[Guest guest]

kuRungudikkEA ennai vuithidumin

 

 

nambi is nam-AzhwAr: It is well known that sri vadivazhagia nambi is swAmi

nam-AzhwAr. Like emperumAnar who became a manifestation of sri parthasarathy,

magizh-mARan as per the promise of nambi is indeed but nambi and of course it

is well known that sri emperumAnAr is -mARan adi paNindhu vindhavan .

 

nam-pAduvAn: The rich cultural heritage including nam-pAduvan,kaisika purANam

are few more feathers in the crown of nambi.

 

nature: The nature's beauty cannot be described or narrated. The whole area

around thirukkuRungudi would be scorching with heat. Reach thirukkuRungudi, the

clouds would be hanging low and playing with each other. A closer scrutiny

of " thavaLa iLam piRai " and " akkum puliyin " thiru-mozhi-s,9-5 and 9-6,

respectively, throughout will reveal this fact more distinctly.

 

thirumangai mannan's eternal abode: Like AndAL who wanted Herself packed off to

Lord krishNA- madhuraip purathu ennai vuithidumin, yamunaikk karaikkennai

vuithidumin, pANdi vadathennai vuithidumin and so on, thirumangai AzhwAr who is

supposed to have relished and cherished all the divya-dEsam-s longs for

thirukkuRungudi and desires for this.

 

Thiru-mozhi 9-5 is replete with his pleas.

 

'kOla maNi nEr kozhikkum,. kuRungudikkEa ennai vuithidumin "

'kollai vaLar ilai mullai, pulgu kuRungudikkEa ennai vuithidumin'

and so on and so forth.

 

The final pAsuram is heart rending.

 

" thiru-mA-magaLaip peRRum en nenjam kOil koNda " Even after having thiru-mA-magaL

the great patta magishi, the Lord of thirukkuRungudi resides in my heart.

and ultimately kaliyan reaches thirukkuRungudi as his eternal abode.

 

thirukkuRungudi better than vaikuntham: NO Exaggeration. Edu vyAkyAnam for the

11th pAsuram of 5-5 :

aRiyak kaRRu vallArgaL : 'aRindhu kaRkaiyAvadhu " sRi vaikuNdathilEA nithya

sUrigaL naduvEa irukkiRa iruppilum kAttil,guNAdhikyam vuLLadhu ennumidathia

aRindhu abhyasikka vallargaL'

 

" What is learning about thirukkuRungudi properly?: To realise that being in

thirukkuRungudi is better than being in srEvaikuNtam in the company of

nithya-sUri-s as the auspicious qualities sparkle in thirukkuRungudi.

Conclusion: One can go on like this talking about nambi of thirukkuRungudi. Smt.

SumithrA varadaRajan triggered these thoughts in my mind when she talked of

divya-dEsam-s as offices of the Lord. Further, there was a feeling that many

people do not know much about this divya-dEsam. Hence, this gave me an

opportunity to run through the great vyAkyAnam-s about the great divya-dEsam and

about the great vadivazhagia nambi.

no offence meant.

Thank YOu,
