thirup pAvai - Vol.02.002 - " kiriyai "

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

In the previous pAsuram, Sri ANDAL showed us the saranAgathi

mArgam and the goal ie, perumAL's paRai or aruL. This is also

known as prabAgam. When Sri ANDAL had told about all the

thatthuvam in the first pAsuram, it is believed that she is

going to deliver further about who are these " nEr izhaiyeer "

who will do this pAvai nOnbu of saranAgathi and what are the

aspects of this " nOnbu " in detail ? " SaranAgathi nOnbu " has

these five major angams.

 

Of which some of them are discussed here in this pAsuram

as a " kiriyai " . It is strongly believed that only in Sri sana

dhAna dharma that the " Sariyai, kiriyai, nyAnam and yOgam

are all explained. No other religion have even conceptualised

these. " Sariyai " can be said as one who does " thoNdu " or

service to Sriman nArAyaNA in as casual way or an ordinary

way. Kiriyai can be said as anukka thOndu or a service that

is done to Sriman nArAyaNA as a part of a yAgam or nOnbu that

is ordained in shAstrAs. The word " kiriyai " is also told in

colloquial term as " kirisai " . " Kiriyai " means a deed or a

" seyal " or an act in general. " Kiriyai " generally is referred

to the special leelai of Lord Sri Krishna directed at getting

a good ending or result desired by HIM.

 

" nyAnam " can be addressed in simple terms as attempting

to see Lord Sriman nArAyaNA or SriKrishnA through agam & seek

to understand Lord Sri Krishna through the " nyAnam " that Lord

Sriman nArAyaNA alone can give us. This nyAnam itself is HIM

or HE is in this form of " nyAnam " . In thiru vAy mozhi Sri

nammAzwAr describes perumAL Sri Oppiliappan as " nyAnamAy .. " .

When this " nyAnam " is wholly adopted to serve and propagate

the thiru uLLam of Lord Sri Krishna this same nyAnam becomes

" para nyAnam " . Sri nammAzwAr describes the same in Sri ArA

amuthan's pAsruam that Sri Ara amuthan or Sri Krishna is the

total use of all this " nyAnam " or knowledge or " aRivu "

in thiru vAy mozhi as " aRivin payanE! " . Since these Aaycchiar

are " aRivu onRum illAthavar " ie., they are not intellecually

suprior or individually a sophisticated person.
