bhOgyAmrutam - bhUta bhavya bhavath prabhuhu

[Guest guest]

bhUta bhavya bhavath prabhuhu (star-aSwini) : The one who is the Lord (swAmi) of

everyone/everything at all times (past, present and future).

 

Poem : perumAL Tirumozhi –2-6 ( KulaSEkharALwAr TiruvadigaLE SaraNam )

 

[ Before continuing with this post, a message from my father in the context of

Sri KulaSEKharALwAr’s pASuram :

“This work of BhOgyAmrutam started with blessings of Sri Ramanuja. Here Sri

Ramanuja had called upon Sri KulaSEkharALwAr to enjoy this divine nectar. So,

Sri Ramanuja was considered to be the convener and Sri KulaSEkharALwar as the

chair person who used to invite each Alwar to present His pASuram. Thus, this

work was carried out by Sri Ramanuja and Sri KulaSEkharALwAr. And we proceed

praying to their SrI pAdams, to give us an oppurtunity to enjoy the anubhavams

of all our AlwArs.”]

 

Brief Interpretation with the poem: You are the Lord of those who exist. This

tag of real existence can be given only to those who are eternally in communion

with you. In the past, they were your divine ornaments & weapons. Currently,

they are decorating all these worlds as our AchAryAs & AlwArs. In the future,

they will be again shining as your divine ornaments and matchless weapons. In

this way, you have become their Lord at all times. Thus you get the name bhUta

bhavya bhavath prabhuhu.

 

Others who do not realize their svarUpam are equal to non-existing. Through our

AchAryAs & AlwArs, you give us our svarUpa jnAnam and thus make us the servants

of your great devotees. Thus you are the Lord of all, at all times.

 

Poem in English :

1) The source (beginning), the end, the infinite, the amazing one & the

controller of the nitya sUrIs.

2) We do not have Bhakti to decorate your SrI pAdams (divine feet).

3) O Lord, you show the spotless & sublime path (to elevate us).

4) My mind is extremely eager to serve the great devotees of such Lord (who

moves everywhere & reclines in SrIrangam) lovingly for any number of lives to

come.
