Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha Paasuram-55 “kadai nindRu amarar kazhal thozhudhu nAlum edai nindRa enbaththarAvar-pudainindRa neerOdhamEni nedumAlE ninadiyai yArOdhavallA ravar” After attempting to change the world with his advisory verses, thirumazhisai piran found that he was unable to attain any sort of success. Further azhvar continues to express his feelings in front of the lord himself. “Oh My lord! Here in this world I find everyone falling to the feet of lowly devathas for cheap results but rarely find anyone who surrenders to your divine feet to obtain the ultimate joy (the land of paradise). In earlier verses azhvar expressed his grievances towards those people who strive for worldly pleasures. Here azhvar expresses his grievances towards the so called elevated souls who aspire not for attaining the ultimate joy but for a temporary intermediate joy in the Land of svarga, by performing various yaga yagnas. (amarar kadai nindRu) People stand in queue in the footsteps of those lowly deities, with painful worshipping procedures. (kazhal thozhudhu nAlum) Not one day but they do the same process of prostrating the deities daily with no absolute result. On the contrary, even if we show our respect by just folding our hands in front of him emperuman considers himself to be greatly indebted to us. Just the utterance of the name “Govinda” makes emperuman do everything for us and ultimately feel for not doing enough. A single afflictive shout makes him rush to the spot not worried about his state or appearance. The outcome of prostrating these demigods, the act that should actually be done under the divine feet of the all supreme lord, emperuman without any demands is:- (edainindRa enbaththarAvar) They will not be blessed with the “Siddha punyam” (archAvatara anubhavam, happiness readily available) in this world nor will they be blessed with the “moksha sukam”(the ultimate bliss) instead they will be blessed with an intermediate happiness of “svarga sukam” (temporary joy in the land of svarga). What foolishness! (pudainindRa neerOdha mEni nedumAlE) Oh My Lord! Your divine beauty resembles the ocean that surrounds this earth. The worldly pleasures are enjoyed with eyes and our sense organs and hence are called pratyakshAnubhavam (enjoyed directly). Whereas the ultimate bliss the mokshAnubhavam is something beyond our imagination. ArchAvatara anubhavam (enjoying the divine beauty of the lord in temples and houses in various forms and with various names) is different from both the pratyaksha samsArAnubhavam and the moksha/svargAnubhavam. This is both enjoyed by our senses and also capable of removing all our miseries. The speciality of the archA roopam of emperuman is that the divine beauty mesmerizes one and all. Not for any demands but just for the sake of surrendering we can do all service to this lord but where am I to find such people who fall to the divine feet of the lord for the very purpose of surrendering to him and for nothing else? (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam Adiyen ramanuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarajan [Dear bhagavatas, this day Sept.8th 2005 is special. Today the grand samprokshanam of our beloved thirumazhisai piran temple will take place in thirumazhisai. On 14th of this month, the sannadhi of Sri thirumazhisai piran in thiruvallikeni will undergo samprokshanam along with Azhagiya singar, gajendra varadar and bhaktha anjaneyar sannadhis] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
