" peRREn, peRRathum piravAmai " - part 1

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

On this Ayppasi Sravanam day, adiyEN want to share a few lines.

" ArellAm veLLam pAynthodinAlum enthan anubava kudam nirambavillai

innum " . In the last few days the flood of Oppiliappan pAsurams

were translated by Sri MadhavakaNNan. Sri V. Sadagopan has poured

his heart in praise of Sri Oppiliappan in a series of postings

with adiyEn during August, Sept 1997 (see from Bhakthi archives).

Of those one of the pasuram tore my heart into pieces and laid it

down at the holy feet of Sri than oppAr illappan.

 

Thirumangai AzhwAr have delivered 30 pasurams on this lord of

which this pasuram is special to me. Thirumangai describes the

mindset one may have during the moments of baranyAsam or prapatti

and also conveys the fruits of it ie.. piravAmai. The following

anubavam is also good in the context of why one must avoid

annyAdevathA arAdhana.

We understood the Pasuram in the following way because of our

AchAryA's anugraha. Perhaps someone else in this group can

elaborate more than what is presented as the inner meaning when

they get the time.

 

" maRROr theyvameNNE N "

 

The starting line is " I will not worship anyone else " . At this

point one has already achieved

 

" BahunAm janmanAmante jnanavAm mam prapadyante.

Vasudeva sarvam iti sa mahatma su durlabha. "

 

Simple meaning:

" After many, many births, one understands that Vasudeva is

supreme and surrenders to me. Such a mahatma is very rare " .

 

This may be one of the inner and the second layer of meaning.

 

At this point the individual is already a mahatma. -

this happens only with the grace of Sriman Narayana. I

obtained the " piravAmai " or nyAnam of worshipping nArAyanan alone -

 

....to continue
