Sri Ramanuja Journal Volume 9, Issue 2 Posted by: "Varavaramuni Dasargal" varavaramuni pedhajeeyar Mon Jun 25, 2007 1:42 pm (PST) *Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha**Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha ** **Ani, SarvajithAzhvar 9, Acharya 2** **"midhunam svAthijam vishnO: radhAmsam thanvina: pure ** prapatyE svasuramvishnOr vishNuchittam purassikam"** **Periazhvar' s Divine Service** **Periyaazhvar was born in pandiya nAdu, Srivilliputtur in Aani month, swathithirunakshatram, in vEyar kulam and was named vishnuchitta. Due to thedivine grace of vadaperunkoil udaiyAn, was blessed with the divinekainkaryam to the lord. Analysing what would please the lord, to chooseas kainkaryam, remembering the story of malakara in krishnavatara, to whomKrishna went on his own requesting for garland, periazhvar cultivated agarden and started making garlands for the lord. ** **Message from Pandiya King** **One day, the king of Madurai, belonging to the pandiya clan, namedsrivallabhadeva, went in the night for nagarasOdhana. He saw a person lyingoutside a house. The king in disguise waked him and asked 'who are you'. Theperson answered that he was a brahmin and was returning after divine dip inthe Ganges. The king asked: "Then tell me some dharma/moral that you know"** **Brahmin replied: For the usage during the rainy session we are supposed toearn in the rest of the 8 months; For the sake of night earn in the morning;For the sake of old age earn during your youth; For the sake of paralokaearn all in this birth ** **Pandiya calls for a sadhas** **The king was intelligent and hence he immediately started thinking "For me,I have all the pleasures in this world but how to earn for the paralokam?"Not being able to come to a conclusion, in the morning the king called hispurohita selva nambi and asked, "How do we find out the paratattvam that iscapable of giving all the 4 types of purusharthas? " ** **Nambi said, "Call all the vidwans and they will tell you how to do'paratattva Nirnayam'"** **The king accepted and made a bag full of gold and hanged it infront of thesabha mandapam (courtyard) and announced that "whoever establishes theparatattvam with pramanas (vaidhika pramanas) will be gifted with this bagof gold. ** **Many pandits from all over the world were crowded in the hall.** **Vishnuchitta' s dream** **At that time, the lord in srivilliputtur wanting to show the paratattvam tothe world as told by the vedanthas through vishnuchitta appeared in thedream of visnhuchitta and ordered, "you go to Madurai immediately and proveto the king that sriman Narayana alone is the paramAtma (supreme lord) andget the bag of gold" Vishnuchitta enquired, "Oh! Lord I am an ignorantperson with no knowledge of the sastras. How can I do this?"** **Lord replied,"Why are you bothered about that? Is that not my worry?" Andthe lord disappeared. ** **Vishnuchitta proves the Vishnu paratvam** **Amazed by the dream, vishnuchitta decided to do as per the orders of thelord and proceeded towards the pandiya's court. On seeing vishnuchitta, theking and the purohita both had a special feeling and hence they welcomedvishnuchitta with special honors. The other pandits out of jealouslyobjected this but selva nambi silenced all of them and requestedVishnuchitta to proceed to do paratattva nirnayam. Meditating on theultimate grace of the supreme lord in his dream, vishnuchitta was able tovisualize all the great sastrarthas in his mind. Thereby, with innumerablepramanas from sruthi, smrithi, itihasas and puranas, vishnuchitta raised alot of question and answered himself and established that,*1. *Srivaishnava philosophy is The philosophy*2. *Sriman Narayana alone is The paratattvam*3. * The best way to attain the ultimate goal is doing saranagathiunto the divine feet of the supreme lord.**After the long elaborated lecture by vishnuchitta, no vidwan over therecould even open this mouth. The king and selva nambi fell down andprostrated vishnuchitta, admiring his deep knowledge and clarity. The bagof gold automatically fell to azhvar's feet which azhvar accepted as thegrace of god.