Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Sri Parthasarathi thunai Srimathe ramanujaya Namaha Srimad Vara Vara munayE Namaha Sri vAnAchala mahA munayE Namaha Paasuram-92 "endru maRandhaRiyEn ennenjaththE vaiththu nindRum erundhum nedumAlai-endRum thiruvirundha mArban sireedharanuk kAlAi karuvirundha nAL mudhalAk kAppu" 'I am one of his devotees' says azhvar in this paasuram. Emperuman has been protecting me right from the time I was inside my mother's womb and hence I have never forgotten him. (endRum maRandhaRiyEn ennenjaththE vaiththu nindrum erundhum nedumAlai) ['ennil munnam pAriththu thAN ennai muRRapparuginAn' (thiru 9-6-10) 'adhanir periya ennavA aRa soozhindhAyE' (thiru 10-10-10) are verses from swamy Nammazhvar's thiruvaimozhi that show that emperuman has a greater passion towards his devotees.] I now have that very lord with such great passion for me in my mind and he remains in my thoughts in any state of affairs whether I am standing or sitting. I can never forget him. (nindrum erundhum) Standing, sitting etc are actions that happen almost automatically to us. Sometimes even without our knowledge. Even at those times I do not forget him. Not stopping with just remembering him I am also blessed with his divine service. (endRum thiruvirundha mArvan sireedharanukkALAi) 'nithya sri:' 'agalagillEn eraiyum endru alarmEl mangai urai mArban' The lord is always accompanied by his divine consort and hence renowned as Sriyapathi (the master of Sridevi). Piratti never leaves his chest for the very sake of doing purushakaram for all the devotees who may come to the lord at any time. I am blessed with the divine service to the divine couples always filled with divine mercy. We call many to be 'Sriman' but he alone is apt to be called Sriman as 'Sri' decorates his chest always. 'thirumAlE! nAnumunakku pazhavadiyEn' (thirupallandu-11) I am a very old servant to you, the divine couples. How is it that you are blessed with this remembrance and service? (karuvirundha nAL mudhalAk kAppu) The lord placed his divine kataksham (divine sight) on me right from the time I was inside my mother's womb and blessed me with satvika qualities due to which I have obtained the above greatness. 'jAyamAnam hi purusham yam pasyEt madhusoodhana: I sAtvika: sadhu vignEya: sa vai mOkshArththa chinthaka: II [bhar-moksha] [One who is blessed with the kataksham of madhusoodhanan at the time of birth, he is blessed with satvika gunas and he alone will think about moksha] (To Be Continued) Azhvar emperumAnAr Jeeyer thiruvadigalE sharaNam Adiyen ramanuja dAsee Sumithra Varadarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
