Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 27th verse- I have an apprehension that my dirty mind influences me....

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all,

 

I addressed Ramanuja as the dark clouds that dispelled

my ignorance, darkness; Do we have to go to the clouds

and quench our thirsts or does the cloud have to come

towards us and shower on us? Naturally it is cloud’s

nature to come to shower by itself on us. Even if stay

away, He comes on His own and showers and saves me.

Thus it is my naichyanusanthAnam and it adds to my

dAsathvam’s guNA. He on His own accord blesses me and

it reflects on His dayA.

 

Let us enjoy the 27th verse:

 

koLLak kuRaivaR Rilangik kozunthuvit tOngiyavun

vaLLal thanaththinaal valvinai yEnmanam neepukunthaay

veLLaich chutarvitum unperu mEnmaik kizukkithenRu

thaLLuR Rirangum iraamaa Nnucha!en thanin^enchamE! 27

 

EmperumaanaarE! Sri RamanujA! You keep granting all

that one asks for and continue to grant to the fullest

extent; thus, your audhaaryam keeps on increasing

multifold. Due to your such great nature, you have

even chosen to reside in this sinner- paaviyEn's

heart. My heart is pained to see that such Glorious

DevarIr (you) are residing in such lowly heart of

adiyEn in spite of the disqualification that adiyEn

possesses. My heart has an apprehension and is afraid

that Your GLORY and GREATNESS will be corrupted by

Your staying in adiyEn's heart and chooses to continue

staying therein. (what a description by amudhanaar!)

 

The lonely mind … thani nenjam… Even if I think that I

am saved by Acharya sambandham, thinking back my

blunders, the asahya apacharams committed so far and

continuing to do so make me wonder why and it reflects

my naichyanusanthAnam.

 

Being so lowly and with such a filthy mind, I am

worried if Ramanuja who is in my heart may get ill

effects from the mind therein. If that is the case

even with Ramanuja staying therein, what about other

sishyas.. And how is it possible for me to be

supported by them with such a mind! When Sri Ramanuja

himself gets affected or influenced by my mind's

imperfections, where is the question for others [his

sishyas] to support or save me!

 

Thani nenjam- The lone mind which is mine alone and

that is unclean.

 

I have an apprehension if it would harm Sri Ramanuja

residing therein.