** **Vishnuchitta becomes pattarbiran and gets darshan of emperuman** **Seeing that the king, the purohita and all the other pandits prostratedazhvar and made him sit on the royal elephant and they themselves didservices like holding the umbrella, fanning etc and went in processionthrough the streets. Since vishnuchitta proved to be head of all pandits,the king adorned with a special name 'pattarbiran' and greatly celebratedhim. Many divine instruments were played (thiruchinnam, conch of victory)and there was a great celebration (mahotsavam) . When such a celebrationwas happening for his devotee, can the lord keep quiet? HE came runningfrom paramapadam along with his consort on top of periya thiruvadi (garuda)and gave darshan to azhvar. ** **Azhvar sings Thiruppallandu** **Azhvar was not proud or amazed to see the lord as he felt like parentscoming to enjoy the victory of their son. Before immersing himself in theall pervading, omnipotent, omnipresent nature of the supreme lord, azhvarfirst immersed himself in the divine beauty and personality of the lord andthereby diving deep into the devotion thereby forgetting himself and thesupremacy of the lord, "Oh! The lord of paramapadam the place of eternalbliss has come down to this land of samsaram, filled with evil spells. Whatwill happen to him?" feared azhvar, "Oh! May this divine beauty be devoid ofany evil eyes" Thereby azhvar started doing mangalasasanams by using thebells on the elephant to be the tAla (cymbals) and sang the divyaprabhanda"Thiruppallandu" ** **Birth of Periazhvar thirumozhi** **Later, azhvar made the king who surrendered to him as a part of bhagavathaghosti and returned back to srivilliputhur. He used the bag of wealth, tobuild the gopura in srivilliputhur and continued his nandavana kainkaryam.Since, azhvar was involved deeply in krishnavataara, he couldn't stop hisdevotion that overflowed as a divyaprabhanda called "Periazhvar Thirumozhi".** **Azhvar gives weath to Ranganatha** **Azhvar on an Adipooram day found a child in his garden under a tulasiplant. **He named the child "kOdhai" and brought her up. She was a divinechild who helped her father with all his divine services to the Lord. Andwhen age came she aspired to marry Krishna (her father's beloved deity)about whom she has heard so much from her father. Due to her deep wish tomarry the Lord, she used to wear the garland that was supposed to be takento the temple and then keep in back in place without the knowledge ofperiazhvar. Once azhvar saw that and considered that to be a great mistake,but the Lord appeared in his dreams and said that he enjoyed wearing thegarlands that was worn by kOdhai. From that day she was called"soodikkoduththa nAchiyAr", "Andal". Later as per the order of the lord,periazhvar gave andal in wedding to ranganatha and thereby he became,"svasuraamaravanthy am" father in law of the lord like janaka.** **Why did pattarbiran get the name periazhvar and the droplets from hisdivine paasurams and their commentaries will continue in the next issue.** **PeriAzhvar thiruvadigalE sharaNam** ** **Varavaramunidasar gal* Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) 4a.

Kulasekara AzhwAr PerumAL Thirumozhi- 4.9- Let me simply be the step Posted by: "Madhavakkannan V" srivaishnavan srivaishnavan Mon Jun 25, 2007 7:52 pm (PST) SrI:SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:Dearest all,Let us continue to enjoy azhwAr’s verses in the fourthten on ThiruvEnkatam. A brilliant set of verses.Today’s verse is the most wonderful verse…. OnPeriyAzhwAr TN, it is my privilege to share thisdivine PAsuram with the bhAgawatha gOshti sediyaaya valvinaikaL theerkkum thirumaalEnetiyaanE vEngatavaa nin_kOyi linvaasalatiyaarum vaanavaru marampaiyarum kidanthiyangumpadiyaayk kidanthun pavaLavaay kaaNpEnE The grave sins that have been committed over aeons(through many births), the paapams will all be crushedif one visits ThiruvEnkatam. vEm plus katam- thatwhich burns sins.. Oh Lord of ThiruvEnkatam Sriya:Pathi Srinivasaa! The One who dissolves all sins! Ohthe one who never ever forgets your assuagingassurance to Your Saranaagathars! [NediyaanE] OhThiruvEnkatavaa! At the entrance of your temple, letme lie down as the step at your entrance there for allyour devotees to step their feet on me and enter intoyour sanctum sanctorum and let me enjoy Yourbewitching smile from those most beautiful coral lips.A wonderful verse! AzhwAr asked for the path in the last verse. Now hedesires to be the very entrance step itself so thateveryone would