Dearest Srivaishnavas,

 

Let us continue to enjoy the next AzhwAr’s

-BhoothatthAzhwAr’s- wonderful anubhavams on

ThiruvEnkatam. Next and today’s verse on ThiruvEnkatam

is 33rd verse.

 

thuNinthathu sinthai thuzaayalangal, angam

aNinthavanpE ruLLatthup palgaal, - paNinthathuvum

vEypiRangu saaral viRalvENG kadavanaiyE,

vaaythiRangaL sollum vagai. 33

 

my mind has firmly caught hold of the divine names of

the most fragrant thuLasi garland adorned Lord and

been contemplating and meditating only Him very many

times; It has been attempting and trying to do that;

My body prostrates performing saashtAnga praNAmams at

the strongest and Supreme Lord of ThiruvEnkatam where

tall bamboos tress have grown densely; my mouth has

bravely and wisely chosen to utter His glorious deeds

and attributes of Him again and again.

 

AzhwAr mentions that his manas, vaak and kaayam (mind,

speech and action) all three align themselves to pay

his obeisance to the Lord ThiruvEnkatamudaiyaan.

Unless the three factors synchronise, and act in

tandem, then there will be no straight forward actions

and there will be conflicts within our own self.

 

AndAl also mentions the same in thooyOmaay vandu,

thoomalar thoovi thozhdhu, Vaayinaal paadi,

manatthinaal sindhikka… here also three namely mind,

body and action are referred to.

 

In Thiruppavai 5th verse, she refers to the above

line:

[From SrI SatakOpan Swamin’s article on this PAsuram

of Thiruppavai:]

 

ThUmalar thoovi thozhuthu , VaayinAL paadi, ManathinAl

chinthikka " : Suddha pushpAnjali as at Thirumalai is

Thoomalar Thoovuthal ; Among the flowers , Utthama

pushpam is the one grown by one in one's own garden

(nandhavanam )for the Lord like periyAzhwAr and

ThoNDaradippodi); madhyama pushpam is one grown in

common ground; the adhama pushpam is one , which are

collected through yaachakam from others.TuLasi Pushpa

samarpanam and manthra Pushpa samarpaNam are very dear

to our Lord's heart. Hence ANDAL recommends them here

..After PushpAnjali, the naama sankIrthanam (VaayinAL

paadi) has to be conducted. Bhagavath guna

dhyAna Chinthanai (dhyAnam) follows next. AmbharIsha

chakravarthy's dhyAnam of KrishNan (Sa vai Mana:

KrishNa:) is the way to follow .

 

ManathinAl chinthikka, pOya Pizhayum , puhu taruvAn

ninRanavum theeyinil thUsAhum CHEPPU " : If we offer

pushpAnjali with a suddha manas, sing the glory of His

naamAs and meditate on Him, all of our accumulated

sins as well as the ones accrued after Saranagathi

will be burnt to ashes like the bale of cotton thrown

into a blazing fire.
