SrI:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

Oct 22nd, 23rd and 24th- are the birthdays

(Thirunakshathrams) of Mudhal AzhwArs namely, Poigai

Azhwar, BhoothatthAzhwAr and PeyAzhwAr.

Please click here to read the life of these AzhwArs.

They were born on three consecutive days and were NOT

born from human bodies. They simply appeared on

earth.. as little infants.

Let us pay our respects and prostrate at the feet of

this Adhi kavi, Poigai AzhwAr- the first among the 12

AzhwArs- reciting a

Thanian (a dedication verse) on PoigaiAzhwAr:

 

Kaidai sEr poopozhil soozh kacchi nagar vandhudhittha/

poigai pirAn kavignar pEr yERu-vaiyatthu/

adiyArgaL vAzha arum thamizh nooRRandhAdhi/

pAdi viLanga seydhAn parindhu/

 

Very true! How excellently composed on this great

first [AzhwAr] among equals.

 

Meaning: Poigai AzhwAr was born in the (poompozhil)

garden city of

kacchi(kAnchipuram). He composed the 100 pAsurams in

andhAdhi style, with utmost concern and

mercy/compassion to save the earth (and thereby us,

the earthly beings) and to take us to the Lord's Lotus

feet. (Then, what's the worry?-cheer up!)

 

Let us pay our respects to our BhoodatthAzhwAr whose

thirunakshathram was on saturday. The thanian of

Thirukkurugai pirAn declares what we wish to do for

this AzhwAr.

 

En piRavi theera iRainjinEn innamudha/

anbE thagaLi aLiththAnai- Nun pugazh sEr/

seedathAr muthukkaL sErum kadan mallai/

bhoodatthAr ponnan kazhal

 

Meaning: To get rid of samsara, it is he who gave us

the insatiable nectar " anbE thagaLiyA " pAsuram, the

one, who is known for his wisdom (para GnAnam). He was

born at Mahabalipuram (kadan mallai). I prostrate at

the feet of BhoodatthAzhwAr.

 

Let us pray obeisance to one of the Great

MudhalAzhwAr's, pEyAzhwAr, who was a parama bhakthA of

Sriman NarayaNa. He composed MoonRam thiruvandhAdhi,

hundred pAsurams after being blessed with

Thiruvikraman's ThirumEni darsanam. He started off

with A GRAND " THIRUKKANDEN PONMENI KANDEN.... " .

 

SeerAru mada thirukkoviloor athauL/

kArAr karu mudhalaik kANappukku/

orAt thirukkaNdEn enRu uRaitha seerAn kazhalE

uraikkaNdAi nenjE! ugandhu.

 

In the lovely Thirukkoiloor, where the Lord appears

with the colour of the rain bearing clouds,

experiencing an intimate closeness and love with Him,

our pEyAzhwAr has given us the pAsurams " ThirukkaNdEn

pon mEni kaNdEn.. " in andhAdhi style. By prostrating

and meditating on the feet of this pEyAzhwAr, Oh mind!

you can derive ultimate Divine ecstasy.

 

He was called pEy for his parama bhakti for the Lord

and he was

concentrating on Him so much (The intensity is

described as pEy). The intensity of our pEyAzhwAr's

love and bhakti was such that without this anubhavam,

he would die like a fish out of water.
