Dearest all,

 

Today is Bhoothatthazhwar TN.

 

PoigaiAzhwAr, BhoothatthAzhwAr and PEyAzhwAr are the three mudhal (first)

AzhwArs who were not only contemporary azhwArs; but were born on three

consecutive days in SiddhArti year, Aiyppasi month on TiruvONam, Avittam and

sadhayam nakshathrams respectively ;and the babies appeared on flowers of

different kind (and not were born like us actually!- They are ayOnijars).

 

PoigaiAzhwAr, was born (made to appear by the Lord) in kancheepuram, while

bhoodaththAr in mahabalipuram and pEyAzhwAr in thirumylai (present Mylapore).

 

1. PoigaiAzhwAr, an incarnation of MahAvishNu's paanchjanyam (Divine conch,

sanghu in Tamil) is also called Adhi kavi. poigaiAr appeared on the ThAmarai

mottu (lotus bud) in a pond in tiruvekka near kancheepuram.

 

2. BhoothaththAzhwAr appeared in a flower called " kurukkaththi " (?) in a

garden at kadalmallai port of pallava rajyam (kingdom) in mahAbalipuram

(south of madras). He was an incarnation of Divine mace (called kaumOdaki) of

our Lord mahAvishNu.

 

3. PEyAzhwAr, as an incarnation of the sword of mahAvishNu (called nandaki),

appeared in sevvalli (Red alli-lily) flower in a well of AdhikEsava perumAL koil

at mylapore (in madras).

 

 

November 5th, 6th and 7th are the Thirunakshathams of these three Great

AzhwArs respectively on ThiruvONam, avittam and sathaya nakshathras.

 

Yesterday we enjoyed Poigai muni Thirunakshathram.

Let us pay our obeisance to Bhoothatthazhwar today on his birth star by

contemplating on the lotus feet of azhwAr and enjoying one of his verses from

2nd ThiruvanthAthi.

 

uLandhu enRu iRumaavaar uNdillai enRu

thaLardhanalathanarugum saaraar- aLvariya

vEdatthAn vEmkatatthAn viNNOr mudi thOyum

paadhatthAn pAdham paNinndhu (45th verse of irandaam thiruvanthAthi)

 

Yet another instruction to us! Let us not jump to the skies, if we (are blessed

to) get some thing (like getting a pay hike; or some bonus; a promotion,

whatever-); nor shall we feel depressed and feel remorse and cry should we miss

any thing. We should always think that everything is Bhagavath sankalpam. When

does one get sucha manObhAvam (such balanced bent of mind)? azhwAr says: It will

come to only those who have surrendered to the Lotus Feet of the Lord Sriya:

Pathi Sriman Narayanan- The Lord of Vedas- ThiruvEmakatatthaan- Srinivasan (at

whose Feet one can see the crowns of Nithyasooris). (so, now do we know how to

get a balanced mind? YES..
