nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi-31-thirukkuRungudi 1

[Guest guest]

Dear srEvaishNavites,

 

Now that voting has commenced, it is my fundamental duty to campaign for 'thirukkuRungudi'.

en-nenjinAl nOkkik kANEr

 

1. First Going by Our Philosophy:

Unlike GEthAchAryan of thiruvallikkEANi, thirukkuRungudi nambi is a

rank srEvaishNavite. How? He is a devotee of sri em-perumAnAr and

hence, sri vaishNava nambi. Our basic tenet is to be devotee of

devotees and since vaishNava nambi is a devotee of our devotee -going

by nam-AzhWar's and kaliyan's directions- I think thirukkuRungudi

vaishNava nambi should be ranking top in our list.

 

2. Going by the beauty and Perfection: As mentioned in AchArya

Hrdhayam, the immaculate and immense beauty is not on just the

features, but is comprehesive. What does AchArya Hrdhyam say

highlighting this divya-dEsam:

"vaishNava vAmanathil niRaindha nEla mEaniyin ruchi janaka vibhava lAvanyam pUrNam" sUthram 162;

 

The beauty of the Lord attracts the souls and pushes Him into eternal

bliss and helps him in attaining salvation. The beatuy in this

divya-dEsam has attracted both thirumangai mannan and swAmi

nam-AzhwAr undoubtedly.

 

The blue thirumEani, the ornaments, the conch and the disc, the four

shoulders all fill in the mind of AzhwAr.

"nEla mEanium, nAngum thOLgaLum en nenjam niRaindhanavEA" 5-5-7 of thiru-voi-mozhi.

"selginRadhu en nenjamEa" My heart goes for Him. The Lotus eys, the

thirumaru in the chest, the nectar-fruit mouth,the bow, thaNdu,

vAL,the garland,the silk robes,the throat, long eyebrows,the

beautiful nose, the slim mid-portion-siRRidai and finally

"niRaindha sOdhi veLLam sUzhndha" The fifth thriu-voi-mozhi of fifth ten.

 

Thus, the features and the whole beauty makes AzhwAr attracted towards

Him. If for some people, tbe features are good, the macro beauty does

not match. If the macro beauty is good, the micro is not pretty. In

nambi's case, the beauty is all pervading, the beauty is macro and

micro, the beauty and perfection to the core -niRaindha sodhi veLLam.

 

3. Going by the Impact of the beauty: What is the impact of this

beauty? It has made parAnkusa nAyaki to cross from the threshold of a

woman's fortitude and patience and come out and seek for Him. The

mother and women all scold her. She says

" see from my angle. Step into my shoes. YOu see from my heart" then

you will understand my position. "en nenjinAl nOkkik kAnEr".then you

will not be angry at me. Just by going and standing in front they

were scolding her. "munninRAi enRu thozhi mArgaLum annaiyarum

munidhir" The blemishless thirukkuRungudi nambi -vazhuvil kErthi- has

attracted AzhwAr.

 

Thus, the beauty has rocked AzhwAr out of his composure made him talk

in the feminine-prEamathil peN pEachu- and knocked him out of the

inner circle of the decency and fences. This is retributed by the

womanhood around. The justification by the AzhwAr is " You kindly see

the beauty. See these from my angle"

 

 

4.Going by the pAsuram-s: this divya-dEsam not only gives us a desired

srEvaishNavic devotee in nambi, but also makes us a srEvaishNavite.

How, those who comprehend and understand this "enganEYO"

thiru-voi-mozhi 5-5 are considered as srEvaishNavites.

"aRiyak kaRRu vaLLArgal vaittaNavar Azh kadal sUzh gnAlathuLLEA" 5-5-11.
