GhAnam ketta Perumal-8 (Concluding)

Dear All,

A walk along the beach with a nice treat of cold moon light and gentle

breeze is something anyone would like. Thirumangai Azhwar did not like

this ambience. Instead, he felt the other way. He felt that the moon

light was like fire. The breeze was something that was actually

fuelling this impact with its force on the beach side. This was the

expereince of Parakala Nayaki in the absence of her lover, Nambi. She

felt that she was not blessed by Nambi, and hence requested everyone

to carry and put her in Thirukkurungudi, where she believed she could

get Moksham. Here is the beautiful pasuram of Thirumangai Azhwar in

Periya Thirumozhi,

thavaLa iLampiRai thuLLumunNnNIrth thaNmalarth theNnRalO

daNnRiloNnRith thuvaLa,eNn Nnenchagam chOravIrum choozhpaNni

mainNdhumuNn koNdupONna kuvaLai malarnNiRa vaNNarmaNnNnu kuRuNGgudik

kEyeNnNnai yuyththidumiNn

Azhwar proudly says that he knows completely about this Perumal. If we

look at this fact, we would not be surprised. The reason is very

simple. Vedanta tried by itself to completely talk about Nambi, and

hence failed. Where as Azhwar was able to completely talk about Nambi

because Azhwar did not make an attempt, instead Nambi made Azhwar to

talk about Him. Azhwar called Nambi by the name Perarulalan. He says

that Nambi had so much of vAtsalyam that He decided to live

permenantly in Azhwar’s heart. Nambi’s heart in turn is adorned by

Thirumagal (Thayar).

In the next 10 pasurams, Azhwar refers to Shivan here. The unique

speciality of Kaliyan is the combined anubhavam of archai, vibhavam,

puranam and Divya Desam itself. Here is the first pasuram in this

pathigam,

akkum puliyiNn adhaLum udaiyaar avaroruvar, pakkam nNiRka nNiNnRa

paNbar oor_pOlum thakka maraththiNn thaazhchiNnai yERi, thaayvaayil

kokkiNn piLLai veLLiRa vuNNum kuRuNGgudiyE

He calls Shivan as Pakkam Nindrar. Shivan requested Perumal during

Vamana avataram to give him a place beside Him after getting

sanctified by the Hari Padha Theertham. Vamanan lived in this place

in a small hut. That is why this place is called Thirukkurungudi and

also as Siddhashramam in sanskrit.

Azhwar refers to the relationship of protector and protected in this

pasuram. Even the crane here is protecting its child. That is the

beauty of Divya Desam. From the lives in Divya Desam we can make out

that the One who is here as Nambi will protect all of us.

If we can recite the above 10 pasurams starting from akkum puliyum

even with out any attempt to worship or know about Nambi, still all

our sins will get burnt by Nambi. Azhwar claims that he has sung

these pasurams just in line with vedanta.

In summary, we have seen that Nambi is the one and only Perumal who

has got direct sambandham with ‘Parankusa-Parakal-Yativarar. Because

of His Grace, NamPaduvan, a bhakta born in lower caste got Moksham.

Today happens to be Kaisika Ekadasi. He is also the only archai

Perumal to house all HIs states of existance.

This Nambi was the One who listened to ghAnam of Araiyars by hiding behind the shade of avarai kodi,

‘valar araiayr thiru munbhu avarai pandhal nizhalil nindru van ghAnam ketta Perumal’

Araiyars used ot live in a street called BahshyakAra street. In the

present days, araiyars from Srivilliputtur visit Thirukkurungudi.

‘solai suzh Nambikku mangalam, andar konum aranum adivaravum Nambikku

mangalam, Krungudi nindra Nambiku mangalam’

aDiyEn requests all the BhAgavatAs to visit Nambi whenever possible.

Words are not enough to describe His beauty. Beauty is very

comprehendable by just the darshan. Unlike Badri, where we cant get

in the stage of 'mutramoothu kol thunai and thandukAlAl oondri

oondri, we all can visit Then Badri (South Badri, Thirukkurungudi) at

any stage of life.

aDiyEn apologises for any errors in this series.
