Dear Sri Nrusimha BhakthAs :

 

It is my pleasure to forward the mail of Sri Murali Rangaswamy

regarding the Vaibhavam of Sri Lakshmi Nrusimhan .

 

Thnak you Sri MuraLi Rangaswamy ,

Sri:

 

SrimatE Gopaladesika MahadesikAya Namaha,

 

Dear Sadagopan Swamin

 

Thanks a lot for your wonderful account of the Panaka Aradhanam for

Bhagavan Nrusimha. As you know, He is the foremost among the avatarams f

the Lord-matchless is his glory as declared by the Taittriya Upanishad

salutation " yathO vachO nivarthanthE aprApya manasA saha " . The mantram or

Bhagavan Nrusimha reigns supreme among all mantrams as eloquently

discussed by Mahavidvan Paramapadavasi Sri Mukkur akshminarasimhachariar

Swamin " nayanagam shabdham " . When examined from tantra shastram practised

in KeraLa, Nrusimha tAntrikam reigns on top of all the tantrams. Bhagavan

Nrusimha is the first avataram glorified in the Vishnu sahasranamam

(nArasimhavapushrimAn keshavapurushotthama:). Swamy Parashara hattar

glorifies this namam as " Sundara Simha: " for the fact that the maneof the

Lion was beautiful to behold. He is the beloved of the Ubhaya nacchyars.

In the Bhagavatam, Rukmini sends her message to Krishna in the fom of 7

shlokams urging him to come to her rescue. Not once does she addess the

Lord as Krishna. Instead she pleads " Please come to my aid in a timely

manner as Bhagavan Nrusimha " (kAlE Nrusimha). In the Nacchiyar tirumozhi

Andal elaborates on the reason for this appeal through the Brindavana

Pasuram " mAlAy pirandha nambiyE mAlE.. " i.e., Rukmini was fearful of Lord

Krishna's propensity for lying. In the VaraNam ayiram Pasuram, when asked

who is it that held Her hand during the performance of the Laaja Homam at

Her wedding, Andal responds with the salutation " arimUkhan achyuthan " .

Rukmini being the Amsham of Sri Devi and Andal being the amsham of Bhu

Devi have thus unequivocally declared their fondness for Bhagavan

Nrusimha.

 

Periya Azhwar declares that " a song which does not glorify Bhagavan

Nrusimha is no song at all " . Furthermore in the Tirupallandu, he eulogizes

Bhagavan Nrusimha as " andhiyampOdhil arivuruvAgi ariyai azhithavanai " for

His timely arrival to uphold the words of His Bhakta " tasmAth sthambhEna

dhrushyathE "

NammAzhwar, the avowed lover of Kannan declares through the salutation

" yen singapirAn perumai " that even in Srivaikuntam, he desires to see none

other than Bhagavan Nrusimha.

 

Blessed are those who receive respectfully on their Heads, the dust from

the Feet of those who worship Bhagavan Nrusimha. Adiyen offers this

salutation to Swamin for being privy to the Anugraham of H.H. Srimad

Azhagiyasingar.
