SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA

APPAN THIRUVADIGALE SARANAM.

INSPIRATION.1.

Dear Bhagavathas, Accept adiyen’s pranam.

22.4.07 is a special day for Srivaishnavas.

It is the annual birth day of Emperumanar..Ramanujachariar

There will be celebrations at temples and other places in the usual fashion.

Adiyen am submitting an article in a different fashion for our introspection.

Sri Ramanuja was a different type of religious leader logical, humane and invincible during his time.

‘ PANTHARU MARAN PASUMTHAMIZH AANANTHAM PAYEE MATHAMAYE

VINDIDA

ENGAL RAMANUJA MUNI VEZHAM MEYMAIKONDA NAL VEDHA KOZHUNDHANDAMENTHI’

(Ramanuja, the invincible elephant fortified with Maran’s musical,tender verses is here to explain the vedic verses. It will be joyous occasion. Opponents’! you have no chance to win over him (Ramanuja Nooranthadhi.64.)

YES. Ramanuja’s inspiration was Thiruvaimozhi.

‘BHASHYAKARAR ITHUKONDE SUTRA VAKKYANKALAI ORUNGAVIDUVAR.’

( Acharya Hrudayam 65)( Ramanuja will explain Brahma sutra with the help of Thiruvaimozhi)

What is the greatness of Thiruvaimozhi?

Thiruvaimozhi is a beautiful garden of philosophy and emotional experiences.

The delight you may get is to be obtained by exposure to explanations of great Acharyas.

If you can spare a little time and have a mind and patience, let us try to enjoy.

The last 10 verses of Thiruvaimozhi “MUNIYE NANMUKANE…” is philosophical treat.

Let us have a glimpse of 4th Pasuram.

‘UMBARANTHAN PAAZHEYOO’ ATHANUL MISAI NEEYO YO

AMBARARA NAR CHOTHI ATHANUL PIRAMAN, ARAN, NEE

UMBARUM YADAVARUM PADAITHA MUNIVAN AVAN NEE

EMBARAM CHATHIKKALURRU ENNAI POORA VITITAYEE ‘

“UMBARAM “ ..Great..Superior

“AM” …..”Azhaku”..beautiful

“Than”….”Cool or pleasant”

‘PAAZH’…Vast space useful for cultivation.”

A vast never ending mysterious infinite space.

This is fertile place for creation.

CREATION?

Is anything new to be made now?

NO.

Everything exists already in the space in a sub atomic stage. They are not perceptible to senses or gadgets. They will be brought out at the appropriate time for functioning

That is termed as “Creation”

“Aakasath Vayuhu..”

Vaayor Agni”

“Athappya Prithivee” and so on….”Annath Purushah”(Thatriyopa Upanishad .Aananda valli)

Creation or revelations from micro to mega stage have started.

It has reached the stage of mutations of basic 5 elements for the formation of bodies to function as living things.

Who does all these changes.?

It is “BRAHMAM”

The energy of life (jeevathma) is to be mixed with the body.

Initially the super force does the creation (revelation) of basic elements and jeevans.

Later, the function of mixing the jeevas with appropriate bodies according to their past karmas is entrusted to “NANMUKAN’ or 4 headed Brahma.

Piraman(Brahma), Aran, Devas and other demi gods belong to the Jeeva order.

They get their respective bodies according to their effects of past karmas.

So, energy (live force is mixed with matter (body) to function as living things to continue their respective function in continuation of their last existence.(before Pralaya)

or state of rest.

Piraman and other demi gods are all Jeevas only. They cannot create themselves though they are more energetic than humans.

So, who is the person or highest force that is responsible for all these works?

A greatest force which has no parallel to it. Itself does this without any help.

He is the architect of Leela vibhuthi /Samsara/Universe.

It pervades everything at all times. They cannot exist without it.

The created living things (jeevathmas) while functioning may commit mistakes or may have short falls in their actions or there may failures.

They only are responsible for these actions and such things will not affect the super force.

WHY DO THEY COMMIT MISTAKES?

Un limited attractions leading to desire.

They overestimate themselves culminating in arrogance.

They consider themselves that they can do anything.
