thiru adhyayana sEvai - part 19 - pAvaiyin sOthi padarnthidum sOthi !

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

etthanai Ayiram ANdugalAy eriyum nilAvE

atthanai payirum thooNdu viriyum kathirE

pAvaiyin sOthi padarnthidum sOthi

sEvaiyun sOthi anthara sOthiyE!

 

meaning:

This moon is burning (inside in its own AthmA) for so many years

due to its longing. Its separation from Sri Arangan makes it burn

its feeling as well its inside. It is sometime seen that such moon

is burning in the nights and showing us all its " dhAbam " for Sri

Arangan. Sri Sooryan is burning physically as well and induces all

the " payirs " or crops in this universe. It is all in a hope that

such kainkaryam will one day, creat a " payir " that will be served

to Sri Arangan as his prasAdham. Without the sun rays the crops

cannot survive. So in order to support the kainkaryam of providing

nel to Sriranga kshEthram sooryan is constantly burning itself and

doing athma thyAgam and reminding us all of what we should do to

SriArangan constantly. ie the purpose of jivAthmA is to serve the

divya dampathis eternally. Since Sri Sooryan can only do so in the

daytime, it glows its sibbling nilA and yet send its kiraNangaL or

" OLi " even in the night to us as a reflection and makes us remind

of our Athma samarppanam. All these Athma samarppana thatthuvams

are taught to us in detail and step by step by our pAvai SriANDAL.

Her jyOthi is thirup pAvai. The thirup pAvai jyOthi is one that

will spread all over the universe and light up the entire clan of

jivAthamA's jyOthi. By doing such sEvai it will pave way for those

jivAthma jyOthis to merge with the anthar jyOthi Sri Arangan.

 

kArthigai (contd)..

Thirumugappattiyam or divine epistle:

Thirumangai maNNan went around to many divya dEsams and praised

the Lord. Finally on his return, he was tired of everything

including the life. On his thiru nakshatthiram day (ie kArthigai)

day, he pleaded to Lord Sri Arangan for the mArgam to attain the

Lord. Lord SriArangan replied " Azhweer, samsArigaLai ninthikkavum

parObathEsam seyyavum thuNintha umakku bagawath prApthi uNdenRu

neer nicchayitthuk koNdeerO ? " ie Did you come to the conclusion

that you will anyway get the mOksham as you have began to hate

samsAram and to expect parObathEsam ? AzhwAr was worried and

replied that " ARRangarai vAzh maRam pOl anchugirEn, irupAdu eri

koLLiyin uL eRumbE pOl urugA niRkum, maNiyE mAnikkamE, paNiyAy

enakku uyyum vagai paranchOthi! " ie. Oh Lord I am living a life

in which adiyEn is scared like a tree on the banks of the river

that often is flooded and as well as similar to an ant in an oven

of fire. adiyEn have no other way than to seek your blessings.

Please show me the way to attain your holy feet " .

 

Then perumAL told AzhwAr that " only those who surrender their

suddha sathva Athama to me through an AchAryA can attain ME " , by

showing the " thiruk kArtthigai deepam samarppanam " by Sri Utthama

nambi. Sri utthama nambai also disclosed to AzhwAr the implied

meanings of this thiruk kArthigai deepam samarpanam (suddha Athma

samarppanam or bara samarppanam) and conveyed that Lord showed

the same to Sri nammAzwAr as the ujjevana upAyam. Jyothi is often

the symbol for the AthmA. So by surrendering the Athama jyOthi

that belonged to this anthar " jyOthi " or " param jyOthi " through

an AchAryAn (Sri utthama nambi) one can attian ME.ie., By doing

Athma saranAgathi or baranyAsam through an AchAryA one can attain

ME.
