Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Srimadh Azhagiya Singar thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri kOmaLa vaLLi thAyAr samEtha Sri ArA amuthan thiruvadikaLE saraNam Sri Amudhan SamprOkshanam and ChAthur mAsya sankalpam - Part 10 AzhwAr considered Sri ArA amuthan as his achAryAL himself !! It is customary that a student receives the blessings from his guru prior to starting his viddhai on his debute. It is also a great belief in Srivaishnavam that one prays to the thiruvadi of their AchAryA and grips such thiruvadi when they ascend to Srivaikundam. As per our AchArya guru pArampariyam, Sri Ramanujar prayed to Sri periya nambi's thiru vadi and Swami Desikan prayed to Sri AppuLLAr's thiru vadi at the time of their ascending to Sri vaikundam. Sri nammAzwAr desires that " thaLarA udalam ennathAvi sarinthu pOm pOthu iLaiyAthu unathu thAL orunga pidithhu pOtha isai neeyE " ----------- thiru vAy mozhi 5.8.8 ie., When my last breath is about to go out please bless me such that i hold your holy feet firmly and without any laxity and ascend to Srivaikundam. This alone is a proof to establish that Sri nammAzhwAr considered Sri ArA amuthan as his AchAryAL himself. Moreso, he confirms this one more time at the time when he enters Srivaikundam in the last but one pathigam of thiru vAymozhi as, " kudanthai en kOvalan kudi adiyArkkE " -- thiru vAy mozhi 10.9.7 ie., All the " welcoming " and " ubacchArams " by many enroute to Srivaikundam is all provided only to those who are the adiyArs of Sri ArA amuthan. He once again utters the name of our perumAL Sri ArA amuthan in the very last pathigam of thiru vAy mozhi as " Arap paruga enakku ArA amuthAnAyE " -- thiru vAy mozhi 10.10.5 " enakku ArA amuthAy enathu Aviyai " -- thiru vAy mozhi 10.10.6 As similar to any Srivaishnava who will only remember his AchAryAL's thiruvadi, SrinammAzwAr remembers only Sri ArA amuthan and HIS holy feet as he enters Srivaikundam. He cites this Lord Sri ArA amuthan " thrice " in his last 2 pathigams. Whatever extent and sweet words, he may have praised all the 35 Lords (he had delvered on 36 divya desams) Sri nammAzhwAr doesnot remember anyother of those Lords at the most crucial time when he enters Srivaikundam. He remembers only Sri ArA amuthan, who is his aRivu (ie., his knowledge the thiru vAy mozhi itself), his aRivin payan (the fruit of his knowledge, the mOksham), his holy AchAryAL, his perumAL and his everything thereafter, forever....

Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Sri: SrimatE Gopala Desikan MahadesikAya Namaha, Dear Bhaktas, Adiyen is rendered speechless upon reading the latest Anubhavams of NammaAzhwar and Lord Sarangapani by Sriman Rengarajan Swamin. It is no coincidence that this note appears close on the heels of RPS-45, in which Swami Desikan pays glowing tributes to the Padhukas of Lord Sarangapani. Thanks again for your wonderful writing sriman Rengarajan Swamin. Sriman Madhavakkannan Swamin's post on the occassion of Andal's Tirunakshatram is delightful to read as well. When it rains in pours!
