Dearest all,

 

Let us continue to enjoy Thirumangai AzhwAr’w

wonderful verses on Thiruvenkatamudiayaan.

 

kalayaami kalidhvamsam kavim lOkadhivaakaram

yaSya kObi: prakaaSaabir aavidhyam niHatham thama:

 

I meditate on the Poet, who is like the Sun for the

whole world, to destroy the darkness of ignorance

(a~jnAnam) with his word and who destroys the Kali

dhOsham.

1.9.10

 

Emperumaan- the eye of all worlds- the life and jIvan

of all beings-of Dark hued ThirumEni like black

clouds- The One who is known by Vedas (and from Vedic

truths), The One who is worshipped by Nithyasooris-

The Lord of ThiruvEmkatam- about whom Thirumangai

mannan Kaliyan has sung these ten pAsurams and those

who read them will HAVE NO SORROWS/SINS, to their

account.

 

The Lord is the eye of all worlds. He sees them

through everyone and everything as the indweller. Not

only is He the eye’ He is also the very life in them.

He is the Supporter, Director and is the Master of all

jeevans and Achith. He manifests them inside and

outside of everything. Anthar bahischathas sarva

vyaapya nArAyaNasthitha: Just as fire is in the wood,

butter in buttermilk and get released on ignition on

churning, as the case may be, ISWARA contains in

himself all his creations and releases them according

to his will. As we cannot see with our eyes the fire

in the wood or the butter in the buttermilk or the

fetus in the womb, we cannot see him directly with our

eyes even though he is in everything.

 

Lord Krishna says "There is indeed none other than me,

none different from me, none superior to me. I am in

every thing but unseen like a collection of gems on a

string" -Soothre manigana eva – GitA – 7.7

This leads us again to the 'Sarira sariri - bhaava'

(i.e.) Body-soul relationship. ISWARA is the soul and

all other entities viz., Chetanas and Achetanas

constitute his body

What constitutes a body? There are three

characteristics' which decide what a body is.

They are:

(i)ADARATVAM (Support)

ii)NIYANTRUTVAM (Control)

(iii)SESHITVAM (Mastery)

 

(i)ADARATVAM

The body is supported by the soul. The body exists

from the time of the soul entering it while in the

mother's womb. The body continues and ultimately

perishes when the soul leaves the body. In other

words, the body is supported by the soul. As long as

the soul remains in the body the soul supports the

body, - even in the state of deep dreamless sleep.

(ii) NIYANTRUTVAM

The soul controls the body. While awake the body is

controlled by the will (Sankalpa) of the soul. The

body acts as per the will of the soul. While sleeping,

the body is controlled by the Svabhaava (nature) of

the soul.

(iii) SESHITVAM

The body exists for the fulfillment of the desire of

the soul. The soul through the mind desires something

and then the body acts accordingly. So, the body

exists only for the pleasure and purpose of the soul.

[above is an extract from Sri Anbil Ramaswamy’s

Hinduism Rediscovered book]

 

The Lord is Veda Vaedhyan- essence of all Vedas. The

One enshrined in the PraNavam.

 

These are mentioned in this divinely beautiful phala

sruthi of Thirumangai AzhwAr’s verse. Understand that

He is the indweller, life force and is the Seshi

[Master] of all jeevans. Thus, perform Saranagthi at

His Lotis Feet. You will have no more sins/ sorrows to

your account.
