Iraamaanusa nooRRanthAthi- 98th verse- oh mind! Do not lament! Ramanuja would never ever let us down

[Guest guest]

SrI:

SrImathE Ramanujaya namah:

 

Dearest all

 

Having described the greatness and vaibhavam of

EmperumAnAr Ramanuja, he apprehends that the Lord

pushes one into the heaven or hell depending on the

puNya, paapams and then lets us suffer again in

samsaaric affliction due to the enormous sins

committed. Is there any way to get out of this?

Amudhanaar himself responds that if one surrenders to

the lotus feet of Ramanuja, he would never ever let us

down and one need not fear.

EmperumAnAr appeared only for our sake. In order to

save each one of us, he is born in this world. You

alone are my refuge- is enough for him to take full

care of us and place us at the feet of Sriman

Narayanan. Will he place in the pleasures of heaven?

Or even after surrendering to him, will he put in the

scorching hell? Will he stop the further births due to

the accrued karma? Or will he let us continue what we

desire running behind material pursuits and worldly

pleasures as usual for ever? He would never do that.

After having surrendered to him, oh mind! Don’t ever

have any doubt. Don’t lament or have fear.

 

manamE – Oh mind!

saraNam enRaal – surrendering to you saying “you alone

are my refuge”

iraamanuan – the paramaacharya who accepted our

saranagathi

nammai – us [you and me]

iniya- even if we don’t want to go, the pleasures of

swargatthil – devalokam

idum E- push into..

innam-more than we suffer

narakil ittu sudumE- burn in the scorching suffering

in hell [narakam]

avatrai- or their continuance of

thollai piRappil – the time immemorial innumerable

births and deaths as animal, plants and humans

nadumE- be placed in them… [such births]

ini, num vasatthE- or to our desires

vidumE- let us go and wander as we please

mEvuthaRkku naiyal- [even if Acharyan – HE WILL NOT-

even if he does, don’t feel remorseful or bad to

accept the same… as it is acaharyan’s command and we

would have to abide. All are equal to us.

 

Chakravartthi Thirumagan said: Even if my father

orders: Jump into well or jump into the fire. “ I am

willing to do with pleasure. When he sends me to the

forest, will I not go?” Similarly, after taking refuge

at the feet of Ramanuja, whatever he says, we will

have to do. Will he do Asritha virOdham? If he asks us

to do something, or if places us somewhere, it is for

betterment of ours. It will do good to us, though it

may not look or sound to us now due to limited or no

knowledge or vision. We are his dAsar and we would

abide by what he asks us to do.

 

Will he then push into the scorching hell? No. he will

not, by the word “ saraNam enRaal”.

 

In the 30th verse [inbantnaru] and the 34th verse [en

peyvinai] naraka prasthAvam is mentioned. The birth

here in this earth is equivalent to the hell and/or

heaven.

 

Num raamanusan- word means our Ramanuja- the One whose

thinking is always for our welfare and safety. He

always thinks of our hitham.. For the pleasure of the

Lord, this iLaya perumAL has come into this world for

saving us [the darling children of Sriman Narayanan].

 

Don’t lament. He would never ever let us down. All

that we want [oh mind!] is to serve him and be with

him.. We would always do what he instructs us to do.

We surrendered to AzhwAn due to his instruction only..

similarly we will do what he wants or places us. That

is the hallmark of being his dAsar.
