Dear All, adiyen would like to continue our journey of the chozha nadu.This time-around, we are going to enjoy the most popular one, and ofcourse the purans say, this place can never be defeated, which means there is no place superior to this. aNdAy unaik kAnbathOr aruL ennakkaruludhiyEl vENdEnmanai vaazhkkaiyai viNNagarmEyavanE! (PT 6.1.3) Popularly known as Oppiliappankovil, this Divya Desam is called as "ThiruVinnagaram". Perumal's thirunAmam is Oppiliappan. ThAyAr is Bhoomi Devi thAyAr. Perumal is in standing posture. What a lovely anubhavam was it? adiyen was right there for the viswaroopam. Full of bliss. Language is a limit to describing this anubhavam. Adding to this was the archagas' reciting Azhwar's pasurams and explaning the vaibhavam of Perumal. Thirumangai Azhwar has thoroughly enjoyed this Perumal. aNdAy unaik kAnbathOr aruL ennakkaruludhiyEl vENdEnmanai vaazhkkaiyai viNNagarmEyavanE! (PT 6.1.3) Azhwar addressed arul first as a bAgyam or koduppinai or the "gathi" to have the prathyaksha drashanam of ThiruvinnagarAn. Secondly he is asking the same as a boon or something divinley given ie., the word

aruL is addressed as as a boon. For Srivaishnavites, bAgavatha sambandham is the most significant one. When it comes to this particular Divya Desam, adiyen needs to mention the bAgavatha who has really turned adiyen into the sampradAyam with lots of inputs on Azhwars and Acharyas work. adiyen feels this also a bAgyam other than just the darshan of Oppiliappan. He is none but Sadagopan mama who writes a lot in these groups. Let us continue the journey of chozha nadu from the next posting. adiyen, ramanan
