Mudhal AzhwAr TN- Today Poigai AzhwAr TN- Aippasi ThiruvONam..

[Guest guest]

Sri:

SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest all,

 

Let us enjoy one pAsuram from PoigaiAzhwAr's Mudhal

Thiruvandhaadhi. His Thirunakshathram falls on today

[aippasi ThiruvONam]. He is the first of

mudhalAzhwArs.

 

uLan kaNdaay nan nenjE! utthaman enRum/

uLan kaNdaay, uLLuvaaruLLath- thuLan KaNdaay/

veLLatthinuLLaanum vEnkadatthu mEyaanum/

uLLatthin uLLaan enRu Or. (99).

 

Oh good supportive and cooperative Mind! Realise that

there is One; who is the Greatest of Greatest virtuous

Lord! Those who contemplate on Him in their hearts of

His Supremacy and His Lordship, He resides in them (in

their hearts willingly and lovingly). He is the One

who is on Milky Ocean (on AdhiSeshan); He is the Same

One who is at ThiruvEnkatam. He is the One who

manifests as antharyaami (in all beings).

 

Thirumazhisai azhwAr refers to the same words in his

naanmukhan ThiruvanthAthi 86th verse:

 

Oh My dearest supporting mind! (uLan kaNdaay! nan

nenjE!.. utthaman enRum uLan kaNdaay! uLLuvaar

uLLatthu uLan kaNdaay? Without expecting anything in

return, Emperumaan- PurushOtthaman- is here -right

here- to save us and protect us; At all times, and at

all places, He is always there to save us; He always

resides permanently in the minds of those who just

show their inclination to think of Him.

 

See!, Emperumaan, who has NONE EQUAL TO HIM, who is

Equal to HIM ONLY, is here as my rakshakan, for me

(who has NO OTHER REFUGE EXCEPT HIM), and others (like

me) who have NO OTHER MEANS TO ATTAIN HIM. Realise

that Completely and firmly, my mind!

 

He is Utthaman – Not just Utthaman- PurushOtthman-

 

In the Purushoththama Yogam (15th chapter of Bhagavath

Gita), BhagavAn SrI Krishna says:

 

dvAvimow purushow lOkE ksharaschAkshara Eva cha |

kshara: sarvANi bhUthAni kUtasthOakshara uchyathE ||

The types of jIvAtmans is mentioned here..

 

Uththama: purushasthvanya: paramAthmEthudAhrutha: |

yO lokatrayamAvishya bibharthyavyaya Iswara: ||

 

ParamAtma is described as to being different from all

chit and achit entities.

 

yasmAthksharamatIthOhamaksharAdapi chOththama: |

athOasmi lokE vEdE cha prathitha: PURUSHOTHTHAMA: ||

 

Vedas and saatshras confirm that the God (ParamAtma)

is Purushoththama:

 

yO mAmEvamasammUDO jAnAthi purushOththamam |

sa sarvavidbhajathi mAm sarvabhAvEna bhAratha ||

 

He who understands clearly that the one and only God

is Purushoththama: SrIman nArAyaNa:, knows everything.

Krishna says: One who udnestands me thus: is the

knower of everything.
