SUNDARA BAAHU STHAVAM RELEASE!

[Guest guest]

While

a devout shishya of SriRamanuja catapulted him to the status of Bhashyakaarar

through his flawless recollection of the Bhodhayana Vritthi grantham , a sishya

of Sri ‘Ramanuja’s incarnation’ brought him laurels through the composition of

SriVenkatesha Suprabhatam. While the former thwarted the onslaught of

Kudrishtis and prathivadis by lending a helping hand to his Acharyan, the

latter carried the ‘threat to opponents’ in his name itself. Well, thanks for

guessing it right, we are talking of the two pillars of SriVaishnava Sampradayam, Sri Kooratazhwan and

SriPrathivaadi Bhayankaram Annan.

 

Though Azhwan lead a

life of utmost humility and simplicity, it didn’t deter him from exhibiting his

literary prowess. The works of Azhwan i.e the Pancha Sthavams stand testimony to the literary genius lying

dormant in the unassuming persona. The mix of qualities Azhwan possessed can

only be compared to that of Lord’s. Emperumaan has the unique ability of possessing

contradictory qualities and things at the same time. We call it Viruddha

ghatana samarthyam (As Namazhwar and

Azhagiya Manavala Perumal Nayanar point out in their respective works).Next to

him, only Azhwan has exhibited such splendid traits. At one instance, Azhwan’s

heart broke down and he fell unconscious seeing an animal enjoying its prey. Reading

the above verses we might feel the compassionate Azhwan couldn’t bear

hardships. And that his heart was not designed for it….But nay!!! He was rock

solid from within when confronted with threat. The Azhwan who couldn’t bear the

sight of a liquid flowing from banana

tree(vaazhai maram), went to the extent of plucking off his eyes

with his own hands when penalized by the fanatic Chozhan!

 

The fame of Azhwan has stood the test of time. We are

into his 1000th thirunakshtram. While the life history of Azhwan

throws light on his invincible character, his poetry gives insights into his

unfathomable devotion, creativity and brilliance. How better to celebrate his

thirunakshtram than to publish his works with their meaning? And whose

commentary better apt than the descendent of the sishya of Sri Manavala

Mamunigal?(read as Emperumaanar)

 

Hence Sri Kanchi PBA Swami Trust has ventured to bring

out the works of Sri Koorathazhwan with Sri Kanchi Prathivadi Bhayankaram Annangarachariar

Swamy’s commentary one by one starting with Sundara Baahu sthavam. The people

of yesteryear are reminiscent of the way PBA swamy celebrated Maamunigals 600th

Thirunakshtram. Swamys absence was deeply felt by one and all on SriPillai

Lokachariars 800th thirunakshtram. But unfortunately the Trust

wasn’t formed then. Now, people needn’t worry. Swamy lives thro PBA swamy

Trust.

 

P.B.A Swamys

commentary needs no comments. His strikingly lucid style even of the toughest

works has always struck a chord with the readers. The specialty of P.B.A Swamy

lies in his word by word meaning of each shloka followed by a brief explanation

of the whole shloka.

 

Cost of the book:

Rs. 100/=
