Dear BhakthAs :

 

Today is a specail day . AdiyEn was born on this Panguni Kettai day

under the Thiruvadi Nizhal of Sri Bhumi Devi SamEtha

ThiruviNNagarappan ( Oppilaa Appan ) . adiyEn's father named me as

"SaThakOpan " because of JyEshtA (Kettai) Nakshathram,

which is the avathAra Nakshathram of Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar .

Our family for generations have been devout sishyAs

of SrI Ahobila Matam . adiyEn has been blessed with SamAsrayaNam from

HH the 43rd Jeeyar ( Sri VeerarAghava YathIndhra

MahA Desikan , DEvanArviLAgam Azhagiya Singar ) and Bhara NyAsam from

Prakrutham HH the 45th Pattam Jeeyar ,

Sri VaNN SaThakOpa Sri NaarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA Desikan .

 

Having been born in the dhivya dEsam of Oppiliappan Koil ( AakAsa

Nagaram , VyOma Puri, Thiru ViNNagar) , the ten Paasurams

of Swamy NammAzhwAr , the thirty Paasurams of Thirumangai and the two

other Paasurams of Mudhal AzhwArs on ThiruviNNagarAn

are very dear to me. Few months back , SrI MaadhvakkaNNan(MK) of

Srirangam and Simhapuri placed a set of postings on ThiruviNNagaram

postings in Oppilappan Web pages created by SrIman ShrEya Sarangan of

Bangalore ( http://www.oppiliappan.org/ ) . Those postings of Sri MK

had to be brief because Sri MK was covering the entire ThiruvAimozhi

and Periya Thirumozhi of Kaliyan , an assembly of more than 2,000

Paasurams , a gigantic feat spanning many months . Sri MK has

distinguished himself with such a noble kaimkaryam already and is now

moving on to coverage of the Vaibhavam of Lord VenkatEsa of Thirumala

( Malayappa Swamy

) . Another devout Bhaktha of ThiruviNNagarappan , Sri

Thirukkudanthai Sampath Rengarajan has been posting research articles

on the individual words like " tEnE " in Thirumangai's pasurams on

Oppiliappan . He plans to continue this series . Meanwhile , adiyEn

detected a gap

between the postings of SrI MK and Sri RengarAjan and therefore adiyEn

has taken the initiative to provide additional , personal

anubhavam of Oppiliappan Paasurams of Kaliyan . Sriman VaanamAmalai

Padmanabhan of Chennai , who is sharing the moving

poetry and Bhagavath anubhavam of Kaliyan ( He has come up to 5th

Thirumozhi of Thirumangai : Nandhipura ViNNagaram ) will be

the appropriate dhivya Prabhandha Rasikar ( Like Srimathy Sumithra

Varadarajan) to provide the deeper anubhavams of PoorvAchAryas

like Swamy PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai . adiyEn invites Srimans Padmanabhan

and Rengarajan in payying their tribute to Sri BhUmi Devi

SamEtha SrI Oppillaa Appan in the coming weeks .of this year .

 

 

ThiruviNNagarappan is SravaNa VenkatEsan . He is considered as the

elder to Lord VenkatEsa of Thirumala . Another devout bhakthA

of Thirumalai SrinivAsan and adiyEn are building a comprehensive web

site for Sri PadmAsani SamEtha Sri SrinivAsan of ThiruvEnkatam . These

web pages will compliment the information already at Thiruvinnagaram

web pages to pay our tribute to

SrinivAsa Tatthvam ( BrahmaNi SrinivAsE nyastha Manas ) .

 

Today , adiyEn will send the thirty Paasurams and their meanings a

sprovided by Sri MK and share my reflections paasuram by Paasuram

inthed days to come in anticipation of their elaborations by Srimans

VaanamAmalai PadmanAbhan and Thrikudanthai Sampath

Rengarajan .

Sri V. Madhavakkannan ( srivaishnavan (AT) hotmail (DOT) com)

Sri:

I know all of you are going to be delighted to see this series which

is on "than oppaaril appan" - Oppiliappan (peerless- unmatcheed,

unparalleled Lord..). (called ThiruViNNagaram Divya Desam.) Sri

SatagOpar (NammAzhwAr) says "ennappan, enakkaay iguLaay- ennai

Devas and devotees (thoNdar) pay their obeisance offering most

fragrant flowers at Your Feet, When You stood in the yaagham of Bhali

and measured the vast earth with Your Feet! Oh SwamI!! Oh Lord! (the

One who rules me!) Please grant me the bliss of seeing You and let me

be blessed with Your darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! ( I ) Don’t want

ThiruppaaRkadal, when You were mercifully helping Devas in their

churning of wavy milky ocean! When Devas enjoyed drinking the amudham

(nectar), You enjoy Periya PiraaTTi (in Your chest), who also came out

of the churning.. Please grant me the bliss of seeing You and let me

be blessed with Your darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! ( I ) Don’t

Kuzhal niRa vaNNA! Oh Lord, who has the dark hair like colour!

Utilising service (kaimkaryam) of Sivan (the one who shares a part of

Your ThirumEni), red fire like coloured one), You made him destroy and

burn Thiripuram! (How?) By letting Yourself into that big

mountain-like bow, getting bent and into that sharp fiery, fire ball

like arrow (from that bow), You performed the whole show! Please

grant me the bliss of seeing You and let me be blessed with Your

darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! ( I ) Don’t want this samsaaric

affliction.4. nilavoduveyil n^ilavi_irusudarum* ulagamum uyir_kaLum

The two lustrous ones on the sky- the Sun; the moon; and the seven

and let me be blessed with Your darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! ( I

Saptha dweepams, ((Seven worlds), Seven oceans; Seven mountains; - for

with crown made of fresh most fragrant flowers! Oh Lord, who shows

Your most divinely Beautiful form and saves me! (PuNNiyanE!) The

mating (pleasure) that young women give / yield (vinai vEdhanai) is

the entirety of sorrows and leads to perennial samsaaric afflictions.

Thinking further on that line, makes me shiver with fear. Hence, I

approach Your Feet! Please grant me the bliss of seeing You and let

me be blessed with Your darshan.! Oh Lord of ViNNagaram! ( I ) Don’t

Sivan (the greatest trio of Devas) et al..! Realising the birth and

death vicious cycles, and the endlessness of that, with no further

desire (for future births), I have held on to Your Feet! Please grant
