THIRUPPAVAI SWAPADHESAM

 

SREMATH PARAMAHAMSA VANAMAMALAI JEEYAR

 

Continuing viewing thiruppAvai from thirumandhiram angle,let us see the namas

sabthArtham as explained by sri vAna mAmalai jEyar swAmi.

 

the namas sabthArtham is seen in-the soul aims at the happiness of the Lord and

nothing for oneself.

 

---------> 'thUyOmAi vandhu nAm' -

---------> 'thUyOmai vandhOm'thiruppAvai 16;

--------> 'abhimAna bhangamAi' thiruppAvai 22;

--------> 'maRRai nam kAmangAL mARRu' thiruppAvai 29.

 

The above pAsuram-s categorically express

 

a.Desire of no material or other benefits.

b Approaching the Lord without ego and

c. No desire for self enjoyment even at the time of kainkaryam.

 

Thus 'namas' sabthArtham is explained herein as a part of thirumandhiram
