This being the concluding posting of this series it is adiyen's humble request

to all bhagavatas to please consider this as adiyen's personal anubhavam and no

insult or nothing against the poorvacharya anubhavams/vyakhyanams is intended.

It is adiyen's involvement towards Parthasarathi and thiruvallikeni divya desam

that had made adiyen write such a series. There may be many places not

acceptable to many but still let this be considered as just one other anubhavam

of an ignorant soul blabbering something ( " neesanEn niraiondrumilEn en kan pAsam

vaiththa paramsudar jOdhikkE " " elaiya pun kavidhaiyElum empirArkku eniyavArE " ).

Right or wrong adiyen is sure that this series will be enjoyable to both

Parthasarathi emperuman and all his devotees. What else to say other than his

divine grace (nirheduka krupai) that had made the lowest of the lowest jeevatma

like adiyen to write a few words about emperuman and his greatness.

 

 

 

We will conclude this series just spotting one great occasion to add to our

anubhavam. In the previous posting we saw that MA had indirectly did

mangalasasanams to our dear Parthasarathi. Do you know how sArathi honours MA

for the same? It is only on the avarthAra dinam of MA, chittiraiyil chittirai

does parathasarathi start his grand yearly brahmotsavam. It is like sArathi

celebrating the divine avataram of MA to show the greatness of an acharya to

this world for 10 days. And on top of all this on that day parthasarathi gives

divine darshan to MA in the 'pinna kalai vAhanam' as kutti kannan with a flute

in hand. Just for all your information there is one another similar happening

in thiruvallikeni when Narasimhan/Azhagiya singan during his brahmotsavam

honours periazhvar (on Ani swathi). Periazhvar did mangalasasanams to

narasimhan in his very first prabhandam thiruppallAndu as " andhiyam pOdhil

ariyuruvAgi ariyai azhiththavanai pandhanai teera pallAndu pallAyiraththAndendru

pAdudhumE " .

 

 

 

[blessed were the souls who witnessed the divine sevai of periazhvar on a small

yanai vahanam doing mangalAsAsanams to azhagiya singan on top of garudan this

year.]

 

 

 

There is no end to adiyen's anubhavams with parthasarathi/thiruvallikeni but a

great fear in adiyen's mind keeps on asking me to put a stop to writing more and

more. Will not " evil eyes " fall on my dear parthasarathi? So due to that fear

of kandrishti adiyen is concluding for now. Adiyen's humble request to all the

bhagavatas to do mangalAsAsanams to thiruvallikeni and all emperumans over there

including all the azhvars and acharyas under the divine service of the lord in

archa roopam. Adiyen's fear increases due to the recent disheartening incidents

in thirumala. Thirumalai by itself is considered very sacred by our

poorvacharyas " malaiyE thiruvudambu " swamy emperumAnAr hesitated even to put his

feet on the thirumalai though he himself was seshAvataram. But that divine

place is in a very sad state today. AnanthAzhvan, was a very close disciple of

emperumanar who practiced madurakavi bhavam to the maximum extent. That is why

people in his lineage still call themselves as 'madurakavi dasan'. AnanthAzhvan

considered the kainkaryam allotted to him by his acharya as more important even

to the bhagavat sevai. He considered even the ants in thirumalai to be some

nithya soori. Kulasekara perumal wanted a birth atleast as a step in thirumalai

" padiyAi kidandhu vun pavalavAi kAnbEnE " " emperumAN pon malai mEl edEnum AvEnE "

We even today call the divine step near the emperuman sannadhi only as

" kulasekaran padi " Amidst all these greatness how come such atrocities are going

on in thirumalai? How are we Srivaishnavas still keeping quiet taking care of

just our personal needs? Will we keep quiet if our father is in danger, if his

place is blasted with bombs? Unfortunate vandalism has struck that divine place

held so close to the hearts of azhvars and acharyas. In thiruvaimozhi, azhvar

choose only thirumalai padhigam to deliver the dvayArtham to all ( " ozhivil

kAlamellam " and " vulagamunda peruvAyA " ). The same thiruvenkatamudaiyan came

down to thiruvallikeni as venkata Krishnan to explain the charama slokArtham to

one and all not just by words but also with his divine darshan (his thirumeni

talks the divine rahasyam). Emperuman came down for all our welfare but hope

the virus of scandalling of emperuman's property doesn't descend not only to

thiruvallikeni but also to any other divya desam.

 

Let us all join together and sing mangalAsAsanam especially to

thirumalai/thiruvenkatamudaiyan (undergoing such pain today),

thiruvallikeni/Parthasarathi and to all the emperumans at all the divya desams.

May the lords stay amidst the crowd of devotees who love and care for the lord.

May commercialization and selfishness not enter the divya desams and Srivaishna

community and spoil the divine atmosphere.
