Bhagavad Ramanuja Vaibhavam- 1.31- Swami Nammaazhawaar is the chief of all azhwaars

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya nama:

 

NammAzhwAr is also considered as the Chief of all AzhwArs and is also

reported as the One constituted by other AzhwArs as the parts of his

form. BhUthathAzhwAr as siras (head), Poigai and pEyAzhwAr as his eyes,

PeriyAzhwAr as his Thirumukham (face), Thirumazhisai vandha jOthi as his neck,

KulasEkara PerumAL and ThiruppANan as His two hands,

ThirumangaiAzhwAr as his chest and Thondaradippodi as his navel.

Madhurakavi as his Thiruvadi (Lotus Feet) and Emperumaanaar Sri

RamanujAchArya as Divya pAdukAs of NammAzwAr. Swami Desikan has equated Lord

Sri RanganAtha PadukA to NammAzhwAr Sri SatagOpar in toto. Hence, all Sri

vaishNava temples, the Emperumaan’s Divya PadukA is called “sataari†or

“satakOpamâ€.

 

Such Greatest AzhwAr, by being away and separated from the Lord, born in this

earthly world, longed to have a darshan of Emperumaan Sriya:

pathih. He suffered with terrible pangs of love and languishing with a

nAyikA bhAvam, as Paraangusa nAyaki. Due to the grace of Divya Dampatis,

He was blessed with growing Para bhakti, ParajnAnam and Parama bhakthi,

and was shown the arcchiraadhi maargam too (refer 10.9), welcomed by

Nithya sUris.

 

After living for 35 years he wished to reach His abode (and so did the

Lord, too). Madhrakavi's eyes were welled with tears and was immensely

pleased and excited when he saw his AchAryA became one with the Lord and united

with Him. Simultaneously, he was also blessed with a swarNa

vigrahA (Golden statute) of nammazhwAr which he consecrated at the Tamarind

tree. He performed daily ArAdhanA to his AzhwAr and even ignored the Lord Sriman

nArAyaNana since then. (He composed KaNNinun chiRutthaambhu†ten verses on

NammAzhwAr that we enjoyed earlier)

 

Our NammAzhwAr has always the most favourite for Sri RamAnujA , Sri

vEdAntha dEsikA, Sri PiLLai lOkAchAryA, Periyavaacchaan PiLLai, Sri

MaNavaaLa maamunigaL and all Great seers of visishtAdvaita, till the

AchAryAs of present times.

 

What NammAzhwAr celebrated in his Thiruvaimozhi was the Brahma soothrAs . These

are 545 in number and when you add them (5+4+5) , we get a figure of 14

suggesting Chathurdasa Bhuvanams (Fourteen Universes ).NammAzhwAr's

Thiruvaimozhi , just as Brahma soothrams cover everything in our Lord's 14

lokams.

 

NammAzhwAr, on the 21st day of adhyayana uthsavam, was blessed with the

“kaitthala sEvai†of Emperumaan Lord RanganAthA and was taken to His Feet,

at ThirumaamaNimaNdapam for eternal, permanent Nithya vaasam at Sri Vaikunatm at

His Feet, for performing eternal kaimkaryam to Divya Dampathis. Even today, this

NammAzhwAr mOksha vaibhava uthsavam is celebrated at Sri Rangam temple. The

AzhwAr’s DivyamangaLa vigraham is taken to Emperumaan NamperumAL, and is

gently placed (in prostrating

form) at His Feet,. ThuLasi leaves are offered to AzhwAr at the Lord’s

FEET until the AzhwAr Vigraham is completely immersed in Thirutthuzhaay

at Emperumaan’s Feet. It is a Great Feeling to have a darshan of this

mahOthsavam and soul stirring to witness this NammAzhwAr mOksha

vaibhavam at Sri Rangam.
