******************

Tirukkachi NambigaL, who had the greatest special blessed privilege

of conversing with Sri Varadaraja PerumAL Himself. He was blessed

with this extraordinary privilege for performing the Thiruvaalavatta

(fanning) kaimkaryam to PerumAL with utmost bhakti and involvement.

In fact, NambhigaL (KaanchipoorNar) was born to Sri vaishnava

Vaisiya (Chettiar) kula Sri Veeraraghava Chettiar and Kamalai at

Poovirundhavalli. Though his parents were quite wealthy and were

successful businessmen, NambhigaL had his mind only on Bhagawath,

BhAgawatha kaimkaryam.

 

He became a sishya of Sri YamunAcharyar (Sri Alavandhar) along with

other sishyas namely, Periya Nambhi (Sri mahApoorNar),

ThirukkOttiyoor Nambhi, and others. Sri Alavandhar named NambhigaL

as pEraruLaaLa dAsar, while Sri Varadaraja PerumAL (PeraruLALan)

Himself named him as GajEndra dAsar. NambhigaL is the one who showed

Ramaujar to Alavandhar from afar at Kanchipuram Sri

VaradarajaperumAL temple. Ramanuja, after breaking up

from Yadavaprakasar, (when he was doing theertha kaimkaryam at

Varadaraja PerumAL Koil) approached Thirukkaccchi nambhigaL and

learnt tatvaartham from him. Thirukkacchinambhi is the one who asked

(on request from RamanujA) Sri Varadaraja PerumAL and obtained from

Lord Varadaraja the famous ' Six Words ' and passed them on to

RamanujA. The six words are: (as told by Lord Varadarja Himself to

NambhigaL)

 

1 ahamEva Parathvam. I- "Lord Narayana" is the Paramatma.

2 dharsnam bhEda Eva cha. :Individual souls are different from

Paramatma.

3 upAyEshu prapatthisyAth- Prapatti (SaranAgathy- Complete

Surrender) is the means to attain mOksham.

4 antima smruthi varjanam- Last remembrance of the Lord on the death

bed is NOT necessary.

5 DhEhaavasaanE mukthisyAth- mOksham can be obtained the moment one

(prapannan) lays off the present mortal body 6 PoorNaachaarya

smaashrayam- MahApoorNar (Periya Nambhi) is the AchAryan for

RamanujA, under whom RamanujA should take refuge.

 

Thus, Thirukkacchi became most important Sri Vaishnava link for ALL

OF all of us. Though he was born in Vaisya kulam, he was greatly

revered by YathirAjar.
