Pushpa, ThyAga, BhOga ...10

[Guest guest]

With the objective to do visiri kaimkaryam to Perumal, Thirukkachi Nambigal went

to Koil. Since Rangathar reclains on AdhisEshan between ‘Thenneer Ponni’, that

kaimkaryam was not appropriate for Him. Hence Thirukkachi Nambigal went to

Thirumalai. Atleast, Srirangam is a land area, but ThiruVenkatadam is a hill,

and is well known as ‘Kuliraruvi Venkadam’. Hence this kaimkaryam was not suited

for Him too. After approaching koil and Thirumalai, Thirukkachi Nambigal finally

reached Perumal Koil.

 

Perarulalan in Kanchi accepted this visiri kaimkaryam. He was the One who came

out of Agni Kundam. Hence this kaimkaryam was very much appropriate for Him.

Thirukkachi Nambigal was performing ThiruvAlavatta kamiaryam to Perarulalan

everyday.

 

Like how a flower opens its petals with the sunlight, and the darkness gets

completely eliminated with sunlight, with the birth of Ramanujar, the complete

darkness in our souls are wiped out. Ramanujar is the sun for all our souls, who

are caught in the cycle of samsara. ('irul tharum jnyalam')

 

With the sankalpam of Perum Devi ThAyAr and Perarulalan, Swami Ramanujar was

performing Thirtha Kaimkaryam to them. Divya Dampathis treated Ramanujar as

their fond child. Ramanujar had a great respect for Thirkkachi Nambigal. Due to

the varnAshrama dharmam, Thiruukkachi Nambigal was not ready to be in AchAryan

status to Ramanujar.

 

What did Ramanujar want from Thirukkachi Nambigal? What did Thirukkachi

Nambigal, a MahAn born in lower caste of society (according to varnAshramam) do

to VaithikOthamar?

 

We will see in detail about,

 

‘ThyAga mandapathil Alavattamum kaiyumAna antharangarai vaithikOthamar

anuvartita kramam’

 

in next few postings.
