NaarAr indai naanmalar kondu - 8

[Guest guest]

SwAmi Nam AzhwAr in the first ThriuvAiMozhi talks of Supremacy of the

Lord, prescribed do-s and donts in the second, fainted on realising

the saulabyam of the EmperumAn, in third, sent ambassadors in the

fourth, experiences The Almighty's SEla guNam in the fifth and

explains that worshipping HIm is the simplest thing, in the sixth. In

this he declares that a flower will do for this divine purpose. '

...purivadhuvum pugai,pUvEA' 1-6-1 of ThiruvAi-mOzhi.

Sri Thirumangai Mannan, who follows the footsteps of mARAn and goes on

to elucidate the teachings of parAnkusan, explains not only the

efficacy of worhsip with flowers but also goes on to narrate various

flowers. That he dedicates these to his beloved ThirukkuRunkudi nambi

is well known.

'nArAr iNDai' The dense flower, the mullai in the kollai, the kuravu

malar, the scent of mountain flower all adorn this divya-dhEsam-s.

Muster these as a garland and place it fresh at the thiruvadi of

Nambi, recommends Kaliyan.

Here comes the masterpiece in this regard.

'Go for the unique flower and submit it at the eternal flower' is Sri

Nam-AzhwAr's pAsuram. What is the unique flower and is there a flower

which never gets spoilt? Yes. The unique flower is ones

'jEVAthmA'-Athma pushpam- and the eternal -blemishless flower is His

Thiruvadi. Submit Your soul to EmperumAn, is the prescripiton.

'nADAdha malar nADi nAdORum nArANanthan-vADAdha malaraDik kEzh vaikkava vagukkinRu--" 1-4-9;

This is what kaliyan did. No sooner he entered ThirukkuRunkudi he

realised the joy in this divya-dhEsam. He ultimately settled down

there. Apparantly, the Almighty had salvaged his soul there and he

spent the rest of his life, as if this is Thiru-nAdu.

What a Great thing. Despite pirATTi around, the Lord settles in his

mind. A great grace '..ThirumAmagaLaip peRRum ..en nenjidam kOil

koNdA pEAr aruLALan.." 9-5-10; Periya ThiruMozhi.

What is Great life for one? The retrieval of our soul from the wordly

attachments and eternal kainkaryam at His divine feet. Thirumangai

mannan fell at vadivazhagiya nambi and lives there eternally and

worhsips the Lord in place of swAmi nAm-AzhwAr -Thiruvadi thozhal in

adhyayana utsavam. The final journey towards parama-padham is on

granting vision to kaliyan who leaves this world permanently having

the vision of Nambi-malai nambi.

That Nambi had indeed elevated Him and escalated him to exalted level

is crystal clear from the words "Hey SrEvaishNavites.Come on! See

here. This is life . This ThirukkuRunkudi has given the real vAzhvu'

and that is kaliyan for you having presented his jEvAthmA at the lotus

feet of ThirukkuRunkudi nambi proclaiming to one and all

'VAzhak kaNdoAm' 9-6-3; of Periya ThiruMozhi vAzhak kaNDOam vandhu kANmin thoNdErgALaDiyEn,ramanan
