Dearest all

 

Today - Thai makam is Thirumazhisai AzhwAr's Thirunakshathram.

He had studied first, buddhism, then Jainism and later became a saivite

calling himself as " sivavaakkiyar, till he was transformed by pEyAzhwAr into a

great bhaktha of Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan. (He had even composed a pAsuram

" sakkiyam kaRROm; samaN kaRROm; sankaranaar aakkiya aagama noolaRindhOm; etc..)

 

The AzhwAr was so straight forwarded, outspoken, fearless and established the

oneness and supremacy of Sriman nArAyaNan and sri vaishNavam. He became an

exemplary Sri vaishNava AcharyA and it is told that he spent about 700 years

meditating on TiruvallikkeNi perumAL Sri vEnkata krishNan.

 

Here's Thirumazhisai Vandha jOthi's Naanmukhan Thiruvandhaadhi, 1st and

96th. Beautiful...

 

First.. Thaniyan on Thirumazhisai AzhwAr's Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi

 

NaaraayaNan padaitthaan naanmuganai* naanmuganukku/

yEraar sivan piRandhaan ennum chol*- seeraar/

mozhi seppi vaazhalaam nenjamE!* moi poo/

mazhisaip piraan adiyE vaazhtthu.

 

NarayaNan created Brahman (the four headed one). From this BrahmA,

Siva was born. Such greatest TRUTH was asserted by ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr.

Recite his pAsurams and get saved, Oh Mind!. Praise ThirumazhisaiAzhwAr's Feet.

 

AchAryAs enjoy this AzhwAr's works, and address them as the sword

that has been taken out of its cover (from the waist band) to destroy

" other " non- truthful, false notions and doctrines and to establish that

Sriya:pathi Sriman NarayananE is Parathvam and AzhwAr has NOT still put the

sword back (since the false notion still lingers...!!).

 

Since the 1st pAsuram starts with " Naanmuganai " , this work is called

" Naanmugan Thiruvandhaadhi (NMT in short).

 

1.NarayaNan created BrahmA (naanmugan- four faced one); BrahmA

(thus became the instrument) and created the universe starting with

Sankaran. And this I have been blessed to announce in this most

important truth. Oh People! you all see, understand the truth in

this and don't let it get out of your mind. MahOpanishad declares this

truth that Narayanan is the One who cause of creation for all dEvAs

through BrahmA whom He first created. (Thus, AzhwAr implies, " by getting to

know the Creator, and the births of BrahmA and Sivan, you all can get rid of

your future births " .)

(A LOVELY pAsuram! An assertive POSITIVE Truth strongly given to us by the One

who had searched everywhere; went into Saivism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc.. and was

initiated by pEyAzhwAr; He has blessed us with these GREATEST TRUTHS AND HIS

FINAL VERDICT. Let us HAVE NO DOUBTS AT ALL FOR HE HAS DONE A THOROUGH RESEARCH

ON OTHER SECTS TOO! And found the Ultimate Parathvam in Sriman Narayanan!)

 

EmperumaanE! I have now known about You, who is the Lord of BrahmA and

Sivan; who is my Lord also; who is the Cause of all worlds; who is the

essence of all that has been known; all that we are going to know; who is Sriman

Narayanan, the One who is so merciful to protect (us), without expecting

anything (from us); You have such Grandest Most auspicious attributes with

You!); - All of these knowledge- I HAVE NOW (BEEN BLESSED WITH).
