thiru adhyayana sEvai - part 5 - kANavillai enthan antharatthinai !

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

kAnAthu kaNdEn thAmArai chengan aranganai

kandathum kAnavillai enthan antharattthinai

thEdinEn thirinthalainthEn nin thiruvaruLAL

Odi oLinthEn unthannilE ennaiyE

 

Meaning:

It is such an aboorvam that this most beautiful Sri Arangan is

amongst us (*). It is a such a rare treat to see this beauty. In

general, a jivAtma due to its karma and annyadEvatha sambahandam

can not *realize* and conceive such a beauty, no matter who

(except AchAryAs) tell or write to them about it. When adiyEn

see such an unusual beauty in Sri Arangan [ie., the beauty that

cannot be seen anywhere else ( " kAnAtha " or " engum kAna

iyalAtha " )], adiyEn see that reddish eye that is similar to the

lotus flower. After seeing such " kaNgaL " (Reddish eyes), adiyEn

is facing with a crisis. adiyEn realizes that my antharam,

that is Athman, is suddenly missing. adiyEn is so worried about

it. adiyEn wandered around searching for my Athman. Finally, due

to Sri Arangan's own thiru AruL adiyEn found the " antharam " in

HIMself! ie., It lost all its own aham and eloped with HIM on

seeing this beauty of Sri Arangan and had hidden (merged) in HIM.

 

No one can describe the beauty of Sri Arangan adequately.

" AkAsatthai alanthAlum aLakkalAm, Arangan Azhagai varai arukka

yArAl mudiyum ? Azh kadalaiyum arunthalAm, en amuthanin (Arangan

with Sri Ara amuthan) Ar azhagai muzhuthumAga yAral Arap paruga

iyalaum ? " One can even measure and survey the sky and as well

describe it, but who can completely do so for Sri Arangan ? One

can consume the entire depth of the ocean. But who can consume

this nectar beauty of Sri Arangan completely and without any

" miccham " ?

 

Having attempted to describe the immeasurable beauty of Sri

Arangan adiyEn want to quickly get into the purpose of this

series. This pasuram is conveying an essential concept of

saranagathi thatthuvam. It is very important to give this touch

so that the underlying principles of thiru adhyayana uthsavam

that will be dealt in the following (parts) can be understood

in a proper way.

note: (*) Sri Arangan has come to pomona, Newyork as well due to

the kAruNyam of HIM and the 44th Srimadh Azhgiya Singar of Sri

Ahobila muth.
