A Day in the Life of our Acharyas - 78 - Bhattar and Thiruppavai

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Thiruppavai pasuram 1: 'AyppAdi'

 

As opposed to Ayodhya which is run by Vasishta and other

sages, in Ayppadi (Gokulam) all sastric rules are broken.

 

One time, Bhattar was doing a discourse on Thiruppavai.

At that time, a Srivaishnava bhAgavata of the fourth

varNa came there and stood hesitating to come in. Seeing

him Bhattar said "kUsAdhE uLLE puguvIr, ivvidam

thiruvAyppAdiyAyk kANum sellugiRathu".

 

Bhattar is saying that as they were enjoying Thiruppavai,

the place has become Ayppadi, where there are no

differences amongst devotees and all may participate

freely in the divine experience.
