SRI ALAVANDAR VAIBHAVAM-5

 

Aalavandar and his sishyas reached the place where kurugaikAvalappan was in

yOgam. Not wanting to disturb him from his samAdhi state, they were extra

cautious to, not to sneeze or cough or even make slightest of the sound due to

footsteps and hid themselves behind a wall. After sometime, appan got out of his

yOgam and asked, “Is there anyone over here who belongs to chottai kulam

(Acharya kulam)? Hearing this Alavandar came forward and said “adiyen yamunai

thuraivar here” and fell in the feet of appan. Then yamunai thuraivar

surprisingly asked appan “how you came to know that we were here, when we were

hiding behind a wall”? For this appan replied, “when I and emperuman were deeply

involved in our anubhavams, he was least perturbed, even when piratti approached

him with love. But the same sarvEswaran tried to see someone, pressing my

shoulders, three or four times”. Then I came to a conclusion that somebody from

chottai kulam must be present over here. Alavandar was astonished by this reply

and with great respects, requested appan to give him the yoga rahasyam. Appan

also accepted to teach him the same, but at a later time, before he leaves this

body and this world (sarErAvasanam).

 

He also told Aalavandar that, the next pushya maasam, gurupushya yogam, and

Abhijinmuhurtham would be the date of his departure from this samsaric world.

Not stopping with this, he also gave this in writing and told him to come before

the said date. Accepting this, Alavandar returned back to Srirangam (Periya

Kovil)

 

Then on a day of thiruvadhyayanam of Namperumal, while listening to

thiruvadhyayanam, Azhwar thiruvaranga perumal arayar recited and acted the

verses from ThiruvAimozhi starting with “kedum Edar”. Arayar looked into the

face of Alavandar and repeated the line “nadaminO namargallulleer

nAmmumakkariyach chonnOm” (Start now! I am saying for you to understand) number

of times. Alavandar on listening to this thought that, it is high time for him

to leave for Anandapuram, to have the darshan of emperuman, as per the wish of

Azhwar. Hence he sought the permission from Namperumal and left for

Thiruvanandapuram. He also instructed DeivavAri Aandaan to be the in charge

until his return.

 

Aalavandaar thereby reached thiruvanandapuram and had good darshan of emperuman

and stayed there doing service to emperuman (“padamudai aravil palli payindra

anandapuraththu ammAn”). Meanwhile, one fine day he asked his shisyas to get

the document given by kurugaikAvalappan specifying his departure from this

samsAra mandalam and to his surprise and sorrow found the day on the document to

be that day. He was shock struck and felt bad that he didn’t have a pushpaka

vimAnam(today’s flight) to fly to see appan breathe his last and also get the

yoga rahasyam from him.
