nAnmugan thiruvandhAdhi-31-thirukkuRungudi 1

[Guest guest]

Dear srEvaishNavites,

 

Now that voting has commenced, it is my fundamental duty to campaign for

'thirukkuRungudi'.

en-nenjinAl nOkkik kANEr

 

1. First Going by Our Philosophy:

Unlike GEthAchAryan of thiruvallikkEANi, thirukkuRungudi nambi is a rank

srEvaishNavite. How? He is a devotee of sri em-perumAnAr and hence, sri

vaishNava nambi. Our basic tenet is to be devotee of devotees and since

vaishNava nambi is a devotee of our devotee -going by nam-AzhWar's and kaliyan's

directions- I think thirukkuRungudi vaishNava nambi should be ranking top in our

list.

 

2. Going by the beauty and Perfection: As mentioned in AchArya Hrdhayam, the

immaculate and immense beauty is not on just the features, but is comprehesive.

What does AchArya Hrdhyam say highlighting this divya-dEsam:

" vaishNava vAmanathil niRaindha nEla mEaniyin ruchi janaka vibhava lAvanyam

pUrNam " sUthram 162;

 

The beauty of the Lord attracts the souls and pushes Him into eternal bliss and

helps him in attaining salvation. The beatuy in this divya-dEsam has attracted

both thirumangai mannan and swAmi nam-AzhwAr undoubtedly.

 

The blue thirumEani, the ornaments, the conch and the disc, the four shoulders

all fill in the mind of AzhwAr.

" nEla mEanium, nAngum thOLgaLum en nenjam niRaindhanavEA " 5-5-7 of

thiru-voi-mozhi.

" selginRadhu en nenjamEa " My heart goes for Him. The Lotus eys, the thirumaru in

the chest, the nectar-fruit mouth,the bow, thaNdu, vAL,the garland,the silk

robes,the throat, long eyebrows,the beautiful nose, the slim

mid-portion-siRRidai and finally

" niRaindha sOdhi veLLam sUzhndha " The fifth thriu-voi-mozhi of fifth ten.

 

Thus, the features and the whole beauty makes AzhwAr attracted towards Him. If

for some people, tbe features are good, the macro beauty does not match. If the

macro beauty is good, the micro is not pretty. In nambi's case, the beauty is

all pervading, the beauty is macro and micro, the beauty and perfection to the

core -niRaindha sodhi veLLam.

 

3. Going by the Impact of the beauty: What is the impact of this beauty? It has

made parAnkusa nAyaki to cross from the threshold of a woman's fortitude and

patience and come out and seek for Him. The mother and women all scold her. She

says

" see from my angle. Step into my shoes. YOu see from my heart " then you will

understand my position. " en nenjinAl nOkkik kAnEr " .then you will not be angry at

me. Just by going and standing in front they were scolding her. " munninRAi enRu

thozhi mArgaLum annaiyarum munidhir " The blemishless thirukkuRungudi nambi

-vazhuvil kErthi- has attracted AzhwAr.

 

Thus, the beauty has rocked AzhwAr out of his composure made him talk in the

feminine-prEamathil peN pEachu- and knocked him out of the inner circle of the

decency and fences. This is retributed by the womanhood around. The

justification by the AzhwAr is " You kindly see the beauty. See these from my

angle "

 

 

4.Going by the pAsuram-s: this divya-dEsam not only gives us a desired

srEvaishNavic devotee in nambi, but also makes us a srEvaishNavite. How, those

who comprehend and understand this " enganEYO " thiru-voi-mozhi 5-5 are considered

as srEvaishNavites.

" aRiyak kaRRu vaLLArgal vaittaNavar Azh kadal sUzh gnAlathuLLEA " 5-5-11.
