti adiyen is concluding for now. Adiyen’s humble request to

all the bhagavatas to do mangalAsAsanams to thiruvallikeni and all

emperumans over there including all the azhvars and acharyas under

the divine service of the lord in archa roopam. Adiyen’s fear

increases due to the recent disheartening incidents in thirumala.

Thirumalai by itself is considered very sacred by our poorvacharyas

“malaiyE thiruvudambu” swamy emperumAnAr hesitated even to put his

feet on the thirumalai though he himself was seshAvataram. But that

divine place is in a very sad state today. AnanthAzhvan, was a very

close disciple of emperumanar who practiced madurakavi bhavam to the

maximum extent. That is why people in his lineage still call

themselves as ‘madurakavi dasan’. AnanthAzhvan considered the

kainkaryam allotted to him by his acharya as more important even to

the bhagavat sevai. He considered even the ants in thirumalai to be

some nithya soori. Kulasekara perumal wanted a birth atleast as a

step in thirumalai “padiyAi kidandhu vun pavalavAi kAnbEnE”

“emperumAN pon malai mEl edEnum AvEnE” We even today call the divine

step near the emperuman sannadhi only as “kulasekaran padi” Amidst

all these greatness how come such atrocities are going on in

thirumalai? How are we Srivaishnavas still keeping quiet taking care

of just our personal needs? Will we keep quiet if our father is in

danger, if his place is blasted with bombs? Unfortunate vandalism has

struck that divine place held so close to the hearts of azhvars and

acharyas. In thiruvaimozhi, azhvar choose only thirumalai padhigam

to deliver the dvayArtham to all (“ozhivil kAlamellam” and

“vulagamunda peruvAyA”). The same thiruvenkatamudaiyan came down to

thiruvallikeni as venkata Krishnan to explain the charama slokArtham

to one and all not just by words but also with his divine darshan

(his thirumeni talks the divine rahasyam). Emperuman came down for

all our welfare but hope the virus of scandalling of emperuman’s

property doesn’t descend not only to thiruvallikeni but also to any

other divya desam.

Let us all join together and sing mangalAsAsanam especially to

thirumalai/thiruvenkatamudaiyan (undergoing such pain today),

thiruvallikeni/Parthasarathi and to all the emperumans at all the

divya desams. May the lords stay amidst the crowd of devotees who

love and care for the lord. May commercialization and selfishness

not enter the divya desams and Srivaishna community and spoil the

divine atmosphere.
