>>Dear BhakthAs of OppilA Appan :

>>

>>Let us study the second paasuram of Thirumangai Mannan

>>( Periya Thirumozhi : 6.2.2) :

>>

>>maRanthEn Unnai munnam maRantha mathiyin manatthAl

>> iRanthEn yetthanayum athanAl idumpaik-kuzhiyil

>>piRanthu yeytthu ozhinthEn PerumAn ! ThirumArbhA !

>> siRanthEn NinnaddikkE ThiruviNNagar MeyavanE

>>

>>(Meaning ) : Oh Lord of ThiruviNNagaram ! In many janmAs before ,

>>adiyEn had svaroopa Jn~Anam about our relationship and at the end of

>>those janmAs , adiyEn forgot however about You and our indissoluble

>>relationship . adiyEn's mind got attached to other matters and as a result

>>,

>>adiyEn had to suffer through the assumption of aditional janmAs and

>>become

>>a SamsAri again and again . Just as You said : " Yamm YammvApi smaran

>>bhAvam

>>thyajathyanthE kaLEbharam , tamm tamEvaithi " . adiyEn attained

>>accordingly

>>different births as birds , animals or humans and suffered .

>>Again In all these births , adiyEn lost the rememberance of You .

>>adiyEn continued to suffer and this cycle went on and on .

>>adiyEn knew many things in these janmAs , but did not remember

>>You and adiyEn came under the category of " asannEva sa bhavathy " .

>>As a result , adiyEn experienced the sorrowful state of stay in

>>different wombs and became powerless to break the cycles of births

>>and deaths. Oh Omnipotent Swamy , who can banish these miserable

>>cycles of births in different yonis and grant adiyEn Moksham !

>>Oh Lord , who has given Your chest as the place of esidence for

>>Your most merciful PirAtti , who pleads for our redemption

>>with You ! adiyEn has finally arrived before You in a state of fulle

>>rememberance of our indissoluable relationship . adiyEn is standing

>>before You with no other recourse ( in a state of aakinchanyam

>>and ananyagathithvam ) . Please bless adiyEn with Your Mahaa anugraham !

>>

>>Special Notes :

>>******************

>>Thirumangai focuses on the Sesha-seshi ( Liege-Master) relationship

>>between

>>the Jeevan and the ParamAthman . Jeevan/Seshan is eternal (nithya) and an

>>amsam of ParamAthman . Jeevan , which exists in Brahman all the time is

>>the

>>possessor of the essential intrinsic attributes such as Jn~Ana and

>>Aanandha.

>>During the time of creation , the Jeevan gets embodied , has a name and

>>physical form . Its svaroopam ( intrinsic nature) does not undergo any

>>change . The only change that takes place in it after creation is

>>the shrinking and expansion of its dharma bhootha Jn~Anam or

>>attributive knowledge . In the embodied state , Jeevan exercises

>>its rights as the agent of action (karthaa) as prompted by ParamAthma .

>>The activity of the Jeevan (Kartruthvam ) takes place because of

>>ParamAthman , the indweller . The bondage in SamsAram

>>and the liberation from it are caused by ParamAthman . Through

>>appropriate

>>Saadhana /UpAsana , the Jeevan is blessed to attain Mukthi and freedom

>>from

>>the cycles of births and deaths. In the state of Mukthi , the Jeevan

>>remains a distinct entity from Iswaran though it is integrally related

>>(apruthak bhUtan) to Iswaran as substance and attribute (PrakAri

>>and PrakAra mode of Brahman ). In the state of Mukthi , the liberated

>>Jeevan enjoys at the Supreme abode of ParamAthman all the desired things

>>(BhOgams) along with ParamAthman . Upanishads instruct us that

>> " Moksha is not merely a total liberation for Jevan from the state of

>>bondage or the cessation of avidhya but it is the existence for Jeevan

>>free from bondage in a higher realm enjoying the bliss of Brahman " .

>>

>>Thirumangai Mannan seeks this deliverance form the cycles of births and

>>deaths and the acquisition of the bliss of enjoying ThiruviNNagarappan and

>>performing nithya kaimkaryam to Him in His Parama Padham .To this Ubhaya

>>lingathva NaaTan , ThiruviNnagarappan ( free from any defects and

>>possessor

>>of all auspicious attributes ) , Thirumangai appeals for release from the

>>SamsAric sufferings . Thirumangai admits to the Lord that he due to karama

>>vaasanais forgot the aadhAra-aadhEya realtionship between him as

>>a sesha bhuthan of the Lord and the Lord as Sarva Seshi . Iswaran is the

>>supporter (aadhAra) and the Jeevan and Prakruthi are the supported

>>(aadhEya) . Forgetfulness about that led to repeated births and deaths

>>and stay in different yOnis. In a state of ananya gathithvam and

>>aakinchanyam , Thirumangai approaches now ThiruviNNagarappan

>>and seeks the highest boon of Moksham . He stresses the theological view

>>of

>>Moksham , the eternal divine service to the Lord and His divine consort at

>>SrI Vaikuntam ( Thiru ViNNagar) . Thirumangai folows the footsteps of

>>Swamy

>>NammAzhwAr and seeks the boon of " uninterrupted , appropraite service

>>to Sriya: Pathi at all times ( Ozhivil kAlamellAm udanAy manni) . This is

>>recognized as Parama PurushArTam made available to the liberated Jeevan

>>in the state of Mukthi . This is the eternal divine service (Kaimkaryam )

>>that Thirumangai longs for . He longs for the experience of ParipoorNa

>>\BrahmAnadham through nithya , niravadhya Kaimakryam to the Lord

>>and His divine consort at ThiruviNNagaram ( Parama Padham) .