certainly cross or step on him andthereby he gets Bhaagawatha sparsam. Also he does notwish to simply lie down as the non living thing.Instead, he wants to lie down as the step as well asenjoy His sweet smile from the red coral lips.Padiyaay kidanthu un pavaL vaay kaaNpEn.. Adiyarum- The paramaikaanthins- who do not pray foranything else and to anyone else except SrimanNarayanan and seek and enjoy for His divinedarshan.They do no ask for any materials oraishwaryam. Vaanavarum- Devaas- they go to SrimanNarayanan with a request for aishwaryam or position tobe retained. Arambaiyarum- Rambha, Orrvasi,Thilotthamai- et al-dance and seek material benefitsfrom DevEndran. Thus they pray to other jeevans also. All three categories of people come here atThiruvEnkatam and enter into your temple. Thus AzhwArseeks to be the step in the temple entrance. That’sthe reason in all Srivaishnava temples; the entrancestep is called Kulasekaran Padi?NediyaanE- Commentators enjoy this word as the One whonever ever forgets little good that we do? He alwaysremembers. [unlike us] If has taken a vow to protect,even thaayaar [she will not stop] complains about theprapannans (one who has surrendered) the Lord wouldsay, my adiyaar would never ever do commit mistakes.Even if they do, that must be for some good intent.Enadiyaar adhu seyyaar; seydhaalum nanRE seyvaar. It refers to Lord Ranganayaki telling Lord Rangan. Youare protecting Vibhesshana from here looking towardssouth. It was he who never ever wanted me to stay inhis country. He asked Ravana to throw me out. Thefirst one to ask Lakshmi to get out Lord says: Devi!Why did he say that? Out of his devotion forus.. He wanted you to join me and that is the reason.Not that he does not want you to stay; but that hewants us to be united. PiraaTTi is now happy that theLord has not forgotten His devotees. Sri Velukkudikrishnan swami says in his discourse, PiraaTTi is likethe mason who comes after ten days of curing ofcement and shakes the pillar if it is strong or stillshaky or moves. PiraaTTi does that kind of testing.Hence the Lord is Nediyaan. The One who never everforgets His assuaging assurance maa sucha: Do notlament. Sri Muralidhar Rangaswami shares his enjoyment: Theninth Pasuram brilliantly establishes the concept ofSaranagathi to the lotus feet of Lord Srinivasa. TheAzhwar concludes that the only thing of permanence isattainment of Lord Narayana's (Tiruvenkatan) lotusfeet. This can be related to the Narayana Sooktamsalutation: Patim VishvasyAtmeshvarag am ShashvatagamShivamachyutam and the Sriranganatha Gadyam salutation"Sthairya" (meaning fixed or permanent one) theeternal bliss of attaining the feet of Lord Narayanais described in the Narayana Upanishad salutation"Narayana SayujyamavApnoti, NarayanaSayujyamavApnoti" , in the Taittriya Upanishadsalutation "Sa YekO BrahmaNAnanda: " and in the VishnuSooktam salutation "TadvisNoh Paramam Padam SadhaaPashyanti Soorayaha" Since this is the "bull's eye" Kulashekara Azhwarshuns everything else that comes in the way of hisgoal (material wealth, royalty and its associatedparaphernalia and pleasures, Indra Lokam, the statusof Brahma, Indra, Rudra). The import of the message ofthe Ashtakshara Mantram is beautifully reflected inPasurams 8-10. The ninth Pasuram refers to the benefit of performingSharaNagati to Lord Narayana and finally, Pasurams8-10 reflect the Azhwar's enthusiasm to enjoy Bhagavadand Bhaagavata Kainkaryam. Thus, the Azhwar succinctlypresents Tattva (Lord Narayana is the Supreme Being),Hita (Surrender to His Lotus feet)and Purushartha (Constantly be engaged in Bhagavad andBhagavata Kainkaryam) for a Sri Vaishnava. One canassociate the Narayana Upanishad salutations "Nama ItiDvaE AksharE" and "NarayaNAyeti PanchAksharaNi" , withPasurams 8-10. Another important feature of the ninthPasuram is the description of Prapatti as PapaNivrutti, i.e. the act of surrendering to LordNarayana immediately rids one of their sins(Bharanyasam) .AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNamRegardsNamo narayanadAsan ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _Take the Internet to Go: Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile. / go?refer= 1GNXIC Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity 3 New MembersVisit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
