Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha Note: Today is a divine day in thiruvallikeni, Davanotsavam for Sri Mannathan and vedavalli thayar along with acharya Swamy manavala mAmunikal. Morning thirumanjanam for the divine couples along with the lord’s acharya Swamy mAmunikal was held and then the divine couples with the acharya gave darshan inside the thayar sannadhi. In the evening, davanotsavam with be celebrated. On the panguni uttaram day, we all can have darshan of the divine couples along with swamy emberumAnAr and today is the day when we can have the divine darshan with the purushakaram of Swamy mAmunikal. Ranganathan gave the ubhaya vibhoothi to Swamy emperumAnAr and made him “udayavar” but the same ranganatha gave a special thaniyan and also his adisesha peedam to Swamy mAmunikal and made himself to be his disciple. So is it not great to have the divine darshan of the couples with the purushakaram of swamy mAmunikal? Let us all now enjoy that mannathan along with the mangalasasanam of thirumazhisai piran. Paasuram-35 “thAlAl vulagam alandha asaivE kol, vAlAkidandharulum vAi thiravAn-neelOdam vandhalaikkum mAmayilai mAvallikEniyAn IyintalaivAi nAgaththanai” In the 31st paasuram, azhvar got vexed with the acts of the lowkikas, who have forgotten emperuman “perumAnai EththAdha pEygAl” The following paasurams were on the same lines. In this paasuram, thirumazhisai piran feels, “Oh! When I don’t have enough time to talk about the wonderful acts of emperuman why talk about other things?” and hence azhvar proceeds to talk about the great acts of emperuman. (thAlAl vulagam alandha asaivE kol) “vadivinai ellA malarmagal maRRai nilamagal pidikkum melladiyai” (thiruvai 9-2-10) Emperuman’s thiruvadi is so soft that even if piratti presses it with love still it becomes red. With the same divine feet emperuman measured forests, mountain, rocks and valleys due to which his divine body became tired. Oh Lord! Are you lying down in silence without moving only due to this tiredness? (thAlAl) Just due to your relation with all the jeevas you placed your divine feet on all of them to uplift them. You were the one who created everything in this world not stopping with that did you want to uplift them by placing your divine feet on top of them? (vulagam) Did you undergo such hardships for this cruel world? (alandha asaivE kol) Due to azhvar’s deep love for the lord (astAnE baya sankai) he feels that the lord (ayarvaru amarargal adhipathi) has become tired due to these acts. (vAlA kidandharulum) Emperuman is not moving this side or that side. He lays still. We missed seeing the lord measuring the worlds but can’t we at least enjoy his divine thirumeni moving? (vAi thiravAn) He doesn’t talk words that are very valuable to his devotees. “AsayA yathi vA rama: puna: sapthApayEthiti “ [i waited there for a long time with the wish that rama could call me again] “priyavAdhee” (neelOdam vandhalaikkum mAmayilai mAvallikEniyAn) Emperuman lies in thiruvallikeni, a part of mylapore very close to the sea. Since this is a place where emperuman reclines with love, the waves come to touch his divine feet and like a mother tapping the child with her hands to make it sleep the waves touch the divine feet of the lord. (neelOdham) When we all feel tired we relax in the beach. Both the fresh air and the serene atmosphere of the water and waves remove all our tension and tiredness. Sri Mannathan, got tired after measuring the worlds and choose this place close to the beach to relax. (iyinthalai vAi nAgaththanai) To relax we need a good bed and also a shelter to protect us from sunlight and rain. Emperuman is very lucky. He has a two in one/multipurpose bed, Adiseshan who acts as both a bed and a protective shelter. Moreover this shelter has its own capacity to even protect the lord from any enemy. Adisesha is always active to protect the lord (due to his ‘parivu’ (atmost care) for the almighty) (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam Adiyen ramanuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
