ThriuvahIndhrapuram RathnAngi Kaimkaryam for Lord DevanAthan

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear BhakthAs:

 

adiyEn is pleased to let you know that the Kaimakryam

will commence by the third week of this Month.

 

The expert AchAri From Nagarkoil known for this kind

of special jewelery construction will stay at my sister's

house to do this kaimkaryam.

 

The plan is to start with Lord DevanAthan's Sacred feet

as the first step .

 

At this time , adiyEn seeks the auspicious wishes of

all asthikAs and proceed with unwavering faith in

the Lord , who is so dear to Swamy Desikan.Together ,

the divya Dampathis of ThiruvahIndhrapuram and

Swamy Desikan and our AchAryaas should show the way

to complete this kaimkaryam .

 

adiyEn concludes this note with reflection on the first

Paasuram of NavamaNi Maalai. Swamy Desikan

elaborated in this Paasuram on the Vaibhavam of

those sacred Thiruvadis of the Lord of ThiruvahIndhrapuram

this way :

How can one describe the soulabhyam ( Ease of

access ) of the sacred Thiruvadi of the Lord , which

incarnated at Thiruvahindhrapuram for the ujjeevanam

(upliftment ) and the permanent enjoyment of Them

by the people of this karma BhUmi?

 

The lotus Thiruvadis of the Lord , who is true to His

adiyArs ( adiyavarkku Meyyan) , charm the minds of

ParamaikAnthis , who did not think of any one else

as their Lord and do not seek any boons other than

Kaimkaryam to Him .For them, there is no upAyam and Phalan

except the dhyAnam of those sacred pair of feet . Such is

the Vaibhavam of those sacred feet !

 

During the ThrivikramAvathAram , those scred

feet grew to gigantic heights to keep all the worlds

under Them .Such is their Vaibhavam!

 

Those sacred feet generated the holy Ganga

and made Her flow through the huge matted locks of

Lord Sivan and made Him Parisuddhan ! Such is

their Mahimai!

 

During KrishnaavathAram , the very same sacred feet

danced on the hoods of the egotistic serpent , KaaLiyan

and performed dushta nigraham ! Those Paadhams

chose KaaLiyan's head as the dance stage(Ranga BhUmi).

 

Those sacred feet have the special power as means(upAyam)

to gian the boon of Moksham as Phalan for adiyArs,

who seek Their protection.

 

They walked to the court of DuryOdhanan

as the ambassador for PaaNDavAs in response

to the appeal of the elder PaaNDavar , Dharma Puthran .

 

Those sacred and powerful feet pulverized the asuran,

who came to attack the Lord as a wheel (sakadam)

during the KrishnAvathAram with a single kick.

 

They are saluted by the SaasthrAs as the insatiable

nectar for adiyArs to cure the samsAric afflictions of

adiyArs .

 

Those beatiful and soft pair of Thiruvadis merge

with the hands of MahA Lakshmi as She presses

them gently.

 

Those sacred feet are always fragrant with the smell

of TuLasi.

 

Those Beautiful ThiruvadikaL give the sambhandham

to the gem-studded ankle jewelery (Silampu/Noopuram)

and add to their beauty .

 

During RaamAvathAram, those sacred feet restored

AhalyA from her stony form to that of the beautiful

wife of Sage Gouthama through their sambhandham

(association).

 

Those scred feet are celebrated by sakala VedAnthams

eternally.

 

During the ThrivikramAvathAram , they grew up to

BrahmA's abode (Sathya Lokam ) and towered over

the head of Brahma Devan and recieved AarAdhanam

by Brahma Devan.

 

These are the Thiruvadis , which through their offer of

protection to the chEthanams of this Karma BhUmi

uplift them to Their Supreme abode , SrI Vaikuntam.

 

How can one describe fully the soulabhyam of

those sacred feet of the Lord , which incarnated

for us at ThiruvahIndhrapuram ?

 

Swamy Desikan concludes this Paasuram with

a triumphant announcement :

 

Those lotus soft feet arrived now at Thiruvyindhai

for blessing the bhaddha Jeevans of this world :

" aruL tara yeNNI Ayindhai vanthana".

 

In the sixth Paasuram of Nava MaNi Maalai , Lord

DevanAthan 's unparalleled beauty is saluted by

Swamy Desikan this way:

 

"adiyavarkku MeyyanE! Ayindhai Vaazhum manju yenavE

aruL pozhiyum vaLlalE! Ninn Vadivazhahu maRavAthAr

piRavAthArE "

 

Oh Lord , who never fails to protect and bless His adiyArs!

Oh Lord who rsides permanently at Thiruvayindhai as

the cloud of Dayaa showering Youir anugraham on

Your bhakthAs ! Those blessed souls , who do not

forget Your dhivya soundharyam will never ever be born

again in this karma bhUmi .

 

Swamy Desikan concludes this Prabhandham with a moving

SaraNAgathy at the sacred feet of SrI Achyutha Parabrahmam

of Thiruvayindhai and seeks Lord DevanAthan's protection before

the noose of Yama dharman is thrown at him :

 

"venchoLar kaala dhUthar veesu paasam venthen mEl

vizhunthuazhunthi yaanayarnthu veezhvatharkku munnamE

Nee anjal anjal anjal yenRu aLikka vENDum AchyuthA

adiyavarkku maruL iyakkum adiyavarkku MEyyanE "

 

Let us seek the blessings of Lord DEvanAthan to bless this Kaimkaryam

and offer our SaraNAgathy to HIm in the way shown by Swamy Desikan .
