Thiruvaheendhrapuram RathnAngi Kaimakryam: Part 137 ( Desika Prabhandham-- XXVII: Paasurams 130-132

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Swamy Desika BhakthAs:

 

We will now enjoy Three more Paasurams of Amrutha SvAdhini

Prabhandham . These Desika Prabhandha Paasurams ( 130-132 )

deal with the Chillari Rahasyam known as Muni Vaahana BhOgam

saluting the Vaibhavam of ThiruppANa AazhwAr , who blessed us

with His SrI Sookthi of AmalanAdhipirAn . With the 132nd Paasuram ,

the Desika Prabahndham of Amrutha SvAdhini is concluded .

 

130) State of never being separated from our Lord

***************************************

It can be said that the Tamil Prabhandham of AmalanAdhipirAn

blessed to us by ThiruppANAzhwAr houses the essence of

Tamil Vedam (Dhivya Prabahndham ) inside it . Through this celebrated

SrI Sookthi, we have comprehended the Lord as the protector of ALL

(Sarva Rakshakan ) , indweller in ALL (SarvAntharyAmi ) and

the Cause for ALL ( Sarva KaaraNan) . We have now reached

the status of the Gopis , who had limitless love for the Lord

and are staying like the legendary Female AnRil bird , which never leaves

the side of its male mate . We find ourselves in a state, where we

do not need help form any one or any thing else except the Lord.

 

Swamy Desikan salutes the ten verses (Paadal Patthu) of ThiruppANar

( PaaNN PerumAL) as the essence of Tamizh Vedam ( Tamizh maRayin

payanE koNDa). We understood from reflections on these ten Paasurams

of PaaNN PerumAL that the Lord is our protector (Kaavalan ) , Naayakan

( KaNavan and antharyAmi Brahmam ) and Cause for all ( KaaraNan ).

After gaining this understanding ( ithu nAmm karutthu uRak-kaNDa pinn),

we united with the Lord as the female AnRil bird with its male companion

( sEvaludan piriyAtha pedai pOl sErnthOm). As a direct result , we got

rid of the prior status of helplessness characterestric of those with bad

karmAs ( thee vinayOr tanimai yellAm nAmm theernthOm ).

 

131) Reaching the level of VivEkam /Nishtai described by AmalanAdhipirAn

**********************************************************

SrIranaga VimAnam has the shape of PraNavam recited first at

the commencement of VedAdhyayanam (PraNavAkAra VimAnam ).

Inside that VimAnam is seen the dhivya mangaLa vigraham of

the ocean of Mercy delighting the eyes of the devotees . We have

secured those e ten pasurams sung about Lord RanganAtha sung by

ThiruppANAzhwAr in a state of bliss as our recourse (gathi)

for sustenance and support . We desired this Prabhandham as

the one , which will confer on us the tranquility of mind and

firmness of purpose for seeking Moksha gathi . These prabhandha

pAsurams do not contain any yukthi vAdhams for critiquing

the deficinet darsanams but are intended for those knowledgable

about the svaroopams of the three Tatthvams . We strived to attain

the nishtai celebrated in this Prabhandham .We state in this ChillaRai

Rahasyam of Muni Vaahana BhOgam that the AmalanAdhipirAn

Prabhandham is the seed for all the Phalans described by the VedAnthis.

 

132) Seeking a SadAchAryan for gaining VisEsha Jn~Anam

***********************************************

ThiruppANAzhwAr never saw any thing with his eyes or spoke any thing

with his tongue EXCEPT Lord RanganAtha . We celebrate the ten paasurams

arising from ThiruppANar as the expressions of the boundless love he had for

Lord RanganAtha as the essence of the timeless Vedaas . We stand with

the title given to us as " VedAnthAchAryan " by the Lord Himself at this

Karma

BhUmi surrounded by the oceans , where we assemble to experience the phalans

of our karmAs. Even if we have been the object of such a high praise and

recognition by Lord RanganAtha , we have no ego and consider all these

anugrahams as the direct result of the benovolent glances cast on us by

our AchAryAs ; we will always stay in a state of seeking SadAchAryAs

for upadEsams to develop more visEsha Jn~Anam .

 

" KaaNbanavum Uraippanavum maRRu onRu inRi KaNNanayE

kaNDu uraitthavar PaaNN PerumAL " ( For ThiruppANar , what all

he saw , experienced and spoke about was nothing but KaNNan ).

 

If we have to qualify ThiruppANAzhwAr , it will be by the title ,

KaNNanidam " kadiya Kaathal (koNDa) PaaNN PerumAL "

( the One who had intense prEmai for KaNNan ).

 

The Paasurams blessed by him are the quintessence of the ancient

VedAs ( PaaNN PerumAL aruL seytha pAdal patthum Pazha

maRayin poruL ).

 

In this world surrounded by the wide oceans and desired by all

( vENN periya viri thirai neer VyatthuLLE ) , we have been blessed to

adorn the title of VedAnthAchAryan by the Lord of SrIrangam Himself

( VyatthuLLE VedAntha Aariyan yenRu iyamba ninROm ). Because of

this, we are not considering ourselves as great ( ithanAl , Naamm nANN

PeriyOm ) and feel egotistic .We continue to seek the SadAchAryAs ,

who can perform upadEsams for us on the righteous and unrighteous

matters and are convinced that they do exist to help us ( nanRum theethum

namakku uraippAr uLar yenRu nAduvOm ) .
