Various poets on SrI Krishna!

Dear devotees,

 

namO nArAyaNa!

 

aDiyEn wanted to share with you all a personal mail

aDiyEn sent yesterday to a devotee who is a

participent in bhakthi-list, and SrIrangaSrI.

 

aDiyEn is posting that personal mail in this list in

order to express aDiyEn's gratitude to SrI

Karalapakkam Anand swAmi as he had taught me the theme

of the message (which is the thiru-vullam of aDiyEn's

achAryan SrImad Azhagiya Singar who is the

combined-avatAram of SrI bhAsyakArar, SrI DeSikar and

all other achAryAs and AzhwArs, and SrIya-pathi of our

sampradAya for aDiyEn).

 

aDiyEn feels that we would not have enough time to

write / speak the glories of the works of our greatest

SrI Vaishnava AchAryAs and AzhwArs even if we use

billions of super computers! When this is the case,

where can we find time to read / write the glories(?)

of devotees of other sampradAya and freelance(?)

devotees?

 

(Note: The question mark after the glories is not

meant to belittle, or say, that these devotees do not

have any glories at all. But in comparison with the

glories of AzhwArs / our AchAryAs, their glories seem

to be the stars on the sky during daytime.)

 

Here is a re-production of SrI Anand swAmi's write-up

on swAmi DeSikan's thiruvullam (From an article in the

bhakthi-list, " Uttamur swAmi: mAl-Ugandha Aasiriyar " ).

SwAmi DESikan, in a pAsuram in his chillarai Rahasyam

amrutAswAdini viz. " kAsiniyin maNi anaitthum ..... "

(27) says that Just like how, all the Gems in the

earth can't match the greatness of Kowstubha Gem

adorned by the Lord and how all the kshEtras in the

earth can't match the glories of PEraruLALan's (Lord

VaradarAja's) KAnchi kshEtra, the works < Smrutis,

IthihAsa-purANas etc> of sinless and clear/pure

minded Maharishis can't match even a word of " mAl

uganda aasiriar " (those who are most beloved to Lord

SrIman nArAyaNa and became the object of His abundant

special mercy; They are the likes of NammAzhwAr and

other AzhwArs/AchAryas). SwAmi DESikan adds " I am

saying this <difference between the glories of the

works of Maharishis and the words of 'mAl uganda

aasiriyar'> after knowing the due differences present.

Oh People of the World ! Become Joyful by taking these

things <the points putforth> as your Treasure " .

any mistake in aDiyEn's mail.

Dear ---------,

 

namO nArAyaNA!

 

adIyEn is really astonished to see your bhakthi on the

Supreme Lord SrI krishnA! It is highly laudable that

you are incessantly posting various poems on our

dearmost SrI Krishnan.

 

As a person born in a non vaishnava family, adiyEn was

attracted very much by the very many devotees on Lord

Krishna as they seemed to be the best amongst all

devotees be they devotees of Krishna or any god.

For instance, the maharAstrA devotee SrI ghorAkumbar

of bhaktha-vijaya fame, Smt. JanAbhAi, Smt. MeerAbhAi,

etc. are all undobtadly devoted very much to the Lord

SrI krishnA in different forms like SrI pAndurangA,

SrI giridhar gOpAl. The stories and poems of these

devotees attract many to become devotees of Lord SrI

Krishna. After deep reading of the poems of these

great devotees, albeit the poems' most potent

ingredient of Krishna bhakthi, aDiyEn could see

differences in the stories /philosophies that are

inter-twined in the poems which are not substantiated

by the very shAstrAs that showed us the Supreme Lord

SrI Krishna. Then I was yet to be introduced to the

unimaginably great devotional poems of the AzhwArs who

spoke the very same language I speak. When I was

taught by one of the greatest vedic scholars of our

time, HH Srimad Azhagiya Singar that how not only the

AzhwArs' poems were the richest in deep devotion to

the Supreme Lord SrI Krishna but those were the very

translations of the SanSkrit vEdAs in the sweet

vernacular language Tamil, aDiyEn started realizing

that these poems were not only the means to become a

greatest devotee of the Supreme Lord, but they make

you to absolutely surrender to Him, thusby making you

indeed an eternal servant of the Lord which is the

highest perfection for any living soul. Poets like SrI

Aurobindho, SrI Utthukkadu Iyer, the self proclaimed

devotee Kannadasan, albeit their bhakthi laden songs

on Krishna, did not have exclusive devotion to the

Supreme Lord Krishna as recommended by vedic

scriptures which are obvious from their works.

as aDiyEn has greatly benefitted by AzhwArs' Divya

Prabhandams, adIyEn, if I may, request you to read the

supremely glorious 4000 divya prabhanda poems, and

share your anubhavams. This is not only my request,

the recommendation of SrImad bhAgavatam, the greatest

achAryAs of our vEdic religion, etc. After all, only

when we learn from the super most devotess, can we

also become so.

 

For instance, you may be thrilled to learn the

incomparable devotion of SwAmi nammAzhwar, by Him

going into trance for 2 years just by hearing the

Soulabhyam (easy accessibility) of SrI Krishna in the

dAmOdhara pastime of the Lord.

 

Hope you would consider aDiyEn's request in its

correct sense, rather than rejecting them as sectarian

views.

 

Once again, thanks so much for your laudable

devotional services on the net. aDiYen would like to

hear from you.

 

SrI rukminI vallAbhAya KrishnAya namO nama:

 

namO nArAyANa!

 

adIyEn,
