irAmAnusa nORRu anthAthi - 001; Part 9 - " nAm manni vAzha nenchE! "

 

Dear bAgawathAs,

 

A detailed publication of Sri pillai lOkam Jeer's vyAkyAnam and

Sri MaNavALa mA munigaL's " uRai " has been published after a lapse

of 108 years (ie after 1891) in 1999. Such publication was

released to this world under the holy feet of than oppAr illappan

last year at thiru viNNagaram sannithi. (*)

Simple Conceptual Meaning:

 

Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr is telling his thiru uLLam that we

must have our mind always fixed permanently at the holy thiruvadi

of our AchAryAn Sri irAmAnusan. In order to realise such, let us

keep chanting the AchArya thanian and his thiru nAmams constantly

all the time.

 

Detailed vyAkyAnam:

 

Of this 108 pAsurams, each pAsuram contains or hosts in it the

most important thiru kalyAna gunAs and special gunAs of the

pradhama AchAryAn, Sri irAmAnusan. In this pAsuram the kalyANa

guna is indirectly explained. ie., the speciality of the various

AchAryA dhanians and thiru nAmams (of Sri irAmAnusan) are such

that, by chanting them, AchAryA's thiruvadi always gets fixed in

one's mind unshakably. This is thiruk kalyAna gunA of Sri

irAmAnusan. One may ask whether if It doesnot require a focussed

meditation to realise something ? or Does it seems that a mere

chanting of this powerful thiru nAmam will get one attached

permanently to the AchAryAn's thiruvadi ? AchArya dhaniyan is very

much powerful. Among such, Sri irAmAnusan's name or thirunAmam

excels everyone of them. Mere chanting them will lead one in the

long run to a focussed meditation by itself on the powrful inner

meaning of this " mathram " or thaniayan or " thiru nAmam " . Then, one

will get ultimately fixed to the thiruvadi of their AchAryAn by

realizing such.

 

However, since he is using the word " nenchE " using " viLitthal " , It

is understood that he is actually commanding one's mind. The

EkAram for the " nenchu " ,adds up to make the word ( " nenchu " + " E " =

" nenchE " ) " nenchE " in tamil. Such a compounded word means " Listen

to me, my mind! " .ie., He is appealing or commanding to " nenchu " or

heart or mind. Since Sri thiru arangatthu amuthanAr commands his

" manam " or mind or " thiru uLLam " , it clearly indicates that it may

be the iterative meditation process during which one may ask their

mind to " refocus " again and again on the content of the holy

manthram repeatedly and dwell in the meaning of it finally. Mind

is supposed to be controlled by the awareness. Awareness tell us

about the outside world and how the body perceives them with the

sense organs. Now, One is asking the mind to forget this

perceptions and instead seek his mind to focus on the manthram or

thaniyan or thirunAmam only. This is one of the important foot-

step in a dyAnam or meditation. Chanting one's AchAryAn's thaniyan

thus will lead one to get attached with the thiruvadi of the

AchAryAn. (**)

note: (*) - Since Sri irAmAnusa nooRRu anthAthi is one of the most

favourite grantham for the divya dampathis, adiyEn hopes that the

Sriranga dampathis will be pleased with this kainkaryam and bless

the prapannAs with AchAryA kadAksham to fulfill their kainkaryams

at Newyork and elsewhere. This series in english, is dedicated to

Sri Ranganathar and Sri RanganAyaki thAyAr.
