Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesikamahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, After Poigai AzhwAr’s anubhavam, let us continue to enjoy the next AzhwAr’s -BhoothatthAzhwAr’s- wonderful anubhavams on ThiruvEnkatam. 26th and 27th verses do not contain any reference to ThiruvEnkatam name in them; however the verse refer to pathi (place) as that place… which means it refers to the place which was last referred to as that place. The last reference was 25th verse which is ThiruvEnkatam verse. Hence Sri Peruyavacchan Pillai refers these two verses to ThiruvEnkatam as well. vanthith thavanai vazin^inRa aimbootham ainthum agatthadakki yaarvamaay, - unthip padiyamarar vElaiyaan paNdamarark keentha, padiyamarar vaazum pathi. 26 This divya desam of Thirumalai Tirupathi is like the prize granted and given to devas for them to come here and pay their obeisance. The five elements within the body are the hurdles and virOdhis of reaching the Lord as they tempt the mind and body to run amuck behind the worldly pleasures and material pursuits. Thus taming and controlling them and not letting them go out astray, they reach the Lord with devotion and love and pay their obeisance. Pancha bhUthams for our bodies: It is also echoed by NammAzhweAr in Thiruvaymozhi ThidavisumperivaLi--SuranE " , [TVM 1.1.7] where Swamy NammAzhwAr celebrates the Lord as the creator of al things from pancha bhUthams and dissolves them during PraLayam and recreates using them. There are additional places also, where other AzhwArs as well as Swamy NammazhwAr stress this point .The place to enjoy this above quoted paasuram of Swamy NammazhwAr is to connect to AaRaayirappadi, where more than six dozen Veda pramAnamams and PurANa-IthihAsa citations are made. Chathur mukha BrahmA and other devas compete with each other, pushing against each other to reach The milky ocean where He is most beautifully reclining; Tirumla is the place deemed to be the prize given to Nithyasuris for them to come and pay their obeisance on this earth. [such most divinely beautiful place is Thirumala- ThiruvEnkatam] AzhwAr ThiruvaDigaLE SaraNam Sri PadmavathI samEtha Sri Srinivasa ParabrahmaNE Namah: Regards Namo Narayana Dasan Mail - You care about security.
